Big deal…

Of course the U.N. voted to condemn the U.S. embargo against Cuba.  Why does anyone with a pair of still-functioning gray cells give a damn  what the  U.N. thinks?     It is an expensive waste of taxpayer monies,  spent by a motley crew of corrupt snots who  hate the USA and everything America stands for.

 

 

Russian propaganda corrected…

Who knew the State Department possessed  a sense  of humor?   Too bad they are led by a second political hack in the Obama Administration…

Vanilla ice cream — downfall of U.S.?

A question,  asked partly tongue in cheek,  raises a good point.

 

 

Happy countries…

The Swiss are supposedly the  happiest people  on earth.  Wealth does tend to make you happy because it helps make you comfortable.    i doubt I could tolerate the strict regulations,  since I think the USA has far too many,  and I definitely wouldn’t like the rigidity of its society.

I’m surprised the USA is as high as tenth place,  frankly.

Britain battered…

Great Britain is suffering yet another round of wicked weather.   Te Eastern USA  is cold, icy and windy.   Ice and snow melt,  but water takes a while to drain.   Pray for us and them.

Jade Rabbit hops to a halt…

China’s loudly touted Jade Rabbit moon rover has  come to a halt  a month before the end of its stated three-month mission.   Considering the chines Communist propaganda machine,  I think it is likely that they expected it to last at least twice that long so they could brag about its longevity,  but I don’t think the USA’s Curiosity or Spirit,  much less the Opportunity on Mars,  have anything to worry about as of yet.

Obama makes us No. 2…

China  surpassed the USA  as the world’s largest trading nation last year.   His Oneness must be so pleased that he has taken down the country he loathes a notch.

Violent or not?

For those of you weary of hearing how violent and scary a place the USA is,  this will  cheer you up.  Turns out we Americans are far less violent than many other countries considered “safe.”

Of course, as in most nations,  there are safe places and dangerous places,  and here it’s often the case that the most violent cities severely restrict the Second Amendment rights of their inhabitants,  thus leaving the bad guys the only ones armed.

Mexico comes to Texas…

With drug gang style  shootings of law  enforcement.   But you needn’t worry,  because the Obama Administration assures us that the border is more secure than it has ever been and that none of the drug warfare there could ever possibly bleed over into the USA.

Smallpox hysteria…

The Virginia Historical Society put together an exhibit of  “bizarre bits”  from its collection,  which included  a smallpox scab.   That sent the Centers for Disease Control off in a dash to retrieve it.   It was a false alarm,  as are nearly all such discoveries,  because smallpox doesn’t remain viable without the right conditions.

What is incredible is that people are clamoring for Russia and the USA to destroy their stocks of smallpox,  when terrorists are always searching for bio-weapons.   And anyone who believes the Russians would actually destroy their stock if the UN and the World Health Organization suddenly decided it should,  raise your hand and go to the back of the line.
