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.

Depends on how you define, “education.”

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.

Security Guards Save America From Terrorist!!

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

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.

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?

Dominique Straussed Out Over Maid

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

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.

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?

Kansas Opposes Islamic Law!!

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

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!

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??
