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.

Democrats Love Vermin!

No, I'm not referring to the president...

Leading Democrat candidate Vermin Love Supreme

Apparently, Hillary, Creepy Uncle Joe, and Commander Kerry are not the only Democrat presidential candidate retreads who are running or are considering running for president.  Sahib and Crew favorite Vermin Love Supreme is throwing his boot, err hat, into the ring.  (He has the boot to this day!)

Running on a platform of a free pony for every American, time-travel research, mandatory dental hygiene, and zombie power, Mr. Supreme appears to be one of the more lucid candidates running for the Democrat nomination.  As he perfectly illustrates in the video below of a debate from his 2012 presidential run.

Of course when these are your choices...

This guy doesn't seem so bad...

However; I must disagree with Mr. Supreme on one point.  Given the moral bankruptcy of the Democrat party, he may be Vermin, but he is hardly Supreme.

The Campaign Speech I Would Love to Hear...

Sahib gets a new job!

OK, maybe I don't have a new job but I would like to offer my humble talents to any conservative candidate who wants a straight from the hip, no nonsense, campaign speech writer.

So as the corner undocumented pharmacist always says to prospective clients with a pharmacological preference (practicing up on my PC lingo, don't want to be accused of micro-aggressions), the first taste is free.  Here is a campaign speech I would love to hear:

My fellow Americans.  I stand here today humbled at the opportunity to possibly follow in the footsteps of such great American heroes as Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Reagan.  A prospect I take with the utmost gravity. As such, my first speech as a candidate will be filled with promises.  (Wait for audience skeptical response)  I know, I know.  A politician making promises.  I can already hear the jokes.  But wait there is more!  It will be filled with honesty as well.  Brutal honesty.  And yes, my lips will be moving throughout this speech.  So buckle in.  Here goes.

I promise that I will never apologize for offending anyone.  If I meant to offend you, then I am not sorry.  I meant to offend you.  If I didn't intend on offending you, then I am not sorry.  I did not intend on offending you.  If you were offended anyway, that is your problem, not mine. (I am working on a more detailed treatise on the perpetually offended. Look for it soon.)

If elected, I promise that I will occasionally lie to you.  For instance; when Iran inevitably reneges on the current nuclear deal, I am sure I will be asked about a possible military response.  I will lie.  "Of course we have no plans to coordinate with Israel concerning the complete obliteration of all Iranian nuclear facilities. How silly of you to ask!  And it definitely will not be happening next Tuesday!"

Unlike some of my predecessors, however; I promise I will never lie to forward my political agenda or to push through legislation that forwards said agenda.  There will be no more of the legislative "Don't ask, don't tell" you have to pass the bill before you can read it.

I promise to take the Alexandrian approach to the regulatory knot that my predecessor has created. Federal departments and agencies will be on notice as of day one of my presidency that regulations are going to be slashed. The EPA, HHS, IRS, and ICE in particular will be under the microscope.

All judicial appointees, particularly those to the Supreme Court, will be vetted not on their political views but to their adherence to the Constitution of the United State of America.

The tolerance of illegal immigration ends today.  We are a nation of laws.  Unlike previous administrations, my presidency will make following those laws a priority.  All laws regarding immigration will be enforced.

I realize that everyone may not agree with my political stances.  That is the beauty of our political system.  You don't have to.  If you don't like what I have to say, guess what?  Don't vote for me.

I really hope you all have enjoyed your first peek into what my presidency will be like. There will much more to come in the weeks and months ahead.  God bless you all and God bless the United States of America!

I will be waiting for the phone to ring...

Monday Musings

One of our many hallowed traditions here at SACSTW is Monday Musings with the Crew.  Let's face it, Mondays suck...so I try to gather up a few little nuggets of blazing insanity from over the weekend to get your week off to a good start.  Let's dive right in..

•  In what can only be described as the ultimate indictment of the left, Debbie Wasserman Schulz is still the chairman of the Democrat National Committee.  She had an interesting weekend on the talk show circuit, as first Tingles Matthews and then Chuck Todd asked her to explain the difference between a Democrat (Hillary Clinton) and a Socialist (Bernie Sanders). She ignored the question, instead "focusing" on the difference between Democrats and Republicans....

the difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats want to make sure that people have the opportunity to climb the ladder of success and reach the middle class--
Debbie Wasserman Schulz 

          

           What DWS failed to mention is that the ladder of success can be climbed in both directions.  

           Her party is most interested in helping people reach the middle class by climbing DOWN that

           ladder. One of SACSTW's intrepid field reporters caught up with Ms. Wasserman Schulz to 

           ask her to elaborate..

          

• On Wednesday of this week, doctors at the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine will fit a chicken named Cecily with a $2,500 prosthetic leg.  Cecily's owner is paying for the procedure out of pocket.  Seems reasonable, after all you don't eat a great chicken like Cecily all at once.

