Nobody’s Email and Beeping Thoughts on a Sunday
Nobody Gets Email
This was a weird day. The internet was down most of the day, not sure why. Ferguson is trying to get back to normal, but Spike Lee is NOT about to let it.
Obama still plays golf. Pelosi has her water. ISIS want to destroy Chicago OR Las Vegas. The News is always so cheery.
So, I went to my local Wal-Mart, and only saw one other white person. There were mostly blacks, and Chinese, South Americans…and most of them looked as if they had just gotten here.
Finally, I’m a minority! Where’s my college tuition? Where’s my check.?
And then, there was the full-dressed Muslim woman in Wal-Mart, wearing the whole “slit on the eyes” outfit. Just walking around in the female shorts section. (Ha)
Sorry. Creepy. When I went out to get in my car, I saw a black man driving a a brand new Hummer, and a black women driving a brand new GM Buick, (about a 60,000 car), reminding me that most of the blacks in North Country are doing better than the whites. At least if you judge by the automobiles they drive.
Almost fainted at the grocery prices now, which are SO high, it actually is cheaper to eat at McDonald’s. A whole chicken, went from $6 to $14. A ham is over $30 dollars. And don’t even talk about hamburger. I refuse to pay it.
Which, I’m sure, is what Michelle wants.
Anyway, is it just me? Is anybody else noticing this astronomical inflation?
Or is this being caused by the fact that over half the country is on food stamp, and therefore, that’s why the prices are soaring? I can’t blame the Fed?
Anyway, just thoughts on a Sunday…..and this video is another one.
Great commercial. Maybe they should do that here.

Have you noticed the sky-high price of butter? Since the beginning of the year, it’s just about doubled in price so this morning I decided to find out why. I googled “butter prices” and came up with this article (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-07-23/butter-surges-to-16-year-high-as-u-s-exports-cut-reserve.html) which explained that the U.S. is now exporting huge amounts of butter, which has driven the price up. I asked myself, “Who is buying all this butter?, and later in the article, I found my answer: Iran and other Middle Eastern states! WTF??? I thought we had slapped economic sanctions on Iran.
Being curious now, I did some further research and guess what? Last November Obama lifted the sanctions on Iran for “food and medical supplies”. Humanitarian reasons, you know? Something called the “Joint Plan of Action”
“…establishes “a financial channel to facilitate humanitarian trade for Iran’s domestic needs using Iranian oil revenues held abroad. Humanitarian trade [is] defined as transactions involving food and agricultural products, medicine, medical devices, and medical expenses incurred abroad. This channel could also enable transactions required to pay Iran’s UN obligations…and direct tuition payments to universities and colleges for Iranian students studying abroad.”
So think about that next time you’re eating your buttered toast.

I’m afraid to think of what Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Bahrain might be using all that butter for. All of that oil money and they can’t they afford K-Y jelly for their goats and camels?
For the record, fas.usda.gov lists Saudi Arabia as the largest importer of butter ($47 million worth in the first half of 2014), followed by Morocco ($27 million), Egypt ($16 million), Iran ($14 million), Bahrain ($10 million, and Turkey ($7 million), and ). Iran was #2 in 2013 when Obama listed the sanctions. For comparison, China only imported about $850 thousand worth for all of last year.

So, camels are just not good for making butter? Good information snopercod! I will remember that the next time I see a Muslim in my grocery store…I will hand her the butter and tell her… Now…use it wisely.
