Our media is really good at coming up with compliments for mass murderers

According to them, John Muhammed is a "mastermind". Shooting unarmed, unsuspecting people as they gas up their vehicles takes a "mastermind." Yeah right.

It boggles my mastermind that Mr Muhammed even filed for clemency. Isn't he ready to meet with Allah and collect some virgins after doing Allah's good works by slaughtering infidels?

I love this guy!

A letter from the SF Chronicle,

"This is in response to a "Teen Rant" of Oct. 18 by Lizzie Logan, who complained about SAT tests. Lizzie believes that the tests are unfair because they give an advantage to students from rich families. Here is what I'd like to tell Lizzie:

Yes, Virginia, the colleges do prefer knowledgeable students who are already fluent in trigonometry and calculus, who have a reasonably rich lexicon and who can convey their thoughts in the form of an essay. Otherwise, the students will have to spend two out of four college years taking remedial classes. Our society does not need engineers who study engineering subjects proper for only the two remaining years.

The same applies to any field of endeavor: baseball, skating, saxophone playing or journalism. A baseball coach might feel sorry for an unskillful candidate who just has not had a chance to play the game with his parents. But usually a coach simply cannot afford to take such candidates in the hope that they might catch up later.

Whether you like it or not, we live in a competitive society that encourages excellence. That's why we have a football Hall of Fame, Nobel Prizes and Oscars. Do some kids have an unfair advantage over others because their parents are able and willing to tutor them or hire professional tutors? You bet they do, and the difference is obvious by the age of 5. The parents who read books to their kids, who teach them to count, who engage them in intelligent conversations create this "unfair" advantage. Have you thought about directing your rants toward your parents rather than colleges?

What is the alternative? The alternative is a drab, uniform, conformist society, which exists in some totalitarian countries. Such societies do not invent the telephone and do not discover penicillin. Would you rather live there?"

Eugene Veklerov is a semi-retired scientist who has worked at the University of California's Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory for more than 30 years. He has three children, and he was their SAT tutor. And he lived half of his life in a totalitarian country.

Over the Hill

Yesterday I was waiting in line at the 99 cent store. In front of me were 2 young boys with skateboards. As they got up to the cashier one of them asked the clerk if he could buy a helium balloon.

"Which one do you want?" asked the clerk.

"The 'Over the Hill,' one," replied the kid.

"Over the Hill,' the Afghan clerk said, looking surprised. "Who's it for?"

"It's for my friend," replied the boy. "She's going to be 11."

Tar balls

It was pretty disheartening to hear of the oil spill in San Francisco Bay, but even more so to find this when I took a walk down by the water. The black goo is called "tar balls." The oil sheen was all over the water in the bay. Apparently the effort to contain the spill was absolutely useless.

Ft. Hood shooter probably suffered from "first cousin parents brain disorder"

The truth is, we trained him to shoot and he used his skills against infidels. Points to him. He won this battle. He is no different than the Afghani policeman who just killed the British soldiers.

It is simply us or them. The soldiers he shot were being deployed to fight and possibly kill Muslims, instead they were taken out by a pre-emptive strike perpetrated on their own territory, by a Muslim.

The most important thing about the shooter is that he identifies with all the Muslims in the world before he identifies with his countrymen or women. He is not capable of doing otherwise.

It's just that simple people.

Always the victims

Today on NPR they did a story on the serial killer, Anthony Sowell. According to the story, all of us are guilty for not noticing, or caring, that Black women, most of whom were drug adicted prostitutes, went missing and were murdered without anyone noticing or caring.

What I noticed most of all about the story, was that the race of the victims was mentioned, but, not once was the race of the perpetrator mentioned.

"Attacks display Taliban resolve"

Gee. They slaughter and dismember more than 100 innocents, the majority of them women and children and according to our press what they display is "resolve." That is putting it mildly.

I'd say they display ruthless, murderous, brutality.

Harry Reid wants to "Level the playing field" in health care

Last time the Democrats leveled the playing field we ended up with the current US education system.

One thing I remember from being on Medi-Cal was that when you called a dental or doctor's office for an appointment, you always got the same message from the receptionists.

"Sorry, we are not accepting any more Med-Cal patients."

Talking to my gynecologist at Kaiser the other day about " health care reform" she expressed to me her worry that although she was supposed to spend at least 15 minutes with each patient, currently, she was only able to spend about 10 minutes with them. She was scared that if Kaiser agreed to accept many of the patients that will be covered by the proposed government plan, she would not be able to give quality care to her patients.

Anti-semitism

My ex-boyfriend once said to me, "My aunt seems like a sweet little old lady, but wait til she gets started on the Jews and their banks. Then she doesn't sound so sweet"

This swastika is carved into the sidewalk a block from my house. I think Pat Buchanan or Michael Moore did it.

The hippies are trying to kill me

Someone sent this trained squirrel to assassinate me. I heard rustling in the bushes and this killer ran out in front of me and tried to plant this banana peel in my path.

My neighbors are extremists

this sign is in the driveway of a senior citizens' board and care facility.

To the government of Pakistan:

Do not let the international aid organizations get their hands in your pie. If they have their way they will start demanding that you fight the Islamists in such a fashion that it will hamstring your efforts and ultimately drag the war on for, oh, at least a hundred years or more, thus creating a much larger refugee problem and causing millions more civilian deaths in the long run.

Do what the Sri Lankan government just did. Kick out the aid groups and the press and do what you gotta do to end this "conflict" quickly and decisively.

Obama's administration is reminding me of "The Outer Limits" show intro

Guantanamo is too good for them!

"The most horrific and grisly act of the Taliban victory celebrations was the brutal murder of the then Afghan president Najibullah who had taken refuge in the UN compound in central Kabul. A Taliban unit of five men commanded by Mullah Abdul Razzaq the governor of Herat arrested Najibullah. He was severely beaten, mercilessly tortured taken to the presidential palace and castrated. His battered and bruised semi conscious body was then dragged behind a jeep until finally being shot dead. His dead body was then hanged from a concrete traffic post and remained there for many days until decomposing. His younger brother and a few bodyguards received the same brutal and inhuman treatment at the hands of the Taliban."
