'Tis The Season

Great quote from The Old Sarge:

"I love Christ, but I hate Chri$tma$."

Amen.

And The Award Goes To:

Whoever can come up with a credible futuristic sci-fi story beginning with:
"After the disbanding of that miserably failed experiment known as the United Nations...."

Wrong Way Around

It looks like someone got the line of cause-and-effect backwards with this one.

From where the rest of us sit, it looks more like a belief in "climate change" is caused by mental illness.

Comments

Uh-oh.

The Old Sarge just took us to task for having the Comments unnecessarily limited. The problem has been fixed as of a few minutes ago. Sorry for any inconvenience.

How Do You Spot A Liberal?

It's simple. They're the ones who "believe in" UFOs, but don't "believe in" guns.

Interview Question

Remember how, in job interviews, the interviewer always winds up asking "Do you have any questions?"?

Try this one on for size. Next time she asks that, simply respond with: "What is your procedure for resolving personnel disputes, and what specific safeguards do you have in place for protecting the rights of those who might be falsely accused of wrongdoing?".

Try to keep a straight face while she squirms and stammers. ;-)

Sounds Like A Good Deal

The US gummint has threatened to withhold bribe money "economic aid" from Pakistan if Pakistan doesn't get with the program and start actually doing something about terrorists on the Afghan border. In retaliation, Pakistan threatens to pull its troops back from the border.

Let's see if we have this right: the US saves $800 million in bribe money and Pakistan moves its do-nothing troops away from the border.

Sounds like a win for the US taxpayers.

A Question

For all the "liberals", "Progressives", socialists, communists, Marxists and other statists:

Is there any aspect of life -- any aspect at all -- that you're willing to keep the government out of? Anything?

More Stupidity

As further proof our the depths of stupidity to which our society has sunk, one need only look at the way in which the apostrophe is now being mis-used. It's bad enough that hardly anyone knows how to use a hyphen or a comma anymore. But the ubiquitous use of "'s" to form a plural is getting to be a bit much. We recall seeing the "advice" some time back of "when it doubt, use it".

How about "when in doubt, find out"?

Nah, that's be too much for today's morons. Might cause 'em to feeeeeeel bad.

Right Idea, Wrong Place

So... Harry Reid wants to outlaw prostitution in Nevada. Not a bad idea, except he's starting in the wrong place. He should start in Washington, DC. In the government.

As Pres. Reagan so aptly pointed out: "They say that politics is the second-oldest profession. And it bears a strong resemblance to the first."

(Of course, this does beg the question: Prositution is a combination of sex and free enterprise. Which of the two does he oppose?)

This Is A Big Help

It seems the town of Roselle Park, NJ has passed an ordinance making it illegal to sleep in public. Per the Chief of Police, this is "to help assist the police in addressing the increasing problem of homeless people sleeping on benches".

Right. Because fining poor people and/or throwing them in jail is so much more efficacious than helping them find suitable shelter.

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." -- Anatole France


Rope. Tree. Bureaucrat. Some assembly required.

Indecision 2010

OK, so it's all over but the shouting.

You don't really think things are going to change much, do you?

Good. As long as we're clear on that.

As the late Paul Harvey used to say: "There's no use worrying. Nothing's going to come out all right."

Health Alert!

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a warning about a virulent new strain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectem. It's pronounced "Gonna re-elect 'em", and has terrible health consequences.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior involving putting one's cranium up one's rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008, but now most people -- after having been infected for the past 1-2 years -- are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.

It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectem is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. The first dose is available this year, with a follow-up booster available in 2012. Those afflicted with Gonorrhea Lectem are encouraged to not engage in such high-risk behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

Several states are already on top of this -- e.g., Virginia and New Jersey, and apparently now Massachusetts -- with many more seeing the writing on the wall.

Request widest dissemination of this important alert to anyone who is still capable of rational thought.

The Pigeons Come Home

Even though we normally read only linked excerpts of his columns, Victor Davis Hanson offers up an excellent analysis of the Democrats' current dilemma. After laying the blame for their failures on Bush, conservatives in general, the rich, Christians, and just about anyone else to the right of Karl Marx, they've finally gotten around to blaming The Empty Suit.

It's truly sad to watch this cannibalistic self-destruction, but to paraphrase The Iron Lady (Maggie Thatcher) the problem with liberalism is that after a while, you run out of other people to blame.

Being incapable of seeing the problem staring at them from the mirror, liberals would prefer to believe that the rest of us "just don't understand" their message. Heaven forfend that they might finally come to the conclusion that we do indeed understand their message -- we simply don't agree with it.

But then, liberalism was never about rational thinking anyway, so what do you expect?
