American Exceptionalism

Normally, something this idiotic would not even warrant a mention, especially as it comes from Karen Tumulty, one of the Beltway Intelligentsia. I was going to ignore it until I saw this today, in light of World AIDS Day.

Yeah, guess what country has given the most money and help to fight AIDS in Africa. Hell, even uber douchebag Bono can see the writing on the wall:

“Even people who are snide and snarky about the United States of America have to admit that millions and millions of lives have been saved by American taxpayers,” Bono told Fox News’ Bret Baier during an interview with the lead singer and the former president taped at {former President George W}Bush’s Dallas, Texas, office.

That’s fucking right. No fucking other country on the fucking face of the fucking earth would fucking donate zillions of dollars to fight a scourge such as AIDS on a continent far away and not blink an eye. Put aside any social commentary about AIDS, and what you see in the fight that Bono and the U.S. have started shows our fucking exceptionalism. What you see is the willingness for a free people to expend money to help people far away, and not utter a peep. And what you fucking see is how generous the American people are. And this shit Tumulty pushed really fucking pissed me off.

Yes, Karen Tumulty, America is an exceptional place. America is the only country that can and will lead to preserve life, liberty, and the fucking pursuit of happiness around the globe. Only America will be willing to save zillions of people around the fucking globe to fight anything that threatens said goals listed above. And only America, that Shining City on a Hill, will do whatever can be done to make sure that people in other parts of the fucking world that we will never see might have a fucking chance to live, and utter nary a significant peep in protest. And what is truly pathetic is how you fail to see what good arises from us saving the world.

So fuck your snark, Karen Tumulty. Fuck your inability to see how a free nation is indeed exceptional, as contrasted to the dictatorships that have done jack fucking shit to help out Africa. Fuck your cocktail circuit for thinking along your lines. And furyfuck with the flying fuckeagle of freedom’s claws anybody who agrees with your decree that America is not exceptional. Why don’t you fucking live in an oppressed state, just so you can fucking see what it’s like to have no fucking chances and report back to us?

So get fucked, Tumulty, and go and see how exceptional we are from the outside.

If You Are A Hobo Trying To Print Fake Money

Try not to do it in a shopping mall bathroom.

On Wednesday, security officers noticed that a man had been locked in the mall’s third-floor bathroom for more than an hour, said Reagan.

“Once the door was open, the officer saw a color copier sitting on the floor,” Reagan said.

Sheets of paper printed with uncut $10 counterfeit bills were found in the bathroom garbage can.

The serial number on a legitimate $10 bill deputies said they found in Robinson’s pocket matched the fake bills.

“They might have passed muster if you were giving them to some 17-year-old at a fast-food restaurant. He was planning to buy drugs, so maybe it would have worked,” Reagan said.

If You Want To Turn A Spare Bedroom Into A Hindu Temple

Take advice from these folks.

Brahma is one of three central gods of Hinduism. In the room, 17 gods and goddesses of the religion are represented in statue form.

They were blessed by five priests from India in a 13-day inauguration ceremony that involved carrying the statues to the sea and bathing them. The blessing is designed to bring them alive and make them worthy of prayer.

Everything a Hindu pilgrim might want is available here – peace, prayer, friendship and happiness – and of course, Mrs Karia’s tea.

Since a bout of pneumonia, the 67-year-old part-time teacher can no longer cope with preparing food for everyone but guests are welcome to bring their own.

The couple created the temple as none was available locally when they moved in the Seventies from North London.

And here is a picture of worshippers outside the house:
