And THIS is the news!

Satire Good morning, America, Ladies and Gentleman, and all the ships at sea; I’m Walter Brainwaste and THIS is the news!

Getting pithy

Pith: (noun) The central and most important part of something such as an argument or discussion. When I was in school I was pleasantly surprised to be given the task of gathering frogs for dissection in class. I managed to trap enough specimens to make my teacher happy and torture many of the lovely young ladies I wanted to impress. (It was a miserable failure as you might guess.) From the capture we moved on to the nastier element of learning how to euthanize the specimen humanely.

Kennedy got it right

John F. Kennedy said: “There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.” Once in a while I get stuck. Many call it Writer’s Block. I call it a bunch of aggravating schmutz stuck in my head. It’s mental constipation. You know there’s something there, you just can’t get it out, hence the quote. Obama has a history of walking on a political treadmill. He keeps walking but never understands he’s going nowhere. He goes through the motions of ambulation but has no idea he’s got no destination other than in his head and when he stops he’ll be the same sad excuse for a political with no real success to his credit.

Just ramblin’ and amblin’

So; where do we go from here? We have Obama actually cancelling junkets and in general confusing the bejeezus out of everybody because he’s paying attention to Ebola. Maybe it’s because he said his policies and administrative programs are going to be tested in the midterm elections.

Riding shotgun

Ebola is the latest episode indicating just what and who is the real enemy of the people.

The Horsemen Ride?

We’re at war across the world. Famine is a terrible reality in 19 nations on the planet

The Screen Door

The unsecured border is like the screen in that it has no integrity

Seeing the real path of destruction

“You must see the enemy’s real path if you will stop him as he turns on you”

Cowboy Up!

America needs to take the steer we call government by its horns and control it so the people win

All hands on deck

So; I’m sitting on the sofa when I get an alert from the local paper, The Advocate, and it says there’s a story by Joe Gyan Jr. concerning the race for the 19th Judicial District Court. It seems the incumbent, Mike Caldwell, Div. “I” has been covering the Civil Court action and doesn’t receive very many cases concerning Criminal Code violations.

It’s no secret any longer

The Secret Service, a protective element of government law enforcement assigned the responsibility of assuring the President, and his family, as well as past presidents and their families, remains safe and unharmed has failed miserably. Now it’s being learned there appears to be a systemic breakdown; a breakdown not merely of the procedural elements used daily to protect, but more a breakdown of the underlying culture needing to be solid and unyielding in its strength and integrity.

The wheels on the bus

Clapper is no more than the slick spot where Obama showed his disloyalty to his minions and America once more

Rules of engagement

Rules of Engagement (ROE) are rules or directives to military forces (including individuals) that define the circumstances, conditions, degree, and manner in which force, or actions which might be construed as provocative, may be applied. They provide authorization for and/or limits on, among other things, the use of force and the employment of certain specific capabilities. In some nations, ROE have the status of guidance to military forces, while in other nations, ROE are lawful commands. Rules of Engagement do not normally dictate how a result is to be achieved but will indicate what measures may be unacceptable. Wikipedia (2014)

Adios, #

I’m stunned. I believed I was living under sanctions by my God and higher power. But now, I have hope for my forgiveness.

Shakespeare was a visionary

William Makepeace Thackeray said and to which I make an addition: The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face unless he defines beauty to his own benediction. (my emphasis and addition)

Stratification

Mondays suck. Over the weekend we see a dearth of reportable, recordable information occurring because legislators and civic leaders go to the house and start sipping on a cold one. The other problem to consider is this is the day when these nimrods return to work gumming up the process and trying like the dickens to maintain their cushy jobs doing no more than talking to each other, posturing before microphones and in general being of little to no good to the people paying their exorbitant salaries.

Boots on the ground

Scotland is still in the United Kingdom. That means Texas must admit the Free Texas Republic probably won’t be able to secede. Shucks! Additionally, it indicates the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations can breathe a little easier knowing the drive to declare them a parking lot for Massachusetts and Connecticut probably will go no further. (As “L’il Rhody” is my home state I feel no problem with stating the obvious.)

Grasping at Sawgrass

Obama speaking about “no boots on the ground”, turning the sacrifice of our heroes into a cliché is a matter formerly called: “Grasping at straws”

Recognizing the enemy

No matter how hard Obama tries to lie his way out of it and misdirect our attention from the fact; ISLAM is the foundational identity of this/these states,

International what?

John Kerry’s been babbling about some “international community” developing a united front against ISIL. Just what is this international community? Where is it? Who directs it? Who are the members?
