New York City's Sex Manual for Kids
“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read,” Groucho Marx once quipped.
Some books should be left inside dogs.
In the “dog book” category is the misleadingly-titled, Health Facts workbook, a box set of lesson plans the administration of New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the mayor’s new Chancellor of Education Dennis Walcott want introduced into city middle and high schools for purposes yet unclear but ostensibly intended to deal with New York’s out-of-control illegitimate birth rate, STD’s, and abortions.
Titled “The Health Smart Curriculum,” were it a college class, it would best be titled, “Perversions 101, How to Encourage Childhood Sexual Perversity.”
The book, the proposed sex manual, is heartily supported by the New York Civil Liberties Union, of course, and involves instructions for kids as young as eleven on everything Bloomberg and Walcott think sixth graders have been clamoring to know about: oral sex, foot fetishes, consensual erotica, mutual masturbation, and phone sex.
More sophisticated high schoolers will be enlightened on sexual positions, porn stars, bestiality, and shopping for condoms, things every teen needs to know, in the opinions of liberal Mayor Bloomberg and his hired lackey, to insure they engage in safe sex.
Condoms would certainly help in that regard but information on how missionaries did it, Linda Lovelace’s tricks, and intercourse with animals fit in with safe sex is something of a mystery to the uninformed. . .

The Occupiers: Pathetic Becomes Perilous
The Occupiers: Pathetic Becomes Perilous
Choose your variation: There’s nothing surer: The rich get richer and the poor get—poorer/children/laid off. Whatever you pick, the line may be considered one of the slogans of the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators.
When those protests against everything began a month ago, most outside observers viewed them with a mixture of bemusement and bewilderment. They have rapidly devolved into a source of disenchantment, disgust, and now fear.
At first, what little focus they had seem centered on the people President Barack Hussein Obama called the Wall Street “fat cats.” They’ve widened their scope beyond greed.
A LaLa Land demonstrator revealed that new vista when he announced at an Occupy Los Angeles rally that violence and bloodshed will become necessary components of the Left Coast occupation.
Rejecting Gandhian non-violence, the unidentified, heavily-accented speaker lectured his excited audience on his revolutionary model, the French Reign of Terror. He concluded, “So, ultimately, the bourgeoisie won’t go without violent means. Revolution! Yes, revolution that is led by the working class. Long live revolution! Long live socialism!”
See and hear his call for insurrection here: http://bit.ly/nH1wBA.
The failure of the Occupiers to recognize that Washington, not bankers, was the primary cause of the sub-prime mortgage crisis which precipitated our Great Recession and most of the Occupiers’ grievances could be dismissed as merely pathetic. This new wrinkle is disturbing. . .

"Meet Me in the Stairwell," A Prayer for 9/11
"Meet Me in the Stairwell," A Prayer for 9/11
The following was received as an email in 2010 and posted here with minor editing on September 11th, 2010. It hasn’t lost any of its significance. If anything, with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s decision to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 without allowing the presence of any clergy or the expression of any prayerful invocations, “Meet Me in the Stairwell” is more valuable than ever.

