We can't do it that way! That would make too much sense!

I am sorry to have to admit this folks but I really am becoming a bit of a bigot as I get older, and I hope wiser!

The one good thing about aging is that I don't have to toe the line, or be politically correct, or cower in fear before the femminazi's or any of that other crap that's going around now. I do what I want, and say what I want, and if ya don't like it, that's T.F.B. (That's one I just made up!)

A couple of things got me going this morning..........., but first let me tell you about how I find this blog extremely cathartic, in that whenever I run across something stupid or asinine that someone else does, I can get on a high horse and rant and rave about it to my hearts content.

Very invigorating! Plus if I didn't have this outlet I would keep it bottled up and eventually explode a dew times a week leading people to question my sanity!

Anyway!

I called "information" on the phone this morning, and the woman who answered couldn't speak English very well.

"Wait a minute!" I thought to myself. "If this broad can't speak English, she also can't understand what you want, and even more important........ can't spell what you're looking for!

BUT!!!!

That doesn't mean shit to a phone company that is more interested in hiring minorities for their affirmative action, than doing something sensible like looking after "customer satisfaction!"

Then, since I was on a roll anyway, I decided to vent about those idiots "over there" as well!

What better group to pick on than "The Taliban."

Those stalwart protectors of all things holy and good.

Those defenders of the faith and keepers of the flame.

Those twelfth century morons that need to be dragged, screaming and kicking, into the nineteenth century! (At least!)

Here's why!

Authorities in Pakistan's Swat Valley have resumed vaccinating children for polio, a practice the Taliban had banned as un-Islamic before they were beaten back by an army offensive, an official said Tuesday.

The Islamist militants, who began taking over the valley in 2007, had declared a campaign to vaccinate against the potentially crippling disease was un-Islamic because it was foreign-funded.

Swat Taliban leader Maulana Fazullah also said the vaccinations were a Western conspiracy to make Muslim children infertile.

In Swat, government official Khurshid Khan, a doctor, said last inoculations against polio were administered nearly a year ago.

Six cases of polio have been discovered since vaccinations resumed Monday. Some 215,000 children are a target of the three-day campaign, he said.

He said Pakistani health officials had to quit their campaign last September after several attacks by the militants. The department made another attempt to restart in January, but that was quickly abandoned after another attack.

"Our staff was beaten and our equipment was snatched," Khan told The Associated Press.

Swat resident Yar Mohammad said the people of the valley welcomed the resumption of the campaign.

"The militants have been depriving our children of our basic right. It is our national responsibility to secure our kids against all diseases," said Mohammad, who lives in the valley's main city, Mingora.

Polio has been eradicated in most countries. But in Pakistan, Nigeria, Afghanistan and India it remains endemic, according to the World Health Organization.

The disease mostly strikes children under age 5 and is spread when people come into contact with the feces of those with the virus. It usually attacks the nervous system, causing paralysis, muscular atrophy, deformation and sometimes death.

Oh my God, if ignorance were bliss..... those assholes would be as "Happy as Larry!"
