Amazingly Insightful

I found this in the comic pages and found it to be quite insightful. “The only potent way to deal with terrorism would be to legalize it, regulate it, burden it with tariffs, run it into the ground until it flees as a tax exile to another country and closes its franchises in yours.” (Thanks to Brooke McEldowney, its author and artist, whose work in two strips is very enjoyable. This is from “Pibgorn.” Her other strip is “9 Chickweed Lane.” Both are outstanding) Her recent Pibgorn series, based on “Romeo & Juliet” is, well, I can’t find superlatives to describe it that I haven’t already used. (I hope I’m not making a mistake in saying, “she.” Brooke could be either. But I thank her/him for his/her efforts).

WHAT PART OF THE BODY IS THAT? I once heard a story about a man who got shot in a parking lot. I immediately asked the question, “What part of the body is that?” This illustrates how sloppy headline writers are. And today I saw a story in the news about a 5-year-old Texas boy being shot by his brother in “the humble area.” What part of the body is THAT? I wonder how long it will be until headline writers get smart enough to write headlines correctly?

IS THAT INDICATIVE? To illustrate a story about gun control in the Marquette Magazine, they use a picture of a leggy blond with her legs spread (turned to the side, dammit!) and her skirt riding WAY up her legs, holding an automatic weapon with the butt resting on her pudenda. Is that supposed to be indicative of something, or was that simply the best place for it? Sex definitely sells, and the anti-gun fools use it like everyone else does. Maybe we should push for an X-rating for that issue of this magazine. I’ll tell you, it got MY motor running, and I’m OLD!

“SHARIA POLICE” PATROL IN GERMANY: Can you believe it? An Islamic organization called, “Invitation to Paradise” patrolled the streets in Wuppertal, Germany, stopping people going into and coming out of bars and nightclubs, telling them not to drink and gamble. They wore makeshift “uniforms” consisting of orange vests with "Sharia Police" on the back. They didn’t tell people they were only a private group with NO authority whatsoever and did it simply to intimidate. They SAY they’re just trying to “raise consciousness about Sharia Law. The real cops aren’t amused.

STILL MUM TO MOM: Obama’s government still isn’t talking to the parents of the people killed by Islamic terrorists at Benghazi, years later. You’d THINK they’d have enough DECENCY to at least tell the MOTHERS of the victims what happened, but Obama doesn’t care about the parents of his victims, no more than he cares about his victims. Going off to play golf MINUTES after his very short (five minutes) speech about the journalist beheaded by terrorists tells me a lot about how much he cares.

ATTACK SYRIA—NOW! It’s the same argument that kept us out of Iraq for so long, before we finally went in and “wiped out” the Islamic terrorists who were using that country as a “safe harbor” for training and recruiting their troops, while supplying them with Saddam’s money. And he had plenty that he had LOOTED from the Iraqi people. The same thing is happening in Syria while fool liberals say the same thing about going in and “taking out” the Islamic terrorists who are fighting to finish the takeover of not only Syria, but Iraq, as well. We need to “wipe them out,” NOW! Before they become any stronger.
