Imagine the outrage if those vulgar Christmas cards poked fun at Islam instead ,............................................................................................. By Stephen Glover for the Daily Mail 18 December 2014 +9 Who would want to ruin the Christmas story? One answer is stationery chain Scribbler. It is stocking some 50 Christmas cards which carry obscene, offensive or even anti-Christian messages such as those pictured One answer is a stationery chain called Scribbler. It is stocking, by my count, some 50 Christmas cards which carry obscene, offensive or even anti-Christian messages. Jesus Christ is shown on one card in what seems to be a ‘selfie’ pose, with the slogan ‘It is all about me’. Another card shows Jesus with his disciples saying: ‘It’s my birthday and I want a pony.’ These cards are coarse, irreverent or profane. And yet there were plenty of people buying them when I went into a Scribbler’s store in Kensington, West London, yesterday afternoon. The beauty and mystery of the Nativity are plainly lost on them. In the same store there are cards bearing the crudity ‘Ho Ho Ho Mother F***’. Another features Father Christmas under the slogan ‘Merry Kiss My A’. A third says on the front ‘This Christmas Treat Yourself to some A**’. And so on. John Proctor, who owns the Scribbler chain, had previously told the Mail that his shops put lewd cards on the higher shelves. This appears not to be the case. It certainly wasn’t in the store I visited. Young children could have easily seen them. John Proctor, who owns Scribbler, defended the displays and said the cards were popular with young adults The fascinating question is how it has become respectable — or almost respectable — for a High Street chain to sell such cards, and for ordinary, decent people to buy them without apparently thinking twice about it. When asked if he would mock the Prophet Muhammad John Proctor, Scribbler's founder, said he certainly wouldn’t. ‘I wouldn’t even go there,’ he told this newspaper. ‘That would be a very silly thing to do’ The cards featuring explicit messages are stocked within full view of children in High Street stores +9 'Parents should be able to shop with their children without being confronted by these products, ' said Normans Wells of the Family Education Trust +9 Read more: dailymail.co.uk

Jane Fonda is building a shrine to herself ........................................................................... By Julie Gordon December 22, 2014 pagesix.com Even Jane Fonda needs a reminder of her fabulousness. At 77, the actress is building a “shrine” to herself that she hopes will boost her recently faltering confidence. “I’ve found myself backsliding a bit of late in terms of where my thoughts have tended to reside (not always with the generosity of vision I wish for) and my confidence has been iffy for the past four months,” the stunning star wrote in a blog post Sunday, her 77th birthday. “So, while meditating today an idea came to me: I’m going to create a shrine to myself – or, at least, the self I wish to be, the self who began to manifest when I was a young girl before the s–t hit the fan,” she continued. The “shrine” will be a small place filled with items that remind Fonda of “the qualities that represent my best self.” So far, she plans to include a school report from the fourth grade. She’ll spend the new year collecting objects and symbols that “remind me that I’m brave.” “I’ve been forgetting that,” she revealed. “I will put a special candle on the shrine and burn sandalwood and put some special Native American artifacts that I’ve treasured over the years in honor of the Mohawk Nation where my Fonda ancestors built their homestead,” she added. The “This Is Where I Leave You” star celebrated her birthday at a dinner with boyfriend Richard Perry, who is battling Parkinson’s disease, brother Peter Fonda and Peter’s wife, Parky. In June, Fonda received the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, where she was feted by fellow A-listers Meryl Streep, Sally Field and Sandra Bullock.

The Obama Administration traded five hardened Taliban terrorists for Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, only now to find out that Bergdahl is probably going to be court-martialed by the Army for desertion. They gave up five terrorists who are likely to kill Americans again, for an Army deserter.

The decision was made at Tuesday night’s city council meeting. The city council also repealed a 2010 law establishing a flag lottery that allowed flags of any religious denomination to be flown at the memorial. (Excerpt) Read more at myfox8.com ...

During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, "We the People of the U.S.A." produced the following: 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks. We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb, and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany. It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama Administration couldn't even build a web site that worked.
