The Dangerous and Outrageous Iran "Deal"

Tom Cotton speaks:
“I think this is madness… I believe the American people will repudiate this agreement as they learn more about it and Congress will therefore kill the deal. This is not any old vote. This is not like a vote on taxes or the debt ceiling where it’s debated for one election and then it’s behind you. Any Congressman or Senator, Democrat or Republican, who votes for this deal is putting his or her political fate in the hands of Ayatollahs for the rest of time."

Skool Daze

For the life of me I can't fathom why we even bother having schools anymore. Pink Floyd were obviously more prescient than originally given credit for.

Monty Python Is In The House

STOCKHOLM (FRIA TIDER). Owners of cars destroyed in the riots fined for parking illegally while police adopt non-intervention policy.

Since last Sunday, May 19, rioters have taken to the streets of Stockholm’s suburbs every night, torching cars, schools, stores, office buildings and residential complexes. Yesterday, a police station in Rågsved, a suburb four kilometers south of Stockholm, was attacked and set on fire.  But while the Stockholm riots keep spreading and intensifying, Swedish police have adopted a tactic of non-interference. ”Our ambition is really to do as little as possible,” Stockholm Chief of Police Mats Löfving explained to the Swedish newspaper Expressen on Tuesday.”We go to the crime scenes, but when we get there we stand and wait,” elaborated Lars Byström, the media relations officer of the Stockholm Police Department. ”If we see a burning car, we let it burn if there is no risk of the fire spreading to other cars or buildings nearby. By doing so we minimize the risk of having rocks thrown at us.”

Swedish parking laws, however, continue to be rigidly enforced despite the increasingly chaotic situation. Early Wednesday, while documenting the destruction after a night of rioting in the Stockholm suburb of Alby, a reporter from Fria Tider observed a parking enforcement officer writing a ticket for a burnt-out Ford. When questioned, the officer explained that the ticket was issued because the vehicle lacked a tag showing its time of arrival. The fact that the vehicle had been effectively destroyed – its windshield smashed and the interior heavily damaged by fire – was irrelevant according to the meter maid, who asked Fria Tider’s photographer to destroy the photos he had taken. Her employer, the parking company P-service, refused to comment when Fria Tider contacted them on Wednesday afternoon.

What Are We Eating?

 Have you been reading about horse meat entering the food chain in Europe?

How about a toxic dose of horse medications to go with that spaghetti?  While many people are saying "ew" simply because they have an aversion to tucking into Black Beauty, they should be worried about what drugs are contained within the meat.

Horse meat has now been detected in Swedish meatballs packaged by Ikea. Who knew that Ikea was into food manufacturing? Another mystery solved:  the sawdusty-taste of store bought, processed meatballs.

While horses have not been physically slaughtered here in the US for the past five years, they are transported to Canada and Mexico for that very reason.

"In 2011, about 140,000 American horses were eaten abroad. But they weren’t slaughtered in the U.S. When America closed its last horse slaughter plants five years ago, American horse buyers turned their trucks north and south to slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada. From there, most of the meat goes to the European Union.
But American horses are given drugs that humans should not consume."

I wonder how much of this meat is finding its way into the American and Canadian food supply, and for how long?

The Dental Diaries

Toothsome tales of terror.

She is suing Colgate for a total of $100,000. $6,000 for dental treatment so far and $94,000 for future treatment.

Excuse me while I Laugh My Ass Off.

Needless to say, no dental bills were produced and no Dentists called to testify.

Another day, another idiot lawsuit dies.

A B.C. woman, who sued Colgate-Palmolive Canada Inc. over allegations she suffered serious injuries when a toothbrush broke apart while she was brushing her teeth, abandoned her lawsuit on Wednesday.


And it only cost $30,000 for Colgate's defense costs. Thank this moron for increases in the price of your toothpaste.

Oy!

Equal Protection Under the Law



It is good to see that Capital Police in Atlanta, Georgia, are on the job and enforcing the laws of the state with impartiality.

Yep, You Guessed It...

...Obama is about to address the nation.  The DJIA is already down south of 330 points; it seems like every time Obama opens his mouth, the market tanks further.  Why oh why does he do this?
