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.”

Listening to Stalin talk?

Mitt DumbThen And Now!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Fred Stopsky | Leave a comment

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.

Germans Baffled By US Opposing Healthcare!!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Fred Stopsky | Leave a comment

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

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Fred Stopsky | Leave a comment

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?

Gay Not Right In Virginia!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Fred Stopsky | Leave a comment

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

Posted on May 15, 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

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?

Farewell Ron

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Fred Stopsky | Leave a comment

Ron Paul has suspended his quest for the presidency of the United States of America. At least he has ended visits to states where he explains how resorting to 15th century economic theory will end the current recession in America. I realize that millions of Americans are devout believers in 15th century economics and are fervently dedicated to the proposition that if wealthy folk could get all the money in the nation, they would share that wealth with those lacking money. Of course, that does not mean actually sharing wealth, it does mean you can eat gobs of macaroni.

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!

Fruits Of Syrian Violence In Lebanon

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Fred Stopsky | Leave a comment

Refusal by President Bashar al-Assad to work for a compromise solution that would lead to peace and democracy in his nation is currently the source of new violence in the region. Assad is a member of the Alawite sect which has fundamental religious differences with Sunnis who constitute the majority of inhabitants of Syria. The conflict is now spreading to other areas of the region. Violence has erupted in Lebanon which also contains Sunni and Alawite Muslims.

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 Of Sunnybrook Farm Is Upset!

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Fred Stopsky | Leave a comment

Rebekah Brooks is a sweet, attractive woman who has used her brains and beauty in order to climb the steps of power. She was a chief executive of News of the World and encouraged its employees to “get the story regardless of cost.” OK, so maybe they sometimes stepped across the line of legality, but they did get the story. OK, so maybe they hacked into phones of people, but who was actually damaged by having their words broadcast to the world??

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??
