It is lonely waiting for a carry out order.

Hard physical labor is the cure to avoid hard times when elderly.

I arrived for a meeting and was all alone. A weird  feeling until someone else arrived.

Senior citizens at McDonald’s get smaller cups to go with lower price. Seems unfair.

To avoid taking a chance is to avoid taking a chance on something new.

Clive Palmer, who intends to build another Titanic is also committed to use money to control his government. He thunders against the CIA working with Green environmentalists in order to damage efforts to safe the environment. In Australia, the top 1% now control 12% of the nation’s wealth, and their goal is to attain the US rate where the top 1% control 18% of the wealth.

Oh, to inhabit a land in which money talks.

Not getting cooked?

Administration spokesperson Jay Carney insists there will be a” complete investigation in order to avoid making determinations about the conclusion of the investigation.” There is no question this is very clear, but rather confusing.

Leave a child alone for a few moments and she will find a way to play with her hands.

Money  problems lead to personal problems.

Some are born to greatness, others are born  to seek the Republican presidential nomination.

Some walk with measured steps, I don’t.

I never place  hands in back pockets, some do.

Mitt Romney reminds me of the little man atop a wedding cake.

The wealthier is one the more one whines how poor people take their money.

To be poor is to accept the life given and do the best one can.

Study people to know thyself.

Je crois, alors je suis, I think, therefore I am.

I suspect five men will  decide providing health care is a violation of freedom, but compelling seat belts in cars or car insurance is not.

My word is my bond, I am Depression born.

Like so many of immigrant stock, I exist as an American, the past is lost to me.

Our child lives in our adult mind.

Success is easy to handle, adversity compels heroism.

There are those seeking  riches of money and there are those seeking riches of heart.

1. “Avoid large concentration of blacks not known to you personally.

2. Stay out of black neighborhoods.

3.  Don’t attend events that attract black folk.

4.  Don’t act like a Good Samaritan if you see some black person in trouble.

I find his comments amusing. As a  Jewish child raised in the thirties it was common for many business establishments not to hire Jews because we smelled funny. Of course, it was common sense not to get close to Italians because they smelled of garlic. The National Review fired Derbyshire. Why? He is among the few conservatives who openly says what is in his heart.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

If you dislike certain behaviors don’t do them.

Legs stretched,  arms folded on chest, the man is declaiming about something with passion.

I prefer judging myself to others.

Someone wanted to whip people into line.

I guess we should not shout “bully” for their actions.

China, China Daily:  ”Official Missing After Debt Rumors”

The issue is whether we are discussing his or their debts.

I guess they are dragging due to all their puffing.

NO. I didn’t win the lottery!

I trust he is not going to take a dive.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Height in America translates into higher paying jobs.

If my napkin blows onto floor, I pick it up. I am Depression born.

Gazed at photo of students protesting, all obese. I guess marching for something enables them to march for themselves.

I wonder where the concept of a “baker’s dozen arose.?

I always have an internal debate on how many napkins to take.

I never hold a newspaper up to my face to read it.

Parents carry child on hips like their gorilla ancestors.

Trains convey mystery of a voyage, planes do not.

I usually stand when placing sweetener and milk in coffee.

We seek company of others to affirm our self.

I only read daily newspapers at home, in New York, it is on subway.

Nudity is never offensive, it is human.

Russia, Moscow Times:  ”Promote Love, Not Demonstrations”

Sound advice from Putin to the masses who prefer demonstrating to loving him.

China, China Daily:   “Woman Dies To Get Attendance Bonus”

I wonder if they give bonuses in Heaven.

Indonesia, Jakarta Post:  ”Investigate Cup Win”

The win or who won?

Look at the FACTS. The top one percent in this country ONLY possess 22% of its wealth. If there was any justice in the world, they would at least possess 95%. Those with wealth are not concerned about their own welfare, they daily think about ways in which they can assist those without. For example, they offer numerous positions as nannies. They shop at healthy food places in order to provide work for those into healthy food products. They send their children to elite private schools and thus create teaching jobs.

