Just finished up coaching my son's 7th grade football team. We finished as champions. We were 8-0 and outscored our opponents 299 to 22. Domination!!!!
By the way, kids are huge these days. These were 12 year old boys and my line (my son included) averaged 195 lbs. That's just crazy.

We are the champs!
Ladies and Gentlemen
. . .your president:
Speaking at a photo opportunity at the American Red Cross on Tuesday, President Obama stated that in America, “we leave nobody behind.” This remark is seen as clumsy and perhaps insensitive considering the revelations that requests to assist two Navy SEALs trapped on the roof of the American consulate in Benghazi were denied, thus abandoning the heroic Americans to die at the hands of Al Qaeda.
The gall of this S.O.B. is mind-numbing.
Foolsbook
I used to have a page on Facebook and for a minute or two it was kind of neat to reconnect with people from my past until I realized that none of those assholes had changed and it was just the same clique bullshit from high school, only now everyone had kids and a mortgage.
Also, Facebook began changing and changing again their "privacy" policy to the point where the privacy became less and less and the control over your own information was more in the hands of Facebook than you.
So, goodbye yellow brick road.
I went to a wake last night for my friend (actually an old friend's father who was my first employer and the nicest man I ever knew) who was murdered by a negro thug over a couple of grand. People I haven't seen since high school asked me if I was on Facebook. Apparently this is how we are all supposed to be connected these days. Nobody writes letters anymore because they are too busy describing their hangnails and ringworm infections on Facebook. Of course the answer to their question is a resounding no, to which they ask, "Well, why not?" And my answer is, "Well, why should I be?" The answer is as simple as that. Naturally, no one could give me any good reason why I should be on there, but if they asked (and they didn't) I could have given them several reasons why they should close their account today and never look back.
Saddle up sheeple, the end is near!
And here is another reason why I am not "connected" to my friends through this scurrilous and shameful company.

