Monday Musings With The Crew

Tired of GOP debate analysis?  Heard enough about Megyn Kelly's menstrual cycle over the weekend?  You've come to the right place, let's dive into this week's edition of Monday Musings...

• The Kraft company is recalling 36,000 cases of individually wrapped slices of "cheese" after several customers reported choking on the plastic wrapping covering the slices.  SACSTW dispatched our ace field investigator to interview the customers, where it was determined they had actually choked on the "cheese". Officials with the FDA have demanded Kraft "make the cheese and the plastic taste different".

• Pope Francis marked the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing by referring to the atomic blast as "a permanent warning to humanity".  Indeed. 
  

• The one-year anniversay of Michael Brown's death was also marked this weekend.  Trevion Hobson had perhaps the most poignant and heartfelt tribute to Mr. Brown.  Police say the 17 year old attended the protest on the anniversary...and shot a fellow protestor.  If Barack had a son...

• As we noted on the SACSTW Facebook page this week,  Nathan Phifer went into a grocery store in the Houston area and proceeded to cache 3 bottles of wine in his pants.  He then went to the store bathroom and pounded 2 of the bottles.  On his way out of the store, Nathan grabbed up a handful of sushi and stuffed it down his pants as well.  Store personnel stopped him on the way out with the ill-booten gotty.  Frankly, I'm suspicious of this whole story.  Sahib hasn't used the "Nathan" alias in years.

•  Finally there is this.... Perennial SACSTW fave Kim Jong-un and his band of wacky henchmen are at it again.  North Korea has announced that on August 15th, every clock in the country will be set back 30 minutes to the newly decreed "Pyongyang Time".  Pyongyang Time is defined as 149 years, 364 days, 23 hours, and 30 minutes ahead of the standard of living of the North Korean people.  Long-time SACSTW readers take note....the Lachrymosity Level is
  

  now Orgasmic.

Monday Musings With The Crew

• Something is happening in Philadelphia that should terrify you to your very core.  Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has directed the Philadelphia Human Rights Commission to investigate Philadelphia Magazine.  You see, the magazine dared to publish an essay about race relations that was authored by a white journalist and that contained quotes and opinions from white citizens of Philadelphia.  Mayor Nutter called the piece "disgusting", and described the white citizens quoted in the article as "too cowardly" to use their names.  Here's my opinion.......Mayor Nutter is just one more in a long line of race-baiting progressives who will do anything it takes to shut white people up.  He is despicable, intellectually dishonest, and a threat to every freedom-loving American of any color.  Read the Philadelphia Magazine article here, and decide for yourself.

• Pew Research Center has released an interesting study of cable news outlets, comparing time spent reporting factual news vs time spent on opinion and commentary.  CNN led the way, spending 54% of its time reporting the news, and 46% opining about it.  Fox News was next, with 45% hard news and 55% opinion.  A distant third were the pyschopathic leftists at MSNBC, who spend 15% of their time reporting the news, and an astounding 85% of their time spewing filth about it.  Me? I think 15% sounds pretty high for MSNBC's actual news coverage.

• Barack Obama, the great centrist, has nominated a hard left radical to fill his Cabinet's empty slot at Labor.  Tom Perez is a dangerous man, and should be allowed nowhere near a presidential Cabinet post.  Senate Republicans must derail this nomination at any cost.  Read more about Mr. Perez and the Inspector General's report on his gross misdeed's while at the Dept. of Justice here.  

I'd give her a million bucks in taxpayer funds
just to go away....

• And then there's this......   The federal government has awarded a Harvard-associated hospital $1.5 million of Other People's Money (OPM) to research why lesbians are so fat.  According to the grant application, 75% of lesbians are obese.  Look, only one of two things can be happening here.  Either Rosie O'Donnell is just skewing the curve for everybody, or.....dare I suggest it.......maybe this is nothing more than the classic chicken and egg scenario.  

• Finally, in a remarkable example of typecasting, Barack Obama is apparently playing Satan in the current History Channel hit "The Bible".  The big baddie himself showed up in last night's episode, and the internet exploded with the amazing similarity the character had to Dear Leader.....here is Glenn Beck's tweet on the topic.......                  

Monday Musings With The Crew---Adios 2012

No dear readers, Sahib and I have not fallen over the fiscal cliff and taken our keyboards with us.  We've just been on a little holiday sabbatical, spending some time with friends and family.  Today, I'm sitting in my office watching the snow come down, and listening to clients calling in to cancel their appointments.  Ugh.  Anyway, on with the countdown.....

• Frankly, I am sick and tired of hearing the phrase "fiscal cliff".  I have news for you.....we went over the fiscal cliff a LONG time ago.  To be precise, we did a full gainer off the cliff on October 3, 2008, when then President George W. Bush signed the TARP bill into law.  The only question now is do we limp away from the landing with our tax rates and national security intact, or do we auger into the ground and have Dear Leader drop an anvil on our head a la Wile E. Coyote.  Reminds me of the old Norm McDonald joke......"there's only two kinds of cliff divers, world champions......and stuff on a rock"   

• As a young man growing up in Kansas, and then attending a land grant university (insert Silo Tech joke here), I am familiar with the old prank of "cow tipping".  What I didn't know is that the art has been perfected by our Russian comrades.....

