Sumth’n for Nuth’n

October 4th, 2008 by Bob
Respond

When your house is worth nothing and our economy is completely in the tank (soon), you will have the gentleman below to thank.  Rep. Barney Frank wanted to give people something for nothing.  Want a house?  No problem.  No down payment, no income to pay your mortgage, no nuth’n.  And to the bitter end, the honorable Rep. Frank claimed that there was no crisis.  Don’t believe me, watch this.
Sumth'n for Nuth'n
Rep. Frank

Of course, Rep. Frank is not alone.  He is joined by the equally stupid Rep. Maxine Water, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and the list goes on and on.  Of course the MSM will protect these pathetic leaders, especially Barney Frank, because he is a champion of everything they support.

I can only hope that someone figures out a way to press criminal charges, but if Sen. Obama makes it into office, the Dems will shoot the messengers and these pathetic leaders will continue to ruin America.

“Sexual Identity Disturbance”

July 13th, 2008 by trossi
Respond

It took a while to wrap my mind around this story.

From the BBC:

An Italian court has ordered the government to pay 100,000 euros (£79,919) to a man who had to retake his driving test because he was gay.

Danilo Giuffrida, now 26, told doctors he was homosexual during a medical examination for military service.

The information was passed to the defence and transport ministries.

Mr Giuffrida was told to repeat his driving test or have his licence suspended because of his “sexual identity disturbance”.

Mr Giuffrida passed his test for the second time but his licence was renewed for just one year rather than the usual 10 years because of his homosexuality.

A court in Catania, Sicily, ordered the ministries to pay damages on the basis that Mr Giuffrida’s constitutional rights had been breached and that homosexuality could not be considered a “mental illness”.

The judge said the actions of the ministries showed “evident sexual discrimination”.

Mr Giuffrida welcomed the sentence as “a step forwards for civil rights.”

I’m not sure what being “sexually disturbed” has to do with driving, but nevertheless, the Italian defense and transport ministries is obviously infiltrated by mute donkeys. I’m not Mr. Gay Rights, but come on, seriously? What in the world were they thinking?

Cell phone addiction?

July 10th, 2008 by trossi
Respond

From the BBC:

Two children in Spain have been admitted to a mental health institution to be treated for addiction to their mobile phones, Spanish media report.

The children, aged 12 and 13, were sent to the clinic by their parents, who said they could not carry out normal activities without their handsets.

They were doing badly at school and lying to relatives in order to get money to spend on their phones.

They have been learning to cope without their phones for three months.

Dr Maite Utges, who runs the Child and Youth Mental Health Centre in Lleida, near Barcelona in north-eastern Spain, said it was the first time the clinic had treated children who were dependent on their mobile phones.

“They both showed disturbed behaviour and this exhibited itself in failure at school. They both had serious difficulties leading normal lives,” she was quoted in Spanish papers as saying.

The children had owned their phones for 18 months, and their parents had made little effort to restrict their use before noticing how serious their dependence had become.

So can you guess who the mute donkey in this story is? I’ll give you a hint, you could pick anyone involved and you wouldn’t be wrong.

Drunk mute donkey tries to row row his way home

July 1st, 2008 by trossi
Respond

From the BBC:

A last drink proved one too many for a 78-year-old Swede who fell asleep while trying to row home - from Denmark.

Reports say the man had been drinking in the Danish town of Helsingor but found he did not have enough money for the ferry home to Sweden.

Instead of waiting until morning, he stole a dinghy and tried to row the 5km (three miles) across the Oresund Strait to Helsingborg, police said.

But he fell asleep half-way and drifted until he was rescued by the coastguard.

Bulgarian “athletes” use steroids

June 29th, 2008 by trossi
Respond

Am I supposed to be shocked by this?

The BBC:

 

Bulgaria’s Weightlifting Federation has withdrawn its team from this summer’s Beijing Olympics after 11 lifters failed drugs tests.

The federation said eight men and three women had tested positive for the banned substance methandienon.

…”The federation decided to withdraw the weightlifting team - men and women -from the Olympics,” read a statement.

Bulgaria had been keen to clean up weightlifting’s tarnished reputation in the build-up to Beijing after a series of doping scandals.

The team was stripped of three gold medals and sent home following positive drugs tests at the Sydney Games in 2000.

…The sport has been hit hard by problems with doping in recent years. At the last Olympics in Athens 12 of the 26 positive drug tests came in weightlifting, while earlier this month the International Weightlifting Federation handed out two-year suspensions to 11 Greek lifters who tested positive in March.

 

 

Just so we’re clear, weightlifting is not a sport. The guys delivering your FedEx packages are more athletic than most of these “athletes”. So who is the mute donkey? The author of this article.

17 mute Donkeys get pregnant…

June 28th, 2008 by trossi
Respond

…and the mute donkey mayor can only talk about there not being a pact between the high school students.

BBC:

A US town mayor says there is “no evidence” to support claims that 17 Massachusetts schoolgirls became pregnant because of a “pregnancy pact”.

When details first emerged of the high rate of pregnancies at Gloucester High School, the school’s principal had speculated that the girls had a pact.

The number of pregnancies at the school has quadrupled since last year.

But Gloucester Mayor Carolyn Kirk said the spike in pregnancies was comparable to increases in other cities.

“Any planned blood-oath bond to become pregnant - there is absolutely no evidence of,” she said.