Guns Kill People Yet Curettes Don't Kill Fetuses?
Guns Kill People Yet Curettes Don't Kill Fetuses?
The gross hypocrisy of the liberal mentality is no better demonstrated by the seemingly-unrelated issues of gun control and abortion, both of which are strongly supported by libs even though the issues are antithetical: Control of guns is endorsed in the interests of preserving human life, abortion by definition destroys human life and is considered a virtual liberal sacrament.
Liberals can be awfully confusing.
Following yet another bloody weekend in New York City, the pro-abortion, imperial Mayor Michael Bloomberg trotted out the tired, old liberal mantra, regarding guns not abortions.
In reaction to 52 shootings in the city between Friday and Labor Day, including a shoot-out at the festive West Indian parade on Monday in Crown Heights that left 3 people dead, Bloomberg again resorted to the tried and true shibolleth that people don’t kill people, guns kill people.
He didn’t phrase his explanation of the mayhem in quite those terms since it’s been logically and statistically shown that guns aren’t the cause of gun violence and that people are the cause. It’s also been proven in Florida and other states that guns–in the hands of law-abiding people–actually deter criminals. Instead, the mayor invoked the more popular if less catchy line of the anti-gun lobby by blaming the shootings on illegal guns.
Memo to Bloomberg: Legal or illegal, firearms don’t usually discharge themselves.
None of this is meant to suggest that the ubiquity of weapons on the mean streets of New York, in predominantly black Crown Heights or anywhere else, isn’t a serious problem.
Nor is it meant to imply that accidents involving legal guns never happen. They do, although those occurrences are usually attributable to carelessness and are rarities even if the media blows them out of proportion when they do occur–in the interests of promoting gun safety–and the liberal agenda of denying Second Amendment rights to Americans.
The sad truth–as illustrated by New York City which has the most stringent gun possession laws in the nation and also has, per capita, the most illegal weapons in the nation and is undergoing a rapidly rising violent crime rate–is that “gun control” doesn’t work, except to the advantage of criminal elements.
Nevertheless, Bloomberg stuck to the liberal script and ignored reality by nasally intoning, This is ”what happens when elected officials in Washington fail to take the problem of illegal guns seriously.”
Those damned guns. They keep shooting and killing people, an implicit and ridiculous claim that serves to absolve the shooters and killers of individual responsibility for their actions.
The high priest of the liberal church and most-enthusiastically anti-gun and pro-abortion president in America’s history, President Barack Hussein Obama, has said little about guns or babies lately. . .

Observations on Crimes and the People Who Commit Them
Observations on Crimes and the People Who Commit Them
Criminality like poverty will always be with us. It doesn’t take an unemployed NASA scientist to realize that, as long as the human species reproduces unsavory malcontents, greedy thieves, and amoral sociopaths, some people will assault, rob, maim, and murder other people.
Crime and criminals exist in every socio-economic strata with those in the “upper classes” most often engaging in major thievery and embezzlement–like the master of the Ponzi scam, Bernie Madoff–although the rich and famous aren’t exempt from murderous escapades–like rock impresario Phil Spector.
Other classes are more likely to indulge in a wider variety of criminality, what some sociologists explain away as a consequence of their status: In effect, they steal because the devil or their mama made them do it and they maim, murder, and wreak havoc because they don’t know any better due to poor parenting, impoverishment, social inequities, and societal-legal discrimination.
All of that, of course, is hogwash. Poor criminals become criminals for the same fundamental reasons the rich become criminals: a lack of respect, for themselves, for the law, for common decency, and for other people.
The Irish were notorious criminals a century ago. The term “paddy wagons” dates to the nineteenth century and referred to New York City police vehicles used to transport often drunk and disorderly, legal Irish immigrants arrested during Civil War draft riots and, afterward, apprehended for petty thievery or worse misdeeds.
The Irish–and Italians, to a lesser extent–climbed out of that political rut because they gained, earned, and learned respect for themselves, etc.
Today, although it’s politically incorrect to articulate it and the FBI is no longer allowed to track crime on racial bases, the unfortunate truth is that African-Americans per capita are responsible for far more criminal activity than whites. This widely-understood, but minimized, ignored, and buried fact of criminal life was previously detailed in “Taboo! The Truth about Black Crime,” http://bit.ly/nPFZFm.
That said, it’s incontestable that, compared to whites, blacks represent a grossly disproportionate number of inmates in U.S. jails and prisons. However, the rate of black incarceration is not attributable to racism, as racial agitators contend with scant proof, but to the reality that African-Americans are disproportionately guilty of the commission of crimes.
That brings us back to the root question of, Why? In turn, the “why” leads us to the aforementioned dearth of respect and those same agitators who make their street creds–and all too frequently win elections--by perpetuating the racism myth as the cause . . .

