I just read an interesting blog post about what it means to be an African American. In reality, however, there's no such thing, and I despise the term, no matter who uses it for whatever their reason.
Any individual who was either born in the US or became a citizen via naturalization, is an AMERICAN.......PERIOD.......and if they call themselves an African-American or a Latino-American or a Chinese-American, they are, ipso facto, a racist individual.
Anyway....having gotten my own personal opinion out of the way: here's the interesting article at:

I discovered this treasure quite by accident.
It's the Bangladesh Parliament Building designed by US architect Louis Kahn, who somehow, miraculously, completed this immense project, in spite of the fact that Bangladesh didn't have enough money to do so.

The Bangladesh Government and the Bangladesh population are said to have thanked Louis Kahn for having given them a place in which to establish the democratic ideals that had eluded them for centuries.

Louis Kahn created a masterpiece, with this building. The unusual shape and placement of its windows, is a design-phenomenon that, as far as I know, had never before been utilized anywhere else.

Each time I look at the Bangladesh Parliament, I smile.......because it is perfect, elegant, powerful, and totally magnificent.
Its concept makes me happy.
It makes the entire world
a more beautiful place!

I have noticed, during the past few years, that there are many among us, who have no reality-based insight regarding Iran, North Korea, Burma, Zimbabwe, and other dictatorships.

I assume that this monumental lack of insight is the result of all the multicultural love stories being distributed by our educational institutions and by most of our media.

For those of you who believe that all cultures are the same, I invite you to read this

I did, today. They were lying all along a highway that had been flooded by yesterday's storms.

They kinda look like a cross between a stretched-out inner tube, and a giant real-life sea-monster, and they keep the earth from being flooded away.

Cool stuff!
Great name!

President Eisenhower had (in my personal opinion)
the extreme audacity to replace
our beautiful, centuries-old maxim
E PLURIBUS UNUM
with his own personal motto:
"In God We Trust"
which now adorns all of our coins
all of our paper moneys
and who knows what else!

Why was he permitted to do that?
And what's to prevent us now
from re-instating our original maxim
that was created by America's founding fathers
and which describes so perfectly
the unprecedented achievement of
the only melting-pot nation
on earth?

ABOUT
ANGER
AND
RAGE

Permitting oneself to express one's rage without the intellectual control of reason, is like taking an old, familiar drug that makes people high at the expense of whoever is the unfortunate recipient of their rage

Those who are afraid of their own rage, often purchase large and often lethal dogs, which they then train to express their rage FOR them, via secret word commands that get their animals to attack and molest a designated victim.

Rage-infested tyrants purchase weapons of mass-destruction and create large armies trained to express their personal rage FOR them.....preferably via terrorist attacks and other forms of undeclared warfare waged against innocent civilians who cannot defend themselves.

Free-floating rage is always an expression of hatred, extreme weakness, and emotional or professional impotence.

It is the coward's way of incitement.

It is the preferred tool of individuals with miniscule egos, who'll say and do just about anything --no matter how contemptible-- that will invalidate those who are perceived to be superior.

When I went to buy a few more Belkin Surge Protectors, I discovered that they now manufacture them in dark Gray-Black, and that they've invented this really cool thing that allows you to turn each outlet sideways, so all or some of your plugs, can now lie flat against the wall.

I love stuff like that!

Without innovation, all products slink into oblivion.

It's why all those car companies are going broke:
...they never invented anything.

I had planned to write about Arlen Specter sliding down his elephant's tail and then getting smacked in the head by the donkey he'd been hoping to mount instead.......and about Zuma, husband of several wives and father of 19 children, who wears a tiger skin over his naked body and a tiger-cap over his silly head, getting his self be voted in as the supreme leader of South Africa.......and about Huffington co-hosting an early-morning session of SquawkBox, where she ruined everything with her perpetual-passive-aggressive-smile and her perpetual hate-attacks against everyone and everything positive and decent.......and about the Taliban doing the Palestinian gambit, by beheading and otherwise murdering in cold blood, more than a hundred and fifty civilians, just so they could then shout all across the globe, that those people got killed during an air strike perpetrated by the Americans, and the idiot-world-media believing this and repeating it ad nauseum.......but all of this stuff is so evil and so profoundly and totally dysfunctional
that instead, I'd rather present

This handy-dandy, brand-new
survival kit contains the following
extremely useful items:

1
A complete explanation of why all those papermasks everybody is selling and buying and wearing, are completely useless and might even be dangerous, since they actually trap other people's infectious organisms, and keep them right where you will repeatedly breathe them into your system.

2
A nifty, pig-shaped notebook, in which you can keep a record of all those cowardly officials who immediately dumped a perfect reality-name, and who are now driving all of us crazy with speeches about the "H1N1"......which they can't even pronounce and you'd think that they'd burst out laughing when they're saying it, don't you?

3
A beautiful, pig-shaped dartboard that shows all the "farms" around the world, where pigs are being kept in giant pools filled with their own excrement, and where a gazillion flies congregate in perfect harmony.

4
Your very own, adorable little clay piggy bank - which we now call swiney-bank!
