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!

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.

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.

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??

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?

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.

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

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?

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!

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

Some might claim that Ron Paul only cares about wealthy people. That is not exactly  correct. He NEVER said the top one percent should get ALL the money, he always insisted at least one percent of our wealth should wind up in the hands of the 99%. He has always been a fervent supporter of soup kitchens run by the Salvation  Army. He has always supported begging on street corners. Ron believes in people and if they beg enough , they eventually will have money to open their own business and become a job creator!

The city of Tripoli is now witnessing fighting between Sunni and Alawite factions with five dead and over a hundred wounded. This is exactly what Assad desires, more violence, more countries brought into the conflict, more confusion and more deaths. He can only retain power if people die. He can only keep his  position as president if there is turmoil. Chaos is his weapon and the more chaos the greater his ability to claim that by remaining in office he alone can prevent even greater chaos.

Rebekah is being charged by the government with hiding evidence, and conspiring to thwart the law. She insists  to never having done anything wrong or illegal–at least according to her definition of these words. Prosecutors claim there is “sufficient evidence   for there to be a realistic prospect of  conviction.” Of course, those are words uttered by SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS AND THOSE WHO HATE GOD. How can any member of the Murdoch team be guilty of anything wrong. They always obeyed the Boss. Is that in itself not sufficient evidence of their innocence??

UK, Guardian:  ”Greek Talks Grind On”

Sounds Greek to me.

Russia,Moscow Times:  ”Putin Calls Of US Trip”

He is busy smashing up protests in Russia.

Turkey,Hurriyet:  ”Pakistan-We Didn’t Shelter  Osama”

Not enough is your complaint.

Australia, Sydney Morning Herald:  ”Just Don’t Wake Me”

If Romney wins, wait at least four years.

New Zealand, New Zealand Herald:  ”Not Personally Opposed To Gay Marriage”

It’s just when men marry that I get upset.

USA, New York Daily News:   “Fight For Right To Strip”

I guess she wants to get down to the bare bones of the issues.

Denmark, Copenhagen Post:  ”Apple For The  Teacher”

Since there are no pay raises at least she has something to eat.

Gee, that clears things up given that the Romney family used to practice polygamy which entails one man with several women. His grandfather escaped to Mexico so he could have more than one woman as his wife. If polygamy is evil that means Mitt  was born in evil and thus must serve the purposes of the Devil, himself!!

Scott responded: “well, we’re going to start in a couple of weeks” our campaign to achieve your desires. “The first step we’re going to deal with is collective bargaining for all public employees” and that will be accomplished by a “divide and conquer campaign.” Mr. Walker claims to lack any  recollection of what he said.

Instead of peace, the EU seeks acceleration of settlement construction, evictions and demolitions  and evictions of Palestinians. Instead of peace there is constant violence–not by Palestinians under the Palestinian Authority, but settlers who “threaten to  make a two state solution impossible.”

Netanyahu once again denounces such presentation of reality as biased against Jews and not in accordance with “realities on the ground.” As one who has been termed a “self hating Jew” because I seek peace for ALL in the Middle East, the Israel government has met the enemy, and he is them!

He goes by the name of Lord’s Resistance Army and his goals are somewhat ambiguous unless one believes God seeks to have humans rape, murder and mutilate. An ambush set up by Uganda troops in the Central African Republic caught number four honcho in the LRA, Caesar Acellam. Naturally, the captured man was unaware as to what the LRA does  for a living.

Will they catch Joseph Kony? Who knows, I guess only God knows for certain.

War is hell. Carrying out 9,600 missions which result in 72 civilian deaths is a miracle, not a sign of savage behavior. Gaddafi placed many of his military facilities within urban areas which made it impossible to wipe them out without some deaths to civilians. Gaddafi is gone. Libya is in chaos as the victors fight over spoils of war. The only criminals from the rebellion are among those who now run the nation–for their own benefit and power!

“I can tell you though, that the majority of the Taliban and the Taliban leadership want a broad based government for all Afghan people and an Islamic system like other Islamic countries.” And the way to achieve that goal is: (a) release captured Taliban soldiers, (b) take the names of Talibans off list of terrorists, and (c) accept the Taliban as a political party.”

Sounds fairly achievable. Of course, what is meant by “Islamic law?” There is a world of difference between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

The unknown is an opportunity, never turn down exploring it.

Sincerity in the cause of hate is rather insincere.

Athletes hug and kiss one another, friends on meeting do likewise, but if gays duo it…. the world will collapse.

Some stride with certainty, I just stride.

Question: If fast food employees eat the food is that a good or a bad sign?

Some must take the last sip before existing.

I never use a straw.God doesn’t use one, so why should I?

I do not flip pages when eating.

Listening is truly a lost art in American colleges.

We learn by doing or not doing.

If you want to know Mitt’s view, just tell him what you believe in, he will find a way to agree with you.

In entering a shop some take off sunglasses while others flip them to top of head. I am of the latter persuasion.

