Humor – Lexophiles

A Lexophile is a person who loves words. Here are phrases 

– Police were called to a Day Care Center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

– You can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish.

– Writing with a broken pencil is pointless.

– When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

– A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.

– When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A. 

– The batteries were given out free of charge.

– A dentist and a manicurist married and fought tooth and nail.

– A will is a dead giveaway. 

– With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

– A boiled egg is hard to beat.

– When you’ve seen one Shopping Center you’ve seen a Mall.

– Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left side was  cut off? He’s all right now.

– A bicycle can’t stand alone; it is two tired.

– When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

– The person who fell onto an upholstery machine is now fully recovered.

– He had a photographic memory which was never developed.

– When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she’d dye.

– Acupuncture is a jab well done. That’s the point of it.

And finally 

– Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.

POLITICAL: Voting is a sham!

The Trump Card to Rig Elections
By Robert Willmann, Jr.
November 4, 2014

*** begin quote ***

The foundation for assuring the integrity of any system is auditing and cross-checking. For electronic voting machines, what about audits and recounts? The U.S. Congress put this in Title Three of HAVA, with its warm and reassuring caption, “Uniform and Nondiscriminatory Election Technology and Administration Requirements” –

“[Section 301(a)(2)]. Audit Capacity.

(A) In General. The voting system shall produce a record with an audit capacity for such system.

(B) Manual Audit Capacity.

(i) The voting system shall produce a permanent paper record with a manual audit capacity for such system.

(ii) The voting system shall provide the voter with an opportunity to change the ballot or correct any error before the permanent paper record is produced.

(iii) The paper record produced under subparagraph (A) shall be available as an official record for any recount conducted with respect to any election in which the system is used.” [1]

Read that carefully several times. A decent, trusting American might think that a paper ballot with the voter’s selections will be printed out, the voter will check it to be sure it matches what was selected on the electronic voting machine, and each ballot printed out will be kept by the election department so that a hand recount can be done to check the electronic results. But does it say that?

Notice the cunning wording. The “audit capacity” is for “such system” and not for each individual voter’s ballot. The paper record is for the whole system, meaning the vote totals as created by the electronic voting machines and tabulating computers. You get a printout of the computer’s totals. You do not get a printout of each ballot verified by each voter, to be saved locally for a real recount.

*** and ***

But hoping to use one of their two independent powers, people turning to the ballot box face the ultimate trump card.  Electronic voting machines.

Voters no longer mark their ballots.  Local election officials no longer count them.  Devices created and programmed in secret do it.  No recount is possible. Any fraud is undetectable.

*** end quote ***

Two quotes to remember about voting and elections:

“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.” ― Mark Twain

“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” — attributed to communist tyrant and mass murderer Josef Stalin

And, you expect me to “trust” the system!

Never mind that the “system” is structurally engineered to ensure that you only get to chose between large Gooferment and still larger Gooferment. 

(Ross Perot was a democratic operative running to split the republican vote (again).  He was campaigning on smaller Gooferment. He was on the verge of winning. He was being so competitive that he had to self-destruct the campaign to ensure the correct result. IMMEDIATELY, the two parties agreed to “reforms” that would prevent any challenge to the duopoly.

Even now, my beloved Libertarian Party, it financed by the D’s to split the R vote. As is the Green Party, which I regard as the Communist Party in disguise, is financed by the R’s to split the D vote.

Argh!

Secession. 

And a return to a truly representative republic.

On our way to a 100% voluntary society.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Police misconduct

*** begin quote ***

Everyone takes photos. The cell phone has opened a new era of fun for all. Many persons exchange nude pics of themselves. Not a good thing!

A young lady was arrested on a DUI charge in California. While being booked, a police officer went through her cell phone pics. He removed her nude pics. The cell phone had nothing to do with the charge or arrest. The police officer showed the pics to other police officers.

Turns out a number of police officers at the station did the same thing. They referred to it as a “game.” Another example of police power abuse.

*** end quote ***

Petrone, Louis S. “Key West Lou” (MC1957) is a fellow alum. 

A liberal lawyer.

It’s amazing to find him critical of the police.

In this case, this is police misconduct pure and simple.

Clearly, the search of the cell phones is a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Immediately, the cops should be dismissed.

As well as ALL of the immediate supervisors. (When I was on Wall Street, my people = my problem. I either knew and didn’t act or I didn’t know and should have. Both were equally bad. “bye bye. that’s for trying out with the varsity. U LOSE!)

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Elected Gooferment politicians = no pensions

Government Gold-Plating
By STEVE H. HANKE

*** begin quote ***

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) released his annual Wastebook this past week. It contains a laundry list of doozies. The U.S. government’s gold-plating operations included $190,000 to study compost digested by worms, $297 million for the purchase of an unused mega blimp, and $1 million on a Virginia bus stop where only 15 people can huddle under a half-baked roof. These questionable (read: absurd) expenditures only represent the tip of the iceberg.

Just consider the following: the Speaker of the House currently receives an annual salary of $223,500, and will receive a payment of roughly that amount, depending on the years of service, for life. An annual payment of this magnitude amounts to about five times the average annual wage in the United States. But that’s not all. For those who have had different positions in Congress, their retirements can be augmented. For example, Nancy Pelosi will not receive $223,500 for life, but roughly double that. Why? Because she is a member of Congress, currently the House of Representatives’ Minority Leader, and a retired Speaker of the House. For purposes of computing retirement pay, Congress adds and accumulates. They do not net.

*** end quote ***

Here’s an idea — and I’m just spitballing here — no pensions for elected Gooferment politicians. 

Ever.

And, hey, Gooferment bureaucrats, there’s this thing called an IRA!

