Let's Pretend

Think about it. What would YOU do if missiles were raining down on US for ~10 years?



Maybe you wouldn't do anything. If so, you deserve you Dhimmitude -- but I don't.

What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup?

Well, the outcome is dependent on your cultural proclivities:
The Italian throws the cup, breaks it, and walks away in a fit of rage.

The German carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.

The Frenchman takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.

The Chinese eats the fly and throws away the coffee.

The Russian drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge.

The Israeli sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese, sells the cup to the Italian, makes and drinks a cup of tea, and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.
Ah, but what does the Palestinian do with his fly infested coffee? I thought you’d never ask…
The Palestinian blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, the German and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of tea to the Palestinian.


Too farkin' true!

This Guy Has a Plan!

From Marooned in MA -- a pretty-good list of gun-related resolutions:

New Year's Resolution




Let's see how well this works-out....

2 Wounded in European Mall-Shooting

Missed this in the MSM didja? Me too.

I certain that it was merely a disgruntled shopper frustrated in trying to return an unwanted Ramadan present. Of course, it was not politically motivated, even though the victims were Israeli and the shooter apparently Arab. Nah -- course NOT!

Ya think this same tactic can be replicated on a larger scale on this side of the pond? Maybe with multiple shooter teams operating in many cities simultaneously? What would the effectiveness of that be in spreading terror and economic disruption? This would be an especially effective tactic since most malls prohibit concealed-carry of legal handguns -- therefore the risk of return-fire from citizens/victims will be nonexistent.

Think about it.

My Resolutions -- NOT in order of priority (but mebbe in order of feasibility):

1. Walk/run at least 10 miles/week.

2. Drop my weight to <210 lbs.

3. Transfer to a job where I am more intellectually & technically fulfilled.

4. Work on a more fulfilling relationship with my wife & family.

Respect is Reciprocal

Both Up the Chain-of-Command...




...and down.

The LACK OF RESPECT works exactly the same way.
