Not Very Artistic? No Problem!

The Journal de Montreal does a great service to those of us who cannot draw, allowing us to join the outrage against the radical Islamic terrorism of the Charlie Hebdo attack

Now everybody can draw Muhmmad

Invoking The Duck Test

"When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck." - James Whitcomb Riley

from The New York Post "Daily Blotter" December 14, 2013 (http://nypost.com/2013/12/14/daily-blotter-21/ )

Manhattan

A man was assaulted in Greenwich Village for no apparent reason, cops said.
The 24-year-old victim was walking on West Fourth Street near Sixth Avenue Saturday at 12:40 a.m. when Jason Wren, 25, accosted him and sucker-punched him in the face, authorities said.
The victim was dazed and dropped to one knee.
The attacker and two pals who with him started laughing and walked away.
But the victim got up and bravely followed them to a nearby building as he dialed 911.
Cops busted Wren in the building.
The victim was released after treatment for an eye injury.
Wren, who is from New Jersey, was charged with assault. His friends were not charged.
Police said the attack was not a part of the recent series of “knockout game’’ assaults.

Well then, what is it????

The Ship of Fools

The perspective of a disinterested third party is often genius.  The roots of this can be traced back the late 60's, with the dumbing down of the public education system in America.  This is not to say that you cannot get a quality public education in America, but for the majority of those in the system, it is nothing more than indoctrination and creation of a dependent populace.

The "Gun Show Loophole" - An Interesting Twist

An interesting development in the ATF's Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal has brought to light another instance of the government's "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. It appears that George Gillett, who is up to his neck in the Fast & Furious gunrunning scandal  as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix field office, utilized the much maligned - by the ATF and others - "Gun Show Loophole" to sell a personally owned weapon to an individual in Arizona. There is nothing illegal about the transaction, from one private citizen to another, but ironic in that the ATF has had a crusade to eliminate this type of sale since the 1990s.

Only In America

1) Only in America, could a certain politician talk about the greed of the
rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.

2) Only in America, could people claim that the government still
discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a
black Attorney General, and an 18% black federal workforce, but a black
population of only 12%. .

3) Only in America, could they have had the two people most responsible for
our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department, and
Charles Rangel, who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to
be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

4) Only in America, could they have terrorists kill people in the name of
Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be
harmed by the backlash.

5) Only in America, could they make people who want to legally become
American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of
thousands of dollars for the privilege while they discuss letting people who
sneak into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens.

6) Only in America, could the people who believe in balancing the budget and
sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

7) Only in America, could they need to present a driver's license to cash a
check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

8) Only in America, could they demand the government investigate whether oil
companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up, when the
return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less
than half of the return of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

9) Only in America, could the government collect more tax dollars from the
people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars
more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and
complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

10) Only in America, could the rich people - who pay 86% of all federal
income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who
don't pay any federal income taxes at all.
