Two scoops and a bowl of Semtex

On Rush's show today, Islamic scholar Fareed Zakaria revealed that the Arabic word for "virgins" has been mistranslated and is actually the word for "raisins".

Hilariously, this has grave implications for the profession of suicide bombing. Good luck getting some moron to blow himself up on the promise of 72 raisins in heaven. Heh heh heh.

Thoughtless Americans inadvertently make me LOL

A friend of mine over on Facebook posted this today. Now not much amuses me, but this cracked me up. I LOL'd.

You know some of these kids look at the stupid crap we thoughtless Americans send them to make ourselves feel charitable and guilt-free as we sleep in safety and air conditioning and wake to $7 cups of coffee at Starbucks, and they think, what a bunch of a-holes!

Still, this is funny as heck.

Government bureaucrats......uugghh!!!

I'm doing a traffic study inside The Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville so I needed a security clearance/visitors pass to get on base.

At the visitor center the waiting room was totally empty, totally, so I walked up to a window and asked for help. The girl behind the otherwise empty bank of windows said I had to take a number from the kiosk in the lobby. I looked around dramatically and exclaimed "I'm the only one here."

Unimpressed, she pointed to the digital sign above her which read "Now Serving Visitor #59" and she asked, "Do you have number 59?"

Remembering my days in the Air Force and what wastes of space civilian worker drones are and how logic and sense are completely lost on them, I sauntered on over, pushed the button, and was rewarded with a slip of paper labeling me visitor #60.

I handed her the paper and she pushed some hidden button and the sign changed to "Now Serving Visitor #60".

She smirked at me as if she'd just taught me a lesson or something.

Jeb just can't get anybody to care about him

Jeb Bush criticized Trump for his tweet on Cinco de Mayo featuring a picture of himself eating a taco salad and the words, "I love Hispanics".

Bush thought it was racist in the same way as tweeting about watermelons with regards to blacks.

Wrong Jeb, taco salad isn't a racial stereotype the way watermelons are. Heck, every American eats Mexican food and beer to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Jeb is still sore that his doomed candidacy never got off the ground. Here's the boy who would be king approximating the number of chances in a million he'll ever hold elected office again.

Young nurse shark tired of swimmers' crap

Regular reader Dave sent this in......

Down in south Florida, according to onlookers, a bunch of swimmers were antagonizing a small nurse shark(adults can reach 11 feet but this one was 2 feet). Having had enough of their bullshit, the nurse shark bit a girl's arm and wouldn't let go, even after it was removed from the water and eventually died in the hands of paramedics. 

GOOD! I hate that the nurse shark died, but I'm tickled pink that he brought some pain to one of these idiots who kept messing with it. Here's hoping the bite wound gets infected.  

Obama decides to tilt at the Libyan windmill

So the Obama administration announced, along with other UNSC member nations, that we are ready to start re-arming the newly-recognized Libyan government to help it fight against ISIS. 

Shouldn't we stop to consider what happened in Iraq when we armed Iraqi forces to fight ISIS there two years ago? At the first sign of resistance, the highly US-trained Iraqis turned tail, discarded their uniforms, and ran away, leaving all those brand new state-of-the-art weapons for ISIS to fight with. 

I realize our defense contractors would welcome the extra business of arming yet another war, but what is the end game here? What will we do when Libyan forces join ISIS or simply decide not to fight? I'll bet Washington hasn't even considered such an eventuality any more than they considered the likelihood that the mythical Arab Spring was nothing but a blank check to ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood to take over country after country as we pulled the rugs out from under the current governments at the time. 

I wonder in '08 if Obama would have predicted that in 2016, Americans would still be dying in Iraq, Afghanistan, and probably soon Syria and Libya, for ideas of regional democracy that are nebulous at best?

Weather girl apparently too sexy for morning TV

             

I saw this story on the news this morning and I wondered, what kind of tiresome busy-body do you have to be to actually live-email a news show to complain about the dress of the weather chick?

Hey tedious KTLA viewers, maybe unlike you she has a life and just came directly from an all-night rave to do the weather just for you. So why don't you shut up, mind your own business or lack thereof, and just sit on your couches watching the idiot box while life passes you by, and when you feel the need to criticize the perfectly nice dress that somebody prettier than you is wearing, put the keyboard down, take a breath, then go dunk your head in the toilet.

I'm guessing the critiques came from a bunch of fat hausfraus who got jealous when their husbands suddenly looked up from the paper and Cheerios to watch the weather for a change. 

Idiots, I swear!!

80 year old grandmother defended her castle like a boss

Meet 80 year old Barb Moles. She was home with her husband John when she heard a commotion in the kitchen. She found John on the floor stabbed and beaten with a crowbar, and intruder Stephen Sheppard looking for prescription medications to steal.

Barb went to her room, grabbed her .38 pistol, and gave Sheppard an early introduction to his maker.

If Democrats have their way, Barb would be told to cower in a closet and hope for the best.

If more Americans exercised their 2nd amendment rights to self defense like Barb did, there would be far fewer home invasion crimes......either out of deterrence or a home owner-assisted shrinking supply of invaders.  ;-)

Caitlyn wants to be Bruce again

So I'm embarrassed to have to admit to reading ANYTHING at all on the over-promoted Kardashian tramps and their extended low-IQ clan, but as a former fan of Bruce Jenner, this caught my eye.

Apparently "Caitlyn" is regretting the gender transition (seriously, who could have predicted?) and might reverse-transition back to being Bruce because get this......he always has and still has a thing for women and wants to be married again.

So let me do the mental gymnastics to get this straight......the dude on the Wheaties box always dug chicks but had a fetish for being a chick, to the point that he became sort-of a chick, but now because "she" still digs chicks, quasi-lesbianism isn't an option(even though "she" is the current hood ornament for LGBTQ advocacy) but becoming a man again is?

So Bruce is either one of the most messed up guys ever(no doubt due to his proximity to the Kardashian train-wreck) or because nobody's watching his stupid reality show, his publicist told him a re-transition to "male" would get people interested in him for another year or two, and he can make money off that.

Good grief, what a country.

Liberalism in a nutshell

The America progressives dream about, in a nutshell. 

Start their unearned-entitlement expectations out early and by adulthood they are thoroughly indoctrinated in the ways of shiftlessness and indolence as a lifestyle.