• In what is surely a more accurate sign of impending doom than any Mayan calendar, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a baby.  Obviously the child will grow up to be a well-adjusted member of society, and make great contributions to the furthering of the human condition. We can only hope the little whippersnapper is smart enough not to donate any money to his daddy's charities... 

• Pennsylvania police have charged Benjamin Klinger with a multitude of charges stemming from the death of his 17 year old girlfriend in a car crash.  Police allege that Klinger intentionally crashed the car the two were riding in (at over 100 mph), and then sat on his injured girlfriend until she died of suffocation.  Senator Diane Feinstein immediately reacted by adding "the sitting position" to her upcoming weapons ban bill.  

• While we are on the topic of deadly weapons......how about the story of Franziska Hansen?  The 33 year old German woman is accused of attempting to murder her boyfriend during sex by suffocating him with her 38 DD breasts.  The boyfriend, Tim Schmidt, was able to escape the murderous confines of Franziska's cleavage, and ran naked to a neighbor's home to call police.  Schmidt claims that Hansen later admitted to him her intent, saying "I wanted your death to be as pleasurable as possible". We should all be so fortunate.....In response to this story,  the state of Massachusetts has asked Barney Frank to register his bad boys as potential deadly weapons...

• I don't know about you, but I am ready to kiss 2012 sayonara.  It was a crappy year for this country, for individual freedoms, personal responsibility, and most of the other things conservatives hold dear.  Chief Justice John Roberts lost his mind, the American electorate decided to vote for more handouts and less freedom, and the Kansas City Chiefs went 2-14.  Check please!

Breaking News- Democrat Leaders React To Reynolds Outrage

Earlier today I posted an article about Mel Reynolds, convicted sexual criminal and all around putz, throwing his hat into the ring for his old seat in Congress recently vacated by Jesse Jackson Jr.  I have spent the rest of today compiling a video montage of outrage expressed by various leading Democrats that such a man would dare to run under their party's banner........

SACSTW Reader's Brilliant Debate Analysis- Must Read!

So I sit down at my keyboard this morning to pound out some debate analysis.  I even got a draft done, full of SACSTW's usual snark and sarcasm.  Then I read something that Jill Miller, one of our great readers and frequent commenters, had written.  I was struck by Jill's insight into the mindset of the left, and immediately chucked my draft into the recycle bin.  Jill graciously gave me permission to share her brilliant analysis with the entire SACSTW community.  Enjoy.........

The Obama campaign was deeply rattled by the President's dismal performance in last week's debate.  The Dem assessment:  the President was too polite, not forceful enough, and allowed Romney to take command of the stage.  The plan: don't let that ever. happen. again.  [Note: they are always about style, not substance. Facts are subservient to The Narrative and The Intentions.]

The solution? Let Biden be Biden.  Bluster, filibuster, and wear his heart on his big veneered teeth sleeve.  Manners be ding-danged: interrupt whenever you can.  Plow over the top of whatever Ryan is trying to say, whether with physical reactions or a torrent of words.  Say something - anything - and put the LIberal Create-A-Fact (TM) stamp of approval on it: "and that. is. a. FACT!"(TM)

It appears to have worked on the liberal base, who think Joe won because he was more forceful and passionate.  This makes sense to them because, to the postmodern liberal, facts and outcomes are trumped by feelings and intentions.  But there remains a huge swath of people in this country who are in the middle - not devoutly conservative, yet not postmodern liberal either - and they were really put off by Biden's demeanor.  It's one thing for the guy on the street to bluster and wave his arms and laugh at his opponenet.  It's quite another for the guy who is one heartbeat away from the Oval Office to do it, particularly when he is the older, mature, experienced on doing it to a younger man.

The two political sides in this nation are deeply divided and you can get a good glimpse of the nature of that divide in the reaction to the debate.  

Conservatives see truth as objective and external, unchanged by point of view.  We value manners and ethics that calmly display an understanding of facts, and we value outcomes that produce a measurable result. 

Libs see truth as subjective and internal, varying with circumstance and situation.  They value emotion and "the heart", and judge by intentions rather than outcomes.

No wonder conservatives think Ryan won, and libs think Biden won.

- Jill Miller

There you have it folks.  Simply the best, most incisive analysis of last night's debate that you will find anywhere, by anyone.  Thanks again to Jill for allowing us to share her wisdom with everyone.  

~Awesome job Jill!  Great analysis.  Thanks for letting us post this.  *Sahib

Kilmeade Breaks Story On Obama's Poor Debate Performance

My favorite member of the Fox and Friends morning show, Brian Kilmeade, aired exclusive video of Barack Obama explaining his abysmal debate performance to Weezy this morning. Have a look.....
