Defeat your enemies or coddle them... And who are my enemies? A perfect example of the inner liberal conflict.

A sweet little girl runs out to the backyard where her father is
working, and asks him, "Daddy, what's sex?"

So, her father sits her down, and tells her all about the birds and
the bees.

He tells her about conception, sexual intercourse, sperm and eggs etc.

He tells her about puberty, menstruation, men and women and love...

He thinks what the hell, and tells her the works, thinking that to
tell it all is the only way to tell truth.

The girl is somewhat awe struck with this sudden influx of bizarre new
knowledge, and her father finally asks, "So why did you wish to know
about sex?"

"Oh, mommy said lunch would be ready in a couple of secs..."

During WW II an American soldier had been on the front lines in Europe
for three months, when he was finally given a week of R&R. He caught a
supply boat to a supply base in the south of England, then caught a
train to London. The train was extremely crowded and he could not find
a seat. He was dead on his feet and walked the length of the train
looking for any place to sit down.
Finally he found a compartment with seats facing each other; there was
room for two people on each seat. On one side sat only a proper looking,
older British lady, with a small dog sitting in the empty seat beside her.
"Could I please sit in that seat?" he asked.
The lady was insulted. "You bloody Americans are so rude", she said,
"can't you see my dog is sitting there"?
He walked through the train once more and still could not find a seat.
He found himself back at the same place.
"Lady I love dogs - have a couple at home - so I would be glad to hold
your dog if I can sit down", he said.
The lady replied, "You Americans are not only rude you are arrogant".
He leaned against the wall for a time, but was so tired he finally
said,
"Lady, I've been on the front lines in Europe for three months with
not a decent rest for all that time. Could I please sit there and hold your
dog?"
The lady replied, "You Americans are not only rude and arrogant, you
are also obnoxious."
With that comment, the soldier calmly stepped in, picked up the dog,
threw it out the window, and sat down.
The lady was speechless.
An older, neatly dressed Englishman sitting across on the other seat
spoke up. "Young man, I do not know if all you Americans fit the
lady's description of you or not. But I do know that you Americans do a lot
of things wrong. You drive on the wrong side of the road, you hold your
fork with the wrong hand, and now you have just thrown the wrong bitch out
of the window."

Electric Train
A few days after Christmas, a mother was working in the kitchen listening to her young son playing with his new electric train in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son said, "All of you sons of bitches who want off, get the hell off now, cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of bitches who are getting on, get your asses in the train, cause we're going down the tracks."

The mother went nuts and told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language."

Two hours later, the son comes out of the bedroom and resumes playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, "All passengers who are disembarking from the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon." She hears the little boy continue, "For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today."

As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the bitch in the kitchen."

Lethal Food
A dietician was once addressing a large audience in Chicago.

"The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.

Red meat is awful. Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of us realises the germs in our drinking water.

But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all eat it. Can anyone here tell me what lethal product I'm referring to?"

"You, sir, in the first row, please give us your idea."

The man lowered his head and said, "Wedding cake."

The little girl puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice: "I don't fink my pyfon really giveths a thit."

Shakespeare is quite right.

This "working-day world" is "full of briers" if you happen to work for any company that is receiving more than $5 billion in bailout money, live in a household that happens to earn more than $250,000 in income and have the bad luck of getting any kind of bonus from that company, since that bonus will now be swiped from you at a 90% tax rate.

I was cruising around Democratic Underground earlier, and watching the cope with the crush of cognitive dissonence on issue after issue is pure comedy. The modern day liberal has grown quite adept at constructing a framework for how the world operates and then fitting everything into that framework. When something comes along that doesn't fit, their mind whirls.

- On political corruption: Framework - Repugs are evil and corrupt. Reality - both parties have their share, and oh by the way, the Left is up to their eyeballs in it, and even the MSM can't divert our attention away from it.

- On political incompetence: Framework - Democrats only need control of things to make a better functioning system and world. Reality - OMFG! Look at these guys run amok! This is gonna hurt us in '12!

