Mark’s Soap Box

Countdown to Christmas

So-called Black Friday. [I have never understood why the media termed it that. I have to assume it’s because of their hatred of all things commerce.] has begun. The "outlet malls" here opened at Midnight, Kohl’s opened at 4am, Walmart at 5am, J.C. Penny also, and Target — the store that hates the Salvation Army and loves the Islamo-fascists — opened at 6am; the normal stores — several surprisingly — opened at 8am.

People were camping out Thursday night — forgoing friends and family — awaiting the opening of stores on Friday. Sick, and disgusting. No item this year is a "must have" or even buzz worthy; and yet they queued up. Isn’t the media telling us the economy is in a depression?

This is pathetic. The L.A. Times is cheering on hate, again.

First the fools pass a law that will not stand.

DARDENNE PRAIRIE, Mo. (AP) – City officials unanimously passed a measure Wednesday making online harassment a crime, days after learning that a 13-year-old girl killed herself last year after receiving cruel messages on the Internet.

Then they behave exactly like the people they say they feel have violated that same law. It’s surreal.

Four years ago today, the House of Reps took another step forward toward Socialized Medicine, and bankrupting the country. Thanks.

In 2003, U.S. House of Representatives and Senate conferees finished the final version of the approximately $400 billion, 1,000-page bill that would create prescription drug coverage for 42 million Americans on Medicare.

Just think the baby-boomers just started getting on medicare. Oh joy!

Something good did happen this day, the next year.

In 2004, Iraqi authorities set Jan. 30, 2005, as the date for the nation’s first election since the collapse of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship.

So you want to be like us? Fine, here is a little taste of what it’s like to us.

SEATTLE, Nov. 20 (UPI) — The new head of the Lifelong AIDS Alliance in Seattle is looking for a new hostess for Gay Bingo after firing Glamazonia over speech issues.

AIDS group seeks drag queen for bingo calling. Seems that Glamazonia was a bit on the "rude" side. So much so that the (in)tolerant Homosexuals at the Bingo night were offended, and had Glamazonia fired.

Hubert says he agreed to take anti-harassment training and was open to discussing the language he used at Gay Bingo.

That’s rich. A homosexual needs "sensitivity" training? Tell me again this is not about intolerance.
