- From the “Aw Crap” Department – Turkey’s parliament has voted to authorize military action against Syria if and when that countries civil war sloshes across the border again. Turkey is continuing to shell Syrian border areas today after Syria killed five people by shelling a Turkish village. Want to know how World War III might start in the same way that World War I did? How about a mutual defense pact that gets invoked when one of the parties gets drawn into the internal conflict of a third country? While we’re worrying about the antics of white trash on TV, the next major war may well be brewing.
- From the “Okey Dokey” Department – Former Vice-President Al Gore opined on his TV network today that President Obama didn’t do well in the debate last night because he wasn’t used to the thin air of Denver. He seems to think that since Governor Romney did his debate prep in Denver, then he was better prepared for the rigor of debating in the rarefied atmosphere of the Mile High City. My thoughts: First, Al Gore has a TV network? Seriously? Did someone need a tax shelter or something? Second, thank the Lord for the voters of Florida, who made sure that bloated sack of slaughterhouse waste didn’t become president. Friends and neighbors, we really dodged a bullet there. Last, if President Obama, a relatively young man in good physical condition, can’t handle a flight into Denver and then think clearly, do we really want his thumb on the nuclear button? He wasn’t being asked to run a marathon, he was asked to stand still and think and speak clearly. I guess when you’re watching the second coming of Jimmy Carter go down a well-worn primrose path to political oblivion, it’s easy to make excuses for why he’s skipping.
- From the “Only You Can Prevent Jihad” Department – The head of the FSB, the Russian follow-on agency to the KGB, is blaming a rash of forest fires in Europe on al Qaeda. Apparently now that their Yemeni/Saudi sugar daddy is on a new assignment as the favorite catamite in Beelzebub’s harem, they are mounting smaller operations to try to get the world’s attention. I’d suggest we burn down their countries in a show of reciprocal force, but to be honest, there probably isn’t much worth putting to the torch in the asscrack they seem to crawl out of. I look forward to the first time one of these firebugs shuffles off this mortal coil a tad early because his firebomb went off a tad early.
- From the “Free Range Luggage” Department – Two alligators were found recently in the parking lot of a grocery store in New York. No information on their origin has been given. My guess is that they were someone’s pet, since large reptiles don’t usually find their way to New York, unless you count Madonna. No word yet on whether the wayward gators actually made it to their Florida shelter, or if they are being used to re-surface the roof on Vinnie “The Shiv” Saltucci’s 1973 Lincoln.

/ October 5, 2012I heard Obama say he was off his game because “a different Romney” showed up for the debate — guess he was too busy bowing to all those foreign leaders to learn how to deal with different people.