Crazy and Crazier
Crazy and Crazier
The word “crazy” may be one of those pejorative but vivid descriptions such as “stupid,” “queer,” and “idiot” which are verboten by the PC Police but for which the English language cries out as needed and proper. There are, of course, levels of crazy and applying the word does involve a degree of subjectivity but some situations and people can be described in no better way.
Take Massachusetts and its health care insurance reform of 2006. Proposed by then-Governor Mitt Romney, a presumptive Republican presidential candidate in 2012, the program is a semi-disaster much like Britain’s venerable, bankrupt National Health Service. Yet both systems were used as models for Obamacare.
The latest medical news from the Bay State is foreboding.
In the midst of a nationwide physician shortage which is expected to grow worse after Obamacare is fully implemented in 2014 as fearful doctors leave the profession or take early retirement, Massachusetts is leading the way and foreshadowing the medical futures of most Americans. We must say most because the Democrat congress that enacted the Obamacare monstrosity and hundreds of unions and favored institutions are exempted from its strictures.
Meanwhile, up in Romneyland, where the former governor exploded health care demands with so-called universal coverage, “by cracking down on insurance premiums, Massachusetts pushed insurers to reduce their payments to providers, making it less worthwhile for doctors to expand their practices. As a result, the average wait to get an appointment with a doctor grew from 33 days to over 55 days:” http://bit.ly/lJJZtK
As that report by Fox News concludes, ”Promising universal health coverage is easy. But what does universal coverage mean if you can’t actually see a doctor?” Good point, Fox! Is it any wonder Obama hates them? They tell the truth.
Demonstrating that craziness is not confined to the Bay State and D.C., the IFC, a branch of the World Bank, both of which are largely funded by American taxpayers, approved “a $26 million loan to build a luxury hotel in Ghana . . .

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes!
Taxes, Taxes, Taxes!
For those residing under rocks or in Neverland, on or about April 15th, you will be expected to pony up an excessively high percentage of your hard-earned income to Uncle Sam or to his state and municipal imitators.
Of course, if you’re among the 35% or so of Americans who are living scotfree of income taxes, you’re “in like Flynn” on April 15th, exempt from what Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. called, “the price we pay for civilization,” what 21st century taxpayers would call an inordinate charge, which taxpayers would call the people who don’t pay any income taxes leeches.
What better word describes people who suck at the public teat and who contribute nothing toward the the sustenance of that teat?
Still, there’s even more bad news for us honest taxpayers: For those who haven’t noticed, income taxes are just the beginining. In governmental sleights of hand designed to make us schlups think the IRS and its state counterparts are the only governmental pocket-pickers and to convince us that taxes are really in the public’s best interests, the feds, states, and localities have cooked up all kinds of thievery.
Ken and Daria Dolan outline just some of those tricks of the governmental trade: http://aol.it/hWuFJt
Take, for instance, what are termed “sin taxes,” financial penalties for what bureaucrats deem activities detrimental to our health and moral well being. Testimony to political hypocrisy, the imposition of such behavioral taxes presupposes the moral superiority of the imposers who, all too often, are imposters.
The Dolans cite levies on liquor, gambling, and smoking but include in other categories taxes on equally “sinful” pursuits such as strip shows and the like as well as taxes on those who indulge in a friendly game of poker with playing cards. . .