• No matter how bad your weekend was, it was likely better than Colin Corkhill's.  The 26 year old Arizona man was jailed over the weekend on a number of charges.  He is now hospitalized after pulling his right eyeball out with his fingers in the jail.  Interestingly, all the TVs in the jail were tuned to MSNBC at the time of the ocular extraction.  Been there my friend...

• Looks like Piers Morgan, Michael Bloomberg, Barack Obama and the rest of the gun control

  

  FYI, Amy is in the foreground

  whackadoodles can stand down.  Over the weekend, actress Amy Schumer made this comment about gun violence..."don't worry, I'm on it.  You'll see."  Schumer's movie Trainwreck was playing in the Louisiana theater that John Houser shot up last month.  She is also the star of something called "Inside Amy Schumer".  Uh, no thanks.

• For all of us here at SACSTW, I'd like to say...Run Joe, Run!

Cecil the Lion Was A Democrat!

Cecil the lion was a Democrat, and it killed him.  More precisely, male African lions are the Occupy Wall Street types of the animal kingdom.  They lay around most of the day drawing crowds of gawkers, but never really contributing anything to the advancement of the species other than a little sperm.  OK, a lot of sperm...but I digress.

Regal in appearance but indolent at heart, male lions would prefer to lounge around the Serengeti than get up off their ass and run down a wildebeest.  Remind you of anyone?


 Like the Occupy crowd, male lions sponge off the work of others, in their case female lions.  Lionesses do the majority of the hunting for a pride of lions, then defer to the male who eats first from the kill.  Hang on....Mrs. Crew is telling me dinner is ready.

Ok, I'm back.   Why the treatise on lion behavior you ask?  Unless you have just teleported on to this rock from the third ring of Saturn, you have heard about Cecil the lion.  By the way...it is "ses-uhl", not "see-suhl".  Cecil was evidently the most beloved and well known lion in his home country of Zimbabwe, living a life of leisure and torpidity on a local game preserve.

Enter Walter Palmer, DDS.  Palmer, a Minnesota dentist, paid $55,000 for a lion hunt in early July that resulted in Cecil getting whacked.  Most reports indicate that the professional hunter hired by Palmer and one other coaxed Cecil off the game preserve by dragging a dead animal behind a vehicle as a lure.  Palmer then shot Cecil with a bow, wounding him.  The hunting party tracked Cecil for 40 hours before he was ultimately dispatched with a gunshot from the professional hunter.

When news of  Cecil's demise leaked out, the world exploded.  Twitter feeds were choked with angry animal lovers, many calling for the death of Dr. Palmer. Jimmy Kimmel broke down on national TV. Facebook timelines filled up with pictures of Cecil, celebrities stopped pimping the Iran deal and started caterwauling about "Justice for Cecil". Dr. Palmer's dental practice was shuttered, and he has gone into hiding.  Trespassers (some call them protestors) have spent the week littering Dr. Palmer's property with death threats and memorials to Cecil.  These two moonbats dressed as lions going on a "dentist hunt"....

On a side note, I wonder how the cows whose skins cover the car seats of these two idiots feel?  Seriously, cows have got to get a better marketing department.  But I digress, again...

With apologies to Edgar Wallace, twas liberalism that killed the beast.  Had Cecil been a rock-ribbed, self sufficient conservative apex predator (like say, Sahib and the Crew), he would have been out working hard to support his family when the nefarious Dr. Palmer came calling.  Instead, liberalism had taught him dependency, and he fell victim to the siren song of an easy meal.

We can learn a lot from Cecil's unfortunate demise...

• Liberalism kills, be it in the Zimbabwean jungle or the asphalt jungle of the United States

• Initiative, ambition, and self-reliance will serve you better than sloth, handouts, and welfare

• Never trust anyone from Minnesota.  This has been one of my personal mantras since the voters there sent this guy to the United States Senate....
  

P.S.- the Senator is the one with only one banana

Millions upon millions of ethical hunters do more for the conservation of game species in one day than all the stuffed animal memorials and "dentist hunts" will ever do.  That said, if Dr. Palmer and the others involved violated the game laws of Zimbabwe (and it appears they did), they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  But please, let's not make this out to be the crime of the century.

After all, it's not like Dr. Palmer was out there chopping up babies into little salable bits.

The Boys Are Back In Town!

 

Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice!

 Like the swallows to Capistrano and MacArthur to the Philippines, Sahib and the Crew have returned to the blogosphere!  It is a time of great jubilation amongst the masses, unless of course you are...

1. A liberal pantywaist
2. A progressive moonbat
3. Barack Obama
4. Hillary Clinton
5. utterly devoid of humor 
6. easily offended

Yes, it has been a long time folks...for crying out loud the Kansas City Royals have played in a World Series since the last time you heard from us! Sahib and I have been comfortably ensconced in The Home for Retired Bloggers for over a year now, watching the world spin by in all its glorious delirium. We can sit idly watching no longer. Fear not gentle reader, for Sahib and the Crew have girded their loins and stepped once more into the breech!


Editor's note:  I'd like to make it perfectly clear that all loins were girded individually, there was no mutual girding.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
