Wars and Rumors

Obamanana

Obama, at White House Summit on Countering Extremism and Radicalization: “If we’re going to prevent people from being susceptible to the false promises of extremism, than the international community has to offer something better. The United States intends to do its part. We will keep promoting development and growth that is broadly shared so more people can provide for their families. We’ll keep leading a global effort against corruption because the culture of the bribe had to be replaced by good governance that doesn’t favor certain groups over others. Countries have to truly invest in the education and skills and job training that our extraordinary young people need. By the way, that’s boys and girls and men and women because countries will not be truly successful if half their populations are denied opportunity.”

"State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf suggested that 'we cannot kill our way to victory' against ISIS on MSNBC last night. This flies in the face of literally the entirety of human history, through which, time and again, we have seen people killing other people lead to victory in armed combat.

"But her dorm-room philosophizing did get me thinking. What if Marie Harf had access to a time machine? How would she have solved the world’s military conflicts?" [Funny graphics]

Animal Companions

Dog

"He stood there and barked a little bit, then I rolled down my window and called to him. Then he wagged his tail and got more friendly until I got out of my car. And then he ran a little bit…" John Boy led the officer up the street to a house where his owner, Krystal, was unresponsive… "To be honest with you, I thought she was dead. And when I went up, she was very cold to the touch; her lips were blue. But I was able to determine she was breathing and had a pulse. I called for assistance and my partner was close. So together we got her in the house…."

Opposing Tyranny

Crazyface

About 1,400 years ago a mentally ill illiterate desert dweller, a Jew-hater suffering from auditory hallucinations, dictated a best seller entitled “The Holy Quran”. Out of this book came a tyrannical political system and a fanatical religious ideology called Islam. The word Islam means “submission”. The Quran also produced a brutal legal system called the Sharia. Since the author of the Quran, a blood thirsty rapist, pedophile and slave owner named Muhammad, first began his homicidal mission – to force the unbeliever to submit to Islam – approximately 270,000,000 people have been killed in his name.
