COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Humor For Your Weekend Pleasure

I have decided to rise above the petty acrimony fostered by the hosts of this site, and present uplifting material such as these items below, generously provided by linearthinker.
He would appreciate in kind contributions in your comments.

Sea Food

Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spied survivors of a sunken ship.

"Follow me son" the father shark said to the son shark and they swam to the mass of people.

"First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing."
And they did.
"Well done, son!

Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing."
And they did.

"Now we eat everybody."
And they did.

When they were both gorged, the son asked, "Dad, why didn't we just eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around them?"

His wise father replied,
"Because they taste better without the crap inside!"

THE MAFIA BOOKKEEPER

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.

When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.

The Godfather tells the lawyer "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is?"

The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper.

The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."

The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."

The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!"

The attorney signs to the bookkeeper:
"He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"

The bookkeeper signs back:
"OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens !"

The Godfather asks the attorney:
"Well, what'd he say?"

The attorney replies:

"He says you don't have the guts to pull the trigger."

  8. That reminds me of a story I may have told here before, but...
    It's good enough to retell.

    My ex-brother-in-law had neighbors (Japanese) who left their yappy dogs locked in the garage all day when they went to work.

    After many months of complaining, bro in law got tired of the situation and took matters into his own hands.
    Literally.

    While they were out for the evening, he snuck up on their roof, which was asphalt covered with gravel and rocks.

    He proceeded to fill all the sewer vents with the rocks!

    When the Roto Rooter Man came calling, somehow his equipment kept on breaking.

    An expensive retro-replumbing job followed.

    Not sure exactly how that translated into quieting the dogs, but it did.

  9. THE AMISH ELEVATOR
    An Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost
    everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could
    move apart and then slide back together again.

    The boy asked, 'What is this Father?'

    The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son, I have never
    seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is'

    While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat, old lady
    in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button.
    The door closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above
    the walls light up sequentially.
    They continued to watch until it reached
    the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.

    Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped
    out.

    The father said quietly to his son.....'Go get your mother.'

  11. A very flat-chested woman finally decided she needed a bra and set out to the mall in search of one in her size. She entered an upscale department store and approached the saleslady in lingerie, "Do you have a size 28AAAA bra?" The clerk haughtily replied in the negative, so she left the store and proceeded to another department store where she is rebuffed in much the same manner. After a third try at another department store in the mall, she had become disgusted. Leaving the mall, she drove to K-Mart.

    Marching up to the sales clerk, she unbuttoned and threw open her blouse, yelling, "Do you have anything for this?" The lady looked closely at her and replied, "Have you tried Clearasil?"

  14. sraeli Army Report on Protest Death Vastly Different Than Allegations

    The Israeli army’s investigation into the death of a woman alleged to have died at a demonstration from inhaling tear gas reveals a vastly different sequence of events. According to the report released on Wednesday, Jawaher Abu-Rahma inhaled very little tear gas but succumbed to a severe overdose of Atropine administered at a Ramallah hospital based on the false assumption that Abu-Rahma had inhaled a large quantity of the tear gas. Adding to the controversy, the army report claims Abu-Rahma was not even in attendance at the demonstration at Bi’lin – the site of weekly protests over Israel’s building of a security barrier. Participants at the demonstration continue to insist that Abu-Rahma was at the event. Army sources said the investigators had access to the victim’s medical records. The army also announced on Wednesday that it had discharged a soldier who participated in the death of a 65-year old Palestinian man during an arrest raid in Hebron earlier this month. One of the troops looking for Hamas members just released by Fatah opened fire on the man who was allegedly sleeping when the soldier saw movement and thought his life was in danger. A second soldier who also opened fire was deemed to have acted “unprofessionally” and discharged from the army.

  48. Congress Watch
    A Conservative Estimate of Total Direct U.S. Aid to Israel: Almost $114 Billion

    By Shirl McArthur

    It must be emphasized that this analysis is a conservative, defensible accounting of U.S. direct aid to Israel, NOT of Israel’s cost to the U.S. or the American taxpayer, nor of the benefits to Israel of U.S. aid. The distinction is important, because the indirect or consequential costs suffered by the U.S. as a result of its blind support for Israel exceed by many times the substantial amount of direct aid to Israel. (See, for example, the late Thomas R. Stauffer’s article in the June 2003 Washington Report, “The Costs to American Taxpayers of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: $3 Trillion.”)

