Olmert: Partition Jerusalem!

Former Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert unfortunately became involved in several illegal activities which compelled his resignation. During his concluding months in office, Olmert worked for peace with Palestinians and creation of a viable two  state solution. Unfortunately, at that time President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority blew an opportunity for two states. The arrival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has crushed any effort to peace.

Olmert spoke about the need to  partition Jerusalem in order to respect the rights of Palestinians. He argues it is too late to create a unified Jerusalem. “No Israel government since 1967 bass done even a smidgen  of what was needed in order to unify the city in practical terms.” Insistence on an “Israel Jerusalem” leads only to ‘tragedy” in the words of Olmert.

It is time to recognize that Jerusalem belongs to three religions, and establish a governance process that recognizes the importance of all to have a voice in how the city is governed.

Rubio Rants Ridiculous Ideas

Marco Rubio is a young Republican senator from the great state of Florida and he, undoubtedly, would like to find himself running for the vice-presidency of this nation. He ranted to a group of right wing haters that Barack Obama has been a divisive figure. “We have not seen such divisive figure in  modern American history over the last three and one half years.” Gee, I guess Rubio believes George Bush united the nation and certainly made at least five thousand American families enjoy a funeral.

One can never underestimate the historic ignorance of Republicans. Has Rubio  ever studied the Vietnam war when thousands marched on Washington to protest Nixon policies in Vietnam? Has he ever seen Martin Luther King speaking before hundreds of thousands in Washington D.C. Talk about a “divisive figure,” who else but King!!

It’s Boom Time In Syria

It was quite common in many Middle Eastern media outlets to hail those blowing themselves up as heroes of liberation. A suicide bomber who entered an Israel restaurant and killed innocent folk was viewed as a martyr. A suicide bomber who blew up his car in Baghdad and killed dozens of innocent Muslims was simply giving all he could in the cause of getting rid of evil folk. During the past few weeks, suicide bombers began operating in Syria. A bomber blew up his car in a military compound killing seven and wounding over a hundred.

Suicide bombing invariably results in death of the innocent. Today, your enemy was an Israel Jew, tomorrow your enemy is a Muslim. Murder of the innocent is murder regardless of how it is explained away. Assad murders the innocent with weapons of war, murdering supporters of Assad only means innocent people who are in the wrong place at the wrong time will die.

Putin Seeks Heir!

Vladimir Putin was trained in how to operate a government by those believers in democracy at the KGB. It is not surprising that he appointed a man with absolutely no experience in government, no experience in politics, but gobs of experience in beating up people. Igor Kholmansskikh, a factory worker who offered to round up some thugs, come to Moscow, and beat the hell out of protesters, was given a new job–envoy to the Urals Federal District. President Putin  assured Igor, “you will be able to defend people interests.”

Igor assured the president, “I will not let you down.” Of course, this means he will not let down his guard against trouble makers who shout about things like –democracy! Where the heck did any decent hard working person get the idea one is allowed to vote out of office those in office? Reports are circulating that Igor will bring along to the job some iron batons and a few gas grenades. One never knows when a protester must be protected against protesting.

HEADLINES FROM WORLD PRESS

Each day we offer samples of headlines that appeared in the world press along with our comments.

Sweden, Local:  ”Bikini Gets Penis Rising”

Are you surprised?

Denmark,Copenhagen Post:  ”Politician For All Seasons”

Well, I’n glad American politicians all agree we should have all seasons.

New Zealand, New Zealand Herald:  ”Obese Cat Dies”

Meow!

NY Daily News: “I’m Terrified Of Women”

And, my name is not John Edwards.

Finland, Sanomat:  ”Historic Meeting”

Mitt Romney met a homeless person.

Norway, Norway Post:  ”Free Birth Control”

In the words of Romney, that means, ABSTAIN!

In Saudi Arabia any knowledge of democracy is forbidden.

