Boycotting Basketball
I propose that the “sport” of basketball be banned from play at all government-sponsored facilities as being an activity that actively promotes class warfare, hate speech, and blatant discrimination.
Examples: Look at the term “Shoot the Ball.” It clearly refers to violent crime as applied to inner city disadvantage youth and minority issues. Worse, the phrase perpetuates the country’s irrational love of firearms and the culture of gun violence and racial intolerance. Likewise, with the term “steal the ball.”
A Remarkable Book: The Matchlock Gun by Walter Edmunds
I read a remarkable book yesterday. It is called “The Matchlock Gun,” and was written by a guy named Walter Edmunds. It was awarded “The American Library Associations’ Most Distinguished Contribution to Children’s Literature,” in 1941. It is an illustrated kids book, written at about the 4th grade level. Imagine, a kids’ book about a GUN.
It gets better.
Mr. Edmunds was a Harvard Grad, and probably his most famous work was “Drums Along the Mohawk.” It was made into a pretty good old black and white movie with Henry Fonda.
Cows Go Moooo
Did you see on the news about the woman in Minnesota who was being taken to court because her cow Wally mooed too much? Some total moron DA and cop gave her a ticket for her cow mooing excessively and chose to take her to trial. The news got ahold of the story and pretty soon Wally’s pasture was ringed with camera crews and the neighbor who filed the complaint was in hiding. After about three weeks of media circus the prosecutor dropped the case. No doubt his boss said “you freakin moron we don’t need this kind of publicity in our lives” The guy actually documented that they were dropping the case for lack of evidence. Lets see, he didn’t have evidence that “The Cow Goes Moooo” Maybe we should send him one of those pull and play toys. Freakin Barney Fifes of the world. The kicker was Wally absolutely refused to moo on camera. gotta love it.
Ragnar’s Thoughts on AZ Immigration & Scooter
The Arizona Governor just signed a law that says any business caught with an illegal alien in its employ will have its business license suspended. If a second offense should occur, the business license will be PERMANENTLY revoked. Guess what? If every state follows Arizona’s lead, the illegal immigration issue is over. You don’t even need a fence. It is a classic solution, follow the money, cut off the money supply, and the problem ceases to exist. The end, Fini, so long and thanks for all the fish, goodbye.
The Fallacy of Diversity
OK, I know that here in our politically correct utopia the concept of a diverse workforce is one of our most dearly held sacraments. No matter what business one finds oneself in, If Mr./Ms. One hires minority candidates from every remote corner of the world, the business will just naturally run better because of the “diverse” collection of ideas/cultures/experiences/ blah blah blahs assembled.
The company that I work for has embraced this philosophy whole hog. In fact, they would rather go to Pakistan to bring in a minority candidate with the English speaking ability of Cousin It than to hire a white boy who grew up down the block from the corporate headquarters and spent his summers playing on the company-sponsored little league team and got his first piece of tail from the foreman’s daughter at the company picnic.
