Monday Musings With The Crew


Yeah Homer, I know.  Mondays are tough.  At least you can count on another edition of Monday Musings With The Crew to lift your spirits and get your week off to a good start!  Here we go......
  • Maybe all this talk about the United States losing its role as world leader and example for other countries was a little premature.  After all, France has followed the American model by electing a Socialist president, Francois Hollande, to replace the more conservative Nikolas Sarkozy.  Voter anger over "austerity measures" in Europe fueled the election of the first leftist in France since Mitterand left office in 1995.   Note to reader-  when you read the phrase "austerity measures", just think "desperate attempts to keep Europe from complete and total financial devastation and societal de-evolution".  The French electorate has just said "Screw that, let's get back to spending Other People's Money!".  Party on Francois!

Cast, flex, reel in.  Cast , flex, reel in....
  • More good news from the head of state milieu.....Our old buddy Vladimir Putin has taken the oath of office for a new 6 year term as Russia's President.  Let's review....Putin became President in 2000, was term limited out in 2008.  At that time he became Prime Minister and his lapdog Dmitry Medvedev became "President".  What was Vlad's first official act as President Redux?  He nominated Medvedev to serve as his Prime Minister.  Isn't that cozy?  Seems like I remember reading some predictions about this somewhere.....
  • From the "if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it" department...... A man exposed himself inside an office in Bucks County, PA last week.  We here at SACSTW don't usually comment on willy-waggers, typically we prefer more refined, sophisticated content.  However, this particular dingus-dangler very nearly committed the perfect, victimless crime.  He exposed himself inside the offices of the Bucks County Association for the Blind.  Unfortunately for our hero, the offices of the Association for the Blind are staffed by people who are not, in fact, blind.  I think when and if this desperado is finally caught, he should sue the association for misrepresentation!
  • In what I believe is the 3rd sign of the Apocalypse, Saturday Night Live had a funny skit this weekend.  Host Eli Manning did a parody of Big Brothers that was worth a look...