I know this is a crazy idea, but maybe she could take advantage of her time in the spotlight and talk about the real issue. Nobody cares if there was a pact. The mayor should be talking about the rapid decline of parenting skills over the years and that too many parents try to be friends with their kids. The number one issue killing America is the lack of good parenting skills and instead of talking about that, she would rather address the pact conspiracy. Brilliant.

Only mute Donkeys try to have slaves

June 27th, 2008 by trossi
Respond

Two rich mute donkeys from New York tried (and succeeded) in keeping slaves in their house for many years.

Reuters:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A wealthy New York woman was sentenced to 11 years in prison on Thursday for keeping two Indonesian women as slaves, forcing them to work up to 20 hours a day for years after confiscating their passports.

Indian-born Varsha Sabhnani and her husband, Mahender Sabhnani, were convicted in December of forced labor, peonage, harboring aliens, document servitude and conspiracy in what prosecutors called “a case of modern-day slavery.”

…The investigation began when one of the victims was found in a doughnut shop wearing rags and with open wounds behind her ears, prosecutors said. The second victim was found in the home, hiding in a closet under the basement stairs.

Prosecutors said the couple, both U.S. citizens, brought two women, identified only as Samirah, 51, and Enung, 47, to the United States from Indonesia with promises to pay $200 a month for housekeeping duties.

Instead, the women testified, they were beaten with brooms, scalded with hot water and forced to eat hot chili peppers as well as forced to carry out household duties. Both were forced to sleep on mats and had to steal food to get enough to eat, prosecutors said.

I think the perfume fumes must have gotten to the heads of these mute donkeys…everybody knows you can’t let your slave go to the doughnut shop.

Only mute Donkeys pay for women

June 26th, 2008 by trossi
Respond

I know I don’t have to convince you that this world is “going to hell in a hand basket” like my mom used to say, but this story should help clear it up a little.

From CNN:

Cops bust alleged brothel-on-wheels in Miami

MIAMI, Florida (AP) – An alleged brothel-on-wheels that authorities said they busted over the weekend gives a whole new meaning to keeping the party moving.

Miami Beach undercover detectives who paid a $40 entry fee and boarded a stretch limousine bus Sunday found women onboard offering oral sex and lap dances for money, authorities said.

Authorities arrested Christine Morteh, 29, of Miramar, and the driver, Clyde Scott, along with four other people Sunday. Miami-Dade jail spokeswoman Janell Hall said Morteh faces charges including offering to commit or engage in prostitution, conducting business without a license, directing another to a place of prostitution and deriving support from prostitution.

Continue article…

So what did she have to have a business license for? Directing the men to other hookers or just being one herself? What’s the tax rate on those services? Anyway, one thing is for sure, any “man” who boarded the brothel on wheels is a complete mute donkey.

Mute donkey puts cell phone up his donkey

June 25th, 2008 by trossi
Respond

Sometimes being a mute donkey just stinks. This story from The Smoking Gun certainly speaks to that point.

Meet Jeffrey Barrier. The Ohio man allegedly used a cell phone camera to snap photos of a naked woman at a tanning salon Saturday and then hid the phone in his anus in a bid to thwart police. Standing on a chair, Barrier, 41, took the photos at Cincinnati’s Aloha Tanning, where a 35-year-old woman was “in the nude in a tanning room,” according to a Hamilton County Municipal Court affidavit. When cops later confronted Barrier, “he kept denying any involvement of the incident” and claimed to not have a camera. However, a second search of the suspect turned up the camera. As noted in a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office report, Barrier “did hide evidence in his anus.” 

So I don’t have to say it, but this guy is a gigantic mute donkey. Taking phone photos of naked women in tanning booths gets you in the door at The Mute Donkey Club, but then taking that said phone and stuffing it up your butt gets you VIP access.

Spike Lee is a mute Donkey

June 24th, 2008 by trossi
Respond

Spike Lee is a mute donkey for many reasons, his latest comment on Barack Obama just highlights that fact. (highlights added)

“It’s going to be before Obama, ‘B.B.,’ and after Obama — ‘A.B.’ — and some folks need to get used to this,” Lee said. “And I’m going to be at the inauguration — getting my hotel reservation now.”

…Lee said that like Katrina in 2005, the levee breaches now flooding the Upper Midwest were a sign of misplaced priorities by the national government. “That’s going to change, though,” he said. “We need a real Chocolate City,” an apparent reference to the prospect of the United States under Obama, who would be the first U.S. black president if elected in November.

The term “Chocolate City” has been used affectionately by African-Americans to refer to Washington and other predominantly black cities, and was the title of a 1975 album by the funk band Parliament. Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was criticized for racial divisiveness after Katrina for urging residents to rebuild a “chocolate New Orleans.”

So what’s so bad about that you say? Well let’s rephrase what he said to “We need to have a real black nation.” Now let’s flip it and pretend that Steven Spielberg said, “If John McCain wins we just really need a real White City.”

It’s amazing how racially insensitive you are allowed to be if you are not white. Don’t get me wrong, what Spike said wouldn’t bother me in the least if we (honkeys) could speak freely without having to worry about being labeled a racist. But that isn’t the society that we live in. If you dare open your mouth about anyone who is even tanner than you, you better be prepared to handle the storm. Ask Don Imus.
