It's CADOF Day!

Greetings, gentle Dot Calm Readers!

As you may have seen, I've been a wee bit busy on the blog recently.

I went at it full tilt in the foreknowledge that my schedule was about to change and that I would have less time to blog. As I saw it, I was popping a few extra morsels into the pipeline for y'all.

Alas, I will not be able to keep my promise of catching up on Internet memes and funnies dating back to the fateful Spring that took Dot Calm out of commission. There is just way too much material to cover. As it is, I am still catching up. So, if topics are conspicuously missing, it's not because I'm not aware of them. I'm dancing as fast as I can.

Today, I'm honoring one of my favorite political Facebook pages--Conservatives Are Destroying Our Future--with a montage. Not all of the memes are funny, but if you're patient enough to scroll all the way through, you will find a few chuckles. (BTW, I also read Conservative Clown Car, David's Snarky Politics Place, and Smart Arse Liberal. For irreverent humor, I go to Betty Bowers. For irreverent humor and/or to have my faith restored in humanity, I go to Facebook God, the Good Lord Above.)









This one only applies to the politicians:

Message to Alabama Gov: If you really want to punish Syrian refugees, don't prevent, LET them move to Alabama.

We're just lucky George W. Bush isn't President of France, or they might respond to the attacks on Paris by preemptively invading Greenland.
-Warren Holstein

If Al Gore had been elected [sic], we wouldn't have gone to war in Iraq, and Isis would not exist.
Or, as Meredith Cable posted to remind us, "You mean if Jeb Bush had not rigged the Florida election so that the Supreme Court could install George Bush as president, we would not have gone to war in Iraq and Isis wouldn't exist."

SAL posted an article: Jimmy Carter's cancer has stopped spreading, and he is responding well to treatment. All I can say is, "YAY!!!!!"

A controversial $90 million Noah's Ark replica is being built in Kentucky to 'bring the Bible to life', because it'd be dumb to use that $90m to feed and house the poor like Jesus wanted.
-Adam Wolf

Yes, SAL is only talking about politicians here...


From poster Trey South:


'Canada' Most Common Google Search During GOP Debate
-Andy Borowitz

SAL posted an article: Ben Carson has called for harsh criminal penalties for health care fraud, but the Republican presidential candidate and his wife also have kept millions invested with a close friend who admitted defrauding insurance companies

SATIRE from SAL:

"Happy Veterinarians Day!!" 

-Sarah Palin

Tammy Duckworth's life did change, but happily, it didn't end

Introducing David's Snarky Politics Place

From David's Snarky Politics Place

Hey, look--it's my Dad! Happy belated Veterans' Day to one and all, including "Snarky" (David).

I'd have signed up, too, but I guess we were too white-bread middle-class...when we got to the recruiter's office in response to an invitation I received while in college to sign up for OCS, they wouldn't give us the time of day...! GO NAVY just the same! Oh, and GO ARMY for my uncle who fought in Korea. GO MARINES for my old neighbors, and GO AIR FORCE for the all-around good guy who sat at the desk behind me at one of my old jobs.

I don't believe in wars of aggression or corporate greed, but I do believe that, as a nation, we need a strong defense. Dot Calm felt the same way and was very proud of her daughters when they went into DoJ and DoD. Come to think of it, her whole immediate family had clearances at one time or another....





Yikes...!






Hitler was not an atheist--at least, he never espoused disbelief in God. He was reared Catholic but later grew to dislike and distrust organized religion; nonetheless, he mentioned God frequently in his speeches and writings. He maintained the "God With Us" motto where it already existed and allowed or instructed for it to be placed on German Army belt buckles. Hitler seems to have been influenced by Martin Luther in the dislike and distrust of Jews that led to the Holocaust.


I am seriously digging Pope Francis! As David "Snarky" himself says, "That sound you hear is Conservative heads exploding..."