It is time Americans realized their enemy is the middle class which seeks more and more money from their financial superiors. End the tyranny of LIBERALISM- and you can do it by ENDING ANY TAXATION ON THOSE WITH WEALTH!!

Dwight Howard, star center for the Orlando Magic team told owners that he would only remain with the team if they fired his coach, Stan van Gundy. At a press conference,van Gundy told the world that he had been informed of this desire. As he talked, Howard came over, placed an arm around the coach’s body and smiled. The coach walked away after saying about his player: “I have been dealing with this all year. I knew it was true by people in our management, right from the top.”

The children have come to play, and the children run the show whether their names by LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony. Such is the bitter fruit of  capitalism. Selfish management —  selfish players.

Unfortunately, brainless Republicans don’t want to see a scientist’s brain.

USA, aol.  ’Joe The Plumber Rejected”

I guess he got flushed down the toilet.

New Zealand, New Zealand Herald:  ”Voters See Tories As Party Of Rich”

That’s why they are called, “Tories.”

UK, Guardian:  ”French Protest Over Oral Sex Poster”

Funeral Director Richard Kurtz, received the dead boy of Trayvon Martin and for some strange reason there were no signs the boy had been engaged in a  fight prior to death. According to Kurtz, it “just does not make any sense that he was in this type of scuffle or fight” as far as he could determine. Of course, Mr. Kurtz is black and we all know how blacks stick together in order to persecute white folk.

Republican Rep. Bobby Rush from the fair state of Mississippi was rather upset at this violation of Congressional rules. “The chair finds that the donning of a hood is not consistent with this rule. Members must remove their hoods or leave the floor.”

I am a bit confused. As I recall the fair state of Mississippi was once a major center of the Ku Klux Klan whose members went around with hoods over their heads as they gathered to hold a meeting in order to burn some dark skinned person. Was wearing the KKK hood against Congressional rules?

Joe’s real target is the African from Kenya who goes by the name of Barack Obama. Joe is certain the “birther issue” about Obama is a conspiracy “bigger than Watergate.”

First we allowed aliens to become president. Then we allowed them to pick our fruits, what next–they will rape our daughters!!

He is being charged by the French police with “aggravated organized procurement of prostitutes.” Prostitution is legal in France but organizing the process of supplying females to males is not Kosher. Dominique is rather confused about the entire situation.  He claims that he “never had the least awareness that the women he met could have been prostitutes.”

I guess this rather small chubby man is very attractive to women–that is, women who like short, chubby men.

Australia, Sydney Morning Herald:  ”David Jones Forced To Walk New Path”

I assume Davie Jones will walk the path of a plank.

Turkey, Hurriyet:  ”Release Student Jailed Over Scarf”

I assume the student was  jailed for self protection so she would not strangle herself.

Russia, Moscow Times:  ”Putin Critic Dies Of Heart Attack”

He must have listened to another Putin speech no the glories of himself.

Now that sums up the Republican Platform.

Sweden, Local:  ”Thief Steals Front Door”

He wanted to make certain he got into the house.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

To see through the eyes of a child is to see love.

To see through the eyes of an 80 year old is to see death.

Capitalist Credo:  I got it, you don’t, fuck you!

Christ preached the doctrine of, “I am my brother’s keeper.” Today, the Republican party preaches the doctrine of “I care about myself, you are on your own.”

Most women when rising from seat adjust their jeans.

Private life in America should be kept private.

I wonder where the concept of a dozen arose and why?

Know thyself and you will never lack the company of a good friend.

I have never worn a red shirt to work.

Most seek company of others to affirm their self.

We invoke God to justify actions which go against His teachings.

Some loving mothers rub hair of child as they talk with the child.

To be human is to worry about one’s Fate. Sorry, Fate does not worry.

Americans so enjoy reading about princes and princesses. I wonder why we had a Revolution.

Mystery of the Universe: What really do aliens think about Earthians?