- On the environment: Framework - Alt. energy is the best thing since sliced bread and will save the earth. Reality - OMG! You mean solar and wind farms gobble up thousands of acres of land to be anything close to viable? And a nuke plant sits on 2 sq miles only?! Ummm... i don't know man.. hand me the bong.. this hurts my head!

- on homosexuality: Framework - We're born gay! Realty - What do you mean there's a new trend of women taking up w/ other women after years of being married! How can that be?!

The Obama administration will call for increased oversight of executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies as part of a plan to overhaul financial regulation, the New York Times reported.

Obama is expected to announce the plan, which officials said would include a broad new role for the Fed to oversee large companies, ahead of the G-20 summit in early April.

I've been a little light on the posting here tonight, because I'm putting the finishing touches on my blog post for tomorrow.

It's basically a list of various videos, books and magazines (all available online for free) from which I've learned valuable lessons, have been strongly influenced by, and have a strong sense of nostalgia for the times I first enjoyed them.

It was a hard post to write, not only because it's so long and there was so much to try and find online (especially considering I was trying to find free versions of all these resources), but because they all reminded me of happy times in my past life. I'd start focusing on the old days, and I'd have to keep dragging myself back to the present so I could finish the post!

I was cruising around Democratic Underground earlier

the crush of cognitive dissonence

I was bemused with one particular article there on DU yesterday where some democrats were busted vote fixing in Kentucky.. but since it was a red state (GOP) the pig pile commenced on the right wing.

One poster tried to alert everyone it was a scumbucket democrat scam but no one cared. Blood was in the water in a GOP state...

[Link: www.democraticunderground.com...]

Is there some sort of vote stealing protocol I am missing? The Dems are NOTORIOUS for scams, tricks and theft with elections but here they are all pious with a flagrant disregard for the obvious truth.

re: #141 talon_262
I used to read about LGF and the comments said it was a hate site, so I avoided it for a long time... then one day a friend challeged me to read the comments...
Well it is obvious that the argument that LGF is a hate site is down right false.

Why did Werner Heisenberg hate driving cars?
Because, every time he looked at the speedometer he got lost!

Why did the chicken cross the road?
Werner Heisenberg: "We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was
on, but it was moving very fast."

I do not know what is wrong with Heisenberg. He seems so sure of himself
lately.

Historians have concluded that W.Heisenberg must have been contemplating
his love life when he discovered the Uncertainty Principle:
-When he had the time,he didn't have the energy
and,
-When the moment was right,he couldn't figure out the position...

Werner Heisenberg developed the Uncertainty principle – In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that certain physical quantities, like the position and momentum, cannot both have precise values at the same time. The narrower the probability distribution for one, the wider it is for the other.

Rene Descartes was sitting at a bar. The bartender came over and asked if
he would like another drink. He replied, "I think not." And he vanished.

Heisenburg was also sitting at the bar. After Descartes vanished in a puff
of smoke, the bartender walked over to him and asked, "Did you see that?"
To which Heisenberg replied, "I can't be certain."

The bartender then noticed Einstein was there. So he asked him if he could
believe what had happened. Einstein replied, "It's all relative."

Then the bartender noticed that Carl Sagan was there. He walked over to
him and asked, "Can you believe that all these famous people are here in
THIS bar?" Sagan replied, "No. Why there must be BILLIONS and BILLIONS of
bars out there."

The bartender asked Georg Ohm what had happened, but Ohm resisted giving
any answer.

Meanwhile, Gustav Hertz was having such a great time, that he promised to
return in the future at a much greater frequency.

Robert Boyle commented that he thought everyone was under too much pressure
to come up with an answer to what was happening.

Erwin Schroedinger tried to explain that in the absence of an observer,
Decartes left but at the same time did not leave.

But Alexander Volta disagreed stating there was a potential difference
between his staying or going.

James Watt had had a bad day and said he had come in just to let off a
little steam.

Charles Darwin refused to take a stand on the days events as he was waiting
to see what would evolve.

Thomas Edison stated that he found the whole thing illuminating.

Andre Ampere helped the bartender ascertain that all the statements
were kept current.

Eli Whitney said, "I believe I will have another gin."

Sir Isaac Newton pondered the gravity of the situation.

Robert Goddard said the situation was not rocket science.
