WHEN A FLY FALLS INTO A CUP OF COFFEE

 

 

The Italian throws the cup, breaks it and walks away in a fit of rage.

 

The German carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.

 

The Frenchman takes out the fly and drinks the coffee.

 

The Chinese - eats the fly and throws away the coffee.

 

The Russian - drinks the coffee with the fly, since it came with no extra charge.

 

The Israeli - sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.

 

The Palestinian blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act to the UN as an act of aggression, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, Frenchman, Chinese, German and Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give his cup of tea to the Palestinian.

The Decline and Fall of an Empire

 

A Party for the Empress http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2014/01/21/party-empress/

 

It was the twilight of the Roman Empire.

 

The decay, which would lead to the empire’s downfall, had set in long before.

 

The ruling class sought to appease its people by taking money from the largest landowners and most successful businessmen and giving it to the rest of society. But the effort had irretrievably harmed the economy and habituated the poorest and even the middle class to taking gifts and free stuff, and diminished their work ethic. And the rulers, in their indulgence and eagerness to please the citizenry, had amassed for the empire incalculable debts that it could never repay and now could barely even service.

 

Meanwhile, the empire’s enemies, the barbarians, had grown stronger, with more of them possessing the weapons that once only the Romans had wielded. The emperor, having no appetite for battle, sought to dissuade the barbarians. He trusted in their peaceful instincts, but they were wilier than he and merely used his goodwill to further their evil designs.

 

The emperor and his empress were ignorant of the empire’s decline and sought only to increase the happiness of the citizens by taking yet more money from the successful and redistributing it to those who were not. And yet, they themselves led lavish lifestyles, traveling overseas on grand vacations and even journeying frequently to Africa, where the Empress rode elephants and tracked wild animals.

 

About five years into their reign, the emperor and empress vacationed together on a beautiful isle in the Aegean Sea. After a fortnight, the emperor realized he had no choice but to return to Rome. But the empress moved on to another island, where she continued to revel for another ten days in luxury with her dearest friends.

 

When she finally returned to the palace, rested and full of joy, the emperor threw a lavish party in her honor. Some 500 citizens of the realm were called to attend. Among them were the leading members of society – artists, singers, athletes, politicians, men and women of great wealth and fame, and more.

 

The emperor and empress demanded that their guests dance for them – even refusing to serve dinner so that none of them would have a heart attack during the gala.

 

Even as the empire crumbled around them, the empress and her guests drank “sips” of wine, nibbled at small but delicious treats, and danced into the early hours of the morning. At one point during the bacchanal, a beautiful, barely clad chanteuse, whom the empress herself idolized and had befriended, arose and, slinking and slithering, serenaded the adoring crowd.

The Obama's Romans were very jaded....weren't they?

In my mature years, I’m finally beginning to understand the Bible.
For those who haven’t heard, the State of Washington just
passed two laws:

- Same Sex Marriage
- Legalized Marijuana
The fact that same-sex marriage and marijuana were legalized on
the same day makes perfect biblical sense because Leviticus 20:13
says: "If a man lies with another man they should be stoned." I just
hadn’t interpreted it correctly before.

CNN lays off more than 40 journalists

By Matthew Garrahan in Los Angeles

 

CNN has laid off more than 40 senior journalists in its newsgathering operation – including a pregnant producer who was two weeks away from giving birth to twins – as part of a reorganisation of the business under Jeff Zucker.

 

FTimes

 

I didn't think that CNN had nearly that many "journalists".... These numbers look vastly inflated.

 

Now if this had said 40 Administration flacks....