    ReplyDelete
  49. the settlement movement has cost Israel $100 billion in the past 40 years, or $2.5 billion a year; roughly equal to the U.S. aid package to Israel.

    Therefore, one could make the point that cessation of U. S. aid to Israel could solve many problems, for the U.S., the Arab world and Israel. Israel would have to abandon the settlements, Middle East peace talks would flourish, Israel could restore its economic growth and reestablish itself as a respected member of the international community. Arab anger over the Palestinian occupation, which foments anti-American sentiment, would subside. It would also reduce Al Qaeda's ability to exploit that anger and mobilize support.

  83. The One-Eyed Man Is King

    Talk about Two Americas.
    Look at “The Social Network” again after seeing “True Grit,” and you’ll see two different civilizations, as far removed from each other in ethos as Silicon Valley and Monument Valley.

    While “Social Network” fictionalizes Mark Zuckerberg, it mines the truth of an era — from the ability of the powerful and privileged to manipulate the system to the collapse of loyalty as a prized American virtue at the top of that economic pyramid.

    In contrast to Mattie’s dictum, no one has to pay for any transgression in the world it depicts. Zuckerberg’s antagonists, Harvard classmates who accuse him of intellectual theft, and his allies, exemplified by a predatory venture capitalist, sometimes seem more entitled and ruthless than he is.

    The blackest joke in Aaron Sorkin’s priceless script is that Lawrence Summers, a Harvard president who would later moonlight as a hedge fund consultant, might intervene to arbitrate any ethical conflicts. You almost wish Rooster were around to get the job done.


    The King is dead!

  84. CIA-trained 'terrorist' in US court
    Accused of killing 73 in an airline bombing, Luis Posada Carriles charged with immigration violations, not terrorism.

    Chris Arsenault

    A 2006 statement from the US Department of Justice states: "Luis Posada-Carriles is an admitted mastermind of terrorist plots and attacks ... a flight risk … [and] a danger to the community."

    But the Justice Department's view does not seem to be shared by other branches of the US government. The incriminating secrets Posada likely posses, tense relations between the US, Cuba and Venezuela and domestic political concerns—the anti-Castro Cuban population in Miami holds national electoral clout far beyond its numbers – mean that extradition or terrorism charges seem unlikely.

    "This case illustrates the double face of the US war on terrorism," Pertierra, who represents Venezuelan interests, said as court adjourned for lunch. "You can't pick and choose which terrorists you prosecute and which ones you protect. You can't have first class victims and second class victims; all victims must be mourned equally."

    In the first attack, a car exploded in a parking lot, killing 12 and injuring 32.

    A second car bomb exploded a few hours later, killing 14 and injuring at least 164.


    Who is terrorizing these Muslim pilgrims?

    Mormons, perhaps?

    Though that seems unlikely.

    ASh, there is some truth to what you say, but you will not find many on this blog that say one thing in one room and another in the next. It is best to have the courage that goes with conviction.

    Yeah, Big Guy, I tried posting numerous times recently. You dudes keep taking down all my comments – so much for man to man.

    Yeah, you are willing do the high noon shootout as long as you control the delete and rewind buttons and hold all the ammo. You are gutless.

    I will, as the occasion arises, make you and your neo-Nazi site appear to be what you are. The guys at the BC get it. Others will as well.

    And hey, whit, every time you let some comrade talk about incinerating Jews, you show the world what a worm you are… ditto for allowing a midget to insult US Army Rangers.

    Pat Tillman was NOT murdered and only a bunch of psychos would “think” so.

    Oh, it’s still Israel 13 and Otherwise 0.

    As to “poor” bob, since I did not lead him on, I need not defend myself against additional tripe. You folks did lead him on and had a gay old time with him for days. Indeed, without bob, you would have had nothing to say. I think bob an incestuous rapist. Had you read what I wrote more closely, you would have known that weeks ago.

