I shouldn’t have driven home from the bar last night.

Considering that I walked there….

CAIRO — On the eve of his first trip to the United States as Egypt’s new Islamist president, Mohamed Morsi said the United States needed to fundamentally change its approach to the Arab world, showing greater respect for its values and helping build a Palestinian state, if it hoped to overcome decades of pent-up anger.

I am sorry, the arab world can go fuck themselves.

They haven’t, in my entire lifetime, done anything to help “build a Palestinian state”.   and we HAVE changed our approach to the Arab world, with the result that treating them nicely, like civilized people, has led to a rise in terrorism and warfare. Taking the boot off their necks has not helped at all, but  rather made things worse. They as a people, like mules, only seem to respect a very strong leader.

It is not up the the US to “repair  relations with the Arab world” We’ve tried, they got worse.

If Egypt, and the “Arab State” want respect, then they’d do well to begin by earning it.

Other wise? Fuck you.

Overheard:

“Why would you want to carry a firearm cocked and locked? Get a striker fired gun, they’re safer… no hammer.”

               Mitt Romney:

Make the best of a bad situation….

all of the choices for whom you should cast your vote for the assorted offices coming open in this upcoming election,  I have one thing for you to keep in mind:

The lesser of the two evils ..is STILL EVIL.

YMMV

You get disc brakes, more horsepower, better suspension, better handling, incredible reliability (compared to a Model T), tires that last a lot longer, more comfortable seats, incredibly greater crash survivability, headlights that actually are bright enough to work, a radio/music player, heat, air conditioning, tailights, smoother running engine, windows that work, etc.

All for the same price today as in 1920.

The price hasn’t gone up for a car, but the value of the dollar you use to buy it has gone down

Interesting, innit?

Please think about donating if you haven’t already. KTKC is a great organization.

I spent a LOT of time trying to decide which blogger to donate through….On the one hand there was Ambulance Driver, who got things going, IIRC, but then there was Jay G, who has great prizes…But then again, I have been reading Stingray’s words of wisdom for a while…And who I might like to hear having his junk waxed just for amusement purposes….and then Evyl Robot, who makes great holsters….(and whose wife likely looks good in a catsuit….(but I digress)), and, of course, OldNFO, who is a hell of a nice guy…..

Ultimately, I had to find some way to decide, so I tossed a die to choose, and JayG won. (I hadda go dig out my D&D stuff to find a 5 sided die….)

Again, if you haven’t donated, think about it.

These guys are doing a great service to foster donations from the rest of us, and they are supporting a good cause. If I had more money, I’d donate in each of their names. In case no one says it …THanks guys for your efforts.

Lebanese citizens could find the time to protest the US, and chant “Death to America”,

(BTW, that is nearly one in every eight people in the country)
Then we should help their self esteem and stop giving them those dollars tainted by coming from the “great Satan”.

According to wikipedia, Lebanon receives $400 million or more dollars from the US, second only to Israel. Other sources place that number lower at only $200 million. Either way, it should stop.

I am sure that the 1 in eight people in Lebanon who hate America would not want to continue to receive those dollars.

Cut ’em off. We really don’t have the money anyway.

I mean, according to Hamas, we should hold the countries where offensive material originates as responsible for that offensive material….

Since THIS was Palestinian, we can carpet bomb Palestine?

I mean, I find THIS offensive.

And THIS.

And this.

So can we trash their embassy and destroy the countries? Maybe make some green glass? It’d make exploiting the oil so much easier…..

I find their stuff very offensive. And I’m not even Jewish.