Mayor Boomboom and His Berkeley Soulmates
Mayor Boomboom and His Berkeley Soulmates
Shakespeare said it first in Twelfth Night: “Some [people] are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” At the risk of mortally wounding the immortal words of the Bard, “Some people and institutions presume to greatness, some achieve greatness on false pretenses, and some are simply hypocrites despite their achievements.”
The esteemed, liberal mayor of New York City, Michael Rubens Bloomberg, and the city of Berkeley, California, home to the ultra-liberal University of California at Berkeley, exemplify my Shakespearean mis-quotation.
Bloomberg, less than affectionately known in some quarters as Boomboom, is the mega-wealthy presidential/gubernatorial wannabe who wields his mayoral authority as if he were a king with divine rights as opposed to being the mayor who unethically usurped his current position by subverting New York’s term limits law.
One has to wonder what drives a multibillionaire who rose from relatively humble origins as a nice, Jewish boy in Boston to be so driven by an insatiable desire for power that he rules New York City as a virtual potentate brooking no opposition. One wonders only until one understands who and what Michael Bloomberg is, namely insatiably power hungry.
Democrat, Republican, Independent Bloomberg, his party affiliation dependent on the political climate winds blow, he is also known as the Nanny Mayor obsessed with supervising the lives of his subjects and dictating to them what they should and should not do, whether it be using too much salt or consuming excessive sugar or indulging in the filthy habit of tobacco smoking indoors, outdoors, in public parks, in the fields, in the hills, and on the beaches.
In his latest demonstration of who and what he is, Bloomberg reinforced his campaign against the Second Amendment, his tireless effort to strip honest, law-abiding citizens of the right to keep and bear arms so that dishonest, law-breaking criminals would have exclusive privilege to that right.
Long a proponent of “gun control” and ignoring statistics, the megalomaniacal Bloomberg has now embarked on a new campaign, ostensibly to “fix” the broken national gun check system. He has hired a truck, emblazoned with the news, “34 Americans Are Killed with Guns Every Day,” for a 2-month tour of the country: http://tiny.cc/jsb7n
Shamelessly capitalizing on the Tucson murders by a confirmed whacko in January, neither Boomboom nor his truck clarify that the bulk of those murders . . .

Tidbits: Toilets, Whitey, and Whoopi
Tidbits: Toilets, Whitey, and Whoopi
Toilets: Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
Under 3-term Mayor Michael Boomboom/Bloomberg, New York City is fast evolving into the Nanny Capital of America. Smoking is banned virtually everywhere, sodium-salt is restricted in restaurants, and sugary foods are next on the hit list as Bloomberg continues his quest to care for every health need of New Yorkers, at the expense of depriving them of the right to decide when and where they will puff and what they can eat.
Big Mike is watching you!
Perhaps bowing to complaints that the city is becoming a mini-nanny state with arbitrary rules imposed by an supposedly omniscient, authoritarian government, New York is now getting into toilets, actually into all things watery.
Already all the rage in Europe, “dual flush” toilets are coming to a New York bathroom near you.
As part of a wide-ranging water conservation law passed by the City Council this past week, “new toilets will have to be high water efficient or ‘dual-flush,’ which allow users to choose between a high pressure flush for solid waste, and a low-pressure flush for liquid:” http://tiny.cc/ao674
See! Bloomberg can now say, we allow individual decision-making, even if that decision is rather simple except in certain cases when toilet users . . . Well, use your own personal experience and imagination.
No word yet on whether thousands of new city workers will have to be hired to monitor strict compliance with the liquid-solid rules.
Whitey or Whitney?
Speaking of toilets, America’s educational system may be immersed in one but . . .

Bloomberg Bristles!
Mayor Bloomberg and the Impertinence of Probing Questions
Serving as mayor of New York City has been called the second toughest job in the country, second only to the presidency.
That description of the Big Apple before it was the Big Apple was coined forty years ago by then-mayor John Lindsay, probably the city’s second-worst mayor in the twentieth century after Jimmy Walker.
Oddly for such a tough job, people seem to fight like hell to set up residence in Gracie Mansion. The current mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has declined to live there for reasons of his own, probably because it would be beneath his dignity.
A lifelong Democrat, zillionaire Bloomberg switched parties in 2001 and ran as a Republican, defeating the hapless Mark Green to succeed Rudy Giuliani, one of the best mayors in the city’s history. The new mayor effectively bought the mayoralty, the only way a candidate with an “R” after his name could hope to win in today’s NYC.
Giuliani was legally prohibited from running again due to New York’s term limits law. Such legalities posed no obstacles to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg was as much a Republican as Arlen Spector . . .
