We offer samples of headlines that appeared in the world press along with our comments.

Sweden, Local:  ”Pigeons Beheaded”

Do they get cake along with it?

Turkey, Hurriyet:  ”Sex Consensual Because Victim Didn’t Scream”

If I raise my hands during a robbery does it mean I am greeting the robber?

France, Connexion: “French Genocide Law On Hold”

Now, if we just get genocide on hold!

Denmark, Copenhagen Post:  ”Baby Looks Like Saddam Hussein”

Does that mean the baby has to shave everyday?

Should I spread my legs when reading it?

Norway, Norway Post:  ”Norwegian Ship Attacked By Pirates”

You are Norsemen, for God’s sake, so what is strange about fighting pirates?

Don’t pay the fare, pay the penalty!

For Newt Gingrich, he is king everyday and  you are his subjects!

Republican Follies Go On And On!

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Future political  scientists will have a wonderful time writing books and articles about the vaudeville show that has been touring America for the past year. It originally featured Michele, Tim, Rick, Rick, Herman, Newt, Mitt, and grandfathr Ron.  Today, alas, we are left with Rick, Neswt, Mitt and grand dad Ron. Mitt appeared to be in the lead for securing the presidential nomination, but  first Newt got in his  way, and last night, Rick had a hat trick with three  victories.

Evangelicals and Conservatives manned the barriers and halted the Mitt procession on grounds the millionaire was simply a LIBERAL dressed in Conservative clothes. Rick yelled with boyish enthusiasm, ‘I don’t stand here as the Conservative alternative to Mitt Romney, I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama.”

Perhaps, the highlight of the evening was watching Mitt use a teleprompter in order to inform his supporters that  Rick had won.

It’s OK To Be Gay In California

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

A Federal panel of Judges from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that California’s Proposition 8 which banned gay and lesbian marriages violated the US Constitution. It also supported the ideas of Judge Vaughan Walker who initially ruled the ban was illegel since it violated the rights of gays and lesbians. Opponents challenged his ruling on grounds that he was biased due to being a gay person.

If we ruled out judges based on their connections, where would that leave Justice Scalia who is a  well known supporter of  conservative groups? How could Mitt Romney serve as president and sign laws since his heart and soul belong to wealthy and bussinesss people of this land?

Jews Without Consciences

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

There are people who claim to be Jews and there are people who actually are Jews. We Jews have encountered hate and prejudice for over 2,000 years so it is only normal for a JEW to oppose hate and violence against those who  can not defend themselves. A Jewish-Arab bilingual school and a Christian monastery in Jerusalem were defaced with graffiti saying, “Death to Arabs” and “Kahane Was Right.” The Monastery received a “Death to Christian” comment by those claimingt to be Jews. The bilingual school contains Jewish and  Arab students who work together in a symbol of peace and brotherhood.

Nadia Knani, principal of the elementary school was horrified at such expressions of anger towards “young children from ages 3 to 18(who) study       together in coexistence.”  Most probably the expressions were written by Jewish West Bank settlers who claim a personal relation with God.

Who are these West Bank creatures of hate? They cerrtainly are NOT Jews. I suspect they would fit into a Nazi society quite well.

Ahmadinejad’s Tough Times

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

The government and society of Iran is in a mess. Within the nation, Ayatollah Khamenei and President Mahmoud Adhmadinejad spend their time arguing as to who has the power and who does not have the power. The Ayatollah so enjoys rubbing the face of President Ahmadinejad into the dirt in order to make clear who calls the shots of power. Now, for the first time in history, the Iranian Parliament wants the President to appear and answer some questions concerning his administration of government.

Economic sanctions have resulted in decline of the economy, growing inflation and realization by the business community that trade increasingly is difficult due to clerical  demands for nuclear weapons. New sanctions will be imposed within the coming weeks that make even more difficult trade and commerce.

So, President Ahmadinejad will have to explain to Parliament about “irregularities” in his government. Of course, the main “irregularity” is pursuing nuclear weapons even though it  results in economic disaster.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

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

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Today is Saturday, I wonder who is ahead in Republican race for president.