  87. No one has taken you down. This one will stay for sure.

  88. allen, you've been censored here, really (aside from that one time when our exchange went in the bin)? I would be surprised if true.

    As far as I can see just bob's lunatic ramblings have bit the dust.

  89. When did anyone talk about incinerating Jews, other than the fallout from WiO's Mecca nuke?

  90. Allen, you sound like your soul brother Congressman Cohen in equating this site as neo-nazi. Thats is rubbish and you will not find one post that is pro fascist, nazi supporting, nazi sympathetic, or anti Jewish.

    When Steve Cohen was called on his slander, as he was at this site, he backed off a country mile and apologized. At least he had the dignity and intellectual honesty to retract his foolishness. He did the manly thing over his hyperbole

    I do not expect those traits from you, however is I am wrong and you will do the honerable thing, you can post your apology here.

  91. There were some comments over the years that were vile anti-Jewish rubbish. Whit and I took them down, but don't allow facts to muddle your opinions Allen, we may not recognize you.

  92. Ash is correct, there were some hurtful and insulting remarks you made about Whit that I took down.

    When I can control the laughter long enough to type, I may not respond to this outright lie. You and Whit did take me down repeatedly. Anyone at this site with a single synapse knows that. Even Ash had questions.

    Again, it does not take much for an armed man to take down an unarmed opponent. There will be no debates here where you girls can delete at will.

  94. Sorry Allen, no arms here, only wits and argued positions. Perhaps that does handicap you since you are armed with neither.

  95. Allen's comments were deleted one time, weeks and weeks ago. I have not deleted any of his comments since those posted on the day it was announced that the last of US combat troops left Iraq. After he had harangued me for a week, he left for a while, came back and posted to his heart's content.

    I believe Allen has behaved very poorly.

    Your memory is sadly flawed. On the day Iraqi operations were allegedly halted, you took down ONE of my comments to Ash. I demanded for days to know the reason. You responded by asking Quirk and DR to give the "bird". How old are you?

    On a recent day, six of my comments were deleted in chronological succession. That is a provable fact, Jack. If you didn't, then someone else did.

    Check that and I think you will discover who has been behaving very badly, Old Man.

  97. I demanded for days to know the reason.

    Yes, you did, very rudely for over a week as I recall.

    I will look in the spam filter to see if your posts have been deleted. Deuce mentioned that he deleted some that weren't very polite. I don't know anything about that.

    I would add though, that, given the tone and tenor you have adopted, why would you expect your ruder posts not to be deleted?

    Jes askin'.

  98. We have over 200,000 comments and going back through the last 1000 I can't find your deleted comments.

    Blogger sometimes rejects/does not accept a comment. Sometimes it prompts you to repost a comment and you wind up with multiple entries of the same thing.

    All I can tell you is that I have not been deleting your comments no matter how hateful.

    Let me see if I get your drift: I post a non-profane comment to Ash, which you apparently didn't like. Consequently, you deleted it. On three occasions, I recall asking you repectfully your reason for censorship, something unheard of until then. When you decided to hide and ignore my legitimate complaints, I whipped you like a cur.

    Re: Deuce mentioned that he deleted some that weren't very polite. I don't know anything about that.

    Yeah, like I thought: the hustle. You punks talk about man-to-man...give me a break...


    Re: hateful

    Dear Sir,
    Calling someone a "motherfucking, cocksucking, asshole, piece of shit etc is hateful - Dimwit...give me a break, Punk...You havent' the hormones to clean up this mess.

    End of conversation, Clown

  100. You have so much anger, rage and suspicion.

    Why don't you stay away? Huh? Just keep on walking. Obviously, it's not good for your health. In fact, it would be good for your nerves if you take a break from blogging for a while. It can't be relaxing for you anymore. Take a break, think about what you have done, the way you are behaving. Find some perspective. Get a life.

  101. Whit forget it. He has nothing to say that is interesting or worth your listening. He never has.

    He has honed his ability to bore without ever having taught anyone anything except the burden of bad company. He is irritating but intellectualy harmless. He gives a bad name to his fellow twerps.

  102. Really, can you imagine being stuck on an eight hour flight next to Allen?
