IMHO, the funniest story line to come out of the French team’s debacle is the tongue lashing they got from former star player Zinedine Zidane.Zidane criticized the team for its “ridiculous, childish behavior.”What a load of crap.Y’all rember Z2 dontcha?Last World Cup he got red carded in the final game for givin’ Marco Materazzi the old Glasgow Kiss.Talk about a classy guy.Getting scolded by Zinedine Zidane for acting like idiotic morons is like being called dumb by George W. Bush.True story.
Tighty-righties, tinfoil hat wearin’ loonies and teabaggers alike had collective conniptions.“Obama is soft on terror,” they said.“We need more security at airports,” they whined.And on…and on…and on.Here’s what they don’t get: Airplanes, in the first place, aren’t totally safe.If God had wanted man to fly, he’d have given him some sort of wing-like appendage.Secondly, airports and airplanes should be the least of our worries.Why?
Americans have this pompous sense of superiority over peoples of other nations.“We’re smarter, we’re better, and by golly, we love ourselves,” we say.And that’s the problem.While Dick “Dr. Evil” Cheney and Tom “Over the” Ridge and their ilk piss and moan about airport security, the REAL terrorists are planning their next attack and it isn’t gonna be in an airport or on a plane.Too much security…too much hassle….been there, done that.No, terrorists hit you where you’re most vulnerable and when you least expect it.That’s why they call it terrorism.
So, while republican hacks try to score points with the voting public by vilifying Janet Napolitano and Barry-O and scaring the bejeezus out of the flying American public, the bad guys are gonna pop us while we’re not looking.It might be in a shopping mall, it might be on a bus or a train.But it won't be at an airport…because that’s exactly where we expect them to be.SHEESH!Americans…we think we’re so smart.Too bad we’re not.
Pickling The Beast is rants, ramblings and thought burbles spewed from the brain pan of pj Connolly. If you're sensitive, thin-skinned or easily offended...get to clickin' the hell outta here. Otherwise, enjoy.
The truth shall set you free...then it'll come back to bite you in the ass and make you pay.
