Happy Friday the 13th, Everybody!
And our Garrulous Grammarian says the first thing we need to do is to explain the difference between “Triskaidekaphobia” and “Paraskevidekatriaphobia”
Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number thirteen. It comes from “treiskaideka,” the Greek word for thirteen plus “phobia,” which means “fear of,” so Triskaidekaphobia would be “a fear of thirteen.”
Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the Fear of Friday the 13th. The word “paraskevidekatriaphobia” was devised by Dr. Donald Dossey, who told his psychiatric patients that “when you learn to pronounce it, you’re cured!”
- Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose this French Proverb: “A person is unlucky who falls on his back and breaks his nose.”
Now Let’s Meet Today’s Guest Editor:
Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane thought maybe just for today, following the recent example of the Obama administration, The Blower could post-pone our regular bi-weekly Guest Editor E-dition and turn the entire contents of our main news section over to Russian President “Bad Vlad” Putin, who has graciously chosen these three fair-and-balanced items in Pravda (the Russian word for “Truth”) plus a Quickie for today’s Conservative Column:
Putin Overshadows Blood-hungry, “Exceptional” Obama
The U.S. Senate intends to propose that President Barack Obama postpone the strike against Syria for 45 days to have an opportunity to realize Moscow’s initiative on the transfer of Syrian chemical weapons under international supervision, the Kommersant newspaper said. Obama said yesterday in a televised address to the nation that he was going to wait for the results of diplomatic efforts before bombing the war-torn country.
White House speechwriters, the newspaper wrote, had to rewrite the speech of the American president just a few hours before the broadcast. According to sources, it was originally planned that Obama would explain to the American citizens, why the USA’s military intervention in Syria’s internal affairs was necessary. However, the president promised that Washington would look into the Russian initiative and continue consultations with Moscow on the subject. Barack Obama also said that he had asked the Congress to postpone the vote on the Syrian resolution.
After nearly two days of consultations, the Senate decided to ask the president to postpone the military operation for not more than 45 days. At the same time, the Congress is to vote for the resolution, which gives the president the right to use military force against Syria without any consultations with lawmakers. If during this period there is no progress reached on the part of Damascus, Obama will be able to order the launch of air strikes against Syria.
Putin’s Wall Obama’s Fall
Even though the US thinks they are in charge of humanity the reality is they are not. In their imaginary world the toothless media supports their spit ball shooting president. They actually think their words are supreme and final. Kerry and McCain keep dancing in a parade trying to influence a congress which is neither conservative nor moral but nevertheless war weary. The once drug addict now US leader cannot fight against Vladimir Putin who brought Russia from poverty in the 90’s to a more stable economy today. Obama’s buffoonery selling the war against Syria has hit a wall thanks to President Putin’s firm stance and leadership.
Too Many Years of Lies
Washington has been at war for 12 years. According to experts such as Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes, these wars have cost Americans approximately $6 trillion, enough to keep Social Security and Medicare sound for years. All there is to show for 12 years of war is fat bank balances for the armament industries and a list of destroyed countries with millions of dead and dislocated people who never lifted a hand against the United States.
AND A QUICKIE

President Obama was asked how much is two plus two.
Silence…
He knew, but was waiting for confirmation from Moscow.

More Conservative Political Cartoons
Muslims in Our Midst
This week, everybody who wonders if Murdering Muslim Terrorists had run out of American Embassies to bomb to commemorate last year’s terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi so they blew up the Libyan Foreign Ministry instead, e-mailed an entry to the Whistleblower Limerick Contest.
The winner is Muslim Sympathizer Awan Afuqya, who says he can’t explain why only 21 Mindless Muslims showed up at that big Million Muslim March in Washington on September 11, that was linked to Islamic Radicals on the 12th anniversary of the attack on America that claimed 2,996 lives.
Awan wins a set of a transcript of every speech Obama ever made, a subscription to John Kerry’s Gaffe of the Day, and from Russian President Vladimir Putin, a Peace-Loving New T-99 Main Battle Tank for his very own that was just unveiled exclusively to Russian leadership at the Arms Expo exhibition at Nizhny Tagil in September. His winning entry is:
What happened on 9/11 this year?
It turns out America had little to fear.
The challenge was hard,
But the U.S. was on guard.
And our targets they couldn’t get near.
And from the Anderson Laureate (who believes Islamophobia should be raised to an art form):
What happened on 9/11 this year,
To strike terror in those hearts you hold dear?
They called off their attack
At the Radio Shack,
So instead they beheaded a queer.
The first line of next week’s limerick is:
“It’s Time Once Again For Oktoberfest?”
