Mind numbing news events you may have missed
Like the state run liberal media in Washington, we reserve the same right to misinterpret, rearrange or make snide comments. An article in The Wall Street Journal in Feb. said, “Record numbers of high school students are taking and passing Advanced Placement exams, but a rising percentage are scoring at the lowest level possible ...” We think that’s a positive development. Lower scoring should lead to fewer teenage pregnancies. Schools should promote lower scoring instead of distributing contraceptives.
Prime example of wasted money, government animal experts studying the gorilla species wondered why they had such large nostrils. After a lengthy investigation they concluded it was because gorillas have such large fingers.
Another study by a team of government scientists investigating the despicable manners and poor etiquette of most Americans, strongly endorsed an increase in human bacteria, reasoning that it’s the only culture many people will ever have.
“Inflation made here in the U.S. is very, very low,” said Ben Bernake, Federal Reserve Chairman before the House Budget Committee, defending the Fed’s pumping money into the economy (at record levels). Gee Ben, the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale again too. Examples of “no” inflation (forgetting gasoline for a moment): the USDA reported that corn supplies for food will fall to a record low due to increased ethanol production. Corn futures are up 97 percent since June 2010 (wheat up 107 percent, soybeans up 56 percent). Ethanol uses up 40 percent of all corn grown! Why is ethanol production increasing? Believe it or not, to export to foreign countries. Obama’s Secretary of Agriculture said the ethanol industry’s appetite for corn shouldn’t raise food costs. Another Brooklyn Bridge! Tell that to a family buying breakfast food. We can’t eat ethanol because it’s fertilized with B.S. from Washington. Take the ban off oil drilling and let us eat the corn.
In the sewage treatment business there’s an old saying, “The good news is, the effluent coming out of our sewage plant is good enough to drink. The bad news is there’s just not enough to go around.” And that’s the new motto of the food industry Obamacare and the spread-the-wealth agenda. Trouble is, like effluent there isn’t enough of my money to go around any more.
Good news of the week, especially for Scottish people. A Scottish deer hound won the Best of Show in the Westminster Kennel Club in N.Y. Hickory, the 85 pound five year old champion is tall enough to stand up on her hind legs and kiss a seven foot NBA basketball player on the lips. She is the first of her breed to win the award and was lauded by Italian judge Paolo Dondina who said, “This animal is like the heavens. It’s not of this world.” On hearing the judge’s evaluation, Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi was inaccurately reported by liars in the media to have expressed a variation of the old question about “What does a Scottsman wear under his kilt,” by asking, “What does a Scottswoman wear under her quilt?” The 74 year old Premier is accused of shacking up with a 17 year old prostitute. Jealous women all over Italy are rioting in the streets. Silvio denies the charges and reportedly said, “I can’t help it if women are attracted to me,” proving that spaghetti and Viagra are a good combination.
Well, that’s all the news that’s unfit to print.