I am a kind friend, alas, many are not.

There are those “with ideas,” the problem is all too often we are better off with those without ideas.

Parents tower over children until that magic moment when shorty is the tall one.

I wonder if there are seasons in Heaven.

I am truly impressed by those who wear shorts in winter.

I am the solitary man in life.

When reading, I never hold my hand on a page.

It is important in life to respect the privacy of others.

I never in real life encounter people like those blond haired women on Fox News who carry a perennial smile on their faces.

I would go to hell before eating a McDonald’s hamburger.

I demand of others high moral and ethical standards, that is why I have few friends.

I once stood on a mountain top in the Rockies. So near to God was I.

Santorum New Republican Saint

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Rick won big in Minnesota and Missouri and his victorious performance in Colorado indicates that he will continue to be a presence in the Republican race for the presidency. Mitt once again miffed the chance to prove he is popular among Republicans. Actually, it would be wonderful if Mitt actually gained 50% of the vote in any state in the union. Rick gave his normal speech, about his love for America, his love for his wife, his love for his children, his love for his hard working grandfather, his love of standing before a microphone and having people pay attention to his words.

Mitt’s response to getting whipped was to attack Obama and toss around some lies about unemployment. About 10% of Missouri voters voted for Uncommitted. We suggest the Republican Party make contact with this guy and have him enter the race for president.

Dirty Harry Blasts Conservatives

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Clint Eastwood, who gained fame in movies depicting a conservative advocate of law and order, has become the enemy of Republican conservatives who dislike anyone uttering a word of praise regarding the American economy.Eastwood narrated a two minute Chrysler ad in which he praised the Detroit automobile industry for staging a comback due to aid from the Federal government. After all, it was President Obama who fought to provide financial aid to General Motors and prevented a collapse of the entire industry.

Karl Rove, the evil genius behind George Bush, says the ad “offended” him. He is upset that auto executives seek to claim they have the industry back on top. Ironically, Clint Eastwood only once voted for a Democrat for office. Of course, he angered some by saying he  wasn’t impressed by Mitt.

In the Conservative world, the sun only shines when a conservative Republican is president.

Iran And Israel-Race To Disaster?

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

There are moments when one wonders whether Israel or Iran will be the first to explode the Middle East into violence that will make any sort of peace impossible for decades to come.Iran’s clerics are filled with the spirit of  Mohamed, or at least their interpretation of what he would say or do, while Israel leaders just know that God is on their side. The Obama administration imposed even stricter economic sanctions on Iran in a last ditch effort to half the path toward nuclear weapons.  These restrictions were also intended to persaude the Israel government of PM Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid military strikes against Iran.

Israel leaders insist they must strike now or it will be too late to avoid preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon. The European Union announced it would ban import of oil  from Iran. US economic sanctions  are creating havoc to the Iranian economy. Iranian businessmen are facing economic ruin, Iranian money is less and less valuable, and shortages grow each day.

One is left with the conclusion that if clerics get their bomb, will they also get a collapsed economy? Israel may get their desire for military attacks on Iran and receive in return thousands of missiles aimed at Israeli cities. There are times in life when one gets what he desired and is less successful for it. This is one of those times!

There Is No GayTime In Uganda

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Christianity entered Africa during the nineteenth century and it brought into the lives of Africans some basic beliefs of missionaries, particulary in attitudes toward sexuality. Missionaries imposed strict rules on how to dress and how t5o conduct  sexual relations. During the past two decades, fundamentalist ministers from America have spread right wing anti-gay hysteria to many areas of East Africa.

Uganda has been swept for years by an anti-gay hysteria which borders on virulent hatred toward anyone who is a homosexual. A lawmaker has once again introduced to the Uganda parliament a law which has previously been condemned by the US government. A bill reintroduced by David Bahati, lacked the provision that homosexual acts could result in imposition of the death penalty. But, it would still make homosexual acts illegal.

Alas, we have the fruits of Missionaries of Hate in modern day Uganda. Why don’t American missionaries remain at home and simply join the Tea Party, sip some tea and cease drinking from the  well of hate?