Tonka
Speaking of Tonka toys Captain, here is one of the largest mobile concrete pumps produced by Schwing America.
It can reach about 170 feet. That's about 52 meters if you are into meters and shit. And it's got more wheels than the Nation of Islam mothership.
Fished Out!
I'm telling you, when my cats get all liquored up on the hooch it becomes total uncontrollable mayhem around the house.
Last weekend, Shadow started making out with a bream and Wildcat went berserk and began starting small fires after huffing his stash of catnip. He then beat the hell out of an unsuspecting possum which then created a late night possum raid on the garbage can that I had to clean up. You ever try sweeping up week-old wet spaghetti noodles off a wooden deck before?
After that, he passed out on the couch only to wake every now and then in a stupor hollering for tuna fish.
An unmitigated disaster.
Bang!
This is what it looks like downrange of a snub-nose .44 magnum revolver. I say bring on the political riots!
Yes, that is a real picture. No Photoshop, and no photographers were harmed in the making of this photograph because it was me and I don't know what you people would do without my brilliant insight into things such as food, drunk cats, good looking women, and Jagermeister consumption.
Good One
You have to admit if there is anything outside of the head-chopping, camel-humping, female genital mutilations, and pedophilia that Muslims are good at, it is conspiracy theories.
And this just might be their best yet:
“Sources have confirmed that Hurricane Sandy, now buffeting America, was instigated by highly advanced technology in the possession of the Resisting Iranian regime and in coordination with our [Syrian] Resisting regime. These same sources have confirmed that there are experts in Syria who have contributed to this effort. This is punishment for those who attack Assad’s Syria.”
Voter Frauds
You know, I shudder when I think that my vote is cancelled out by someone as irrational as this.
An Irvine resident is requesting that the city install a sign to memorialize the hundreds of fish killed in a traffic crash in early October as they were being taken to Irvine Ranch Market.
In the letter, Dina Kourda, on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, asks the city's street maintenance superintendent to place the sign at the site of the crash on Walnut and Yale avenues.
The sign would read, "In memory of hundreds of fish who suffered and died at this spot," to remind tractor-trailer drivers of their responsibility to the animals who are "hauled to their deaths every day," according to the letter provided by PETA.
Add this to the fact that out president is the most overpaid pizza delivery boy in America and it is no wonder we are in dire financial trouble.
White Boogers
On cable in my hometown they used to have a public access channel and they might still but I live in the country now where I am safe from dumb fuckers like the asswipe who murdered my friend a couple of days ago.
Anyway, before I go off on a diatribe about that, let's get back to the public access channel. The PA channel here used to regularly broadcast the Jackson City Council meetings until the buffoonery and circus-like atmosphere became too much for the shameful, do-nothing nitwits who have been elected and re-elected to the council year after year after year. If you want a crash course in stupidity and English language lessons that would make you a star on Twitter, go sit in a one of those meetings. They no longer air those meetings unfortunately, but I sure hope they still air this other fellow who had his own show where he dressed in a African poncho and kufi hat and commiserated about racism, of course, and his Korean War experiences like digging foxholes with a "shivel" and seeing many "cas-u-alities."
Tax-payer subsidized National Public Radio I suppose is a type of public access, especially when they broadcast the idiocy of two racist blowhards like Tavis Smiley and Cornel West. This past Sunday Mr. Smiley was not available for his radio program so they substituted an equally vile replacement in the likes of Julianne Malveaux. For those of you who aren't familiar with this person here is an iota of her beliefs:
Racism is, after all, a disease. For these Tea Party members it is a pre-existing condition. My tongue is only partly planted in my cheek when I suggest that these folks need every provision of this new health reform legislation to get the mental health services that they need to overcome their racism. It cannot be healthy for people to work themselves up into such frenzy that they spit on legislators and shower them with epithets. Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) is a more magnanimous soul than I. From my perspective, the spitter should have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
One can only imagine how her appearance would turn out as a substitute racial demagogue on Smiley's show. Thankfully she didn't disappoint and thankfully Newsbusters listened so we didn't have to.
Here is some brilliant analysis from a "Professor" West and former President of Bennett College:
MALVEAUX: One of the statistics that frightened me was that a number of white women after the first debate because they felt that Romney was strong and Obama was weak. So, I mean I’m out of order her, but I’m saying, do these women engage in battered women syndrome? Do you want a bully in your face? This man (Romney) who’s pushing his finger and acting like you know Robo-Man, is that what you prefer?
You know, Brother Obama did not do his best in the first debate, we know that. But how do you switch your allegiance because somebody is a bully? And I’ll tell you I had fallen before the second debate and I hit my head, but I wouldn’t go to the doctor because I had to watch the debate. So when the man said the binders of women I thought he said the bondage of women.
WEST: Oh my God, my God.
MALVEAUX: I had to watch it a second time because I’m like okay I must be tripping.
Really? Tripping? "I must be tripping?"
What are you 15-years old and standing on the corner with yo' home girls?
Incredible exponential stupidity.
Too Many Questions
I came across an article this weekend that I didn't put much stock in in on the Canada Free Press website concerning the happenings in Behngazi and our governments role in arms trafficking to Syrian rebels.
I was ready to poo-poo all over that story as conspiracy and hyperbole until I read this editorial by retired Admiral James A. Lyons.
Obama and his hacks need to come clean now. This is a national disgrace and the pizza delivery boy needs to own up to his intransigence and possible treason.
Getting to Know Your Superpower - Vol. 7
Holy prostituka!
Two women were arrested on suspicion of prostitution after seven rooms were found in a building close to Sretensky Monastery where sexual services were offered from 1,750 roubles (£35) per hour.
Father Tikhon, the abbot of the monastery, is said to be a religious counsellor to Mr Putin, who is a confirmed Russian Orthodox believer.
There were conflicting reports over the ownership of the brothel, found in one of a chain of mini-hotels called Podushkin.
Hmmm, $56 per hour? I imagine that services were provided by something like this:

Polecats
Since we are the preeminent website for information about pole dancers, hot dogs and Islamic rat people, I feel obligated to share with you the latest news about Danny's Cabaret in my hometown.
You are all familiar with Danny's, right?
This is the image Danny's likes to portray to the general public.
This is the reality of what's going on behind closed doors.
That's quite the disparity in, um, image. And she ain't the only one who got caught flashing the naughty.

Doggone It!
Early voting has begun in the Great Republic of Texas and it appears that voters are pissed.

