My Take...

by MC

So now that the Thanksgiving Holiday has passed, I was wondering how the First Family, including Moochelle's mother, Grandma Moocher, celebrated the holiday. I am sure, with Moochelle's strict war on obesity, it must have been a very low cal dinner. I mean, after all her preaching, I know that she would want to set the example. And with many American's suffering trying to find work to feed their family, I know they wouldn't want to go overboard. So let's see what the Official White House Menu was for the Low Cal First Family.

Arafat's remains scheduled for exhumation Bone samples will be given to Swiss, French, Russian experts for analysis

"I predict they will find that he has indeed died". MC

(Associated Press) The remains of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat will be exhumed Tuesday as part of a renewed investigation into his death, a Palestinian investigator said Saturday.
Arafat died in November 2004 in a French military hospital, a month after suddenly falling ill. Palestinian officials claim he was poisoned by Israel, but have not presented evidence. Israel has denied such allegations.
Earlier this year, the detection of a lethal radioactive substance in biological traces on Arafat’s clothing sparked a new investigation. Tests were inconclusive, and experts said they need to check his remains to learn more.

The Politically Correct Guide to Racism for Idiots

Conservatives may be unaware that the Democrat Party has passed new legislation redefining the rules of logic and political discourse regarding racism. For those who have grown used to such concepts as “hypocrisy,” and “logical inconsistency,” they need to eliminate these from their thinking and vocabulary.
Everyone must get hip to the new rules of civility and tolerance, or else face serious penalties. The following are some examples that should get you racist wingnuts up to speed on the “New Discourse.”

Clear cases of Racism against Black Democrats:

• Criticizing President Obama’s ineptitude

Obamacare Meets Reality. Reality Wins.

For years the Democrat party has derided the GOP’s view of economics. Our view, essentially, is that your money is yours, not the government’s, and the decisions you make on how to spend it will inevitably be more lucid than anything the government comes up with. The corollary to this is that income redistribution is nothing more or less than theft which characterizes garden variety covetousness as fairness. They call this “trickle down” economics.
The Democrats have their own operating principle: Cargo cult economics. It has many facets but the basis

Does Evil Exist ? (To you)

The failure to believe in the existence of evil does not protect you from it.

Do you believe in the existence of evil?

Whether or not you believe in the existence of God in whatever form of reflection He might, or might not, take in your life.   Do you believe in evil?  Is there a Ying -to universal- Yang?   Is there an inherent opposite of intrinsic Good?   Do you believe in a universal struggle between light and dark?
Do you believe in “freewill” from either an evolutionary or theological standpoint?
Why, in the broader sense, is the following statement true:

If you were to write a goal on the top of a piece of paper, then divide the page into two columns, on one side list “reasons I will succeed”, the other side list “reasons I could fail”, why is it easier to fill out the list on the “fail” side of the page?

 

16 Year Old Shot In Face DEAD – Reasoning: “She was in the wrong place at the wrong time”…. FYI – For Clarity She Was Not Travelling In Fallujah or Benghazi….

According to the following CBS report 16-year-old Taylor Fitting was riding in the backseat of a friends vehicle.   They were travelling, near home, while in a city with a comprehensive handgun ban.  At 10:30pm, as their car slowed to drive over a speed bump, a group of Teens shot into the car hitting Ms. Fitting in the face and killing her.

CBS reports “she was in the wrong place at the wrong time“….

Perhaps I am reading too much into the official explanation, but: Given the potential for DEATH by bullet -

"THE SCARIEST PRESENTATION EVER": The Economic Endgame Hits Within 12 Months

Tyler Durden introduces what he calls "The Scariest Presentation Ever" with a single paragraph:

If Raoul Pal was some doomsday spouting windbag, writing in all caps, arbitrarily pasting together disparate charts to create 200 page slideshows, it would be easy to ignore him. He isn't. The founder of Global Macro Investor "previously co-managed the GLG Global Macro Fund in London for GLG Partners, one of the largest hedge fund groups in the world. Raoul came to GLG from Goldman Sachs where he co-managed the hedge fund sales business in Equities and Equity Derivatives in Europe... Raoul Pal retired from managing client money in 2004 at the age of 36 and now lives on the Valencian coast of Spain, from where he writes." It is his writing we are concerned about, and specifically his latest presentation, which is, for lack of a better word, the most disturbing and scary forecast of the future of the world we have ever seen... And we see a lot of those.
