POLITICS AND OTHER
LAUGHABLE SUBJECTS.
I recently read a piece
where, by tracing their family’s histories back many, many years, it was
discovered that Donald Trump and
Hillary Clinton were related. Someone
once said that politics makes strange bedfellows and nothing could be stranger
than that matchup. Is that a kick in the
head, or what? How many people have used
an online website or a genealogist to look into their family tree? I tried but ran into a brick wall two
generations back due to the different places lived and the variety of names
used by my father’s family. Back in the
1870’s records were not kept as accurately as they are now, so people moved,
they changed their names and blended in with their new communities.
Many times Barack Hussein Obama(love
those American names) has been called clinically delusional by this commentator…but
didn’t have a collection of videos such as these to prove my point. If you’ll look at these, on YouTube, you’ll
see what I mean. It’s about one minute
long and tells the tale for all the world to see. He is definitely out of touch with reality…check
it out: https://www.youtube.com/embed/MioNZBRrKZg .
It’s
a good thing that Pinocchio is not really a true story, because this guy’s nose
would be about four feet long!
A few years back there was this
thing called the sequester, remember? It
was done, ostensibly, to save money…and they did this by closing open-air
memorials, such as the Mt.
Rushmore monument, the
World War Two memorial, and others. It
also furloughed some non-essential federal workers who got their back pay when
they returned to work. So, did it save
money? I don’t think so. “The sequester is not something that I've
proposed,” Obama announced in his final 2012 presidential debate. “It is
something that Congress has proposed.” PolitiFact
-- the Pulitzer Prize-winning project of the Tampa Bay Times that has
essentially tracked all of the president’s major promises -- ruled Obama’s
argument “mostly false.” “It was
Obama’s negotiating team that came up with the idea,” wrote PolitiFact. The
project finds that Obama has kept 241, or 45 percent, of his roughly 500
campaign promises, while breaking 118, or 22 percent, and compromising on
roughly 25 percent. The remaining 8 percent are essentially still to be
determined.
Here’s another piece of
humor…depending upon how you view it.
Back in December of 2013 Jason Kissner had this to say in The American
Thinker…President Obama's personal data is "not in particular government
data bases" so his identity cannot be verified. And this according to White
House sources. Huh? What kind of data? And what kind of president cannot have
his identity verified. And this little disclosure comes just as Americans are
turning off the news to an extent that makes the classic "Friday afternoon
data dump" look like publicity-seeking. You go to apply for a credit card, they want
to know everything about you, right up until your breakfast that morning. Presidential nominees are not vetted as far
as I can determine, and that’s a puzzle.
We handed over the reins of the most powerful country in the world to a
person whose work-record could only produce being a community organizer. To his credit he blatantly told the world
that he was going to fundamentally transform America…but he neglected to tell us
into what?
My tastes don’t usually run to
wrestling but when it was announced that Jon Stewart was going to be in the
ring with a professional wrestler, that struck me as funny and something that
shouldn’t be missed. The mis-match was
not what I was expecting however…Stewart is shown hitting John Cena with a
chair, whereupon Cena picked him up, whirled him around a couple of times and
then body-slammed him to the ring floor.
Even
if you’re schooled in how to take a hit, a chair to the stomach has got to be
annoying to say the least. Stewart
never moved from the mat, unless the video was cut short. Cena seems to have been the wrestling’s
industry Captain America,
rating high in almost every poll for wrestlers.
There was a musical called “A funny
thing happened on the way to the forum”, taking place in old Rome.
We have it in our film library so we showed it the other night, and what
do you know…not much has changed in the several centuries since that farce is
supposed to have taken place, to our present government which is really a
burlesque of what government should be.
By the way, I’m old enough to have seen burlesque in theatres and it was
funny intentionally. This government is
laughable, without meaning to be, and it’s hurting America. Wake up America, your country needs you,
and it’s no laughing matter any more.
Finally, two quick items that make
me laugh when I see the commercials. One
is the Willow Curve, which is supposed to alleviate the pain and, possibly, the
need for knee replacement. It looks like
a kid’s toy with a lot of blinking lights.
The other one is Emu Oil which is supposed to be some sort of pain-killer,
but makes me think that they have to squeeze emus to get the oil out of them. Humor, like beauty, is in the eye and ear of
the beholder, eh?
