Obama's Connecticut Military Operation

We have a problem. I got home from work yesterday and found out that the United States had launched a Connecticut Military Operation. The television dude the reason they did this is that Congress would never approve a Declaration of War. I would hope not. What’s wrong with Connecticut?

President Obama says that this operation is necessary to protect the civilian population. From whom do they need protecting? Supposedly its against the leader of the state. I looked it up. Her name is M. Jodi Rell. She must be pretty bad because even the Arab League is upset with her. Maybe she had snow removal issues this past winter. Or maybe they want her to wear a burqa. Gee, I hope she doesn’t get caught by any Egyptians. The Drudge Report said the army was given protesting women virginity tests. Yikes.

I don’t think Obama is really into this Connecticut invasion. He is looking to hand it off to somebody else. I am guessing that New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island aren’t interested in taking over. That’s probably why Obama is looking to hand it over to the French. He tried to hand it over to the British, but they already had a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthr's Court. He really should let the Italians lead the Connecticut Military Operation because there are lots of Italians in Connecticut. I saw it on Mystic Pizza. Those Connecticut Italians would surrender real fast, too; unless of course, they call in reinforcements from New Jersey.

Obama also seems concerned about how long this Connecticut Military Operation is going to take. He said it would be over in a few days. He must afraid he will get his buddies Sean Penn and Tim Robbins mad at him given he won the Nobel Peace Prize and all. They must live in Mystic, Connecticut, too. They both won Academy Awards for Mystic River, and that’s way better than a Nobel Peace Prize, especially if given to a war monger President who would invade Connecticut!!! Wait a minute, I don’t think we are supposed to use the word “war.”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the brains behind this Connecticut Military Operation. She said she was targeting Connecticut, and she has to take it before the next election. She said she waited way too long the last time and it cost her the election. She worked hard at forging a coalition to do the Connecticut Military Operation. Its are called a campaign exploratory committee. But I thought Hillary and her husband Bill teamed up with the Chinese instead of the French and British. Why should we pay for her Connecticut Military Operation? Let the Chinese do it! That's why we need NATO to investigate campaign fraud.

Wait a minute. What’s that you say? What do you mean it’s not a Connecticut Military Operation? Of course Connecticut isn’t spelled with a “K”! Oh…Oh. You mean it’s Kinetic Military Operation. What the hell is that? Against who? Against Libya? And they aren’t bombing Hartford. They are bombing Tripoli? Isn’t that next to the Halls of Montezuma?

Nevermind!

Strouss-Hirshberg; Things That Aren't There Anymore

Image
Youngstown was at the heart of the American industrial revolution in the mid 1800’s. During World War I, more steel came from Youngstown than anywhere else in the world. It’s no wonder, then, that the area was home of some of the best of everything, including department stores. Strouss-Hirshberg and McKelvey’s were the Macy’s and Gimbels of northeast Ohio, and offered to local residents the best of what money could buy. Strouss will always hold a special place in the heart of this area. It is hard to believe that there are twenty somethings today that haven't heard of it, or go “huh?” when you mention it. I tried doing some research on its history. Believe it or not, it is hard to find. As near as I could figure, the Strouss Hirshberg Company was originally known as D. Theobald and Company. Isaac Strouss clerked there, and eventually bought the store in 1875 with his new partner Bernard Hirshberg. The store was incorporated in 1906. The Readers Digest version of the life of the ...

Hope vs. Aspiration

Don't forget to visit http://www.markknowsitall.com/ Hope: to have a wish to get or do something or for something to happen or be true. Aspiration : a desire or ambition to achieve something. As the 2008 presidential campaign heats up, Barack Obama is in full gear selling his vision for the future of America. He is for “hope” and “change.” …and oh yes, peace. He is also for “peace.” Aren’t we all? Obama, the oratorical wunderkind with the speech cadence of Martin Luther King, is doing a fine job of telling us what we should hope for, and how he is going to give it to us. He is a riveting individual and a spell binding speech giver. Hope is a good thing, right? Obama believes Americans are “hope” deficient. Americans “hope” for universal (read “government run”) health care, even though 85% of Americans have coverage, and 25% of those who do not aren't American citizens, and an additional 14% of those who don’t can afford it but simply choose not buy it, and a portion of the re...

Donald Sutherland's Pants

An adult coming of age movie entitled Garden State made the rounds last summer. A friend of mine told me it was worth watching, so I bought the DVD. If you are a fan of movies filled with generational angst, which I am, this movie fills the bill. But if you are easily offended by casual sex, drug use, spoiled brats, and generally slovenly behavior, stick with Casablanca . Let's face it. A movie in which one of the protagonists is a grave digger who steals the jewelry off dead bodies prior to their being put in the ground is not exactly The Brady Bunch . Included in the movie soundtrack is a song called In The Waiting Line . It is a "head" song. Translated: play it while getting stoned. The lyrics ask the musical question: "Do you believe in what you see?" And that, my friends, is the topic of this week's essay. Animal House is the quintessential college frat house slob movie. It was fairly raunchy when it was released in 1978. By today's standards, i...
