MICHIGAN:  THE GREAT LAKE STATE


A View From Michigan

 

 
 

        Global Warming:

        This view from Michigan is ticked off.  It is nearly June and my furnace is still running.  Where is all this "global warming I keep hearing about?  Why is it only the polar bears are getting some of it?  Speaking of polar bears, I was watching a show about two of these critters.  A brother/sister combo traveling in different circles after leaving Mom's ice cave.  The male was a nice, healthy, fat bear.  He knew where to go to find the seals and all kinds of snacks to keep him fat.  His sister, however, was not so smart.  She went to where there didn't seem to be any food.  No seals, no small whales trapped in the ice...nothing.  In fact, she was sort of stupid.  Instead of leaving that area and going to where the food actually was, she just keep looking where the food was not.  They lost track of her but she was in a pitiful state when last seen and they presumed she had died of starvation.  Now this retarded bear didn't die because of global warming, melting ice packs or anything like that.  She died because she was to stupid to find food.  Her brother, who was MUCH smarter, did very well and probably went on to pass his intelligent genes on to the next generation.  Yet, by the end of the program...you guessed it....evil MAN had killed this brainless female polar bear.  Global warming had killed this unfortunate bear who apparently was napping when Mom was teaching her brother how to hunt and where to hunt.

         Bottom line is this:  Nature has a way of weeding out the unacceptable and the stupid.  The burning question for me is why are Al Gore and Michael Moore still here?

         Hillary Clinton:

         As a card-carrying conservative Republican, I never dreamed that I would actually have any pity for Hillary.  I just never believed the opportunity would arise.  Yet, it has.  Barack Obama is so annoying with his arrogance and elitism that it is sickening.  He actually used a brushing motion indicating that he was brushing Hillary away like so much dandruff.  No wonder women are getting a little irritated with this jerk.  He doesn't know how to speak without looking down his nose at everyone around him and not because he is tall.  He reminds me of Howdy Doody...really.  I mentioned this to a few people I knew would remember Howdy (I'm dating myself, I know) and they literally squealed, "YES!"  So, when with them now, Barack is just "Howdy" to us.  Maybe it's the ears...or the sawdust in his head...not sure.  Make no mistake, I don't like Hillary's policies any more than I like Howdy's, but a little respect should be shown, even if it has to be faked.  You know, like most of what Obama says.  He's good at it.

         Obama and Foreign Policy:

         Meet with our enemies, kiss their butts, promise that we will not do anything to interrupt their plans of world domination, attacks on America, slaughtering their own citizens and exporting Islamic terrorism as long as they do it with a smile.  He really needs to know they are happy.  His comparisons to Reagan talking to the Soviets shows how truly stupid he is.  YEARS of talks between Reagan's underlings and their underlings took place first.  Then, we put missiles in Europe pointed right at them AND the old geezer running the country kicked the bucket and a smarter man took over.  THEN, when Reagan knew he had total control of the situation, the Soviets were broke, were terrified of Starwars, he met with Gorbie and got what he wanted.  The great one would NEVER have met with anyone unless he knew he was holding a royal flush.

         Comparing himself to JFK meeting with the Soviets:  A bigger joke, but more likely what would happen.  JFK rushed into a meeting with the Soviets, had no cards to play and looked weak and stupid to the Soviets.  So, they put missiles in Cuba, thinking Kennedy would do nothing about it.  They misjudged him, fortunately, but the end result was the closest thing to a nuclear exchange America and the Soviets would have in 50 years.  The only card we held was that the Soviets didn't want to take the chance that we would actually drop nukes on them.  They did not have a death wish.  The Iranian mullahs do.  They could care less if we nuke them.  In fact, that is what is needed to bring the missing Imam from the well to lead them to victory over the infidels.  That aside, does anyone think anyone is going to fear someone who looks like Howdy Doody?
