Danish Zoo Kills 4 Lions, 2 Cubs
Sadly I’m sure the Danish Zoo is far from the worst zoo in the world.

Rumsfeld Compares Obama To “A Trained Ape”
Last night Donald Rumsfeld told Fox News that U.S. diplomacy would be better if Obama was a ‘trained ape.’
Donald Rumsfeld, in case you forgot, told President Bush, the ape he trained, to invade Iraq after 9/11 because the real country behind the attack, Afghanistan, wasn’t a “target rich environment.” And we all know how that decision turned out. A million dead Iraqis, more than 4,000 dead Americans, chaos, and trillions of dollars added to our national debt.
It’s also worth noting that the CIA had Bin Laden cornered after 9/11. But Rumsfeld didn’t want George Tenet to get the collar, so he convinced the White House to order Tenet to stand down, and Rumsfeld devised his own plan in 2001 to kill Bin Laden. Ten years and another “trained ape” in the oval office later Bin Laden was finally dead.
We all know that, don’t we? Or do we? Are we capable of remembering anything? Do we remember that President Obama was the one who killed Bin Laden? Do we remember that Rumsfeld got everything wrong about everything? I sometimes wonder considering the frequency we still hear from these charlatans like Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz.
These guys were wrong on everything and yet they still get to opine. Granted they’re mostly on Fox News, but they still show up from time to time on what you might consider more legitimate mainstream news programs like Meet The Press.
After 9/11 all we heard was “Never Forget.” We have forgotten everything.
Ah, what the hell. Henry Kissinger is still vetting GOP presidential nominees to make sure those “trained apes” are ignorant enough about foreign policy to be controlled by Wall Street. Kissinger broke so many laws as Nixon’s national security adviser up until just recently he couldn’t visit countries like Spain for fear of getting arrested.
Oh, and one more thing about Kissinger. Invading Iraq was the biggest mistake we made in Iraq. The second biggest mistake in Iraq was disbanding Saddam Hussein’s army and thereby creating a network of Sunni terrorists.
Whose idea was it to send Hussein’s army home? Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority of Iraq Paul Bremer, one of Kissinger’s “trained apes.”
Bremer did it without consulting anyone in the Bush White House. Bush was appalled. But couldn’t do anything because he didn’t know the difference between a Sunni and Shiite, and had to depend on his trainers who did.
This brings us to Rumsfeld’s latest comments about President Obama. How do these people sleep at night? Sadly, they have no problem.
Donald Rumsfeld: U.S. diplomacy would be better if Obama was a ‘trained ape’ (via Raw Story )
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on Monday blasted President Barack Obama’s diplomacy, saying a “trained ape” could do a better job. In an interview with Fox News host Greta Van Susteren, Rumsfeld complained that relations with…
Lindsay Lohan Retires
Unless some brave doctor steps up and tells Lindsay Lohan to retire from show business the poor kid doesn’t have much longer for this world.
“Lindsay Lohan Retires” is the only headline anybody should be printing about the troubled actress. From the time Lindsay Lohan was a kid adults have been pimping her, and last night’s appearance with Oprah was just another example of the poor girl getting “turned out.”
Anybody who puts Lindsay in a movie or on TV or writes about her is enabling her mental illness, and this isn’t going to end well for the kid, and I do mean kid. Lindsay Lohan is a kid in her twenties and if the money grubbing adults she’s surrounded by don’t find a new victim she will be dead soon.
Fame was never the source of her illness. But fame and more jobs as an actress won’t help. You can’t sober up in front of 350 million Americans. There’s a reason it’s called Alcoholic’s Anonymous. Her road to recovery starts with her becoming anonymous.
Watch this video. Shame on Oprah. Shame on her parents. Shame on all of us for enabling her sickness. But most importantly shame on every doctor who doesn’t tell her to get out of this business.
