Current Events

It took the events of this week to make me realize that I haven't blogged in a while. So here we go...

Obama's Birth Certificate. I will ask anyone who is still a birther, not "why are you such an idiot?" but rather, "Why do you hate America so much?" Barack Obama applied to run for State Senate, U.S. Senate, and the President. Each time, he had to prove eligibility with a Birth Certificate. I realize that the new political rhetoric is that "Government is Broken," but really? You think that government agencies missed that his birth certificate was forged THREE TIMES????? Or, as Ochem's Razor indicates, is it easier to believe that he's really a citizen?
And, teabaggers, the whole not recognizing the black guy's election to the presidency as being legitimate, doesn't help the whole idea that you all are NOT racist. Just sayin'.

Trump for President. There are a few Republicans who, the more you let them talk, the more you realize that they are blithering idiots. Three of them are running in 2012: Palin, Gingrich and Trump. Add Ann Coulter to the primary ballot, and you've got yourself a hilarious series of debates! Dumb and Dumbererer!

Royal Wedding - I hear that there was some beautiful choral music. I hope William and Kate are happy, and their marriage is blessed. Other than that? Who cares?

Osama Bin Laden - DEAD! I'm not getting into all the conspiracies. Just let me tell you my favorite things about this.

A) He let the Navy Seals be the Navy Seals. Give them a job to do, and they get it done, and get it done well. One day from orders to confirmation. THAT'S how you win a war! Our armed forces will win when the mission is to win the battle.

2) He treated Bin Laden's body with respect. Muslim funeral, and burial at sea within 24 hours. Now, maybe Al Quaeda will see us not as an enemy of Islam, but as a country that respects Islam and opposes the specific actions of THAT guy. Also, this isn't a vendetta. It isn't revenge. It's justice.

and D) THANK YOU for not showing us the body! Ew. I trust that our troops got the job done, I don't need to see a guy whose brains were blown out to prove it to me. I also, personally, am not so ghoulish as to want "closure" by proving that his body was real.

Finally, after 10 years, on the anniversary of the so-called "Mission Accomplished" speech, we finally finish what should have been done first thing after 9/11/01.
