Monday Musings With The Crew

Well, it's been another fun-filled week here in the United States of SecondTermica.

• Apparently flu season is in full swing around the nation, and some of the 57 states are reporting vaccine shortages.  Outgoing SecState Hillary Clinton has ripped the admnistration for the vaccine shortage, saying "They're more interested in tax cuts for the rich than for flu shots for everyone who needs them".  SecState nominee John Kerry chimed in, blasting the President by saying "If you can't get flu vaccines to Americans, how are you going to protect them against bioterrorism?  If you can't get flu vaccines to Americans, what kind of health care program are you running?".   Oh, wait a second.  Those quotes from Clinton and Kerry were from 2004, blaming the Bush Administration for flu vaccine shortages.  Sorry, my bad.  

• The crazy was running on high in my home state of Missouri last week.....   Paul Potter of Kirksville was charged with murdering a man and setting a fire to cover the crime.  Witnesses in the public housing development in Kirksville reported Potter throwing objects at them.  The objects were later identified as the detached arms of Potter's victim.  No word yet on how he managed to stab his victim to death and dismember him with an AR-15.  Wait, wait, wait,  now I'm being told that no guns were used in the commission of this crime!  Well then, move along folks, nothing to see here.  Please be sure to duck as the severed limbs whirl overhead.

Ya know, maybe these Sharia moonbats are
finally on to something.....

• Interesting developments in the Aceh province of Indonesia.  Sharia law was introduced to Aceh in 2009, and a new regulation based on Islamic law is being introduced.  Women will no longer be allowed to straddle motorcycles as that position accentuates a woman's curves.  Sidesaddle only ladies!  I'm sure this can somehow be traced back to the Republican's war on women.

• What the heck was Jodie Foster talking about??

• Didn't the Denver Broncos win an overtime playoff game last season with Tim Tebow at quarterback?  

• Here is my New Year's plea to all the lefty statists out there......Can we all just put our cards on the table?  Quit hiding behind bans of high-capacity magazines, Evil Black Rifles, smoking in bars, 32 oz sodas, blah blah blah.  I would have more respect for you if you would just come clean and tell the truth.  You want to ban private ownership of firearms, ban tobacco products, ban sugar, etc etc.  Then we can have a real nuts and bolts battle for the soul of this country.  Unfortunately, liberal tyrants are masters of incrementalism, gradually eroding both our liberty and the document that sustains it, slowly bleeding the personal responsibility from our collective pysche until we have no recourse other than to grovel at their feet for whatever pittance they deem us to deserve.  Yeah, I'm talking about you Mayor Bloomberg.  

• Do you know who Louie Giglio is?  I learned of his story in the past few days, thanks to our brilliant reader Jill.  Check back here tomorrow to read more about the latest escalation of Obama's remarkable hypocrisy.  

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!

Conservative vs. Lib Dichotomy

This is what conservatives proudly display:

Star Spangled Banner over Fort McHenry

This is what libs proudly display:

George W. Bush head on HBO's Game of Thrones

Any questions?

Can you imagine the cataclysmic outrage if this had been Dear Leader Obama? 

Happy Flag Day everyone!
