South Africa, Argus:  ”Don’t Feed Baboons”

That means  stay out of  Congress.

Australia, Sydney Morning Herald:  ”Lost And Found-$180 million”

That is what happens on Wall Street when they check petty cash draw.

France, Connexion:  ”Fight Over Fireman’s Beard”

This is one hot topic to discuss.

Saudi Arabia, Saudi Gazette: ” Nuclear Deal”

BOOM

USA, New York Post:  ”Pakistan Prime Minister To Dubai

At least that gets him out of trouble with military.

Netherlands, Dutch News:  ”Divorce  Rate Peaks In January”

I guess cold nights do not translate into hot bodies.

Czech Republic, Prague Post:  ”Expectant Mom Sues Government”

She thought it was a law that men had to impregnate wives.

“No question that Barack Obama billion dollar machine will organize the most vitriolic, spiteful campaign in American history.” An aide added, “they are going to spend and smear their way to the White House.”

I guess Barack Obama has a great teacher named Mitt Romney when it comes to conducting campaigns filled with a vitriolic and spiteful tone. Just ask Newt Gingrich if you disagree with the previous sentence.

Congressman John Boehner made clear “we must do better,” and Mitt Romney emphasized the “president’s policies have prevented a full recovery. I am certain if the rate drops to five percent, Mitt and Newt and John and Eric will argue that credit belongs to Republicans who claim anything and everything Barack does is wrong.

He believes Israel can take out all Iran nuclear facilities.”It is possible to strike all Iran’s facilities, and I say that out of my experience as IDF Chief of Staff.” Of course, it is  one thing to “strike” a facility and another to “destroy” a facility. American military leaders admitted they lack the  bombs to destroy nuclear facilities hidden in mountains, but to Israel that is making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Boom goes Israel, but, unfortunately, it can result in Boom On Israel!

A high school cheerleader was raped by a boy named Rakheem Bolton who pleaded guilty to the misdemeanour assault of  HS(the girl) and received two years of probation and community service.

Several months later the young man was playing in  basketball game and came to the foul line to shoot.

Cheerleaders rose to yell in support for the boy.

HS stood with folded arms and refuse to cheer.

The superintendent told HS to leave the gym because she was expected to cheer for the boy who raped her.

HS refused and was expelled from the cheerleader squad.

She sued on grounds of free speech.

Two lower courts said while in the position of cheerleader she acted as the “mouthpiece”of the school.

The Supreme Court upheld lower court decisions and said HS must pay $45,000 legal fees.

On which planet am I living? Who is this superintendent? Is winning a game more important than the emotions and feelings of an abused girl?

Bluntness is not a desired trait in America.

Sirus XM closed down The Village, the only station for lovers of folk music. Is this a message?

It is illegal on American television to have any panel lacking at least one black skinned person and one woman.

I possess a quirky mind that defies categorization.

The only path in life that has a certain end is the valley of death.

We are mental captives of our past.

Black is the favorite color of TV celebrities.

Pictures of most foods advertised taste better than the real foods.

I wonder if they have take-out in Heaven.

If at first you  do not succeed. Stop, maybe your idea is wrong!

Sun in late afternoon is not as hot as morning sun, but it sure blinds one.

I guess it all depends how one defines, “poor.” If you lack a job, that does not mean you are poor. If you cannot  make house payments, that does not mean you are poor. If you can’t pay for health care, that does not mean you are poor. The important thing is–do you carry Christ in your heart? If so, you can never be poor in spirit. OK, so maybe you are not so wealthy in paying the bills. But, you got Christ.

In most normal societies, the above is a description of rape, but not according to this court in Turkey. They concluded it was consensual sex because she did not resist or cry out for help!! In their view, no scream, no rape. The rapist was released from jail.

Oh the only female judge on the panel was absent on the day of this verdict!

Newt is miffed at the betrayal of Donald voting for Mitt. Mitt is beaming at the approval of Donald and most probably is now working furiously to secure the endorsement of the mouth that babbles in Minnesota– the Bachmann gal.

Alas, poor Newt, the ideas of February do not offer consolation as to your future.

“There is nothing horrible about a runoff” even though it might result in a “certain destabilization of the political situation.”After all, how could those counting ballots proceed if he does not get his normal 85%? It would destabilize the entire vote counting procedure if some opponent got more than 15% of the vote.

What next?  A  study reveals there is no Santa Claus? Of course, the ISI has been working with the Taliban, who doesn’t know this?

UK, Independent:  ”Always Conflict Between Us”

A statement concerning the Republican party.

This is not something to get pissed about.

Denmark, Copenhagen Post:  ”Child Allowances For Wealthy”

How can any family get along on a million a week?

Russia, Moscow Times:  ”Tallest Man Dead
This is one tall story

Probably a bunch of cheap drunken guys.

Kuwait, Kuwait Times:  ”This Is Unacceptable”

The New York Giants losing the Super Bowl.

South Africa, Argus:  ”Problem Child”

His name is spelled: N E W T  G I N G R I C H

Donald carefully combed his gorgeous hair and is ready to anoint Newt as the one who is not fired by the boss because  he is a boss man at heart. There is scant question that this endorsement guarantees Newt will garner the egotist vote in America.

Patience in foreign policy is often a virtue. Unfortunately, there are Israel leaders who  are ready to rush for a judgment when prudence might be the right course of  action.