We have countless studies which clearly show that those of African American background are halted by police at a significantly higher rate than is experienced by white teen boys and girls. Ask any black member of Congress who is male and he will recount events when he was halted and frisked by the police. One out of three black males between the ages of 18-26 has a criminal record. I wonder why?

When will Republicans begin to act like Americans?

Sweden, Local:  ”Teen Girls offer Jobs As Man Eaters”

I’ll have to suck on this one.

Norway, Norway Post:  ”Cashier Free Store Opens”

I trust it is also money free.

How else to describe the Republican race for a presidential candidate?

Australia, Sydney Morning Herald:  ”Bodies Found In Morgue”

Gee, what a strange place to find them.

USA, aol:  ”Private Protests Stir Action”

I wonder what they do when there are public protests?

I am a member of the Tea Party and we are sick and tired of all these people demanding “entitlements” like specially designed cabs which allow those in wheelchairs  to get into them. What’s so wrong with crawling into a cab?  OK ,their legs are not working, but they have hands and arms, so use them, for God’s sake and quit whimpering. Mr. Slayton notes that all of the 19,0o0 London cabs are accessible to those with handicaps.

If this Slayton guy doesn’t think America is a wonderful land, why not go to England and live among those who give special entitlements to everyone with a gripe in life!

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta argues a rationale for remaining. “We maintain those forces not only for the protection of South Korea, but also as force to indicate that the United States is going to maintain a military force in the Pacific.”

Great rhetoric, but nonsense. South Korea has an effective armed force, an effective air force and an adequate navy. There is no rationale for spending billions of dollars having US troops in the area. China has absolutely no interest in any war. The last time Chinese troops got involved in a war was over forty years ago. Cease living in the past, enter the 21st century.

By the way, why are there thousands of American troops in Europe? Against whom are they waiting to fight? Over which issue?

New Zealand, New Zealand Herald:  ”London Police Sent Horses To Rebecca Brooks”

How come Ruppert Murdoch never got any?

And, they don’t come from up above.

USA, NY Daily News:  ”Repay Federal  Money With Federal Money”

Now, you know how people get wealthy in this nation.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Humans need companions in life, I don’t.  I am my best companion.

All too often we cut the cake of life into very small pieces.

Sports provide magical moments that our daily lives do not.

It is difficult gazing into the mirror of our lives and seeing what is or who we are.

In any group which meets daily there is always one who is first on scene.

If an entertainer in America dies, sales of their work rises. I wonder if they collect their royalties in heaven.

Solutions to economic problems lie in our society, not in heaven.

In modern society we live with others but rarely with them in mind and spirit.

As husband and wife age, so does their relationship. Sometimes toward greater quality, but, alas, sometimes not.

Some check their gadget in the morning, I check my mind.

Children love to stand on chairs. It makes them larger in life.

Some read with an angry glare.

All too often, tomorrow arrives and we wish it was yesterday.

Some hold bottle by top, some by middle.

Oh, I forgot that grandpa worked in the coal mines. I assume from Rick’s view is my grandfather worked with his hands and lacked college education that removes the snob characteristic of me going to college.

I suggest that Rick Santorum get a job picking strawberries and forget about running for president. In 2016 he can present himself as the only non-snob candidate and the only one who has hands that reflect hard work.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

I feel a tinge of jealousy when they lay out goodies at the old folks table in the diner.

To bear a grudge is to become one.

Seek hate and you will become hateful.

Americans grow wider in body and shrink in minds.

Never respond to an unkind person by becoming unkind. If you do, then you have surrendered your mind to them.

I await Mitt Romney’s appearance as a singer on American Idol.

Whatever happened to Michele Bachmann?

Most Republicans have 19th century minds trapped in 21st century bodies.

I complain, but never whine.

Hurt feelings hurt the person with hurt feelings more than the person who caused the hurt feelings.

I prefer realm of reality to that of fantasy.

I order right away and never linger. It is not a task for Einstein.

I am always amazed at how few pregnant women I daily encounter.