Argh!

POLITICAL: EV-D68 enterovirus epidemic due to porous borders,

Obama’s Border Policy Fueled Epidemic, Evidence Shows
11:29 PM 10/31/2014

*** begin quote ***

The deadly EV-D68 enterovirus epidemic, which struck thousands of kids this fall, was likely propelled through America by President Barack Obama’s decision to allow tens of thousands of Central Americans across the Texas border, according to a growing body of genetic and statistical evidence.

The evidence includes admissions from top health officials that the epidemic included multiple strains of the virus, and that it appeared simultaneously in multiple independent locations.

The question can be settled if federal researchers study the genetic fingerprint of the EV-D68 viruses that first hit kids in Colorado, Missouri and Illinois to see if they are close relatives to the EV-D68 viruses found in Central America.

*** end quote ***

Anyone with an ounce of common sense could make this connection.

Throw in the failure to take common sense precautions with Ebola (i.e., restrict direct flights, mandatory quarantine, a creating a real Ebola Czar — not a political hack) and these hacks in office are either stupid or corrupt.

IF my child died as a result of EV-D68, there would be no hole deep enough for these idiots to hide. I’d make it my life’s work to embarrass them. As if they had any shame.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: EFF exposed the FBI’a perfidy to the Constitution

Seattle Times ‘Outraged’ at Method FBI Used to Catch Suspect: ‘Not Only Does That Cross a Line, It Erases It’
Oct. 28, 2014 1:26am
Oliver Darcy

*** begin quote ***

The Electronic Frontier Foundation obtained documents revealing the FBI created a phony webpage with an Associated Press byline and “in the style of The Seattle Times” to lure an individual suspected of making bomb threats in 2007 to Lacey’s Timberline High School. Agents then planted software on his computer and tracked his location.

*** end quote ***

It would seem this would be “fruit of the poisonous tree”?

At the very least, it would also seem to be a violation of the Computer Trespass law.

Never mind copyright law.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Former Nazis. What else don’t we know?

Why did the U.S. government hire over 1,000 former Nazis after World War II?
Oct. 28, 2014 9:59am
Benjamin Weingarten

*** begin quote ***

We do not yet know the full scope and scale of such operations, which some argue is substantially larger than 1,000 ex-Nazis, as elements of it still remain classified:

In all, the American military, the C.I.A., the F.B.I. and other agencies used at least 1,000 ex-Nazis and collaborators as spies and informants after the war, according to Richard Breitman, a Holocaust scholar at American University who was on a government-appointed team that declassified war-crime records.

The full tally of Nazis-turned-spies is probably much higher, said Norman Goda, a University of Florida historian on the declassification team, but many records remain classified even today, making a complete count impossible.

*** end quote ***

They, the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats, have no shame or no conscience.

Wonder what else we don’t know?

And you wonder why I wear my tin foil hat proudly.

Argh!

Fake Ranger Pleads Guilty to Gun Charge – source Houston Chronicle

*** begin quote ***

A Conroe (Texas) man who passed himself off as an Army 
Ranger to get closer to the inner circle of ex-Navy SEAL 
Marcus Luttrell – the war hero portrayed in the book and 
movie “Lone Survivor” – pleaded guilty to being a felon in 
possession of a firearm. When local and Federal officials 
searched Daniel Lee Marshall Jr.’s trailer, they found 
several guns, as well as an Army dress uniform with ribbons 
he did not earn and a pickup truck with a Purple Heart 
license plate that he did not deserve.

In court, Marshall admitted to being a felon in possession 
of a firearm, a crime that carries a penalty of up to 10 years 
in prison. “There is no parole in the federal system,” the 
Judge warned him from the bench. “Any sentence you get 
will not be shortened by parole.” As a felon, he is not legally 
allowed to buy a firearm. How he got the weapons is 
unclear.

Africa: A Tragic Continent
By Walter E. Williams
October 28, 2014

*** begin quote ***

Though there’s a strong case for us to help with the Ebola crisis, the worst thing Westerners could do to Africa would be to send more foreign aid. Foreign aid provides the financial resources that enable Africa’s grossly corrupt and incompetent regimes to buy military equipment, pay off cronies and continue to oppress their people. It also provides resources for the leaders to live lavishly and set up “retirement” accounts in foreign banks.

*** end quote ***

Anyone notice that the USA is broke?

So why should “We, The Sheeple” support borrowing money from China to send it to the Swiss bank accounts of Third World “leaders”?

Suggest that we PNG (“Personna Non Grata”) politicians and bureaucrats from these countries.

Let them stew in their own juice.

FUN: TOP 10 REASONS TO VOTE DEMOCRAT

Thursday, October 30, 2014

FROM AN EMAIL FROM LUDDITE

TOP 10 REASONS TO VOTE DEMOCRAT

#10. I vote Democrat
because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my German Shepherd.

#9. I vote Democrat
because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn’t.

#8. I vote Democrat
because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

#7. I vote Democrat
because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

#6. I vote Democrat
because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that gets police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.

#5. I vote Democrat
because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.

#4. I vote Democrat
because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it.

#3. I vote Democrat because I
believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even
and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrat Party sees fit.

#2. I vote Democrat
because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

… And, the #1 reason I vote Democrat is
because I think it’s better to pay $billions$ for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher, or fish here in America. We don’t care about the beetles, gophers, or fish in those other countries.

 

“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits”… Albert Einstein

# – # – # – # – #   

I have no info on the accuracy or attribution of the supposed Einstein quote. The other 10 points seem spot on to me.

Not that I have any great love for the R’s who are merely in most cases just Democratic lite.