There is no doubt her conviction was a fore gone conclusion once Viktor decided to abuse his former rival. Of course, here in America if we jailed those who signed the wrong bills, our jails would be filled with thousands of politicians. We have another system. We vote these people out of office so they can become lobbyists and make certain the next batch of politicians sign the wrong bills.

Viktor, is you sign the “wrong bill” which prison awaits your presence?

Let’s face reality. Why would the Taliban bother with Karzai when all they have to do is wait until 2014 when US forces leave and they can take over the entire government. The Taliban has patience, years of patience.

I somehow doubt if Medicare patients get the same meal option. But, this is the equal medical care system desired by Ron Paul. All receive equal treatment, but some get a little more equal.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Every child loves playing hide-and-seek.

I am my brother and sister’s keeper. If not me, who?

The only time I pray is during a New York  Giant football game.

It is a strange feeling when colleagues die and you remain alive to tell about the past.

New Rule: All TV programs must contain at least one black and one female.

Listening to a Republican”debate” is akin to listening to a lunatics who have taken over the asylum.

In life, prefer respect to love.

Short thin women walk with a confident stride.

The older one gets, the more images of youth appear in mind.

Fewer and fewer wealthy people think about poor other than at Xmas and

Thanksgiving.

Newt is a born again Christian of the Catholic persuasion, Ron Paul is a born again 17th century man, Mitt was born with a silver spoon in his mouth so there is no need to get born again, Sarah is a born again gold prospector in Alaska, Rick Santorum was born in the wrong century, Bachmann can’t figure out what one does after getting born, Rick Perry spends his time ready to shoot born again liberals, and Barack Obama got born again with a backbone.

Newt is furious at Mitt. As one of his underlings put it: “Romney has no character and he has  proved to be  disgraceful and despicable candidate.” And, by the way, Newt is upset because “Romney refused to allow Catholic hospitals to have conscience in their dealing with certain circumstances.”

I assume since Newt does not see any reason to support Mitt, he will throw his support to Barack!!

In Austria, Nazi oriented Freedom Party leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, believes attacks upon him have resulted in making pro-Nazi groups rather like other groups subject to persecution. “We are the new Jews” he declared to the people of Austria. At any moment an army of enemy troops will be marching into Austria and rounding up pro-Nazis in order to ship them to death camps. One of his associates claimed that “whoever works for this ball gets a yellow star pinned on him.”

I get confused. I thought people like Strache adored Adolf Hitler who never killed anyone, they just committed mass suicide. Just remember, make a nasty remark to Strache and you will get a Nazi armband wrapped around your arm.

A woman named Estorai repeatedly told relatives that her husband was upset due to her conceiving a girl rather than a male baby. Of course, she did not “conceive” the baby, it was a joint enterprise with her angry husband. After giving birth to a new little girl, the woman faced certain consequences. A neighbor found her body where it lay due to being strangled by the angry husband. Police discovered hubby and his mom jointly planned the murder of his wife so he could get another wife.

What if it turns out he can only pass on girl genes? Will his mom strangle him?

Russia fears more pressure on Assad is simply the first step in a UN sanctioned military venture to overthrow the Syrian ruler in a reprise of Libya and Muammar Gaddafi. There are new reports of army deserters fighting their former comrades in arms. However, these rebels lack sufficient weapons to overthrow Assad. Everyone with a sense of decency knows this petty tyrant has blood on his hands, The issue is whether or not others will get blood on their hands in order to overthrow him?

New Zealand, New Zealand Herald:  ”Prosecutor Shoots Self In Head”

SOCIALISM IN ACTION! What next, do not allow us use of shady accountants??

Finland, Sanomat:  ”Last Chance Saloon”

For Gingrich and Romney there is always another chance after the last chance.

France, Connexion:  ”Want To Be King For A Day”

I assume this is for those who have AIDS.

Netherlands, Dutch News:  ”Dutch Migration At New Levels”

I guess the dam burst again.

This is capitalism in action. Not only protect the wealthy, but make certain their children will get a good college education. As for middle class and poor children, you are on your own. After all, this is what capitalism is all about.

I await Republican denunciation of these steps toward SOCIALISM. It is the end of capitalism when employers are FORCED BY GOVERNMENT to give UNPAID LEAVE to employees for frivolous activities like caring for wounded veterans. Thank God we have real Americans like Sarah Palin to protect us against Foreigners like Barack Obama who want to destroy capitalism.

Rick Santorum is the kid brother who constantly tries to get  word in edgewise and is ignored so he finally found Jesus who will get him recognized.

Newt Gingrich is the uncle who believes himself clever and will ramble on about his latest brilliant idea.

Michele Bachmann is the kid sister who chats on and on.

Mitt Romney is the boy who believes himself the smartest one in the family and by God he wants all to know it.

Ron Paul is the nutty uncle with weird ideas.

Herman Cain is the cousin from whom one should never purchase one of his “bargains.”

Sarah Palin is the aunt who wants to boss everyone.

George Bush is the son one never talks about.

Rick Perry is the family macho man.

There is no question, President Bashar al-Assad will shortly up the volume of violence and begin to kill anyone who dares oppose his ideas. UK Prime Minister David Cameron is upset at Russia which is supporting Assad. “Russia can no longer explain blocking the UN and providing cover for the regime’s brutal suppression.” Frankly, there is no evidence the Arab Spring will spring up in Syria.
