New Math

I went to Wal-Mart Sunday and gave the cashier (an adult woman) a coupon for some frozen dinners that were advertised as "5 for $10."  She looked at it for a few seconds and then said, "I have to ring them up separately.  How much is that each?"  I suppose I should have told her $1.25.  She wouldn't have known any difference. 

Do they not teach ANYTHING in school anymore?

Foreign Aid

Some Pakastani government blowhard is promising to respond with "full force" if the U.S. carries out any military action within his country's borders again.  Fair enough.  But about those foreign aid checks we send to Pakistan, including over $1-billion a year to "fight terrorism"...  let's just stop payment on the last one we sent and not send any more in the future.  Our deficit is at an alltime high - we're broke.  Let's use our tax dollars on something more important.

George Bush Did It

OK, so Osama Bin Laden is dead.  President Barrack Hussen Obama apparently gave the go ahead for our military forces to finish off the rag-headed bastard.  Good job.  However, for the past 2-1/2 years, everything that's happened in Obama's administration has been blamed on George Bush.  But you don't hear his name now.

TSA Idiots

Going through security in Newport News, Virginia, I handed the TSA agent my boarding pass and my new Passport Card.  He'd apparently never seen one before and didn't know what to make of it.  "Do you have a driver's license?", he asked.  "I do, but that is a U.S. Government issued photo ID, it should be sufficient", I said. "I need to see your driver's license", he said. I could have argued further, but I've found that's it's pointless to argue with TSA agents.  They're all idiots.
