NOTRE DAME

Some people love Notre Dame some hate them, but this has nothing to do with sports. Notre Dame will not let their memorabilia be made in China. A standards code adopted by the Catholic university in 1997 requires freedom of association and the “right for workers to organize and form independent labor unions of their own choosing.” It implemented the ban on Chinese products four years later. If more places in this country had principles other than greed, we would be doing so much better.

FORGIVE AND FORGET?

The Republican freshman have a novel idea. Let’s forgive and forget. They don’t want the Democrats to use the vote they cast for the Ryan budget against them in the upcoming election. I guess it was okay for them to use every underhanded and untruthful attack they could against Democrats in the last election, but now they think that wasn’t the thing to do. How can anyone believe these pathetic clowns, who would sell their own mothers if they thought that would keep them in office? Democrats can’t be fair with these kinds of people; they look at kindness, or fairness as a weakness to be exploited. My advice is to use everything you can against these people.

DONALD TRUMP

I am breaking my own rule. I didn’t want to talk about Donald Trump. Now that he has embarrassed himself, I guess I will. I couldn’t take him seriously, so why write about him, The Republicans took him seriously for a while, but even they have seen through this clown. The only thing interesting about the whole experience is that the Republicans will buy into anyone. What is the reason? They have no one who is going to be a decent candidate at this time. So enter the Donald. Nice side show, but no substance

ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE

John Yoo the little creep lawyer from the Bush administration that wrote the torture memos that justified “enhanced interrogation” let’s just call it what it is “torture” had the nerve to say President Obama was afraid to take Bin Laden alive.
David Koch says the President Obama deserves no credit for killing Bin Laden
Andy Card former Bush top official says President Obama “has pounded his chest” too much.
Rick Santorum says 9/11 families and everybody else in America should be furious at this President. That he’s walking around taking credit for, you know, getting Osama bin laden. He didn’t get Osama bin laden. If you notice the words “this President” maybe President Bush should get the credit, but as far as I know President Bush hasn’t been in office for a couple of years. It sort of reminds me when President George W. Bush was in office. Everything that happened that was bad was President Clinton’s fault, and during President Clinton’s two terms when anything good happened it was President Reagan’s doing. I personally think most of these Republicans live in a strange science fiction world in their minds.
The thing is Osama bin laden was an enemy of all Americans. For these petty people to say President Obama doesn’t deserve credit is ludicrous.

GAS PRICES

A couple of weeks ago a man was explaining why gas prices go up immediately when the price of a barrel of oil goes up. His reasoning was that the gas stations know they will have to pay more for their next shipment. My question is why the reverse doesn’t apply? Doesn’t this mean that the next shipment will cost less? Gas has dropped almost 12 dollars a barrel. The price has come down ten cents. It seems the logic of this is way off. Let’s attribute it to greed.

SCUMBAGS

The Republican scumbags in the House of Representatives in their infinite wisdom decided not to pass a resolution honoring the seal team that took down Bin Laden. Of course the resolution also honored President Obama. We all know that the Republicans could never accept that President Obama does anything right. Their excuse is that they changed the rules when they took power. Fine, if they actually stood by all those rules. In fact they broke their rules on their very first bill they offered this session.

I would bet anyone that if this happened under President Bush they would have made an exception. By-the-way the Senate passed the resolution 97 to 0.

BIN LADEN AND THE REPUBLICANS

I would like to thank President Franklin Roosevelt for starting the OSS the precursor to the CIA in taking down Osama Bin Laden. Since almost all the Republicans are doing their best to credit President George W. Bush for his policies in the killing of Bin Laden I guess I can really go to the man who actually started our intelligence agencies. Is this stupid? Yes, but that has never stopped a Republican for taking credit or assigning blame to others. Every congress has their loony tune contingent, but this year’s Republican Party has to be the pettiest, immature, and uninformed, actually I think the word is stupid group that ever has been.
