Everyone Is Entitled To My Opinion

One good thing about the War in Libya is people are forgetting about our $trillion-dollar failures in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A not-so-good thing is that it seems the Libyan rebels are in full retreat losing even more ground than they gained in their revolution.  Ghadafi doesn’t even need his crushed air force to beat this sad group of “freedom fighters”.

Remember a little over two weeks ago when Obama was in Brazil and said a ‘military option was not on the table‘? He lied.  We now know covert military plans were being drawn to launch the no-fly zone as the lies dripped from his mouth.

Now Obama says we will send no troops to Libya.  He’s lying again.  Here’s how it will happen: we’ll send tens of thousands of troops to act only as “advisors” to the rebels.  Of course they will be fully-armed and some will be killed.  And then we’ll launch a full-scale troop invasion to protect our own people and help the rebels.

How do you feel about all of this America?  Oh, never mind.  The power structure doesn’t care in the least about your opinion.

They sew.

President Obama is going to address the nation tomorrow on the War in Libya or, as it’s now called, Iraq #3.  If he loses his voice between now and then, the White House plans to run George W’s old “Why We’re In Iraq” tape.  If that breaks, there’s still his old, “Why We’re in Afghanistan” recording or Obama’s “Why We’re Escalating in Afghanistan” video.  If all the video machines crash, we can set up a movie projector and play LBJ’s  “Why We’re in Vietnam” talk or the Nixon box office smash, “Why We’re Escalating in Cambodia”.

It doesn’t really matter what they play because the endings are all pretty much the same.

Have you ever heard, “Oh – that’s the oldest joke in the world”?  Recently when I heard it, I wondered what was the oldest joke in the world?  It wasn’t too hard to find and your Uncle Freddy didn’t say it for the first time at that drunken family reunion in the ‘60’s.

Researchers pretty much agree that the first recorded joke came from Suma in what is now southern Iraq around 1900 BC.  And, as Howard Stern could have told you, it was a one-liner about flatulence (passing wind).  Ready for the translation?

“Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman who did not fart in her husband’s lap,”

Now you may hold your nose and not think that a knee-slapper, but do you know any jokes that have lasted 4000-years?

Stamford PD 03/09/11

David Davis, 21, of Stamford, Connecticut was getting a haircut earlier this month.  A man in a heavy, black leather jacket approached him in what Davis calls “an aggressive manner.” So, of course, he jumped from the chair, grabbed a scissors, and stabbed the man in the back.

Davis was arrested soon afterwards hiding in a nearby apartment as the black-leather man was rushed to a hospital where he’s expected to recover.

Davis is currently being held on $5000 bond – sporting his new “do” behind bars.  The police have no comment on if he’ll be charged with “theft of services”, “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon”, or just “having a really bad hair day.”

Why do all these people keep bothering the author?

You can name a few living old movie stars, but none could compete with Elizabeth Taylor.  Ms. Taylor was one of those “Star of Stars” like Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Paul Newman.  There will never be another actor or actress who will become as idolized. Why?

Ms. Taylor was a product of the Hollywood Studio system.  Each studio jealously guarded their stars from overexposure, public buffoonery, stupid rumors, and, most of all, familiarity.

It’s unthinkable to imagine Elizabeth Taylor in a stolen sex video or babbling like Justin Beiber on a talk show.  Jennifer Anniston and Natalie Portland are beautiful women – but there were a few in my high school just as attractive and talented.

It’s a little hard to picture a “glamorous star” when you’re listening to some bimbo just out of rehab talking about how she “hovers” over public toilet seats when taking a pee.
