Iran’s Irritations
President Ahmadinejad mouthing off.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran and general irritation to the goals of the United States. The media always ignores how this blister came about in the first place. No one wants to talk about the Shah that the United States help put in place many years ago only to fester into something much worse. It was a gradual blister that came into place. The Shah tried to convert a Muslim monarchy into a western society overnight bringing about opposition and sowing the seeds for chaos. Many of the western ideals and philosophies, including female suffrage went against the grain of a traditional Muslim society. It simply was a bad fit for the traditional Muslim population. Many people grew dissatisfied with the Shah’s plan and were imprisoned and tortured for their opposition. It was not long till chaos ensued and a handful of radical university students and an ousted Ayatollah Khomeini came to power. The hostage crisis of 1979 followed. When Ayatollah Khomeini finally passed away it wasn’t long before Ahmadinejad came to power. There is speculation that he was one of the original hostage takers from 1979. Aside from that he’s a menace that will have to be dealt with carefully.
Mahmoud has close ties with the Iran’s Republic National Guard and has his own secret police to quell dissenters within Iran. It is my belief that Mahmoud’s strategy is to incite martyrdom across the Middle East if the United States were to make the first attack. I suspect that if the United States does decide to make an attack that they will do it with Israel acting as a proxy. Either scenario will pop the Iranian blister that will spread the lymph of martyrdom throughout Middle East ensuing a very difficult situation for the United States to navigate.

Obama’s Abomination
Who needs another mosque in NY?
This a good example of Democratic waffling on an issue courtesy of the Clintonistas. Mr. B.O.’s knowledge of constitutional liberties sounds good, but his sense of discretion really veers to the left here. He’s has already groveled and apologized for United States stance against terrorism in the Middle East when he spoke in Cairo during the early part of his presidency. There is really no need for additional apologies and further compromise
The searing point here is that he implies religious freedom and extremism go hand-in-hand, therefore if a tiny minority of Islam are free to worship they are free to bomb and terrorize in the same breath. This has serious implications because this suggests that he condones a tiny minority of evangelic Christians that want to murder abortionist doctors. I make no apologies for my comparisons here as I feel that what Mr. B.O. is saying here would include this type of behavior.
I also think this issue also has undercurrents that go well beyond the presidency. I actually feel that Mr. B.O. is simply a puppet that is carrying out the directives that emanate from a more sinister group that is involved in the direction of economic and social policy worldwide. This issue of building a mosque near Ground Zero is actually meant to divide our nation even further so that in some point in the near future our nation will have to be rescued by a sinister organization that can collectively be called global government.

EBT Debit & Decadence
No Table Dances on EBT Debit
Grab your wallet! If you don’t the state of California will. Those folks on public assistance wanting to spend their free time at the casino or strip club will not be able to withdraw cash on their EBT debit card at a majority of these establishments. The state is asking for voluntary compliance at these businesses to reject cash withdrawals on these EBT debit cards. In the eyes of the state these transactions are not considered essential for the basic survival of an individual or their family.
Perhaps the general public that is not on public assistance thinks this is not a bad idea and in the short term it seems like a good thing. On the other hand the state and those salaried folks in our institutions of government are salivating at the chance to write some legislation to control this wasteful spending. They need a chance to justify their existence and look out for ‘the good of the people’. When this particular piece of legislation is ratified the general public will break out in a big hoorah and say good riddance to those scoundrels spending their hard earned tax dollars on a table dance or a pull on the slot machines. But we have such short memories.
Then we fast forward to the future that will come sooner than we think. Then one day the goody two shoes media, eager to sniff out a story of government waste, will announce one day across our televisions and say, “Looky there! There’s that scoundrel that hasn’t paid his parking ticket and his library fines. He is not on public assistance. Surely he has the means to pay. What can our government do about this?” Then the cronies that infest our government institutions will look back and say, “We stopped those scoundrels on public assistance with their EBT cards. We can just amend that law to include those scoundrels not on public assistance that refuse to pay their parking tickets and library fines. We’ll make them pony up those fines before they decide to fill up their gas tank, buy groceries, or pay their rent. That will teach them a lesson. The banks will be go along we bailed them out.”
This time there won’t be a big hoorah from the general public because they will suddenly be looking at their own debit cards and wondering where the money went.