Morning silence is more somber than evening silence.

We are concerned since the United States has millions of Republicans and members of the Tea Party. If you think dinosaurs produced a lot of hot air, just imagine the enormous quantities produced by Republicans and Tea Party folk? Imagine the daily out put of Newt Gingrich alone! We believe there is need for new legislation that will limit hot air comments by any Republican seeking office.

PROTECT THE PLANET, LIMIT REPUBLICAN HOT AIR EMISSION!!!

US Chief CEOs ONLY received raises of about 15%! Their average pay in 2011 was ONLY $5.8 million! How in God’s name can an executive get along on ONLY five million? This is analogous to the North Korean government which sends people to gulags. Obama is waging war against those who create and wants to take their money and distribute it to welfare cheats and drug addicts. OK, so CEO folk gave out 3.2% raises at a time when inflation was 2.7%. But, this means they gave at least a ONE PERCENT RAISE of THEIR MONEY to those who work for them!

Obama wants to destroy free enterprise and the first step is driving CEOs to poverty. First they came for the CEO, then they came for the Wall Street brokers,and then they came FOR YOU!

Currently, about 98% of the GDP of Afghanistan derives from outside economic and military assistance. US aid alone the past year was $15.7 billion. This means thousands of jobs are connected to foreign aid or military forces. Once American troops leave they also leave with jobs and money and leave behind        women groups that lack financial support to continue aiding females.

Yes, we leave behind a small group of wealthy Afghans, but the vast majority need our financial support. American political leaders are cutting government expenditures, and if they cut Afghan support, we can witness the return to power of the Taliban.

Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah boasted that his group was prepared for war with Israel and that “the days when we fled and they did not are over.” Most probably, Hezbollah has thousands of missiles which can reach Israel. Logic would argue it is in the self-interest of Israel to negotiate peace with the Palestinian Authority. Once that agreement is in place, Hezbollah will not merely be confronting Israel, it will be confronting Muslims who seek peace.

It is in Israel’s self interest to help forge a Middle Eastern Union modeled on that of the European Union. Such an organization will bring peace and stability to the region. Once in place, Israelis-Jews and Muslims–can have the peace they desire.

One teenage white girl even provided police with information including the DNA of her rapist, but the Crown Prosecutor did not seek an indictment. Labor MP, Ann Cryer, who has been livid at this brutalization of females exploded in anger: “This is an absolute scandal. They were petrified of being called racist and so reverted to the default of political correctness.”

Finally, the gang was arrested and several of its members sent to jail. Chief Constable Steve Heyword commented: “At the time we did what we thought was best. We have learnt a lot of lessons.” Number one being, behave like policeman who protect the victim, not the rapist!

France, Connexion:  ”Mice Filmed In Store”

I want to know if they pay for the cheese!

Canada, Toronto Star:  ”Apologize For Bogus Degree”

I guess that applies to all who attend  U. of Phoenix and Lindenwood University.

USA, aol:  ”Four Kids Strapped On Hood”

I guess Mitt felt sorry for the dog and decided to  let the kids go on high.

Toronto Star:  ”I Will Quit Politics”

I can assure readers this  comment did not come from Newt Gingrich.

China, China Daily:  ”Cable Car Sex Warning”

Sex only allowed when standing up.

Indonesia, Jakarta Post:  ”Cross Dressing Doctor Punished”

From now on he dresses like a nurse.

Ireland, Independent:  ”Testicle Display”

At least I know if balls are being displayed, Mitt Romney has none to display!

Finally, the Pro-NRW held aloft cartoons which depict the Prophet Muhammad. That set the stage of rocks and bottles to be thrown by Salafists–wh0 threw in stabbing a few policemen.  Shouts of “Deport Them” and “Death to Infidels” went on and on. Eventually, the square was emptied of these empty people.

Each group believes fervently it possesses the TRUTH. Each believes it alone knows what is best for Germany. Each seeks a world that is PURE and devoid of contamination by those deemed inferior. Each is a non-factor in German political life but each wants to prove they can gather attention.

In reality, neither group could fill a football stadium with supporters. Neither will ever gain power. We wonder if these folk ever considered to form an alliance and create a NONSENSE party?

Yes, Egyptians actually believe Sharia law will result in a more prosperous nation. Of course, 10% of Egyptians are Coptic Christians, but, what the heck, they also should follow the Muslim religion if they want to be saved. Egypt contains millions of young people who cannot find jobs that match educational levels. However, if fellow Egptians have their way, no job,  but plenty of time in a mosque will lead to happiness.

The colonel does not distinguish between “Muslims” and “terrorists.” In his view, Muslim=Terrorist. Islam has declared war on the United States of America and to fight them it requires “taking war to a civilian population whoever necessary” since we are engaged in a “direct philosophical and ideological confrontation with Islam.”For some unknown reason top officers asked this illiterate to teach a course to officers on how to deal with terrorism.

Oh, they finally have fired the colonel.
