Catch-Up

While "out sick" there were a lot of things I've wanted to mention in my blog, but have missed the opportunity. Since I don't have the time to deal with each in the level of detail I'd like, here's the abbreviated synopsis:

First, I was outraged by the Saudi judge that sentenced a victim of gang rape to 100 lashes for "adultery" -- 5 men, 1 woman, and she gets the 100 lashes? There is something very, very wrong with that picture.

I'd like to drop him into an all-male maximum security prison here in the US for a few weeks, then give him 100 lashes for being a part of the depravity they inflicted on him. It's unbelievable to me that we let that nation be considered one of our "political allies" with such widespread craziness masquerading as justice.

Second, I was heartbroken to read the story of the Webster family in the UK. They believed the "soy milk is better" hype, which (unbeknownst to anyone at the time) resulted in one of their children contracting scurvy, having a weakened leg bone that fractured, and then they were accused of child abuse. Now (years later), they still haven't even seen their children, but their names are finally cleared. And here's the kicker: because the government had already put their three oldest kids up for adoption -- and let the process go thru (even after they knew the problems were caused by scurvy) -- the Websters can't have their own children back. That is downright unbelievable.

Third, in spite of the gruesomeness, I had to chuckle after reading this story about socialized dentistry in the UK. Evidently, most Americans don't realize that we will have the exact same problems afflicting other nations with socialized medicine if we enact the nonsense proposed by the current administration. I can't imagine needing to use a pair of "channel lock" pliers on my teeth because there were no dentists available to do the job right!

Fourth, in yet another sickening example of "state-sponsored health care" (or maybe just an example of the many "freedoms" enjoyed in a communist regime), we have the Chinese Execution Bus, which is everything the title of the article implies, complete with a live video feed so the head honcho can keep an eye on things as they are happening. I wonder just how far down these roads (the "state-sponsored health care" road, and the one leading to socialism) Americans are willing to travel before they wake up and vote for better candidates?

Fifth, I'm wondering why the media is still "spinning" the actual cost of the snowbama-backed "government waste program" that's so rapidly become our nation's worst-ever enema? The real cost of this bill, in today's dollars is over $6 TRILLION dollars! Where is the outcry from the left? After being lambasted by the Democrats for his "wasteful spending," during his entire 8 years in office Bush spent a grand total of $4 Trillion.

If 8 years of Bush = $4 Trillion, and 1 month of snowbama = $6.5 Trillion, then what could 4 years of snowbama equal? (Please note, this non-technical equation doesn't take into account the ramifications of our coming hyperinflation problems, caused by printing this much money.) None of the words that come to mind right now are even remotely printable.

Sixth, I could not believe that snowbama's administration is now "reviewing policy" on Myanmar (formerly Burma). One of the most oppressive regimes on the planet and he wants Hillary to go shake their hands, hand over an olive branch, and whatever else they want? They've murdered thousands of people and we're going to "help the people" by simply being all buddy-buddy with the scum that have been killing so many citizens?

Seventh, and lastly, I had to include at least one genuine "stupid human" link in this montage (in addition to the ones above that reference typical know-nothing Democrats and snowbama's policies). The stupid human is NOT Coach Micah Grimes, recently of Covenant School in Dallas. No, the unfortunate coach seems to be fairly reasonable, it's the stupid humans that run the school that irk me. They accused the coach of encouraging his girls basketball team to win a game (which I thought was the object of having a team). Since the girls won 100 to 0 and the coach wouldn't apologize for how well they did (while playing their entire bench of 3 players) -- he was fired.

If I were on any of their sports teams, if I worked at, or even just attended that school, I would have quit the team (and withdrawn from the school) unless the moronic-officials that attempted to forfeit these girls' game cap apologized. Both to the coach and to the girls. Such blind ignorance on the part of the administration is completely inexcusable for anyone in the field of education: I would never encourage my children to forfeit -- just to make someone feel good. Especially if my children had worked as hard as these girls: In four years this team went from only winning 2 games -- in the entire season -- to making the championships! I would think that was something to celebrate, but, according to the school's administrators, I would be mistaken. Instead, those hard-working girls (all eight of them) should feel guilty that they worked hard for four years and became skilled, while in the SAME FOUR YEARS their opponents hadn't won ONE SINGLE GAME!

Did I mention that stupid people really irk me?
