Fast food workers will whine their way right out of a job

To all you unskilled, minimum wage crybabies who're demanding that the fast-food franchise owners who generously employee you, pay you far more than your worth to their business, meet your inevitable replacement.

This is McDonald's prototype robotic cashier. It's more efficient, makes no mistakes, has a good attitude, and unlike you, works tirelessly.

Eventually you'll be sitting at home collecting undeserved checks from the government while this machine does what used to be your job. Enjoy your dependency.

US, too little too late regarding ISIL in Iraq

The US returned to Iraq in a big way yesterday as Obama authorized the Air Force to attack ISIL positions near US troops stationed in the north east region of the country. But there's only so much you can do from 20,000 feet up. At some point, even though he pledged not to, Obama will have to put troops back in Iraq to kill the ISIL network. It will be an open-ended engagement and the US will expend still more blood and treasure fighting a guerrilla war against a determined and well-armed ideological opponent, in a country we should have never invaded in the first place. At least that's my prediction. War has a way of taking on a life of its own and making decisions for you.

As a scary aside, I've heard reports that many sympathetic men of Arabic descent who attend European schools and live in European cities and even some Americans have joined ISIL to fight in Iraq. When that's done, they can return to their own countries and the US because they hold travel credentials already, and are not on any no-fly list because we don't know who they are. We could be looking ahead to scores of Boston marathons and Ft. Hoods in the coming months or years.

Either way, letting ISIL get this far dug in before acting against them was a huge mistake and there isn't a poistive outcome that I can see.

The unintended, but foreseeable, consequences of US meddling in the third world

So everyone is asking, what is the west going to do now that full-throttle ethnic cleansing and mass slaughter of ethnic and religious minorities is taking place at the hands of ISIS in Iraq? ISIS has isolated thousands of Kurds and Yazidis in the waterless mountains of Iraq with the threat of slaughter if they return.

My answer: what are we supposed to do, re-invade Iraq? It's our fault this is taking place. Such business never took place under Saddam Hussein. Sure, different atrocities took place, but on a scale that the US could live with, ignore, and still sleep nights. But no, we just had to depose Saddam, pretending it was for humanitarian reasons rather than the actual reasons; to finish what Bush '41 started and to give the American people some revenge satisfaction, even though misplaced, for 9/11.

Like it or not, Iraqis were much better off with Saddam than they've been without him. Turns out replacing a primitive, barbaric dictatorship with a sophisticated and complicated brand of democracy isn't just a simple matter of decapitating the government as neocons in the US would have us believe when they sold the idea to us.

Libya is now the Somalia of north Africa and Iraq is the Somalia of the middle east.....all thanks to the US's "R2P" doctrine.......Responsibility to Protect. Our well-meaning leaders believe that all they have to do when civilians are in trouble in some remote shit-hole is kill the government and everything will be honkey-dory. As we've seen in Libya, now Iraq, and soon Afghanistan, that is not the case.

I would support dropping pallets of food and water to these isolated people, but nothing more.

They have no respect for Obama in Moscow

Obama's conspicuous lack of qualifications, experience, or seriousness inspires mockery and ridicule in places other than the US. On his birthday earlier this month, creative youths in Russia projected this laser-light show onto the US embassy in Moscow, of Obama fellating a banana. Heh heh.

Some peckerhead over at MSNBC suggested it was racist because of Obama being half-black and the banana, but somebody fellating a banana is practically a cliche' as far as fellatio jokes go and as such, transcends any race component. Now if he were fellating a watermelon that would clearly be racist, but the black guy with the banana is a stretch in terms of calling it racism.

            

Media get ratings by stoking fear among the stupid

Just read an MSN report which ominously warned, "Tattoo inks can cause infections".

Perhaps the hysterical headline writers over at MSN haven't heard of the "Germ theory of disease causation" developed in the mid 16th Century. Ink doesn't cause infections, bacteria, viruses, fungi, or prions cause infections.

Millions of dumb Americans who were taught recycling in school instead of actual science, will only read the headline because that's all their attention spans will allow, and they will be irrationally fearful of tattoos now because they think the ink itself is dangerous. I don't know who are more deserving of my contempt, the irresponsible media or the willfully ignorant drones who accept whatever they're fed by them.

America's diplomacy hood ornaments.....not very impressive

Obama's two elections were appalling enough, but having to regard gigolo John Kerry as the foreign policy figure-head of the most intimidating, powerful nation on Earth is just asking too much. I'm sure when the Russians see these pics, Putin'll be quaking in his boots.

Obama looks ridiculous enough as it is, heck PeeWee Herman's more manly on his bike. But look at Kerry.....a pink girl's bike, no helmet, and sandals. He's just an idiot all the way around.....in foreign policy and bicycling.

The age of hope and change not working out so well for the coal miners who endorsed it

To paraphrase The Duke, "Life is tough when you're a coal miner, it's even tougher when you're stupid too."

The head of the national coal miner's union was arrested over the weekend, protesting what was the stated end result of his own endorsement of an adolescent environmentalist for President.......the bankruptcy of the US coal industry.

They weren't tricked. Obama told them he would do this and they endorsed him anyway.

The rank-and-file union members who're losing their entire way of life ought to ask the leaders what they were thinking when they endorsed Obama, if not this? Oh, and what they did with the dues that were forcibly extracted from their paychecks?

             

This cartoon pretty much sums up the Obama administration's approach to the Hamas/Israel business.

And the one below pretty much sums up the Hamas approach to the war. Not sure if it's real, though I can't imagine why else you'd hand a couple of kids on a fence, but the point is that it's eminently believable.

Illegal alien commits murder, Obama yawns

Hispanic illegal aliens, killing graduate students that Americans won't kill.

Andrew Garcia, 18; Alberto Ochoa, 17; Alejandra Guerrero, 16, and Jonathan DelCarmen attacked USC engineering grad. student Xinran Ji with a baseball bat, for no apparent reason as he walked home from a study group at about 12:45 in the morning. He died in his dorm room of head wounds a few hours later.

I don't mean to engage in ethnic profiling here, but I detect a pattern in the names of these cold-blooded murderers. DelCarmen, the primary attacker, is an illegal alien whose been running wild in the US for 7 years. If the feckless bureaucrats over at ICE or INS had just pretended to be doing their jobs, Mr. Ji would still be alive today.

Pretend Hispanic Geraldo Rivera (real name Jerry Rivers), likes to dismiss the illegal alien aspect of these crimes, by saying it's a teen-wilding problem not an alien problem, or it's a drunk driving problem, not an alien problem, or it's an urban blight and unemployment problem, not an MS-13 problem. But the fact remains, but for them being here illegally and nobody lifting a finger to apprehend them and send them home, the murders, drunk-driving fatalities, and gang violence would not have happened by THOSE aliens. Maybe by some others, but not THOSE aliens. 

Public Service Announcement re: the fire challenge

Teens do the stupidest things to get attention on You-Tube. There's the cinnamon challenge where you try to swallow a heaping table-spoon full and try not to choke or puke. It's rather harmless and quite funny to watch, but here's the latest challenge. You pour a flame accelerant on part of your body and light it on fire. Most kids use alcohol which burns away really fast, but it's still FIRE!

These idiots are getting second and third degree burns on their bodies.

Parents, if you cannot honestly state with certainty that your kid is not stupid enough to attempt the fire challenge, then you are a horrible person and parent for raising such a moron.
