Random Thought For the Day

Bill Maher once infamously said the muslims involved in 9/11 were brave because they were clearly willing to die for their cause. I have to disagree. If they had believed that they would spend an eternity in Hell paying for their sins then I might call them brave but that's not what they believed. What they believed was that all sins would be forgiven, and they apparently took advantage of this by committing a lot of sins involving booze and strippers before the big day, and that they would be rewarded in Paradise with 72 virgins. That's not bravery. All that is is proof that comedian Larry Miller was right when he observed that you can get men to do anything as long as you end your description of the activity with the phrase, "...and then you meet women."

Thought For The Day

Why is it that some people feel that corporate executives have absolutely nothing to do with the success of a company but deserve 100% of the blame when that company fails and why is it that none of these people have ever run a successful company?

Thought For The Day

If Republicans are the party of big business and Democrats are the party of the little guys, why does Obamanomics largely consist of using the threat of force to confiscate money, i.e. taxes, from the little guys and turn it over to giant corporations so they can buy French luxury jets and sponsor golf tournaments and rock concerts with it?
