The Mighty Maine Potato!

So, have you heard the news about HOMER SIMPSON?

The Maine potato industry got an unexpected prime-time plug Sunday night when Homer Simpson, America's most famous cartoon glutton, endorsed the state's spuds.

In a subplot that had Homer's bountiful body sporting tattoo advertisements for various products, "Eat Maine Potatoes" was stamped across one arm.

But did you know that the Maine Potato is a WAR HERO? From what I recall it was during the campaign in the Solomon Islands when the USS O'Bannon, a destroyer, came upon a Japanese Submarine. The ship was too close to the sub to use its guns and the surfaced sub became aware of the vessel and its men went top side to man the deck gun. The sailors aboard O'Bannon began to pelt the Japanese sailors with potatoes! A barrage of Potatoes at night probably looked like a barrage of grenades. The Japanese Sailors busied themselves with the task of tossing the grenades back at O'Bannon and into the sea. This bought the O'Bannon time to get into gun range and to sink the Japanese Sub.

Give Me A Break!!!

On my way home from NJ I was listening to WBZ and heard this story about a store called Building 19 causing an uproar.

"Women's groups are outraged at an ad for men's sleeveless T-shirts that ran in a recent Building 19 flier -- an ad that offered three white "wife beater" undershirts for $5.98. "



I understand its insensitive, I understand its moronic, but thats really what the public calls them, either that or Guinea T's which is equally politically incorrect. But thats just the vernacular for the product. Its not like that ad read...

"Beat your wife and children in cotton comfort, 3 Wifebeater T's for only $5.98. Bleach out any blood spatter without worry...or just buy more at this incredible low price."

Get your own!

As you read the news reports, thankfully Dick Cheney had his medical staff on hand when he shot someone this past weekend.

Weehawken, New Jersey

State Senator Joseph Vitale says he's tired of New Jersey not getting their fair share from Washington Republicans, so he's asking the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to designate Weehawken, New Jersey as the official site of the first time a sitting Vice President of the United States shot a private citizen. On July 11, 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr shot and killed a lawyer and onetime friend, Alexander Hamilton, in a duel at Weehawken called to settle a political dispute -- more than 200 years before Dick Cheney shot a lawyer and old friend during a hunting trip in South Texas.

Free Speech is more important than ANY Religion

By now I am sure you've heard how the Middle East and parts of Europe are being torn apart by the publication of several political cartoons depicting Mohammed. This Cartoon caused the most outrage



Here is something not many people know about the cartoons. They were published on SEPTEMBER 30!!!

Then there was a letter from many ambassadors to the Danish Prime Minister to take action...to apologize for the cartoons. I have read this letter; it was well written, not at all accusatory and explained why it was so offensive to Muslims. The PM never responded and eventually papers in France, UK and Italy republished the cartoons. I believe that was in OCTOBER! But the protests and riots didn't take place until two weeks back. Thats why our president and his puppet Condoleeza are trying to make the claim that Syria or Iran insighted the riots. Personally I don't care. I feel bad for the rioters because I believe they are puppets of nations with agendas and powerful clerics who wield their powers of persuasion to acheive political goals.

Judaism, Islam and Christianity all believe in the same god! Just in slightly different ways. Jews are waiting for the Messiah, Christians think it was Christ and Muslims believe Mohammed was the last prophet...but Allah, Yahweh,and "The Father" are all the same entity. So Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are like AT&T, MCI and Sprint and you just pick a plan to communicate with god.

Bah!

I understand why Muslims are offended by the cartoon...but in this case, no one is WORSHIPPING the Cartoon like an Idol...no one would want to worship Mohammed with a bomb for a Turban, or one weilding a knife with two shocked women behind him...these are not symbols worthy of idolitry.

Oy!

But at the same time... 1/3 of the world is Christian, 1/6 of the World is Muslim... but the Western world...wants all people to have freedom of expression and speech. So going back to John Stuart Mill and "Untilitarianism"...if 5/6 of The world population exercises free speech in a way that offends 1/6 of the world...its more important that those 5/6 have their right to do so.

Especially because religions are beliefs based of FAITH...no proof, just hunches. What rubbish.

SO...as pay back...

Iran’s largest newspaper Hamshahri is holding an international cartoon contest to find the best Holocaust cartoons. They released a statement

The Western papers printed these sacrilegious cartoons on the pretext of freedom of expression, so let’s see if they mean what they say and also print these Holocaust cartoons.

I like how the Danish publish this cartoon and to retaliate they target JEWS, not Danes. Pretty funny especially considering there are 2 Billion Christians in this world, 1 Billion Muslims and 14.5 Million Jews! But hey, Free Speech is Free Speech.

Here is one of the cartoons...


I never knew Hitler was a pedophile too.
