Obama is an Islamic sympathizer

Yesterday in his traditional Easter address, Pres. Obama once again claimed that ISIS violence is based on a "distorted interpretation of Islam". 

Wrong. ISIS violence is based on the faithful interpretation of what's clearly stated in the Quran, and it's why so few of these mythical "moderate Muslims" we are told exist somewhere, are denouncing ISIS. They understand that their cult(religion) commands these things. And while they don't want to engage in the violence themselves, they sympathize with those who do. 

What is it they say about the relative worth between pictures and words?

My new favorite beer

Our local Pig has 18 kegs tapped now featuring locally brewed beers and other crafts. At a tasting this week, we discovered Einstok Arctic Berry Ale. Not usually a fan of flavored beers, but this is so subtle that it's quite enjoyable and we filled our growler with it.

The Einstok brewery is 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle and they use water from glacial ice for the beer. They infuse this seasonal brew with local bilberries, which I think is just what they call blueberries in Iceland.

If you haven't tried it, try it. wink emoticon

Ed's first-world problem #1,284

The list of problems associated with living in a first-world country has been well documented. I've discovered a new one and it has a name......"port rage", that raving fury you get when you try in vain to locate and match up all the charging and data cables with the devices to which they belong.

I have cables belonging to iPhone, Kindle, iPhone charging stick, iHome speaker, Chromebook, ext. hard-drive, and one or two others. They're all black with USB on one end and very similar ports on the other.

I'm going to get one of these charging stations and leave all cables plugged into it rather than stuffing them in a drawer. Does anybody have a recommendation for an useful universal charging station like this one?

Exit question: (naive because I know the answer) but if the tech exists to have wireless charging like we have wireless data, why doesn't every device feature both with universal compatibility among them?

A telling meme

I don't mean to offend the fairer gender, but if this is true, then it 'splains a lot regarding why these four countries are currently overrun by hostile Muslims, and Russia is not. 

If they weren't tagged as defense ministers, I'd have guessed they were the reunion committee for I Felta Thi sorority at Wellesley or Bryn Mawr. 

A dumb-ass American in North Korea

Am I the only one who finds this hilarious? 

Heh heh, this crybaby got busted trying to steal a propaganda banner from his hotel in North Korea, and after a 1-hour circus trial, got sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in the worst country in the whole world to do time in. 

His embarrassed parents would probably be working harder to get him back if he had taken his medicine like a man instead of a blubbering milksop.

When we see him again in 2031, he'll weigh like 105, suffer from scurvy, and won't have many teeth left, but at least he'll be a little tougher. 

           

Trevon learns a hard life lesson

Meet Trevon Johnson. He was killed by a homeowner while trying to rob her in her Miami home. He was remembered by a cousin as "having a future" and "he loved to learn".

Trevon died "learning" a very valuable lesson: sometimes homeowners don't appreciate being robbed.

Here's aspiring scholar Trevon Johnson before he learned that it's better to let the government rob citizens to pay for your upkeep rather than rob them yourself.

The discontented Syrian "refugees"

Heh heh heh, these dumb Syrian refugees are "threatening" to go home to Syria if their demands aren't met by German authorities. Apparently it's not enough to be given a warm bed to sleep in, food in your belly, and the peace and security with which a modern European country guarantees your life. 

No, they want TV's, better food, and larger per Diem payments. So they are sleeping outside to protest these horrible conditions and will return to Syria if their demands aren't met. Good grief, she sounds like a garden-variety American democrat base voter. ;-)

Go home, you miserable, thankless tramp! Nobody owes you anything.

 

Trash Panda

I borrowed this from a friend over on Facebook because it's rare that I LOL at anything.....I LOL'd at "trash panda"......hahahhaha!

GOP contemplates the unthinkable

This weekend Mitt Romney wouldn't rule out another run for the presidency "if the party drafted him" at the convention. Apparently if Trump wins the nomination with delegates, there's talk of a self-mutiny by which the desperate party leaders will throw out his candidacy and "draft" Romney to run against Hillary instead.

If something that bizarre happens, the GOP will be a dead party. Voters by the millions will walk out on that feckless party.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but then I'm not in the "anybody but Trump" scorched-Earth group either. And I can't say that I'd show up to vote for Romney again if the GOP installs him as the nominee over the objections of the base.

I abandoned the GOP back in 2006-7 when the bank and car-company bailouts took place, I'm certainly not going out of my way to obediently pull the handle for a milquetoast schlub like Romney.

Democrats aren't generally morning people

I voted this morning at about 7:15 and already the GOP sign-in rolls had names for like 3-4 pages, but the democrat sign-in book had maybe 4 names total. I realize Alabama is a red state, but judging by how many "blue dot in a red state" stickers I see, there are plenty of democrats running around.
 
Then I realized where they are.......still in bed. When you vote for a living there's no reason to get up before like 11:00.