Michelle Obama Likes to Go Slumming
Sista keeps it real!
“There are times when I do kind of disguise it up, you know?” she said. “It’s a little harder because I’m so tall. You know, so you see people just kind of looking at me because I’m tall. And then it’s like… [gasps] ‘Oh, it’s you!’
“But every now and then I try to sneak out, but I don’t get to do it too much … It’s just a warm-up, cap,” she added before stopping herself: “I shouldn’t tell…”
Asked what she would do if she had just an hour to be a “normal” person, Obama replied: “I would walk out of the door of the White House like a regular person, walk down the street, go to the drug store, go to CVS, go in there, go shop. I’d go buy my toiletries, I’d pay money. I’d get a receipt. Yes. And then I’d go sit on the park, on the park bench and just watch people.
Helpless
As the Benghazi yarn spun by the White House continues to un-spin, today's revelation of stand down orders to the CIA during the attack sure does make that Blind Sheik for Ambassador Stevens hypothesis look a lot more plausible.
What did you know and when did you know it, King Putt?

Tolerance, Part 97,342
Grandmother tweets picture of grandchildren and the tolerant left goes apey.
This election nightmare will not be over soon enough.
Godspeed Mr. and Mrs. Romney.
Which Side Represents Your Point of View?
You know...Looking at the stark difference between these two women, I think God is a bit of a prankster.

Donald Trumped
Well Donald, is that it?
I've spent a lot of time trying to come up with a logical motivation for Obama sealing all of his personal records. It's one thing to scoff at the "Birthers" and other conspiracy types who've been pushing the birth certificate thing all these years, but it's another to try to reach a fact-based conclusion as to why the president wouldn't want his school records or others to be made public.
I can only conclude that there must be something in his school records that either indicates he is an idiot (already know that) or that he attended school fraudulently as a "foreign" student, which I think is the more logical assumption.
As far as Trump's announcement is concerned, well, who the hell knows with this blowhard? Some speculate that he's drawing attention away from attention-whore extraordinaire Gloria Allred and her dredging of family court issues from 25 years ago concerning Mitt Romney. Or maybe he already knows something and is giving Obama an honorable way out. Or maybe he is forcing Obama into a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Obama will look like a petty turd if he declines a 5 million dollar donation to save face. At the very least, Trump is piling shit on top of a political pile so high that Felix Bumgartner would have fallen into after about three seconds into his world record space jump.
All I know about Trump is what my culinary school roommate who worked for him at Trump's private club in Palm Beach told me years ago. He said to me that all the true things I've ever heard about Trump are true, and so are the lies.
The Kan-Klan
There was a news article recently about a black woman in Winnsboro, Louisiana who claimed to have been set on fire by three men wearing "white hoodies" who then proceeded to scrawl KKK on her car.
Well, not surprisingly, this all turns out to be bullshit. The "lady" in question set herself on fire.
Let me 'splain something to you folks who may not know about the KKK. The Klan is completely and totally irrelevant in the South. The last time "The Klan" even showed their faces in Mississippi was at the 2008 Presidential Debate held at The University of Mississippi and guess what? They were booed away from the venue by white people.
The last time they publically appeared prior to that was in the small town of Poplarville where they simply passed out literature about teen pregnancy.
Frightening stuff!
And as a matter of fact, the last known grand wiz in Mississippi or whatever they called him was murdered by a black man who did his yardwork. He was stabbed 35 times and set on fire. Karma is a bitch.
The Klan is an irrelevant and stupid organization, a ghost of a relic of times long gone. Sure, I'm positive there are still pot-bellied, beer-swilling, small-minded fools that meet and organize themselves and whip up awesome pipe-dreams about white domination, but you rarely and truly almost never see any Klan displays in the modern South. They have been reduced to nearly an afterthought thankfully, although sadly they still provide a convenient boogeyman for the media when need be.
So lady, we are sorry you set yourself on fire, but we have to inform you that. . .

Tolerance!
Remember the group of adults who heckled the children singing God Bless the USA in New York earlier this year?
Well, here is some more of that liberal tolerance against dissent, and children.
Here We Go Again
And I thought the left was supposed to be the tolerant, ideologically centered group. I mean, aren't they the ones that are constantly hectoring our side to be more compassionate, open and accepting of alternative lifestyles, views and every minority sub-section of our society?
Yet, when someone strays from the Newspeak. . .heaven forbid that anyone think outside the liberal box and especially so if it means going against the glass-jaw, Mini-Me-god titan Barack Obama.
Don't worry Stacey, there is a very large majority of this country that supports you and not just because you are voting for Romney. We support you because you stand up for the right to freely decide for yourself. Just as these people have decided for themselves that the only option is Obama (and that's fine although sad), you have to right to decide the same or different for yourself.
Anyway and beyond all that. . . nom nom nom.
Here We Go
And the award for next domino to fall in the Middle East goes to. . . .
**drumroll**
Lebanon! Yay Lebanon! Congratulations! This is what happens when you legitimize politically, and host, a terrorist organization! Hooray for Le-banon. . .da...da..da..da..da..da..da.. Le-banon. . .
Lebanese soldiers in armored vehicles fanned out across the country on Monday to break down civilian roadblocks and chase gunmen off the streets as tempers flared over the killing of a top intelligence official who was a powerful opponent of Syrian involvement in Lebanon.
Sectarian clashes killed at least six people. A seventh person was killed after soldiers returned fire following an attack on their patrol.
The killing of Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan in a Beirut car bomb on Friday sparked days of tensions, accusations and violence in Lebanon between supporters of Syrian President Bashar Assad and his opponents. Al-Hassan was solidly in the latter group, and his supporters, many of them Sunni Muslims, blamed Damascus for the killing.
Hate it for them, but you reap what you sow.

