NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

We offer observations on the human condition from a 22 year  old mind trapped in an 82 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

We live with hope and die with pessimism.

It is neither the best nor worst of times.

Dad always caresses young daughter’s hair.

Some eat with serious look, it is only food not the fate of the world.

When mom sits she always places arm around shoulder of youngest child.

The last unknown will always remain unknown.

Sometimes it is best to forget.

In a group of women there is always one who is the shortest and pudgy.

Sometimes it is best to remember.

Three thin teenage girls, now or forever is the question.

Mystery of life: why do some wear dark glasses in a coffee shop?

I alone know who I am and am not.

To ignore human rights in the name of “security” is to ignore human rights.

I have never feared the truth of my life.

Some prefer the back to the front door of life.

If I am not proud of who I am, who will be?

Most take jacket off by first removing left arm.

I have white hair and women say, “hi,” dark hair and no comment.

Managers in fast food places slouch when walking.

Nothing more joyous than sun after rain.

Purchase four sodas and  price reduced, purchase one and it remains same. Capitalism in action.

I have never lied to anyone as to whether I would hire them.

Gun Deaths Take No Holiday

It was  just another day in the United States of America, a land which contains more weapons of mass destruction than any other on this planet. It was just another day in the United States of America whose leaders fear foreign terrorists seeking to kill innocent people. But, of course, they do live in mortal terror of American terrorists who belong to the infamous organization, the National Rifle Association. It was  just another day in the United States of America in which a little boy shot his friend with a BB gun leading to death. It was just another day in which a boy shot his friend with a rifle dad had left around the house. It was just another day in which three Marines were killed due to one of them shooting the others and then self.

It was just another day in the United States of America in which the father of a child who was shot in her elementary school blasted cowards in Congress who feared to impose any form of surveillance over who can own a weapon  of destruction.

It was just another day in the United States of America in which Death did not take a holiday.

Obama In Israel

The black dude has finally decided to visit Israel and has finally decided to please Republicans who insist that to be president of the United States of America one must spend time in Israel sucking up to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. After all, he once went to Egypt and gave a speech, but he did not rush  off to Israel. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was berated by Republican  senators because he did not believe an American official placed the interests of the US before those of Israel. After all, Mitt Romney visited Israel and pulled in millions from Israel conservatives who  insist that Americans owe their  primary allegiance to the nation of Israel.

Of course, the security of Israel is important. Of course there is need to prevent war in the Middle East and to work for peace. But, the primary responsibility of an American president is to the national interests of the USA. Frankly, visiting Israel will NOT further the cause of peace in the Middle East. Peace will come when Israel leaders acknowledge the rights of Palestinians and agree to compromises that enhance the cause of peace in the region.

Defend Toilets From Transgender Folk

Americans can sleep peacefully tonight knowing that the state of Arizona is  protecting our blessed freedoms against the hordes of transponders who seek to end the American way of life. Proposed legislation in that state would prevent any transgender person from using public facilities such as rest rooms or showers or dressing rooms to change a baby’s diaper. It appears that transgender folk have been pouring into toilets seeking to shit or piss, and thus threatening the lives and pissing ability of we normal folk.

The proposed legislation would allow police to check your birth certificate  in order to ensure that  you are pissing or shitting in the appropriate place. I find  fascinating that Republican conservatives oppose checking the background of  anyone purchasing a gun but have no problem checking for those seeking to piss!

Another John Boehner –NO!

The ongoing mantra uttered on Fox News and by every conservative pundit is refusal  by President Obama to cooperate with Republican leadership. He is portrayed as a man with scant ability to reach out and compromise with those of the opposing party. OK, two years ago he gave them whatever they wanted, including maintaining the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, and, in exchange he received continued unemployment pay for those desperately needing it. The president had to stand firm to get some reduction in  taxes for the wealthy.   So, what happens when President Obama offers a nice present to House Speaker, John Boehner?

The president asked Boehner to accompany Vice President Joe Biden to Rome to meet the new Pope. Mr. Boehner said, “no”because he was busy! Oh, he had to meet the new Irish ambassador to America. John will not agree to any request from  Obama because to do so makes him a traitor to the Tea Party. It is a hopeless mess in Washington when nut cases in the Tea Party control what transpires in the nation.

Liberals Create Jobs!

The ongoing complaint by Republicans is failure of liberal economics to create jobs in the United States of America. We now can offer concrete examples of how  being a liberal is more important than being a CEO when it comes to job creation. The city council in Copenhagen, Denmark, is investigating the possibility of importing cannabis from the states of Colorado and Washington which have legalized its use. Copenhagen deputy mayor Mikkel Warming said: “it will be important to work as quickly and effectively as possible, so we are looking abroad for where we can import cannabis.” He wants to check in with Colorado and Washington as to how the cannabis can be shipped to his nation.

Finally, job creation for Americans rather than Mexican drug lords. Imagine the potential if American state governments could legalize drugs and then sell them to other nations of the world. UP drugs, down unemployment!

Gay Time In Colorado

It  was just a few short years ago that the state of Colorado was firmly in the hands of decent conservative God fearing people, but today, the once solid state of Christianity has been seized by forces of the Devil himself. Colorado legislators passed laws allowing people to smoke a bit of pot, and now they have passed legislation that allows gay unions. Yesterday, no same-sex marriage and today, free love is the norm. Colorado’s law allows gay couples rights similar to marriagee, including parental rights. Naturally, Republicans opposed the new law.

Now, America understands why  the defeat of Mitt Romney was simply the first step toward the end of a Christian America. OK, so Mitt was a Mormon, which some Christians do not believe is the same as a Christian. But, in his heart Mitt understood we must stand fast against those forces seeking to end the American way of life.

What next? Free higher education for all Americans!!

Republicans Defend Democracy!

It increasingly is clear that American democracy is being battered by the forces of Islamist radicalism who have formed an alliance with LIBERAL DEMOCRATS! Thank God we have Republican patriots in Congress working to defend our right to kill any damn radical seeking to end the American way of death. Every Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to oppose a new law that requires anyone selling guns to be compelled to have his rights abused by being subjected to a background check. Senator Schumer knows full well that his law is designed to create a national registry as to who in America possesses a weapon. He wants to end our right-as Americans– to be able to blast to death anyone who threatens our lives.

The next step is sending FBI Cossacks bursting into our homes and seizing our beloved guns. First they came for our guns, next they will come for our daughters, and then they will come for our wives, and eventually, they will come for YOU!

Karzai, Not Taliban The Issue!

It is now common for President Hamid Karzai not to allow a day to go by without expressing some form of idiocy concerning the United States of America. New Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was in Afghanistan, but the president of the country refused to meet him due to unspecified “security issues.” Suicide bombers had struck a few days ago which provided Karzai an opportunity to express his anger and nonsense. “The bombs that were detonated in Kabul and Khost were not a show of force, they were serving America. It is their slogan for 2014, scaring us that if the US is not here our people will be eliminated.”

Hagel politely ignored the stupidity of the man he came to see. “He has his ways.” Hagel even had to express nonsense by feeling obligated to inform Karzai that the US was not working with the Taliban! Thousands of Americans have been killed and wounded to protect this incompetent bully and corrupt man.
