News... of the Weird and Outrageous

"AN OUTRAGED shopkeeper is selling his business after being tormented by a crazy whistling campaign."

"Mr Caminito, 56, said: 'There is a conspiracy against me and I have got sick of it. My health is suffering.'People come in and whistle and it's just to bother me because they know I don't like it. They do it on purpose."

I think his problem is his own attitude and behavior. Imagine being so thin skinned as to boot someone out of your shop for whistling. Yes, he is within his rights to not serve people and to ask them to leave - its his property. However, that kind of behavior will quickly gain a person a reputation. "Conspiracy" is too strong a word for it, but I believe that people are deliberately hassling him with whistling. He is selling his shop, his "health is suffering". Please. He's a ninny.

No ham for Christmas: Muslim menu for WA hospital

"A WA hospital has scrubbed baked ham from its Christmas menu, fearing Muslim patients could be offended"

"It has also overhauled its entire menu so that all meals are now halal – containing only meat and other food prepared according to Muslim customs."

Lets think about this. Apparently, people can't eat the things they like because other people MIGHT be offended by the fact that they eat it. I understand not serving ham to muslims - or jews, its against their religion, after all.

What if I'm offended that my food is served only to muslim custom? I am not a muslim, what business does the hospital have forcing me to comply to their diet?

IMO, this hospital administrator is a dhimmi. A person who is frightened and intimidated and bends over compliantly to anyone who might possibly threaten him/her.

Police dog is defendant in lawsuit

A DOG is being sued? Crazy. Only people can be sued. Corporations can be sued only because incorporations create a "legal person" in the eyes of the law. If the law in that state allows property to be sued, they are in desperate trouble.

Good grief. When will it end!?! And, why do "WE" have to be subject to "their" ways? It’s one thing to move to a Middle Eastern country and have to be subjected to “this,” and have to wear an abeya, and not drive, and have no bacon for breakfast. But it’s entirely another issue when it’s happening in my own country!

It won't be long now... Kids won't have "summer vacation" from school. They'll have the month of Ramadan off, instead. And no more Christmas vacation - oh, wait - it's not "Christmas vacation" anymore, is it? I think it is now "winter break." It will soon be "Eid" and no more "winter break."

How is it that only the bloggers are the ones questioning all of this? Doesn't anyone else care? It just seems so insane for everyone to be going about their daily routine as if this – changing VA menus! – is all quite normal… No. It. Is. Not!

I am so NOT sorry I knocked that little kid in the head with my pocketbook on the plane home, back to the Mid-East, yesterday because her parents can’t be bothered to teach her to sit in her seat and not hang out in the aisle! And I am so NOT sorry I told the flight attendant that I had to be reseated because the woman [dressed head to toe in black] next to me smelled! And I am so NOT sorry that I grabbed my husband’s butt in the elevator the other night in Vienna and so totally offended the woman dressed in black. I am so sick and tired of being politically correct that it is scary. I'm afraid sometimes about what I might do, and just hope that I don't end up getting arrested - here - or there!