Heading out on the road this afternoon so no stories today about pot smoking birds or drunk cats.
I leave you with the graphic image of violence perpetrated against an innocent ice cream cone:

Meatheads.
From Aol.com:
Two siblings' alibi for allegedly trying to steal a TV was incest.
Police Robert and Amanda Larrivee, were caught trying to steal televisions from a Springfield, Mass. bar Sunday night, according to WGGB. A witness reported that the two entered the bathroom at Samuel's at the Basketball Hall of Fame around 9 p.m. and started "ripping the television off the wall."
A manager and another employee locked the Larrivees in the bathroom while they called police. When officers arrived, the pair reportedly claimed that they weren't stealing a TV, they were having sex, according to MassLive.com.

I bet the Dalai Lama knows the answer.

My kids can't get this song out of their heads. I expect a note from their principal soon.
Isn't it Ironic?
I guess the irony of the following statement is lost on mental midget Van Jones:
“President Obama is a towering figure on foreign policy,” Jones said during the panel discussion on ABC’s “This Week.” “You’ve got somebody with a Nobel Peace Prize and he killed Bin Laden.”
Dude, seriously.
Obama towers about as high as a pile of dog shit. That is, if he didn't eat the dog before it shit.
Super Whacky Muslim Fun Time - The Turks Take on Charles Darwin
Muslims...God's cruel joke on humanity.
Turkish schoolchildren in Istanbul received a series of books denouncing scientific figures, including one denying the theory of evolution and describing Charles Darwin as a big-nosed Jew, the Financial Times reported Friday.
According to the paper, the books were distributed last week to hundreds of students in the Maltepe district of Turkey's capital after the government-affiliated local education authority approved their content.
The book on Darwin reportedly states that the evolutionary biologist “Had two problems: First he was a Jew; second, he hated his prominent forehead, big nose and misshapen teeth.”
Darwin was not Jewish.
Amen!
Smart power!
The Times of Israel:
Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi participated in prayers over the weekend in which the preacher urged Allah to “destroy the Jews and their supporters.”In footage of the service from Matrouh governorate’s el-Tenaim Mosque screened on Egyptian state television on Friday, Morsi was shown in fervent prayer as cleric Futouh Abd Al-Nabi Mansour, the local head of religious endowment, declared, “Oh Allah, absolve us of our sins, strengthen us, and grant us victory over the infidels. Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, disperse them, rend them asunder. Oh Allah, demonstrate Your might and greatness upon them. Show us Your omnipotence, oh Lord.”According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Morsi could be seen mouthing “amen” to these sentiments.
Why we give these people the time of day is beyond comprehension.
Catchy
I saw this in the comment section of an article this morning. Very clever.
Copy, paste, share.
UNINSTALLING OBAMA.....……………. █████████████▒▒▒ 90% complete.
Enemies
Think about it.
Do you really want to vote for a man who has the support of three of the world's biggest thugs? You know something stinks in the hen house when people who are diametrically opposed to the general policies of the United States and who routinely disparage our country either through words or deeds are supporting the incumbent for president.
If we had someone with some testicular fortitude running things around here these screwball dictators would definitely be thinking twice about their illicit activities.
From Newsmax:
The world has witnessed, through the eyes of courageous videographers and journalists, how Bashar al-Assad mercilessly targets Syrian women, children and other civilians for annihilation. Assad’s Russian-made tanks and weapons have been seen obliterating entire neighborhoods and towns.
But we know little about the enablers who provide Assad the weapons, the ammunition and the fuel that facilitates the Syrian genocide. Recently, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pointed to the Russians as the source of some of these weapons. International intelligence has exposed the fundamentalist Iranian regime as a provider of arms and ammunition.
Now we have evidence that Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez has been sending millions of gallons of diesel fuel to his good friend al-Assad, whom he calls a “humanist” and a “brother.”
Venezuelan state-owned ships have been transporting hundreds of thousands of barrels of diesel fuel to the ruthlessSyrian Army. Assad’s killers move around the country assassinating civilians in vehicles fueled by Chavez.
At this very moment the Venezuelan oil carrier “Negra Hipolita” is being loaded in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela, with more than 9 million gallons of ultra-low sulphur diesel bound for Syria’s port of Banias. Soon this fuel will move the tanks and artillery that will pulverize innocent beings, adding to the 12,000 already cold-bloodedly exterminated by Assad “the Humanist.”
Chavez uses his own vessels because no self-respecting international shipping firm will transport fuel to Assad’s killing machine. There is another advantage, however: since he controls the entire voyage, from dock to dock. Chavez may be sending Assad military materiel hidden in the ships.

