Random Thoughts

Michael Moore sent out a statement “Why I’m Posting Bail Money for Julian Assange”. Is the answer: “So people will pay attention to me!”?

I appreciate it that each day Michelle Obama mails handwritten notes to children making fun of them for being fat.

Worrying about North Korea taking over the world seems like worrying about Charles Manson taking over the country. Yeah, they should be feared and stopped, but let’s recognize the scope here.

I don’t get why people want to raise taxes on being rich to discourage wealth. Shouldn’t we raise taxes on the poor to discourage poverty?

If you want to get the economy moving, we need to discourage people from being poor. Doesn’t have to be tax; could be criminal penalties.

Of course, if the poor are outlawed, only outlaws will be poor. Which is good; why would we want criminals having lots of money?

Is California insured? Could we “accidentally” burn it down? Brushfires happen all the time.

If you’re going to put a switch to turn on and off wifi on a laptop, make sure it’s somewhere it won’t accidentally be bumped all the time.

  1. I never really was sure why Michelle gets such voice and authority. Maybe she got elected to an official office and I missed it, or something? That would make sense, since I generally try to not have to listen to her ramblings.

  2. Random thought: Why are so many conservatives – often civilian – insistent on sticking their nose into military policy, disagreeing with the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, the finest body of soldiers the world has ever known, on the business of his Corps, and arguing in favor of immediate repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell all the while complaining when “social conservatives” (Read: Southern, white Christians) try to “hijack our fiscal movement”?

  3. Michelle will only be proud of her country again when all the fat kids are at “re-education centers” to get slimmed down.

    The Norks would be like UAB playing Bama, they aren’t going to take over their position in the football world, but if they break the qb’s leg it would suck. (i.e. an EMP blast over Nebraska would suck)

    Michael Moore is posting Assange’s bail because our evil capitalist system has allowed him to amass an unfair amount of wealth and he doesn’t need all of it.

    We should institute a program of travel for American poor people to third world countries to see what real poverty looks like. That, or just go to Eagle Pass, TX and look across the Rio Grande.

    BTW, are the poor in America going hungry, or getting fat? Maybe their hungry because they’re fat and they need to feed all that mass.

  4. Marko –

    Well, Rachel Lucas once referred to Frank as “Monkey Boy.” (Rachel Lucas is back on her blog, btw, sorta. Why Frank doesn’t invite her to occasionally guest blog / cross-post here is a good question.)

  5. Nate. I was working my way down the comments to make one about Michelle’s pride in America and her shame of fat kids, but then you beat me to it.

    I would like to ask Michelle, what happened to all the hysteria and hoopla about harming the self-esteem of little girls by calling them fat?

    I’d also ask her why my workstation is so heinously constipated this morning, but I doubt I’d get a good answer.

    And she can have my Lucky Charms when she pries them from my cold dead fingers. They’re magically delicious, you know.

  6. It must be fun to be fat and be a kid in school right now! I know that if I were at that age I would be taking full advantage of the First Lady’s campaign. I’d be in! I’d be “encouraging” fat kids at every opportunity with my own special patriotic program of wedgies, taunts, wise-cracks, heads in toilets etc.! I would be like recognized or something by the White House as a non-stop seeker of the fat! I’d have a big award ceremony and all that cool stuff. They’d probably name the school after me!

  7. Speaking of the Corps, which is my best stab at relating to a current topic, I just discovered that John Ford directed a tribute to Chesty Puller. John Wayne narrated it.

    Chesty: A Tribute

    It was released after Ford passed and not long before we lost John Wayne. I haven’t been able to find it on Netflix or anywhere else, but I’m sure it’s worth watching, perhaps as required viewing in high school. I also discovered that John Ford was wounded in the battle of Midway.

    I return you now to your regularly scheduled topics.

  8. “Michael Moore sent out a statement “Why I’m Posting Bail Money for Julian Assange”. Is the answer: “So people will pay attention to me!”?”

    I’m wondering if Michael Moore would be just as quick to bail out the webmaster of “Moorewatch.com” to preserve his freedom of speech as well. Somehow, I’m guessing not.

  9. “Michael Moore sent out a statement “Why I’m Posting Bail Money for Julian Assange”. Is the answer: “So people will pay attention to me!”?

    That certainly a good possibility. But more likely is that Assange secretly owns a bakery and will provide his fat ass free cakes and pastries as a reward for posting his bail. There’s also “I’m standing with my fellow America hating Commie friend, so deal with it.”

  10. here’s a thought –

    how did we get to a point where “red states” are defined and the states that AREN’T leaning towards communism?

    remember not even 20 years ago when “going red” meant succumbing to communism? WTF????
