HEADLINES FROM WORLD PRESS

Each day we offer samples of headlines that appeared in the world press along with our comments.

Australia, Sydney Morning Herald:  ”Police Close Illegal Bar”

That means a bar that did not pay off the police.

USA, NY Post: “CIA Thwarts Underwear Bomber”

Whew, one smelly story if you ask me.

Norway, Norway Post:  ”Head On Crash With Train”

We are pleased to report the train is doing well.

Canada, Toronto Star:   “Pushing Past The Limit And Proud”

The story of our beloved Republican party.

Turkey, Hurriyet:  ”Violence Not Linked To Education”

Depends on how you define, “education.”

Russia, Moscow Times:  ”What Killed Lenin?”

Listening to Stalin talk?

New Zealand, New Zealand Herald:  ”Mysterious Photos”

They show a Republican urging aid to the poor!

Mitt DumbThen And Now!

Mitt Romney is upset because is enemies are calling into today, some mistakes, not that he really may have committed those mistakes, into existence. OK, so he led a gang when an adolescent which held down a boy and cut off his hair because the boy was sort of effeminate. OK, so he led a near blind teachers into a door and giggled at the sight. It WAS funny. OK, so his current attitude is: “You know,, I, I did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt or offended, obviously, I apologize.”

 

Of course during adolescent years we all do some dumb things, and we all regret those actions, but the key issue is “do we recall the hurts we did to others?” And, are we truly sorry for what transpired in the past. But, the essential issue is “did we learn from mistakes of the past?” Today, Mitt denies supporting women rights, he denies supporting gay rights, he denies being in support of healthcare for all. It is interesting that he never apologizes for denying what he did and never stands up for doing the right thing–years ago, that is. To stand up for  social justice is the mark of a real man–and a decent human being.

Security Guards Save America From Terrorist!!

Security personnel at La Guardia airport did a fantastic job of avoiding a possible massive terrorist plot that might have led to the death of thousands. Their alert eyes spotted this 89 year old man in a wheelchair. There  was something suspicious about the man and when confronted, he spoke with some sort of foreign accent. The security team went into action, according to an observer, “they gave him the full pat-down. None of the agents  seemed to know who he was.”

Actually, the alleged Muslim terrorist was former  US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, who happens to be Jewish, but what the heck, he looked suspicious sitting in a wheelchair. He might have been hiding bombs, or, perhaps  even worse, copies of his speeches.
We can all sleep comfortably tonight knowing airport security is watching elderly men in wheelchairs.

Germans Baffled By US Opposing Healthcare!!

Most Europeans are baffled by the controversy in America concerning national health care. Republicans claim national health care insurance is an example of Socialism or Communism. It originally was introduced into Germany in the NINETEENTH CENTURY by arch CONSERVATIVE Otto von  Bismarck in order to challenge Socialism. Europeans understand that health insurance MUST include healthy as well as sick people or the insurance system would  collapse, that is a basic concept of all insurance plans.

German businessmen are completely confused why American businessmen do not support national health insurance. In Europe, businessmen can produce cars without worrying about the large cost paid by American businessmen for worker health care. Americans now rank about 15th in life expectancy and more children die young than in  20 other nations.

Cynthia Barcomi, a German cafe owner put it this way: “The national healthcare system is an incredibly important thing for everybody, for the entire society and for the health of society.” Conservatives insist they are religious. Do any of them believe Jesus would have opposed health care for the poor??

Defending Gun Owners

It is increasingly evident that those who love  guns are among the most persecuted people in the United States. For example, I can not even go to a bank with gun in hand without having some guard pull a gun and demand that I surrender what is my property! For  some reason when I was in Washington D.C. and wanted to enter the Halls of Congress some SOCIALIST THUG COP seized MY GUN and told me guns were not allowed in Congress!! How can they deny a God fearing white Christian(or Jew for that matter) the right to take guns where we damn well please??

I have placed a gun in my baby’s crib so that she can grow up loving guns. Of course, I place bullets in the gun since she has to learn early proper maintenance of guns. If we doesn’t then, boom, there goes another daughter. I have heard rumors that first graders will not be allowed to have guns in class if COMMUNIST SOCIALIST GUN HATING Barack Obama is re-elected president of this wonderful gun loving land.

