Well, if you are the CEO of British Petroleum, you go sailing.

If you are  the President of The United States, possessing absolutely zero experience in managing large enterprises, you go golfing.  

What’s the message to the Gulf Coast, now reeling under both an environmental and economic disaster?

“Go fuck yourselves”.

Helen Thomas is a complete and absolute bitch.  Her comments that Jews should just go home to Poland and Germany are despicable and anti-Semitic.  Her pathetic “statement of regret” is entirely inadequate.

Imagine if she had said that all blacks should go home to Africa?

Do like I did and demand her Press Credentials be revoke.  You can go to www.whitehouse.gov to send a message to Barack Obama.  Here is what I sent:

I demand, on behalf of all decent Americans, that the White House Press Credentials of Helen Thomas be immediately revoked as the result of her comments that Israeli Jews should "go home" to Poland and Germany.

Her comments are anti-Semitic, racist, and totally deplorable.  Her "statement of regret" is completely and totally inadequate.

Had she suggested that blacks should go home to Africa, your reaction would have been visceral.

O’Guvnah and O’Grasmick love to tout the study that shows Maryland public schools are ranked best in the nation.  They love to tout the alleged outcomes from all the new spending over the last decade on public schools as proof that the largest problems with public education are funding.  But what they don’t tell you is this:  Maryland public schools do not prepare Maryland students for college.

In the March 2010 issue of the Faculty Voice, Professor Jerome Dancis of the University of Maryland College Park campus lays out that the fact that Maryland public schools are not preparing Maryland students to succeed on University of Maryland System campuses.

Turkey is a nation that was founded in the aftermath of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire from the ashes of World War I.  Kemal Mustafa Attaturk, while not exactly the “George Washington” of Turkey (more like a successful Jefferson Davis), founded a secular republic that sought to impose a secular governmental structure in reaction to the Islamist excesses of the Ottoman rulers.  And for almost seventy-five years, that structure held—sometimes imposed through occasional the military, who is empowered by Turkey’s constitution to preserve the secular structure.

That was until the election of Recep Erdogan, whose Islamist extremism has been coming to light of late.  Turkey had long had very positive relations with Israel, and was known for very good treatment of its native Jews.  In fact, Turkey had been a safe smuggling route for European Jews trying to bypass the British blockade of Palestine during Hitler’s genocidal “Final Solution”.

I hate the notion of “hate crimes”.  Aren’t all crimes an act of hate?  I am not trying to sound all hippy here, but really, if you commit a crime against someone, that is hardly an act of love.  And since you are actively doing something, a crime is hardly an act of indifference (although indifference can sometimes be a crime).  So a crime is an act of hate.

But in its collective “wisdom”, our Federal government has deigned that when a criminals motivation is based on certain thoughts and feelings, the penalty for that crime should be enhanced.  So, if you kill a person because of the color of their skin, that is a “hate crime”, and the penalty can be enhanced.  Or if you assault a person because of who they have sexual relations with, that is a “hate crime”.

So why don’t we consider crimes against a person based on their religious convictions (or lack thereof) ?  Like when Islamists kill Jews?  Or Christians?  Or Buddhists?  Why aren’t honor killings prosecuted as hate crimes?  Why isn’t female genital mutilation?  Or compulsory child marriage?

If the motivations of a criminal based on the race or sexual orientation of the victim are reasonable grounds for sentencing enhancement, then why aren’t the religious motivations of the criminal?

The latest incident involving dirt bikes in Baltimore City – which are no more legal than hand guns – is absolutely appalling.  Coming just weeks after a pack of dirt bikers terrorized the Fells Point area, the dirt bikers are nothing more than a gang of thugs with no respect for the law.  But who can really blame them, since the law does nothing.  It’s no surprise that these thugs decided to “double up” on their victim of mayhem.

It’s one of the reason I keep a tire iron under the front seat.

Dirt bikes are outlawed in Baltimore City, but Baltimore City Police are prohibited by policy from chasing them.  That’s right.  The Baltimore City Police cannot go after people breaking the law.  Whoever started this silly policy should be thrown in the harbor tied to a heavy concrete block.

But Fred Bealefeld needs to step up and change the policy.  He needs to tell his commanders to get far more aggressive in both finding these punks AND catching these punks.  It’s time for Baltimore’s top cop to get his head out of his ass and get it in the game.  

So a Boy Scout, the Pope, and President Obama are riding on Air Force One back from a meeting with the Russians, when terrorists masquerading as Russian journalists hijack the plane and kill all the Secret Service Agents.

The Boy Scout, the Pope, and the President are standing on the back cargo door, and the wind is howling, and the President realizes there are only two parachutes.  He turns to the Boy Scout and the Pope, adjusts his portable teleprompter,  and he says:

“I… am… the most important man in the world.  I am the first black President. The sweet dulcet tones have entranced an entire nation – no, an entire world – in a way that no one has since that commercial with the song “I’d like to buy the world a coke”.  I am the smartest black man that has ever lived, because I fooled—oops, I convinced – an entire nation to elect me to the most powerful office in free world, despite the fact that I had less experience than little Polly Prissy Pants running her lemonade stand.”

“Some may say I am being selfish.  They would cry out No!  No to change, no to hope, no to the future.  But I can not let it be.  I must have one of these parachutes.”

With that, the President grabs a parachute off the floor, puts it on, and jumps out the back of the plane.

The Pope turns to the Boy Scout and says, “Young man, you are the future.  You have a long life ahead of you.  You take the second parachute.”

The Boy Scout turns to the Pope, and says, “Your Holiness, let not your heart be troubled.  The smartest black man that ever lived just took my rucksack.”