Terrorist Tinkering in Times Square
Terrorist Tinkering in
The current decade of the 21st century finds our Nation enshrouded with doom and gloom. But we are getting a bit of comic relief amidst the horror and disbelief that shakes us to our souls. Al Qaeda Inc. has gone head to head with our blundering leader Mr. Obama by proving their incompetence in grooming citizen terrorists in the United States.
According to the information revealed to us by the media Faisal Shahzad was a pretty smart cookie and a fortunate one at that. He immigrated to America obtained two college degrees emphasizing computer science. He went out and got a really dandy job, got married, had some kids and financed a house. Some sources speculate that he might have been an Al Qaeda ‘plant’ like the guys who pulled off the Twin Towers job.
What doesn’t gel with me is that this guy with all this education can’t do the proper research to assemble a bomb. A computer science professional that can’t anonymously surf the Internet and gather the proper information to get the right kind of fertilizer to make an ANFO( Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil ) explosive device? What makes things even fishier is that according to the media that he was quite adamant to the real estate agent about his stance on Pakistan’s involvement in the war on terror. To really top it off he purchases an automobile on Craigslist with cash knowing all the time that it is monitored by law enforcement for all kinds of seedy activity.
If you believer what the American media has to say about this guy it just doesn’t add up. The Pakistani branch of Taliban tried to get a little propaganda mileage out of this incident, but failed to mention him by name, probably because they embarrassed by this knucklehead.

Immigration Reform? Too Busy in Washington
Immigration Reform? Too busy in Washington
I pondered doing a cartoon on all the hell going on in Arizona over their new state immigration law. I really felt it would be a difficult task to carry out tactfully. Besides I know the real issue behind the whole thing is really about money. It’s important that are borders be protected from intruders up to no good, but the clowns in Washington don’t really think it is important to hire real people with the proper training to do the job and pay them real money, instead they fritter money away and rely on egg-headed defense contractors to play with all sorts of fancy cameras and complex hardware and software. Real people on foot and a real fence would be more cost effective.
But what you really have to remember that war is money and when legislators pockets are dragging the grounds with all the money that is stuffed into them by egg-headed contractors and think tanks that build billion dollar stealth bombers that crash, 500 million dollar missiles that only kill a handful of people and usually the wrong ones.
Back on the home front the border is secured with rotten fence posts and rusty tin and outstretched miles of the border have no fence at all. The few border guards that are actually out in the field are stretched thin and overworked. They have wear the legal kid gloves if they ever really catch anybody because the ACLU is watching closely.
Meanwhile the fiends on Wall Street are coming up with all kinds of clever ways to play casino with the cash flowing like rivers through computer servers and the banking systems. Of course Wall Street needs a few good lackeys to work in this global casino. Someone to serve the drinks, shine the corporate executive shoes in the bathroom, and empty the drop boxes at the global dice tables on Wall Street. They are our representatives on Capitol Hill.

Whose Enriched Uranium is it Anyway?
Who's enriched uranium is it anyway?
Mr. Obama is determined to set the pace for incompetence in world government by creating schemes that involve storing enriched uranium that belong to other nations in the United States. His motive is that if enriched uranium is kept in the United States it is less likely to be pilfered away from other nations by the so-called terrorists that are dying to get their hands on enough of the stuff to cobble together some sort of nuclear device even if they have to settle for something as simple as a dirty bomb.
It is not likely that Al-Qaeda and company could manage to get the people with the expertise and skill to assemble a fission nuclear device. It is also not likely that such a device could be assembled in a remote area or a cave. Assembling a fission nuclear device requires precision and rigid controls of the environment in which it is assembled.
Mr. Obama doesn’t delve into the details of how exactly this is being carried, but after digging into the issue and reading some other news articles it seems that this caretaker plan for the safekeeping of fissile material will be administered by the International Atomic Energy Agency which is a branch of the UN. Nor does he mention that $50 million will be extracted from the American taxpayers pocket to support this effort. So far this appears to be the political magic mix of money and bureaucracy to safeguard us from terrorists playing around with enriched uranium or whatever they manage to get their hands on.
The quack premise of this plan also carries the assurance that the United States will not drop nuclear bombs on countries that don’t have the resources to build a fissile nuclear device. This sort of sounds like a guarantee carried out via blackmail.
This also brings to question whether or not other nations that already have nuclear weapons will be participants in this caretaker program. Will the monitoring by the UN and IAEA be enough? Will our enemies or rogue nations soon learn the ropes of this newly formed bureaucracy and find out how to wheel and deal to get the hands on fissile material anyway? Who will take responsibility if any of this material comes up missing? Can Mr. Obama answer for this?