Protect our children, stand up for loaded guns in every nook and crany of our society. Vote for those who love guns. Above all, get your four year old a gun for God’s sake! What if someone tried to rob him?

Dominique Straussed Out Over Maid

Dominque Strauss Kahn is very upset at a maid who he seduced because she claims  he forced sexual intentions on her. He charges that Natissatou Diallo. a hotel maid that he impregnated with his fluids lied by charing that he  raped her. DSK says she “knowingly and intentionally made a false  report to law enforcement authorities.”

DSK is convinced her rape claims stemmed from a Sarkozy plot to destroy his candidacy for president of France. He agrees to having sex with the maid, the issue is whether she was attacked or seduced. Frankly, given the dozens, if not hundreds, of women the great French lover has seduced,who  can doubt this innocent female was simply overwhelmed by the chubby little man?

DSK, you might be a great economist, but sexual dynamism is not your strong suit.

Gay Not Right In Virginia!

It is perfectly OK in the state of Virginia  to be gay, that is, to laugh and to giggle and to have a good time, but, it is not gay to be gay. Tracy Thorne-Begland, an outstanding lawyer had his name recommended to become a district judge, and although he received 33-31 votes in the General Assembly, the governor did not think it gay to select an openly gay person. Among complaints was that he would be prejudiced on cases dealing with gay defendants.

Let me get this straight, if one is pro-business, then one is NOT prejudiced when cases come before the bar. If one is pro-Christianity, then one is NOT prejudiced if a defendant is Christian. I get it, the concept of “prejudice” does not come into play until you display signs of being a gay person!

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

A successful political leader, leads, not follows public opinion.

All too many spume who they are is all they can be.

Some whine about fate, I accept it, but I may change its terms.

As a child, I accepted life as is, as an adult I often seek to change the “as is.”

Words not spoken can not return to haunt us.

I had an unspoken love for my pop.

My mother lived in anger, my father in silence.

From my parents I learned the importance of love.

People insist on toasting my bagel, I was raised with warm fresh bagels.

Since leaving the armed forces I have never worn a badge which informs the world as to who I am.

Interesting advice. “If you know the line that you will next write, cease writing and try again later.”

Some peer at newspaper as it lies on table. I do not.

Mystery  of life: Is it permissible to eat while friend is getting coffee?

Kansas Opposes Islamic Law!!

The state legislature of Kansas has passed legislation that prevents Muslim terrorists from seizing control of our courts and forcing decent, hard working American patriots to adhere to Muslim law. At last count, there are at least 121 Muslims in Kansas and thus there effort to subvert state law has been ended! The people of Kansas can sleep tonight knowing that when they awake in the morning Sharia law will not compel them to pray facing Mecca nor will women have to wear a niquab!

There are reports that members of the Kansas legislature wept with joy at their courageous act in holding back hordes of Muslims who intended to take over the state government. Ministers uttered prayers, people hugged and kissed one another in the streets of Kansas towns since they were saved from evil Muslim terrorists. God Bless Kansas.

The state  legislature also passed laws that prevent Kansas courts from citing laws in other nations when rendering decisions. I think this will create a problem since the United  States historically has been based on English common  law!

Israelis Finally Behave Like Jews!

Those of the Jewish faith who actually believe in the  core principles of our religion understand that historically we have supported the quest for human rights. There are hundreds of  men and women in Israel prisons who  have never been brought to court and allowed to confront accusers and prove their innocence. If Israel police say you are a “terrorist” then it must be true-at least that is the norm for modern day Jews in Israel. Given the presence of terrorists who cares about old fashioned ideas like, “innocent until proven guilty.”

A hunger strike by over 2,000 prisoners in Israel jails finally ended when the Netanyahu government agreed to end solitary confinement, to allow visits by family members and to treat prisoners with respect for their dignity as humans. After the capture of Sgt. Gilad Shalit family visits were prohibited on ground that Shalit could not have family visits. Of course, he was freed months ago, so the reason for maintaining the prohibition is……..  ??

There never will be peace between Israel and Palestinians until the government of Israel initiates steps to respect basic Palestinian rights to their land, to free movement, and to end violence by settlers who seize what does not belong to them–in the name of God!k