I think Halloween was a lot more scary back in the day
I stumbled upon these vintage Halloween photos. If I looked out in my yard and saw these creepy little devils I'd be running for the shotgun.
Looped
We've all heard the old tale about how an owl can turn his head all the way around.
Well, have you ever seen one do this?
Of course you haven't because you are not a world renowned bird photographer. This takes many seconds of patience and anticipatory skill to capture a wild animal in this frenetic state.
This owl lives inside the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans. Just after I shot this he swooped down and plucked a toddler from the arms of a screaming mother. He then dropped the child into the exhibit with a 30 foot anaconda. The snake rose up to engulf the child in a stranglehold, but the child in a Herculean feat ripped the head from the snake and grabbed the writihng snake body and began hosing down the horrified onlookers in a fog of snake blood while cursing at people in Latvian.
I would have to say it was the greatest day of my life. Too bad I didn't get any pictures of the action though. But my skills are in birds

I like the Showtime program Homeland. I think Claire Danes has an interesting nose and I am riveted by it. The drama ain't bad either.
And I'll have to say that I was not surprised by a recent article that proves to us the Lebanese along with every other Muslim and Arab culture have extremely thin skins when it comes to portrayals of them or their culture or their countries in popular culture. Boo-freaking-hoo. Beruit may have been Paris of the Middle East some years ago, but that was well before Lebanon became host to the violent parasite known as Hezbollah. Or as I like to call them. . . camel-humping shitheads.
Anyway, Lebanon has their turban panties in a twist, so the next logical thing to take place in a place that IS NOT overrun by terrorists is a car bombing near an anti-Damascus Christian group.
Yeah, Paris my doughnut hole.

Strip it Good
Jackson, Mississippi is known for a couple of things and those two things are uhhh....um.....
Well anyway, there is a strip club here that raised the hackles of local government when they erected a billboard declaring "Strippers love to climb our pole." Got hand it to them, it was pretty catchy. But then the city fathers (who are all a bunch of corrupt and stupid idiots who sound like a ghetto twitter feed when they talk) got some sort of injunction or something that forced Danny's to put a giant yellow "Censored" sign over the offensive tagline. Which, in retrospect, was even more brilliant because if the 30 foot blond on the stripper pole didn't get your attention, the 30 foot yellow "censored" sign would.
Fast forward a year and Danny's is back in the news. Since this website is dedicated to news about such things, this intrepid reported furiously investigated the incident by driving down to the billboard and taking a picture. I should get a Pulitzer.
Danny's is being sued by some black dancers who are alleging discrimination of some description and well, that's about it. Not that I'm an expert on these matters, but I always thought these girls worked as independent contractors and aren't actually employed by the club in which they dance.
I don't know, but I bet the arbitration meetings about this with the EEOC is probably going to make Jerry Springer look like Sesame Street.
Tiresome
Let's face it crackers, everything is racist! And by everything I mean EVERYTHING!
Dog whistles, cat whistles, squirrel whistles, possum whistles, whistlin' Dixie, and just regular ol' timey whistles.
Man, people are ignorant.
Dum H8rs
All I can say is thank you internet because you are forever.
Angry black people suggesting that other blacks kill themselves if they vote for Mitt Romney is nearly as entertaining to read about as the tweets suggesting that some of these angry blacks and other folks are going to make an attempt on the life of Mitt Romney.
Stacey Dash knows all about this kind of hate, don't you love?
Anyways.......what is almost as disturbing as the violent and hateful speech is the ignorant language in which it is written.
"Imma do dis, imma do dat, imma do dis tree more time, imma do dis phat."
What is this? Is this English? Do these people reside within the confines of the United States? Are they being educated in the schools that we pay for with our tax dollars? If so, then I would like a refund.
Let's imagine that I buy a box of English at Wal-Mart. I take the box home and pour out the words on the table and all I see is "imma", "dis", "crunk", "skrilla", then I would probably return my box of English to Wal-Mart as defective merchandise and ask for my money back.
Dear Federal, State and Local Government,
I would like a refund for your inability to teach proper English. With interest and penalties, please.
Sincerely,
Burnt Toast
For the first time in my adult life (to borrow a line from Michelle Obama) I feel sorry for the United States of America. We are the most prosperous collective of humans ever assembled and yet we can't even manage the simple task of teaching our national language.
Oh well. I guess imma jus' get crunk on sum fo'shizzle.
Oh, and Stacey? Call me, I'm free this weekend, and for the next 25 years or so if you're not busy.
Who won the First Lady debate?
We have some really dumb people living among us.

