MUSLIMS OUTRAGED!
Our contribution to Muslim Outrage
 | Yesterday we had yet another one of those "Muslims Outraged" headlines. This time it came from Scotland and the heinous crime that so outraged the local Muslim population was a poster from the Teaside police advertising a new non-emergency phone number. On that poster there was a puppy sitting in a police hat. It was the puppy that the local Muslim community considered to be so outrageous. Muslims, you know, consider dogs to be unclean. Maybe they ought to spend a bit of time thinking about how other people view them.Anyhoo ... When we started talking about all of the "Muslims Outraged" newspaper headlines we had seen over the years. Using the Yahoo search engine I looked for the number of hits on various versions of "Muslims Outraged." We put the phrase into quotation marks so that it would only show a hit where those words appear together. That particular grammatical usage would more often appear in headlines than in the body of a story where the phrase would more likely be "Muslims were outraged." So .. here are your results. | Muslims Outraged | 35,600 hits | | Christians Outraged | 2,990 hits | | Jews outraged | 2,060 hits | | Buddhists Outraged | 24 hits | | Catholics Outraged | 11,500 hits | | Democrats Outraged | 45,600 hits | | Republicans Outraged | 13,800 hits | | Libertarians Outraged | 57 hits |
Clearly when it comes to being outraged, Democrats take the trophy home, with Muslims right behind. Libertarians and Buddhists bringing up the rear. With all of the terror, murder and mayhem that radical Muslims have unleashed on the world, and considering the fact that Muslims are involved on one side or the other of almost every shooting war in the world (of which there are about 130 or so), it is frankly surprising that they fine enough time to express so much outrage. OBAMA SCORECARD: PART II I've started a list of key issues that Barack Obama has conveniently changed his mind on in the past couple of weeks. It seems that we aren't the only ones keeping score. So here are a few more to add to our list.- Obama once said that the issue of gay marriage should be left up to the state. But now he opposes a California ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriages.
- The messiah once opposed the Republicans (later adopted by Bill Clinton) welfare reform plan, calling it "disturbing." Now he embraces it.
Well keep watch. THANK YOU DR. HARRY REID
Harry Reid has determined why we need to switch to alternative energy sources ... in fact, not just switch but completely stop our use of fossil fuels. The other day Harry tried to explain the costs we don't see on the bottom line of the coal and oil industries. Here's what he had to say: "Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. This global warming is ruining our country; it is ruining our world. We've got to stop using fossil fuels. For years we've been taking carbon out of the earth and putting it in the atmosphere. And it's making us all sick and it is changing our world."
Of course, his comments shouldn't really be surprising. After all, this is the guy who said that the coal industry is using "the old Hitler lie when you say things long enough people start believing them." That's one of the liberals' favorite tactics ... associate an industry with Hitler and his tactics and it will undoubtedly fail. Whatever would liberals do without Hitler? OK .. I know. Reid is a jerk. A pox on the people of Nevada who put him in office. Consider, though, that Harry Reid becomes a U.S. Senator with fewer votes than your average urban congressman needs to get through a primary. LOCKING IN YOUR GAS PRICES
There's a website out there called MyGallons.com and it actually allows you to fill up your future gas tank at current prices ... and at the rate that Democrats are moving, this will more than likely be worth your while. It uses regular unleaded gas as a benchmark and you buy the gas based on your zip code. The money is then put on a debit-like card which charges gallons instead of dollars. Apparently the card it accepted at 95% of gas stations --- though I would like to see this for myself. But don't worry ... I'm sure it won't take long for the government to regulate it or ban it altogether. After all --- doesn't this make us all speculators? Speculation is bad, you know. We're supposed to sit back and let the government take care of all of this. STUPID GOVERNMENT LAWS
This should keep you entertained for a while ... a website devoted entirely to dumb laws. But we'll highlight one, just to give you an idea of what you are getting into. This law was discovered at a go-kart track in California. Apparently, according to California Penal Code 490.6, it is illegal to cut in line and/or save a place for another person in line. Yes, seriously. Your government tax dollars were spent creating this law, creating this sign, and sadly enforcing this law. Your tax dollars at work. FIGHTING OVER CIGARETTES
I'll try and make this story as succinct as possible ... two teenagers and four "young adults" go out to a teen night at some dance club in Fort Myers, Florida. Around midnight (nothing good ever happens after midnight) they make their way to a gas station where they proceed to get into an argument over ... a pack of cigarettes. And not just cigarettes, but a pack of stolen cigarettes. Just by that point alone, you can judge the mental capabilities of these teenagers. Over 200 people end up getting involved in this brouhaha. The six teenagers who started it all, five girls and one guy, are arrested. The mother of the boy arrested says that she is frustrated with the situation ... "I don't understand why he couldn't come home for house arrest." Well maybe it's because police found a gun under the seat of his car ... a gun that his mother says "is not his." Yeah lady, and I'm sure that he is really a good boy he just got caught up with the wrong crowd. By the way ... did you have any idea where he was when this whole thing was happening? Or were you sleeping something off? DOCUMENTING THE LARDASSIFICATION OF AMERICA
Okay, keep this statistic in mind while reading this Nuze. In Texas since 1963, the number of government school students who are obese has quadrupled.
It gets worse. We also learn that less than a third of Texas third-graders can pass all parts of a physical fitness test. When it comes to older students, they do far, far worse. By senior year of high school, only 8% of females and 9% of males can pass the physical health exams. Just to give you an idea of what we are talking about ... a 10-year-old boy must be able to run one mile in 11 minutes and 30 seconds, do 12 curl-ups, nine trunk-lifts, seven push-ups and an eight-inch sit and reach. So not only are we raising dumbasses but we are raising lazy lardass dumbasses. FRIEND NEAL ON FACEBOOK! Yes, the Talkmaster is now on Facebook. There goes the neighborhood!

More wealth transfer.Barack Obama wants to rename Bush's office for faith based initiatives the Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships ... because that totally changes everything. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia says that we need to get used to higher gas prices. They be liking that money over there. Here's a concept ... the IEA says that supply and demand are responsible for high oil prices, not speculation. Here's an article you can't miss ... how Obama's tax plan is going to affect Tiger Woods. If you want a little more on Barack Obama's plans for your tax rates, read this article from the Wall Street Journal. John McCain is warning people in law enforcement about the danger of Obama-appointed judges if Obama wins the White House. How much will it cost you to "mingle" at the Democrat convention? A little more than you government stimulus check. Just a little. Our pathetic war on drugs really seems to be working ... Americans are the world's top drug users. We have a DRT story ... only this time family is upset that the gunman "took the law into his own hands" when he shot two burglars who were robbing a Subway. Republicans in Texas refuse to support a bill to rename a canal in their state after a man who donated to the campaign of the bill's author, who happens to be a Democrat. Those who prophesize global warming in your forecast are causing insurance companies to boost their premiums, based on this false global warming dogsqueeze. First it was the polar bear. Now we have the next animal threatened by global warming ... the penguins. A new poll found that most Americans want to expand oil drilling and build new power plants, rather than focusing on energy conservation. It probably won't surprise you to hear that construction of the new tower to replace the World Trade Center will be delayed for years and cost a lot more than planned. The Royal family in the UK is really concerned about its carbon footprint. So Prince Charles has a car that runs on wine. The Rubik's Cube is set to be the top selling Christmas gift this year in the UK. Aren't those offensive to Muslims? Here's something to waste your time with ... the top ten car ads of the 1970s. How do the car babes of the 70s match up to our current ones? PSA: This is how your daughter spent her spring break. Use caution if viewing at work. While there's no naked time, it'll be really hard to explain how this is work related. |
