Thoughts Out Of Season

The United States has been verbally attacked by both sides of the Egyptian conflict, one side lamenting the fact that the US provides the Egyptian military with 1 billion dollars a year in aid and the other side pointing to Obama as backing Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood. The US appears bordering on schizophrenia in its response to the current crises that has plunged Egypt and its great people in turmoil. I will attempt to explain why this is such in my own way, as poor as the attempt may be. Obama's response has been to chastise the military for its seemingly heavy handedness in responding to the protests by Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood supporters but as he was democratically elected he must respond to the concerns of his constituents. And there is the problem. The American people are a politically lazy people whose thought and convictions are molded not by strenuous intellectual thought but by thirty second television sound bites and videos. Their lack of ability for any susta...

GOP Rep.Michael Burgess of Texas, USA has endorsed a proposed ban on late term abortions with the observation that he has seen fetuses as early as 15 weeks old pleasuring themselves in the womb on ultra sound exams of pregnant women (Mr. Burgess is also an MD). Oh Lord! As the great Harvey Korman eloquently put forth in the film Blazing Saddles " My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought, Careening through a cosmic vapor of invention". Just imagining the twist I could put on this makes me want to put my hands between my legs! But alas , I cannot. Why? Well just because I have no respect for politicians does not mean I do not fear them.Nor do I have much faith in their sense of humor. So what to do? I guess I will keep it real and say that this imbecile is further proof of the decline of the once great United States where morons are not only encouraged but actually get to lead!

A Heritage Foundation scholar ( an oxymoron if I ever heard one) was given his walking papers following outrage over his 2009 Phd dissertation that concluded that Hispanics have lower IQ's than do native whites (whatever that means). Jason Richwine went on to muse whether Hispanics would ever catch up to white people and whether the United States should consider such a notion when deciding who to let immigrate to the United States since, to paraphrase Mr. Richwine "If the parents are dumb than most likely their children will be dumb, only good for stealing our hubcaps and making our virtuous daughters pregnant". Now beside the fact that this knuckle dragging imbecile is just that, an imbecile, lets look at a few points that make this even more interesting: He used this dissertation to gain his Phd  not from "Joe's Phd and Toilet Supplies, Inc" or 'The College of Male Enhancement Studies" but from Harvard, the most admired and prestigious sites of...

Marco Rubio's blatant attempt to garner popularity and possible contribution dollars from the folks that bottle Poland Spring Water by awkwardly reaching for a bottle of the famed thirst quencher during his rebuttal of President Obama's State of the Union Address set off a firestorm of criticism today. An  Aquifina official was one of the first to respond " All he had to do was ask. We would have given him a liter bottle. Look, instead he tries  to make everyone believe he's quenching his thirst with what amounts to a urine specimen cup" smirked an Aqufina official who would not give his name due to the sensitive issue of the matter. A Deer Park water spokesman was heard to lament " Dear Park, what he drank wasn't good water". A Gatorade official, when asked to comment about the matter did nothing  except to blow cigar smoke in this reporter's face and laugh hysterically while holding his immense, rotund belly. Even New York City's Billionai...
