Thoughts Out Of Season

Fox news is reporting the Egyptian President Morsy has been rendered unemployed by the Egyptian military. There are no reports of bloodshed at this time. Apparently Morsi's assertion that he would shed his very blood for "legitimacy"  was more bluff than promise. Developments are occurring with lighting speed.

It is reported that the Egyptian military is making good on its promise to ouster current president Morsy to the delight of millions of protesters throughout Egypt that refused to once again live under the yoke of a repressive government. Morsy and his gang of henchmen severely underestimated the Egyptian peoples willingness to knuckle under the rule of another repressive and backwards ruler. The military has surrounded key facilities including the compound where Morsy is said to be holed up in. The will of the people of Egypt is strong, their pride in their land is second to none, they are not a mob but an intellectual force that will sweep over Morsy and his supporters like a tsunami, ridding the land of those who wish to bring their country back to the dark ages. Good luck people of Egypt!

I want to wish the people of Egypt luck in their quest for freedom. Having shaken off the yoke which was President Mubarak they did not hesitate in getting rid of the current dictator who tried to place the even greater yoke of Islamic rule on this progressive and vastly intelligent and prideful people. I'm hoping that the bloodshed is kept to a minimum but the people of Egypt are a brave people who will settle for no less that what is right and honorable, no matter the consequences! So, from at least one American here is a good luck and Godspeed on your success.

Leaked NSA documents reveal that the United States bugged German phone calls and emails to the tune of half-billion a month. German lawmakers were speechless when they learned the breath and extent to which their privacy was invaded by one of their closest allies. I mean WTF is going on with this government?  On the one hand we have a Congress that's as useful as a pair of balls on a priest and on the other hand we have a US security agency working like dogs spying on our allies as if another D-Day was fast approaching. Has our damned government become schizophrenic? What in God's name is going on? Stay tuned ladies and gents because it looks like things are gonna get a lot worse before they get any better.

So tomorrow the interest rate on student loans jumps from 3.4 to 6.8% because the Do Nothing US Congress could not waken themselves from their self induced coma to pass legislation that would have halted the rise. I usually like to lampoon government officials and try to get my point across by trying to make them look ridiculous but I'm really starting to get concerned. Our government is not working, both literally and figuratively. Like a plane that moves to slow and thus stalls, our country appears to be doomed by a legislative inertia that will bring it crashing limply to the ground

It appears to the world that the only way to prosper in the US government is to be third rate, moronic, misogynist not to mention paranoid, avaricious and downright stupid. Look at the events of just the past week or so: A House of Representatives member tries to bolster arguments against abortion by revealing he has seen fetuses as young as 15 weeks performing "purposeful actions"while reviewing the ultrasounds of pregnant women. These purposeful actions? Masturbation! Never in US history has a Farm Bill been voted down. What is a Farm Bill? It's a welfare handout or, if you like, a bribe paid to US farmers to ensure they do what they do: Farm! And why was the bill killed? Because a group of Republican House members tried to include in it a provision to cut $20 billion from the Food Stamp program which helps the poor in getting food to eat. Republicans knew from the start that no Democrat would ever vote for such a provision thus sabotaging the bill from the star...

The European Union is terribly pissed following revelations that the United States bugged EU offices in the United States and monitored telephone calls throughout the EU. Now why the Hell would you eavesdrop on your allies? Prevent attacks? Unearth plots? Gain advantage for US businesses? Business? That's right folks! I bet a thousand-to-one this bugging and eavesdropping were done at the behest of American businesses looking to gain a competitive advantage over our European allies. What else could it be? This administration is going to have a lot of explaining to do in the coming weeks. From the killing of the Farm Bill to Bugging Our Friends, it looks like armature hour for the U.S. government.