Closing Of The American Mind

American society contains millions of people who devote hours of their lives sharing important information concerning what they ate today, the clothes they wore, or a picture of their child doing something–anything. This center of trivia is known by the name of -FACEBOOK.  It is a communication process by which Americans can exchange absolutely the most unimportant information under the illusion they are “sharing” with others.
Face Book eliminates body language, it ends the necessity to actually respond to another when they make a good point, and it ends intellectual exchange of ideas and information. Perhaps, the current crop of individuals who sought the Republican nomination are living proof that something negative has happened to the American mind. In olden days, a bunch of Irish politicians, none of whom got through high school, offered as candidates for president–Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. Instead, we now have Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Mitt and Newt and Rick and Rick and Michele.

The current Congress of the United States and the current crop of presidential candidates are living proof there is no such thing as –evolution. Frankly, any ape in the jungle could do a more intelligent job of guiding America than Mitt. And, frankly, Face Book has played a role in the closing of the American mind to intelligent dialogue.

Say It Ain’t So, Joe!

Joe Ricketts is a rather wealthy man who intends to protect his money from such mundane  ideas like higher taxes. After all, if he pays one percent more in taxes, how can he afford to send his grandchildren to private schools where they will not have to deal with black skinned or Hispanic kids? Joe was preparing to use his Super Pac as part of a campaign that would portray the foreign born Muslim as a “metrosexual, black, Abe Lincoln” who has been mentally controlled by Christian black Liberation Minister,Rev. Jeremiah Wright in order to destroy white folks.

Gee, even Mitt Romney said no to this madness. “I repudiate that effort.” But, I am left somewhat confused. Why would a Muslim be under the mental influence of a Christian minister??

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

we offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Constipation constipates life.

Many young people believe if “eventually”they apologize, it is an apology.

I assume in Heaven there are no money problems. As least, I hope!

Body language is more important than sending a quick email message.

If we eventually get electric cars will we argue about who first gets the outlet?

Mystery of life:  Car parked at Day Center on Sunday.

Mystery of life:  Selling bottles of water next to the water fountain.

She sits at table with two women, obligation to smile.

Feeling of pride witnessing your child’s maturity.

Sign of stupidity:  ”I know.”

Mystery of life: How did Neanderthals handle a tooth ache?

To observe true human condition is to observe one’s self.

“Job Creators”in 2012 seek to create new jobs for their robot workers.

Some gaze straight ahead an ignore those on the sidelines of society.

JOE RICKETT’S PLAN TO SMEAR OBAMA!

Billionaire Joe Ricketts is developing a smear campaign that will be used to defeat Barack Obama. He is willing to spend over $20 million-or whatever is needed– in order to prove Barack is a “metrosexual, black, Abe Lincoln.” I assume by being linked with Abraham Lincoln, this means Obama wants to seize private property and financially wipe out honest decent God fearing slave owners of what belongs to them!! First, they came for our slaves, next they came for our homes, then they came for our virgin daughters, and next they came for our church!

Ricketts wants to make  Americans understand that Barack Hussein Obama is linked to Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the theory of  black liberation. I get confused by Ricketts. First, he claims Barack Obama is a Muslim, next he claims Obama is influenced by a  Christian minister. Oh, I get it. Black Christian ministers are working with al-Qaeda to destroy America and create a Christian — Muslim nation!

Deaths In Afghanistan

The group of British and Afghan troops were working to reduce opportunities for Taliban forces to continue their aggressive actions in Helmand, an area in the south of Afghanistan. Suddenly, without any provocation, two Afghan soldiers, Sarah Mohammed and Sardre Ali cocked their rifles, Sarah killed two NATO troops and was killed by others in the group while Ali escaped. It was just another day in Afghanistan, it was just another example that Taliban forces have seriously infiltrated the Afghan army.

What can be done? Frankly, not much. Afghan leaders will issue promises to “tighten up screening,” but infiltrations will continue. There are too many people in Afghanistan who don’t like the Karzai government and even more who want ALL foreigners to leave their country. Most probably, that WILL be the end result.
