MONDAY MORNING RANT

November 10, 2014

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAJust read where president Obama wants to send ground troops to Iraq. Now you know he’s going to get blamed for escalation and all kinds of other stuff. So before I get going let me tell you History says stay the hell out of there. That part of the world has been in conflict since people started recording history. Now back to the point I’m sorry for all my relatives and friends who are going too pissed by what I say, but old George is responsible for a large part of this. Before we went there looking for weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist, the area had a balance of power. Iran was afraid of Sadam and spent most of its money on defense of its border with Iraq. After Sadam was run out the ensuing confusion as to who was in charge left Iran free to stop worrying about its border and concentrate on becoming the power they always wanted to be. The same can be said about recent events where Obama’s support of rebels in Syria and Libya contributed to the further destabilization of the area. As bad as all those tyrants were they, in reality posed no serious threat to the US. But there removal aloud for ISIS to come to the front and give the situation we now have. If it was at all possible at this time I’d say screw it and let them kill each other. But you and I both know that they will eventually go after Israel and she will use her nuclear weapons to defend herself thus ushering in the end of the world as we know it. Doesn’t look promising does it? Now if old George had just gone after Sadam in the first place with all our men and weapons it wouldn’t have taken ten years to kill him and maybe just maybe the world would be a little safer now.

A LITTLE SUNDAY STUFF

November 9, 2014

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHere’s some STUFF for a Sunday post first up I see Democrats running around trying to figure out why the voters didn’t come out in the midterms. Well that’s really pretty easy people are tired of sitting around watching The Congress and The Senate sit around with great health benefits and pensions doing nothing but blaming the other guy for nothing getting done. Next little bit of STUFF for those of you who know who Don Imus you might be interested in knowing that he put is New Mexico ranch up for sale. You remember the one that he runs as a charity for young Cancer patients and that he has a radiothon for every year. The one he bragged about that was funded so that it could go on after he was gone, well he lied. And finally I have a question concerning the Navy Seal that claims he shot Ben Ladin. If he took the Oath the Navy talks about is it strictly a moral one or is there legality involved and if it a legal binding one how come he’s running around looking for a book deal while Edward Snowden is living someplace in Moscow. Seems a little bit of double standard doesn’t it. Oh by the way I don’t think he did I think he’s just looking for a big payday. Well that’s it for Sunday morning Stuff this is Flounder saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia

STUFF FROM THE WEEK

November 7, 2014

stuffWell here it is Friday and let’s take a look at the stuff from the week shall we. First at the bottom of the post you will see the train setup Jeff is just about done building. He says he’s going to change the foliage on the trees he made and then that’s it. There was a story the other day about the Navy Seal that supposedly shot Ben Ladin. Both Jeff and I are a little surprised that this news would be allowed to be printed. If it’s true and this is the guy I hope he has some of the best bodyguards because he just became the biggest target for terrorists ever. The Republicans won control of the congress so now it’s put up or shut up for them. You guys already know how I feel about politics so we won’t comment further. Just so the American West doesn’t feel alone Brazil is facing a huge drought right now. There were several misspellings in headlines on Yahoo this morning must have been party night last night. And finally NASA has explained a photograph from the Mars Rover that resembled an Elongated head similar to those on Easter Island. Of course they explained it as an anomaly but we know better. Well that’s the Stuff from the week this is Flounder saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

SAME OLD SAME OLD

November 5, 2014

politics-word-cloudWell I’m sure a lot of people expect me to complain about the elections and maybe I am those who really know mw and Jeff Know. Jeff was a member of the Democratic Party back when he was in his twenties. He had been elected to the Democratic county committee in East Orange which meant he went to meetings and political rallies. He did this for his mother who needed him to do this so she would keep her job. Now the one thing he learned from this experience was that a politician would stab his own mother in the back to get elected and keep his position. He watched as best friends in the same party turned on each other so they could get a better position. This 6 year experience stopped him from voting for the next twenty years. When he returned to voting he was considered independent. He wasn’t interested in the corruption of politicians when he voted if he voted for a person he tried to pick the most honest one without worrying about whether they agreed on everything or not, mostly he voted on referendums. You know those little things that are listed separately on the ballot like open spaces, water protection Etc. looking at the results of yesterdays elections he saw no winner’s only losers. It makes no difference to him who is reelected if there’s not going o be some sort of reform that makes these idiots more accountable to the people that elected them. In other words when the minority or the majority seek to make changes it should be done with the best interest of the people, not special interest groups. I can see some extremists wanting to repeal Obama care and I don’t have a problem with that if they’re going to replace it with something better. But so far I haven’t seen anything that would suggest that. I wonder if the new member s of Congress will be smart enough to do something positive about the Climate before it’s too late. There are a lot of issues on the table that haven’t been addressed because either the Democrats or the Republicans seem too interested in making change. They’re more concerned about who’s in charge then actually accomplishing some good. It our opinion that all politicians lie and have stopped caring about the little guy. This is Flounder and Jeff saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

birth-controlSo Jeff read this article about Arizona censuring birth control form its biology text books and ha came up with a question. If religious conservatives are out there protesting against birth control and then try and get Roe vs Wade overturned and stop abortions how do they plan on handling all the kids that aren’t really wanted. Do they expect people to just stop fucking so the population won’t get out of hand or some infant will be left in an alleyway? Religious extremists one suffering from a large dose of intolerance make me crazy. First of all the Bibles and all other religious books were interpreted by a man not a God. In most cases the teachings in these books are here say rather than the actual writings of God. Man doesn’t have the resources to just go around and screw his brains out and then have women pop kids out. And another thing it was a man who said God was a man and that man got here first. I think they are right about the man part after all man has been fucking up ever since the beginning of life. But now we have people saying the Bible or other religious publication says abortion is wrong and I may not be a religious scholar but I don’t think it says anything of the kind. It does say something along the lines of go forth and prosper or something. But a man has said this is what the book means therefore this is what god says. I don’t think so actually on moral grounds there are better arguments that God doesn’t exist then they’re one that do. Now those of you that read this Blog on a regular basis know Jeff doesn’t believe in Religion but won’t discount a superior being. So he thinks he can look at this a little more independently than say a priest. Anyway how was that for a post Halloween blog? This is Flounder saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia
