Saturday Satire

   Well hell, it has been another one of those dumb/stupid weeks as far as politics go. Not the mention the hypocrisy of the GOP when it came to President Obama deciding to help the citizens of Libya by providing them with a little air support. Where were the out-cries when Bush invaded Iraq without congressional approval. The GOP American Taliban should be bitch-slapped and so should their Democrat members who are crying.

  Time for a little humor.

Jay Leno:

"It's one humiliation after another for Moammar Gadhafi. First his own people started rising up against him, then his compound was bombed, and now he's getting beaten up by the French."

"The Pentagon says that U.S. operations in Libya are limited and have a definite end date. I don't believe that. We still have troops in Germany."

"Sarah Palin visited Israel. As if the Jews have not suffered enough."

"Germany has pulled its forces out of NATO over Libya. When the Germans don't want to fight and the French do, the whole world is upside down."

"Obama said we will send economic aid to Libya to help the Libyan people reach their dreams. And if that works, they’ll try it here."

"We're fighting three wars now. Imagine how many we'd be fighting if President Obama hadn't won the Nobel Peace Prize."

Conan O'Brien :

"According to reports, Khadafy is surrounded by an elite corps of female bodyguards, all of whom are virgins. In a related story, today Charlie Sheen invaded Libya."

"On a trip to Israel, Sarah Palin asked the Israelis why they're apologizing all the time. They responded saying, 'Because we told everyone Tina Fey was coming.'"

Jimmy Fallon:

"A man in Texas used his obituary to ask for donations to anyone running against Obama in 2012. And then his ghost was offered a nightly show on Fox News."

American Taliban Governor Rick Scott…

   ….has announced a new policy which will be drug testing for new applicants seeking employment in state agencies controlled by the governor’s office. There will also be random testing of those currently employed.

    A similar rule was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge back in 2004, but Scott mouthpiece Brian Hughes  says that lawyers have told Scott that he has legal ground to do this.

   Scott also wants recipients of unemployment and welfare to be drug-tested, which a Senate committee has moved forward in bill form.      Source

     Let me get this straight. Governor Scott cuts back on education funding, destroys jobs that would have been provided by the light-rail system that he killed off, and this piece of shit wants to now spend money on testing out of work citizens applying for unemployment and/or welfare benefits? Wonder how much that is going to cost the less fortunate in Florida because it sure as hell will not be the richer residents or the business community, neither of which pay much in taxes, if anything.

   By the way. I do favor drug testing new hires before giving them jobs with the state. Maybe Scott should add alcohol testing as it seems to be even more of a problem than dope does.
