Since you ladies were discussing France yesterday,it reminded me of something I heard about a French student complaining to his American friend that all French students are required to learn English.His American friend pointed out to him that were it not for the Americans,Canadians,British and Australians,he and his friends would be speaking German.

There’s so much anger,resentment and disgust permeating the country,I thought you might need a break and read some of the silliness happening,peppered,of course,with my personal touch.

Sarah Jessica Parker is holding a high-roller fundraiser for the Living Saint June 14.She is considered a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination for her role in The War Horse

Pete posted these in today’s Grudge. I’m just giving them an extra boost cuz I like them so much!

Welcome to the Bureau of Womanhood Conformity [1:42] – If it feels like 1984 in real life, it should. The threats to our religious liberty and conscience rights are very real.

Justice for Sale [1:03] – 4 years after our financial collapse, not a single senior Wall Street executive has been charged with a crime.

Commencement Keynote 2012 – Dr. Carson @ Emerson University [24:39]

He gave a really inspiring speech that is worth every minute. Talking head, no need to watch the screen. Also, he’s funny, so this might not be a good choice for the office where LOLing would get you into trouble.

The background to his visit to Emory contains a really distressing story. Had the political orientation been reversed, the insult Emory delivered would have sent Farrakhan off the rails and produced a week of national news shows and Democrat pols tut-tutting about intolerant Right Wingnuts.

But since the internationally renowned Black guy is politically Conservative, believes in God and isn’t so sure Darwin’s theory is all that, the ever-vigilant, self-proclaimed guardians of Black Dignity did not care.

During the speech, Carson addressed the evolution flap briefly. He gently, but firmly, put his critics in their place. They clearly were not happy. Check out the body language on the two blacks who were prominently placed on the stage behind him.

I learn the most interesting things by accident!

I was googling to work up some graphics based on the gags in http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/15/top-10-obama-ties-to-history/ and read some real eye-popping stuff about the first “President for Life” (read: Dictator) of Turkmenistan following its independence from the Soviet Union.

He “served” (read: imposed his personal eccentricities on) the Turkmen people from 1990 until his death in 2006. I’m thinking the list of this guy’s whackadoodle “accomplishments” makes Barry O seethe with envy.

1992: Saparmurat Atayevich Niyazov was elected the country’s first president. He ran unopposed.

1993: Niazov changed his title to Leader of all Turkmen.

1997: Forced by a heart ailment to give up smoking himself, he banned it in all public places and ordered all government employees to quit.

1998: He built a $12 million, 39-ft tall tripod topped with a gold-plated statue of himself that rotated so it always faced the sun. Located in the center of the capital and taller than anything nearby, it dominates the skyline. The panoramic viewing platform became a popular visitors’ attraction. (The statue was removed after Niyazov’s death.)

1999: All candidates for Parliament were hand-picked by Niyazov. Following elections, the new Parliament declared him President for Life.

2000: He revoked all Internet licenses except for the state-owned Turkmen Telecom.

2001: He shut down all Internet cafés and outlawed the circus, opera and ballet.

2002: After an alleged assassination attempt, he arrested thousands of suspected conspirators and members of their families. (Critics claim the government staged the attempt in order to crack down on mounting domestic and foreign political opposition.)

2004: He banned long hair and beards on men and fired 15,000 public health workers, including nurses, midwives, school health visitors and orderlies.

2005: He banned the use of lip syncing at public concerts and required live music (not recorded) at all celebrations, including state holidays and cultural events, t.v. broadcasts, even weddings. He also closed all libraries and hospitals outside the capital and replaced the physicians’ Hippocratic oath with one of allegiance to him personally.

2006: He discontinued pension payments to one-third of the country’s elderly and demanded all pensions paid during the prior two years be paid back to the state.

He also:

declared that the dates of all professional holidays would be specified by his decree only and renamed various months and days of the week after Turkmen heroes, poets, historical events, family members, himself and even his book;

banished dogs from the capital because he didn’t like their smell, added a chorus to the national anthem about himself, and banned news reporters and anchors from wearing make-up on television;

outlawed gold teeth and told the populace to chew on bones to strengthen their teeth so they wouldn’t fall out:  “I watched young dogs when I was young. They were given bones to gnaw to strengthen their teeth. Those of you whose teeth have fallen out did not chew on bones. This is my advice.”

Most of the stuff he did was abolished by his successor; his invention of “Melon Day” (a new August harvest festival) survived.

Can you imagine, back in 2008, any college-aged white girl NOT enthusiastically declaring her intention to vote for Teh Won? Me neither.

I hope you can forgive me for enjoying this all so much. This man has harmed my family. I might get over what he’s done to my life, but Mama Grizzly is not about to get over what he’s done to my KIDS.

When I finish today’s post I have to go to the county courthouse to get a copy of my birth certificate.(Yes,I have one!) because I’m filing for retirement next week.With my luck I’ll have to stop by Home Depot and get an illegal to carry my BC since its probably chipped in stone.Which reminds me I still owe Jesus three bucks.How old am I really?I can remember when the Dead Sea was just ailing.

There are some things going on in the world today,but The First Sphincter sort of sucked up all the oxygen yesterday.The first few posts ain’t gonna be pretty.
