There is just some stuff we do not need to know. Like when that friend from high school who you haven't seen or spoken to in 30+ years posts keeps posting photos of what they eat every single meal. [And what is even more ridiculous are the "friends" who post comments about it!] Or maybe the endless "as it's happening" vacation photos. Yes, we get it, you are in Hawaii eating poi at luau! How do people have any time to have any fun if they are always posting how much fun they are having?
But this...this is something so horrifying that we just didn't need to know and shouldn't have to know! Please tell me why, why, why did we need to know that Vice President Joe Biden likes to swim in the nude a lot. I just never needed to know that and now I will never be able to forget it. When I read about his motorcade crashing into some poor innocent bystander I will now wonder "Did Joe have his pants on?" Or if he is hosting some foreign dignitary by the pool, will he remember Angela Merkel probably doesn't need to see that he really isn't wearing a wire? There isn't enough brain bleach or vodka in the world that can ever erase this image from my brain. And because misery loves company I am sharing this photo of Ol' Joe in his altogethers so that I am not alone...
Okay, it's photoshopped...I think, but...Hah...now it's in your head too!
As always feel free to change the subject...to just about anything so I can stop thinking about Joe Biden...

*Vomits* Bev, curse you for making me see that!
On the lighter side of the news, liberals are shocked and horrified that someone wrote a children's book about responsible gun use.
Reminds me of when conservatives used to cry themselves to sleep about 'My two dads' or whatever.
I think such clearly political screeds change nothing because kids are even less interested in being sermonized than adults are.
I'm not saying kids don't read those books (we parents force our kids to do a lot of stuff they don't want for their own good) but I'm saying that such books are at worst helping parents push their kids down whatever road they want them to go down.

Ann Coulter is calling Christians who help the poor abroad idiots. Between Trump, Coulter and that conspiracy guy, the fringe has really worked itself into a lather about this guy.
I have been following politics since I was a teen and its mostly predictable stuff, but I can still be surprised sometimes :).

Which explains why American Christians go on "mission trips" to disease-ridden cesspools. They're tired of fighting the culture war in the U.S., tired of being called homophobes, racists, sexists and bigots. So they slink off to Third World countries, away from American culture to do good works, forgetting that the first rule of life on a riverbank is that any good that one attempts downstream is quickly overtaken by what happens upstream.

Not only that, but it's our country. Your country is like your family. We're supposed to take care of our own first.
Bev, I don't need to know anything about Biden, much less that he's running around the White House nekkid. //shudders
Hah! Sorry Anthony, but I had no choice. :-)
As to the children's book. Seriously what are they afraid of ? That this book will turn their kids into card carrying NRA members? These are the same liberals who are mostly the great defenders of violent video games that supposedly have no affect on young minds.
Anthony, I cannot fathom what Coulter is thinking calling missionaries idiots. If it weren't for doctors and nurses who go to these places to help, it would be much worse. They know the risk and, in fact, the doctor and volunteer that have recently been in isolation in Atlanta are being used as guinea pigs to test a new vaccine that may just help sideline Ebola.
And you know, Donald Trump is a germaphobe, so he gets hinky just shaking hands with regular CEO's. I imagine that the thought of Ebola being within 5000 miles of him has got him in his personal sterilization unit in a hazmat suit just to be extra careful.
And for Coulter, I think that she's gone off the deep end. I used to really like her, but now...wacky. It was probably dating Bill Maher for so long that did it.
Andrew - I was thinking that it might act as a holistic healing...the image of Joe in the buff would knock all that pain out! I guess it could also have the opposite effect and make it worse...sorry.
I'm damaged forever just thinking about Nekkid Joe..
Yeah...sorry, Critch, but I needed enough people to suffer from the same disorder (Post Traumatic Biden Disorder or "Nekkid Joe" syndrome) for Obamacare insurance to cover my "therapy"...
For Ann Coulter to attack the Ebola docs, who are risking their live (and could die) is pretty stupid. To badmouth a person who worked abroad in a poverty-stricken, diseased hellhole to help make life at least a little bit better for them and is now seriously ill is, well, pretty jerk ass.
Also, there ARE missionaries working in the US. They just don't make headlines because no one ever hears about them being caught up in a civil war or epidemic.
Oh, and this:
"What you do for the least of these, you do for me." —Jesus Christ
Also, Trump, Ebola is NOT an airborne pathogen. It can only spread through direct contact with bodily fluids, such as blood, vomit, saliva, sweat, urine, or diarrhea. It can also be spread by coming into contact with soiled clothing.
This makes it dangerous for health workers (such as the Americans who became ill) or family members who care for those stricken. Now, in Africa, which has substandard healthcare and by all reports is generally pretty crappy, this results in the disease spreading like wildfire. In the USA, however, these 2 persons are likely to be under a VERY strict quarantine.
Of all the people who could potentially spread Ebola to the United States, those two patients are the least likely.
Now, why bring them here? They are American citizens. Civis Americanus Sum.
Actually Kit, what has cause this particular Ebola outbreak to spread is that there was no containment early on. And to your point, I would much rather risk American lives trying to save these American citizens than Bowe Bergdahl...but that's just me.
Maybe we'll get lucky and the extremists at both ends will implode....We can call it the Era of Common Sense....
I think there is a song called "I don't look good naked anymore" that applies here.
Bev, Nekkid Joe Syndrome sounds like a horrible disease! It's like Ebola for the eyes.
Yes, it's "Eye-bola"!!
Note to self:
When title. of post says Stuff We Didn't NeedT Know...DO NOT LOOK!
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your tent, Bev!
The cartoon was pretty funny, though.
LOL! You have almost redeemed yourself with eye-bola, Bev!
When Obama speaks I get earbola.
Eye-bola is awesome! Nice one, Bev! :D
Ben - Earbola is just as funny! It's true, I start bleeding from ears whenever Obama speaks. And that cartoon should read "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Secret Service" because apparently the female members of Biden's Secret Service detail are not happy that Biden insists on being nude.
But about those fleas...
Don't get me wrong. I am glad that Obama is finally stepping up and helping the innocent people of Iraq. But what was it that made him do it?
It's all showmanship. If he inserted a large force of the 82nd Airborne with orders to kill every ISIS soldier they find it would mean something. This is just political posturing.
Totally off topic (because a naked Joe is more disturbing than Ebola), yesterday Senator Walsh(D) from Montana dropped out of the senate race after he was was found to have plagiarized a 2007 paper for his master's degree from the US Army War College. So far, nobody has been crazy enough to take on Congressman Daines(R) who already had a comfortable lead.
Daines is a good guy and hopefully this will lock up a senate seat held by a democrat for a 100 years. What irritates my father is that the story was not originally broke by a Montana news source but by the New York Times. Go figure...
That's great news, Koshcat!
Any money the dems spend on that campaign will be a waste, and I likes to see dems squandering their money, but I likes it more that a republican is taking over some dem turf,
Bev, if I was a female Secret Service agent assigned to Joe Biden I would demand hazardous duty pay and intensive psychotherapy.
Those ladies oughtta claim sexual harrassment. And the highest award the Secret Service has, because being exposed to a nekkid Biden is worse than taking a bullet.
Ben, You don't even need to be a woman anymore to claim sexual harassment in this instance.
Bev,
I don't think the bombing and food dropping is that big a deal (it won't change the dynamics), though if it were any 3rd world country other than Iraq we wouldn't be doing that much.
Its insane that we built the world's largest, most expensive embassy in Iraq ($750 million). That's money down the toilet and always was.
My grandson Michael is going to be christened this morning, then we will take care of all the family business...
Good luck, Critch!
