PROOF God Exists

Post Humorously

Researching another topic altogether, I came across this startling use of the word posthumously:

Nicholas Schmidle, whose narrative account of the death of Osama bin was completed without ever interviewing any members of SEAL Team 6, posthumously wrote an article entitled “In the Crosshairs’’ in The New Yorker.

Posthumously means “after death.” An article may be published posthumously, but writing one posthumously would be quite a feat.

Absolutely amazing!

The New Congress

They said "NO" for six years. Now, they're saying, "Let's waste time and energy on anything but security, jobs, health care, or basically anything that helps Americans in general. Oh, and let's bring back the dark ages!"

I Thought Kids Were Ditching Facebook

I get it. Facebook pretty much sucks. And primarily because it has been commercialized to the point that everyone and their great-grandparents believe they must have an account lest they miss sharing their pet's first poop... or the latest sale at Wal-mart.

Perhaps I'm easily peeved, but it galls me when a person who has just taken the training wheels off of their thinking cap calls my comment on national news "dumb". Not that they aren't entitled to an opinion on the subject at hand. But calling anyone dumb just shows a profound lack of emotional development.

And, like it or not, I am in a unique position to have informed opinions on national and international debates, whether you agree with them or not. Aside from the fact that I was wiring spaghetti boards (look it up) and coding Cobal and Fortran (again, look it up) before many of your parents were out of diapers, I had the distinct dis-privilege of working around some very unpleasant people in a very dark world where, they say, your right to be an ignorant, privileged, know-it-all prick is protected.

So, if you don't want to be disrespected, don't disrespect me... oh, and don't be stupid.

The Sound Of Thunder

A small boy is woken by a huge crash of thunder. He runs into his parents’ room, where his father comforts him. ‘Don’t be afraid of the thunder,’ he says. ‘It’s just a noise that God makes when someone tells a lie.’ ‘But why is it thundering now?’ asks the boy. ‘It’s the middle of the night and everyone is asleep.’ I know,’ replies father. ‘But it’s around this time that they start to print the newspapers.’

A panda bear walks into a bar

A panda bear walks into a bar and orders a sandwich.

The waiter brings him the sandwich. The panda bear eats it, pulls out a pistol, kills the waiter, and gets up and starts to walk out.

The bartender yells for him to stop.

The panda bear asks, "What do you want?"

The bartender replies, "First you come in here, order food, kill my waiter, then try to go without paying for your food."

The panda bear turns around and says, "Hey! I'm a Panda. Look it up!"

The bartender goes into the back room and looks up panda bear in the encyclopedia, which read: "Panda: a bear-like marsupial originating in Asian regions. Known largely for its stark black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves."

Antivax University

Dear Antivaxxers,
The reason you are ridiculed is that you exemplify the Dunning-Kruger effect, which, as put by Daniel R. Hawes, describes the phenomenon whereby “people fail to grasp their own incompetence, precisely because they are so incompetent“. In other words, people who know the least about a subject tend to think they know the most.

Not because there is some kind of conspiracy against you.

Never Mind

A guy goes into a bar and asks the bartender if he wants to hear a good Arkansas joke.

The bartender says, "Before you tell it, you should know that I am 6-2 and weigh 225 and I'm from Arkansas. See that guy at the end of the bar? He's 6-4 and weighs 250 and he's from Arkansas, too. And see the guy at the other end of the bar? He's 6-6 and weighs 280 and he's from Arkansas, too! Now, do you still want to tell your Arkansas joke?"

The guy says, "Nah."

To which the bartender smiles and says, "What's the matter? Are ya chicken?"

The guy says, "Nah. I just don't want to have to explain it three times."

Just Kidding

Wife: "How would you describe me?"
Husband: "ABCDEFGHIJK."
Wife: "What does that mean?"
Husband: "Adorable, beautiful, cute, delightful, elegant, fashionable, gorgeous, and hot."
Wife: "Aw, thank you, but what about IJK?"
Husband: "I'm just kidding!"

Vaccination

Silly woman on the news who doesn't understand why children should "bare the burden" of immunization.

Because they are the ones in the institutional disease breeding cauldrons called "public school". Don't want to be a responsible citizen and protect ALL children? Stay away from the rest of us.

Morons.

Guantanamo Geronimo

So, Tom Cotton - and apparently the entire right wing fringe - wants to rendition yet more people to an illegal holding facility and hold them without charge or trial or due process until they rot.

No wonder the rest of the world hates the United States.

And before you hand me that "he's a soldier" shit, I'm a Marine. So, I have as much authority on the subject as he does- perhaps more! (Note the lower case s and the capital M).

Commercials

McDonald's is running commercials trying to convince us that their food is healthy and their ego is "small". Nice try. I ain't lovin it... nor buying it.

Sports

Please don't get me started. Neanderthal's pandering to the lowest common denominator of society. And, apparently, that's pretty low... and a LOT of them.

If you paid to see this movie, you're a moron or morally bankrupt.

Propaganda Of Fear

"It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear." - General Douglas MacArthur, May 15, 1951

American Sniper

I'm a Marine. I have a high regard for the value of a well trained and well placed sniper.

But I'm getting sick of hearing about this movie and Chris Kyle. I don't really blame Kyle. Psycho's can't really help their psychopathy. I blame his superiors... all the way up to the white house!

As any true warrior will tell you, war is ugly. It's usually avoidable if it weren't so heavily greed driven. But those who must do it for those who can't can do so honorably. Chris Kyle is not honorable in real life. Regardless of what Hollywood tries to sell us.

Creating Monsters

Sending weapons overseas to "help" is all fun and games until you create a Hitler, Bin Laden, ISIS, or the like. STOP SUPPORTING THAT CRAP!

The Beauty of Nature 2

Do You Have To Vaccinate?

My opinion? No. You don't have to.

But if you don't, you can't come around me or my friends and family. You can't go to any public place that me, my family or friends go to. I don't even want to see you at my doctors office or my hospital. I don't want your kids in my public school.

So, no you don't have to. I just think that your beliefs that put the lives of others at risk to serious illness or death negates any perceived right to participate in activities with the rest of us.

In other words, your disbelief in science can kill you but not the rest of us. That is your right.

My idea of the perfect super bowl is a bottomless bowl of breaded and fried shrimp undisturbed bu sporting events of any kind!
