Happy Hour Drink Specials

Lawman of the Year recipient and former Arapahoe County (CO) Sheriff Patrick Sullivan Jr. was arrested for exchanging sexual favors for methamphetamine.  Ironically he is being held jail named after him.  In related news Michele Bachmann continues to deny rumors that her real birth name is Alcatraz
In Massachusetts a 1st grader could be facing possible sexual assault charge for allegedly striking another student in the groin in self-defense.  If a shot to the balls is considered sexual assault, then we may have found something to charge Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and others for what they did to the country.
Rumors circulating that upon exiting bankruptcy restructuring American Airlines may merge with US Airways because combining two steaming piles of dog crap is how you make a diamond.
Bachmann and Gingrich have been exchanging some shots lately about each other’s various challenges.  Though I would step into the fray with some GOP candidate challenges:
Gingrich is ethically challenged
Bachmann is factually challenged
Romney is personality challenged
Cain is credibility challenged
Paul is reasonability challenged
Perry is intellectually challenged
Huntsman is desirability challenged
If the employment numbers and GDP continue to move in the right direction, what will the Republicans hit President Obama with now that the kitchen sink is no longer in the arsenal?  Some will go birther, some will go anti-Israel, they’ll say he golfs too much, hell they’ll probably say he is a bad father. 
Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann both support the deportation of New York restaurant owner Babu Bhat, in a joint statement:  “Mr. Baht  is a very very bad man who may be connected to the Haqqani Network.”

This just in:  On December 27th, Donald trump will be hosting a forum in Des Moines for the Republican Presidential Candidates to be aired on the Ion network, whatever the hell that is.  Some immediate thoughts:
·         Douchebag candidates being moderated by an asshole (thanks Mr. AZModerate) brought to you by Massengill and Preparation H.
·         Please pretty please include Gary Busey
·         When do we expect the Sarah Palin Freedom Loving Family Values Debate?
·         ION network?  I just figured out where to find Versus.  Seems like Comedy Central would be more fitting.
·         The GOP has finally jumped the shark.
·         If you can’t buy an election, buy a debate.
·         Will he ask to see everyone’s birth certificate?

A Secular American Jew and a Love for Israel

As many of you know, I have dedicated many postings to the State of Israel on a range of topics including: it’s history, the present day government, the Jewish-Palestinian question, and the region in general.   Growing up in a liberal conservative Jewish household (the oxymoron is quite common as American Jews were almost exclusively political liberals and the conservative branch of Judaism the most common) and attending Hebrew school as a kid you obviously build an affinity for the State of Israel.   I do not remember the Six-Day War of 1967, but I have vivid memories of celebrating Israel’s 25 th anniversary in 1973 and the Yom Kippur War later that year.   As a ten year old attending Yom Kippur services I saw the worried looks on my parents and the other adults at the shul as members of the congregation would periodically step outside to get news reports from car radios and transistor radios (We still drove and used electrical appliances during the high holidays, though several fam

September 10, 2001 was a Monday

Where were you on September 10, 2001?   What were you worried about?   What occupied your thoughts, worries, hopes, and dreams?   What were you excited about?   What were you interested in? September 10, 2001 was a Monday. Cindy and I were still laughing about the recent visit from the Three Amigas: Leah, Roseanne, and Valerie, and the adventures of Sedona, a certain screen door, a forgotten carrot cake, and breakfast for champions.   We were also dealing with a 1995 Chevy Blazer that seemed to be on its last legs, surviving our first Arizona summer, thinking about what to remodel in the house, dealing with the concept of a Home Owners Association, thinking that my best shot at a World Series game maybe with the fledgling Arizona Diamondbacks, and looking forward to a visit from Scott, Lori, and the boys. But what about America?   We knew nothing about a tiny town in Pennsylvania called Shanksville; Guantanamo Bay was the setting for A Few Good Men, and we still taped shows and listene

Sunni and Shia: So who are the bad guys again?

Baby faces vs. heals?   Cowboys vs Indians?   Good guy always where the white hat.   “Dig is he a good guy or bad guy?”   Bad guys always, looked, well, bad. You’re either with us or you’re against us.   Iraq, Iran, and North Korea are the axis of evil. Americans, for the most part, have a pretty simple outlook on conflict: just tell us who the bad guys are and we’ll know who to root against.   We tend to lump similar races and peoples into larger buckets, mostly due to the media’s inclination to treat us like potential Jeff Foxworthy competitors.   But the world is anything but simple and as I have written previously, the Middle East is as confusing and confounding place as you can find.   During the Iran and Iraq war of the 1980’s most Americans took the position that “…as long as they kill each other, I’m good.”   When civil war ravaged Afghanistan, we joined the side of the Mujahedeen because they were fighting the Soviets and the Soviets were our archenemy, a position they occupie
