God Smiles

At some of us,

he laughs at others

Mostly when they think too much of themselves.

Question: help me out here, is this real or photoshopped?

Quote of the day

My wife, being a blonde, says that most blonde jokes are one-liners so that men can understand them.

Just go under it

Those are the words I hear from Michelle when I look at this picture…

Mm Mm Good

The Jew’s Ear Juice

It's a nasty-looking thick semi-transparent cloudy brown liquid. It's smell is weird, like a mix between the apple vinegar drink and turkey gravy

Jewsearjuice

It’s made from the Wood Ear fungus that looks somewhat like an ear hence the name.

Note: It seem that then name is not an insult in China, “as Judaism considered in China a synonym of success”  Others say it may just be a poor job in the translation department.

In an ‘Anything Goes’ Culture

Well anything goes.

The sub-headline really is all you need to read

A website advertising a new restaurant in Germany has called for humans to donate body parts for the menu causing outrage.

Its good that some people can still be outraged, its scary that some people think this is ok.

The online campaign by Flime in Berlin has called for diners to "donate any part of their body" as well as looking for an "open-minded surgeon".

However, politicians have condemned the restaurant for being a tasteless PR stunt according to Der Spiegel.

So far the location of the restaurant, if there is one, has not been disclosed.

"Members" willing to participate in the cannibal "Wari-culture" of the restaurant are asked to fill out a form.

It includes questions about medical fitness, Body Mass Index, how often one exercises and even if the donor is pregnant.

The restaurant claims to be inspired by the "compassionate cannibalism" of the Brazilian Waricaca tribe.

The website explains: "We see feasting as a spiritual act, in which the spirit and strength of the consumed creature is given to the guests."

The most trusted name in news

A CNN 3fer

1) Displaying Sara Palin” when it was Glen  Beck on stage, That’s a simple enough oft made mistake.

2) Sarah’s name is spelled “Sarah”  That one is easy enough to make when you’re typing a quick blurt for live TV.

3) But she ran as the Vice Presidential candidate not for “President” Well after spending the last 2 years calling Sarah a idiot for anything she says (even when it turned out to be right) I’m not going to give them a pass on this!

Hey Time Magazine

The answer is NO

The question is “Is America Islamophobic?”  The above chart shows that not to be the case and it is not a hard chart to find, a simple web search will bring it up.

Two things of note: Less than 200 hate crimes a year nationwide in a nation of 300,000,000 does not a phobia make, and did you notice that the rate is trending down?

Did you notice where the Jews are on that chart? Did you notice the trend. Do you know who has been pushing the “Israel is Evil” story everywhere you turn.

wtf

I wonder what this cost us?

North Korea does not do these thing for nothing. Never have never will

Former US President Jimmy Carter has secured the release of an American citizen detained in North Korea.

Aijalon Mahli Gomes, 31, was sentenced to eight years' hard labour in April, after being found guilty of illegally entering the country from China.

Mr Carter, who spent two days in Pyongyang, has now left with Mr Gomes.

North Korea's state media said officials told Mr Carter of Pyongyang's willingness to re-enter talks on its nuclear programme.

The North's Deputy Prime Minister Kim Yong-nam "expressed the Republic's commitment to denuclearise the Korean peninsula and resume the six-way talks," the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

Watch the news for something about money, trade, or military concessions to the North within the next few weeks.

South Korea refuses to re-enter new talks until it has secured an apology from the North for the ship sinking - something North Korea has refused to offer as it denies any role in the incident.

My guess is that the South will be pressured to end its demand to hold the North accountable for this attack.

60 cops 2 shoplifters

Shop with a cop day lets underprivileged children get needed school supplies with the help of local police. This year When Shop with a cop showed up at Fred Meyers where two young men had also decided to visit the men had to make a choice. They decided they did not need to change their plans when they figured the police would be distracted by their young charges, they forgot about store security.

Two men arrested in Oregon for shoplifting during a “Shop With a Cop” event for school children initially thought it was a bad time for stealing — with more than 60 uniformed officers on scene.

But Portland Sgt. Pete Simpson says the two gave it some more thought and decided police would be distracted so it would be a good time to steal.

They were wrong.

No Presidential visits to China

At least not has long as this is on sell there

OBAMA-DOLL

Yes that is an Obama blow up sex doll and yes that is in China and no I do not know what these girls are thinking, I did however notice the “one step away” body language.

Expectation of Standards

Not met

The society and environment teacher at the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Community High School asked Year 10 students to pretend they were a terrorist planning a chemical or biological attack on ''an unsuspecting Australian community''.

''Your goal is to kill the MOST innocent civilians in order to get your message across,'' the assignment said.

Funny thing, and maybe its nothing but, in the story they mention the name of a students in the class, her mother, the principle, the State Schools president, but not the teacher…. could it be they fear the possibility of profiling?

Principal Terry Martino said students were reminded that the teacher was not promoting terrorism and that if they chose not to complete the assignment they wouldn't be disadvantaged.

Outraging Public Decency

It appears the monument is a target for some reason…

_48732800_45169406

With Swastikas and other acts defacing this remembrance 4 times in the last two years CCTVs have been placed there CCTVs are what caught Miss Windy Lewis urinating on and “performing a sex on” a man on the monument.

War veterans are calling for a woman who urinated and performed a sex act on Blackpool's war monument to be jailed.

She was convicted in absentia and arrested yesterday

Wendy Lewis, who was jeered by veterans as she attended Blackpool Magistrates' Court on Friday, evaded sentencing by going on the run.

My guess is that the CCTVs were not the only cameras there, Look her up on the internet? (not a good ideal if you like your computer, those porn sites have the nastiest viruses)

"To be honest, we just need people to have a decent attitude and respect for mankind."

A little self pride wouldn’t hurt either.

The world morns a tree

The tree that Anne Frank wrote of in her diary fell over in a storm, the tree had been stricken with fungus but efforts were ongoing to preserve the tree.

A giant chestnut tree that comforted Dutch diarist Anne Frank as she hid from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic during World War Two collapsed in heavy wind and rain on Monday.

"Our chestnut tree is in full blossom. It is covered with leaves and is even more beautiful than last year," she wrote in May 1944, not long before she was betrayed to the Nazis.

Pieces are available on the internet.

History: Jerusalem

From a 1988 National Geographic special

Watch more free documentaries

A failed premise

One of the stated goals of Communism is the end to greed. By the top down control of the economy the communist will see to it that resources are fairly distributed ending greed by, in essence, ending wealth.

What they fail to realize (or perhaps they do) is that Communism doesn't end greed. It only changes it from a greed of money to a greed of power.

It has been proven time and again that a poor child can rise up into wealth, but a powerless child will always be powerless.

Dude!

Confusion of terms

Heroic: showing great bravery, courage, or determination characteristic of or suitable for a hero

What is heroic about walking into a restaurant frequented by teenagers and detonating a hidden bomb?

The heroic Shahada - Seeker  Omar Muhammad Ziyada (Abu Samed) who carried out the heroic Herzliya operation on June 11, 2002

This “Hero” killed a young lady and wounded 16 others. The Mission was a part of Yasser Arafat’s response to Israel’s concessions at Camp David also know as the Intifada.

how would I describe a people who would erect monuments to such killers.

Infamous: so bad as to earn somebody an extremely bad reputation

Insane: showing a complete lack of reason or foresight

Inhuman: showing great cruelty and a lack of humanity

Despicable: fully deserving of contempt

Don’t believe this video is real? read Snopes.