Idiocy 2.0
Normally when I run across something as dumb, as contrived, as fake, and as pompous as the website 90 Days, 90 Reasons, I would spend some time dissecting it into small bite-sized pieces that you could then wash down with a swig of cold, hard factwater.
But with something as stupefying as this website I'll leave it to a professional to do the yeoman's work of dis-assembly.
Enter Andrew Ferguson of The Weekly Standard:
Reading the posts from all these writers and artists over the last two months has reminded me of the chasm that separates the talent for creative work from the talent for making a whole lot of sense, rationality-wise. “I have noticed something in Mitt Romney’s name, which I think speaks to what he is about,” writes the movie director David Lynch (Los Angeles) in Reason 52. “If you just rearrange a few letters, Romney becomes R MONEY. I believe Mitt Romney wants to get his mitts on R Money.”
Whew, that's deep Director Lynch. I'm ready for my wide angle now.
The essays themselves show all the magic of political discourse in the Internet age—the freewheeling energy, the unconventional lines of argument, the damn-the-torpedoes prose—which is another way of saying that Eggers really needs to hire a copy editor. Some sentences you can read several times without success. “Millions of progressive Americans,” Eggers writes, “are now behaving as if, because Obama hasn’t addressed their particular pet issue, that the best way to express their dissatisfaction is to allow Mitt Romney to become president.”
“Corporations,” notes the writer John Sayles (Dutchess County, New York) in Reason 49, “have been anointed responsibility by the Supreme Court as both eligible of public subsidy and free of, and, like all large and unrestrained creatures, act only in their own self-interest.”
Well, if you say so! Put a couple more commas in there, it's, have be, aiight.
Just consider these 90 reasons as the first 90 votes cancelled out in the election via clear, unadulterated, and blinding ignorance. Lethal ignorance.
And speaking of lethal ignorance: Thank you sir, may I have another!
Obama Administration Spends $27 Million to Teach Moroccans How to Make Pottery
Anything to help Obama's Muslim brethren.
The federal government spent $27 million teaching Moroccans how to make pottery, a project that yielded less than stellar results, according to Sen. Tom Coburn’s recently released Waste Book 2012.
Coburn said a review by the Inspector General for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which oversaw the program, found that the project was “not on track to achieve its goals.”
“A key part of the project involved training Moroccans to create and design pottery to sell in domestic and international markets,” the 2012 “Waste Book” explains. “To accomplish this, an American pottery instructor was contracted to provide several weeks of training classes to local artists to improve their methods and teach them how to successfully make pottery that could be brought to market.
“Unfortunately, the translator hired for the sessions was not fluent in English and was unable to transmit large portions of the lectures to the participants,” it said.
Moreover, the instructor “frequently forgot to bring the right materials to class,” and the dyes and clays he did use were not sold in Morocco – “making it impossible for the trainees to replicate the methods they had learned.”
“Moroccans have been making pottery since at least the fifth century B.C., with the earliest urban pottery made after 800 A.D.,” Coburn noted. “Perhaps USAID could learn a thing or two about pottery making from Moroccans, who have been passing knowledge of the ancient craft from one generation to another for centuries.”
Obama has the toddler vote
