Good – Goose – Gander – Some Assembly Required

[High Praise! to Transterrestrial Musings]

If Obama can suspend the employer mandate, why couldn’t a Republican president suspend the capital gains tax?

Or the corporate income tax? Or the whole damn code?

Democrats never think through the long-term implications of their lawlessness, because they assume that through it, they will gain eternal power. We can’t let them.

The Opposite of a Government Solution

How to dry your sneakers:

A cheap, simple, elegant solution to an otherwise vexing problem (the “sneaker in the dryer” clunk-clunk sound is easily the most annoying noise outside of commentary by an MSNBC talking head).

And it makes me wonder… what kind of solution would be developed by the twerps who thought Obamacare was a good idea?

Offhand, I’m picturing a shovel-ready job – specifically, two unions guys using shovels to toss your sneakers back and forth like overweight, disgruntled Jai-Alai players until your shoes finally dried out.

9 New Uses for Detroit

If you know me, I like to be helpful. Well, with Detroit having completely collapsed, it seems like I should help figure out something to do with the city. Otherwise, they’re going to try to get a bailout, and, well, that would just be money thrown down a bottomless pit. The government might as well just move on from there to burning our hard-earned money.

But if we put on our capitalist hat, I’m sure we can think of some use for the devastated and nearly abandoned Detroit.

IDEAS FOR DETROIT

* Come to Detroit to film your ad about the dangers of government. Ominous voice overs provided on site.

* Ever want to chuck hand grenades at buildings? $50 a pop.

* World’s biggest paint ball course.

* Move all gangs to Detroit and build giant walls around it. Escape from Detroit! (well, most already did, but it’s a little late now)

* Military bomb test site.

* Go to city for filming apocalypse movies. Zombie apocalypse, nuclear apocalypse, virus attack — Detroit has the look for your movie about the utter devastation of man.

* Fill with bears and make it a national park — Bear City.

* Get media to pretend Detroit had a big turnaround in its economy and then sell it to a gullible nation.

* Leave as is as warning to others.

So that’s what I got. You guys have any ideas?

Racist baby

Francis and Arlette Tshibangu had a baby recently. Not just any baby, but a white baby.

Now, you must wonder, what’s the big deal. There was a bunch of news coverage of anther white baby born in the U.K. recently, so why is the birth of another white baby news? Well, this one’s parents are black.

According to the Daily Mail — yes, that’s a real thing, not something The Beatles made up for a song — the black couple were surprised when Mrs. Tshinbangu gave birth to a white baby.

At least, Mr. Tshinbangu was surprised.

Doctors say the baby is a mutation. I’m sure that’s one explanation.

I’m not suggesting that Mrs. Tshinbangu was unfaithful to her husband, either. I’m thinking it may simply be that the baby is racist.

For years, some people have been operating as if only whites can be racist. Some go so far as to say that whites are born racist. Others have said that is racist in itself, and that people of any race can be racist. Which that first group says is racist.

Well, what if everyone is right? Any race can be racist, but only white people? This baby seems to prove it. He’s a born racist, is black, and because he’s a born racist, is white.

See? It all makes sense. Anything can be explained by Science!

Random Thoughts: Starving, Democrats and Women, and Racism

How many people in America starve to death each year?

Seems like you kind of have to go out of your way to starve to death in this country – like get trapped down a well and no one know.

Do you know what it means to have a country of over 300 million and have no one starve to death? It means we have no actual problems.

Not starving to death was the big concern of early man. And now it’s not even something we even think about anymore.

I’m not sure getting rid of starving to death in America was a good idea. Seems like a good motivator to keep around.

Detroit is our most libertarian city. Obama is our most capitalist president. Michael Bay is our most understated director. Lutefisk is our most delicious food.

To many, its seems like George Zimmerman’s biggest crime was not being the cartoonish, evil racist the narrative demanded.

BREAKING: George Zimmerman rescues hikers from bear attack and then slips back into the night, unfit to live among civilized man.

Does Huma being a doormat for her politically ambitious husband mean she’ll be NY’s next Senator and a future presidential candidate?

If you think whether or not you can be racist has anything to do with your skin color, you’re a racist. How is that not obvious?

Democrats stand behind women… which has to be very distressing for women.

I keep having nightmares about showing up for my online class fully dressed.

We really need more advances in cybernetics so we can get rid of handicapped parking spaces.

Democrat Men: “We stand behind women!”
Women: “What’s that poking me?”

I thought George C. Scott was an awful choice to play the lead in the biopic of Patton Oswalt.

Instead of having an NSA, why don’t we all just keep an eye out for terrorists. It’s easy; they have turbans and yell, “Allahu akbar!”

Ooh. Saw one just now. Don’t know what he’s doing in Boise. Probably lost.
