  • More Questions for the Universe

    In previous editions of "Questions for the Universe", we've asked things like why men consider ballet gay but not football and why, with the technology to go to the moon, they can't create a pad that doesn't stick to my a$$...

    Now for the new questions...

    1. If being vegan is so awesome, why do they have fake meat products?  Tofu turkey?  Vegan sausage?
    2. Why do handicapped people drive slow?  Is their car handicapped too???  Don't believe me?  Check for that next time you're behind someone going really slow....
    3. Why is the handicapped parking at the front of the store and the handicapped bathroom stall all the way in the back?
    4. How come handicapped people get to say that they're just like the rest of us... I know you've all heard the "handicapable" spiel...   And yet they want to go to the head of the line (literally), get special parking, special motorized carts, special seats on public transit, special tax deductions, special consideration for government contracts, and lot of other "special" stuff?  So my question is this - which is it?  Are you handicapped and in need of special assistance?  Or are you actually able to participate in regular activities and just using your handicap as an excuse be a lazy candya$$?
    5. And while we're on the subject of handicapped stuff, since when did being a 497 pound whompa$$ qualify as a handicap?  If that's really your handicap, I have a cure....  Why not have special "blimp" parking in the back of the lot?  Surely a bit of exercise would do these folks some good....
    6. How come there's a tax on cigarettes "because they're unhealthy" and "because they run up large medical bills" but there's not a similar tax on that Big Mac and Fatty Fries?  Sausage McMuffin - 370 calories , 200 of which are from fat - more than 50%.  Hazelnut Latte - 280 calories - 70 from fat.  That's 650 calories for breakfast.  Big Mac - 540 calories and 50% of those are from fat.  Large Fry - 500 calories, 220 of which are from fat - nearly 50%.  And that's only lunch at 1140 calories with a total of 1790 for the day out of 2000 total.    That leaves you 210 calories for the rest of the day - that's less than the Hazelnut Latte. And dietary fat intake of 50% when it should be 20%.  Obesity causes cancer too, you know.

  • Obama Peace Prize

    Once upon a time you had to get your peace prize the hard way... You had to earn it!  The first recipients were Henry Dunant and Frédéric Passy.  Henry Dunant was the founder of the Red Cross.  Fredrick Passy was the founder of the Interparlimentary Union - the predecessor to the United Nations.  The second year's winners also had to split the prize - Élie Ducommun and Charles Albert Gobat - who co-founded the Permanent Peace Bureau - an organization that attempts to aid in negotiating peace treaties.  The third winner was William Randal Kremmer, who founded the International Arbitration Bureau - a forum in which countries could seek out an impartial hearing instead of going to war.  These guys worked hard to earn their prizes. 

    What has Obama does?  So far.... Nothing....   So apparently all you     have to do to get a Nobel Peace Prize is to be black and get elected President?  I haven't seen Obama do anything to earn this.  All it does is cheapen the prize itself.  As far as I'm concerned, it just fell to the level of a tawdry trinket.  You are SUPPOSED to get it for your accomplishments.  All we have had from Obama is promises. 

    Webster's defines accomplishment as:

    1 : the act of accomplishing : completion
    2 : something that has been accomplished : achievement

    It's much too early in Obama's presidency to give him something like this.  He not even been in office for a full year yet.  He hasn't actually had time to do anything.  Giving him this now is just patently ridiculous.  Theodore Roosevelt was given the prize in 1906 but that was because he forged a lot of peace treaties and he EARNED his prize.  What do we have to show from Obamba?  As yet... Nothing....  It's much too soon to give him something like this unless I'm right and all you need to do is be black and president.