Clash of the Buffoons
President Ahmadinejad and Mr. Obama go head to head
Incompetent global politicians seem to be the future of world government. Mr Obama and President Ahmadinejad of Iran are two world leaders that are quickly on their way to precipitating a World War III situation by fumbling the ball with nuclear arsenals.
Let us take a look at President Ahmadinejad. According to Wikipedia he comes from humble beginnings in Iran. He attended college and was trained as a civil engineer and was a teacher for a short time. Later on in life he was appointed as the mayor of Tehran. Ahmadinejad used his engineering training to make some improvements to the public transit in Tehran. He was compassionate about the poor people of Tehran and implemented soup kitchens. These seem like sensible things that any good city mayor should do. On the other hand when he suggested that the dead from the Iran-Iraq war should be buried in the town square you begin feel that the mayor might be a little touched in the head. According to general principles of Islamic law it is well known that women are not equal to men in social status, and there is much emphasis on the segregation of men and women. During one point in his career he suggested that women should be able to attend all male sporting events, such as football. One of his Grand Ayatollah refused to meet with him several weeks after this suggestion. At another point in 2005 he spoke before the UN General Assembly and claimed that he had a halo over his head and was able to hypnotize the attending dignitaries to hang on his every word. Taking the above points into consideration would leave you to believe that this guy doesn’t need to be in charge of a nuclear arsenal.
Now let us put Mr. Obama under the magnifying glass. Mr. Obama started his career after graduating from Columbia University and Harvard Law School. Just like President Ahmadinejad he was a teacher. Another similarity arises when we see that Mr. Obama worked as a community organizer in Chicago although no soup kitchens are mentioned but this has a similar ring. Previous to his career as President Mr. Obama had many accolades under his belt such as being a civil rights attorney, and an editor and the president of the Harvard Law Review. Once he became President he pushed very hard to give the American public the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. He also took it upon himself to bail out large corporate banks with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Regarding the present state of the economy he really has no experience balancing the books of a nation other than printing more money. All these thing add up to someone that is a good lawyer that has dabbled in community service and is concerned with public health care. It really says nothing about a man that is experienced in the negotiating with nutty strongmen that are wanting to get their hands on a nuclear arsenal. As far as military experience and global military adventures he simply inherited that from the previous administration and made a few cosmetic changes. Nope you don’t want a guy that wants to get rid of nuclear weapons to be left in charge of a nuclear arsenal.
The current economic global situation has us all holding our breath and hoping the worst thing we have to look forward to is a cold bowl of soup and a long line at the doctor’s office.

401k or 401 Klams?
401k or 401 Klams
Did you ever notice all the different types of shortages that we have had over the last four decades? It seems that shortages of toilet paper, fuel, electricity, jobs, and especially money recently. Yet, in all my recent and past memories every time I walk into the grocery store, restaurant, or employee cafeteria there is never a shortage of clam chowder. It seems that of all the things that are harvested from the oceans of the world that clams seem to be in no danger of extinction. Even if every able bodied citizen in the United States that had an acquired taste for delicious New England clam chowder were to sit down and simultaneously indulge in a can of clam chowder the media would not sound an alarm of an impending grievous shortage of clam chowder. The shelf stockers at major grocery store chains would be happily restocking the shelves with an seemingly endless supply of clam chowder. Now that is a lot of clams.
On the other hand let one person living in California dare turn up the air conditioning in his or her place of residence and suddenly there is a brownout or a threat of rolling blackouts on the electrical grid. In the early seventies there was the scare of not being enough toilet paper. During the Arab oil embargo there was sudden shortage of gasoline. But once again the clams were spared.
When we fast forward to 2010 again we are faced with shortages. This a shortage of another type of clams, that is money and credit. Suddenly consumers are faced with paying overpriced mortgages on their homes because they don’t have enough clams. The Federal Reserve and the Administration are able create clams out of a void and supply the banks coffers with an abundance of clams, yet the banks are content to tell consumers there are no clams for them.
Then we have the presidential clam Mr. Obama who seems to be happy as a clam when he can tell the American public that there must be a law that everyone must have health insurance whether they like it or not and he finds all kinds of clever ways to get your clams to pay for it. Even the unemployed and homeless will have health insurance even though they have no clams. Has your home been foreclosed on? Are you out of a job because it went to another country where people will work for less clams? Don’t worry, be happy. You will probably wind up in a federally funded shelter where there will always be a bowl of clam chowder for your dining pleasure.
