Thursday afternoon wrap-up

Victorian posy of pansiesThe perpetual motion machine is going and I find it easiest to watch movies while marooned on my backside. I’ll adjust, though, and soon start thinking harder and writing more. Until then….

This must be a record. I’m citing to The Onion twice in one day. But this satirical article about gays and being first at some thing is too funny to miss.

No, it’s not your imagination. The European Union is planning on seizing everybody’s money and dealing it out equally. Just remember, as George Orwell said, that some animals are more equal than others. In other words, not only will the seizure be highway robbery, but the redistribution will be highly in equitable.

Here is a cute human interest story out of Yemen: the most popular singer in Yemen is an Israeli Jew whose parents escaped from that country when the Muslim government kick them out.

One of the things I’ve tried to bring to people’s attention on the “real me” Facebook is the fact that if Obama, as chief executive officer, can do whatever the hell he wants with the laws, so can any subsequent president. Of course, if they were not afraid to speak the truth, my liberal friends would respond that this new approach to governance is appropriate only if the subsequent president is black or gay or female or Hispanic or maybe, just maybe Asian. And of course, the president would have to be Democrat. If the next president is a white man or any kind of Republican, be assured the old rules will still apply.
