Pack your bags, the Butter Stick, your favorite neo-conservative news corporation, is visiting formerly Communist Bloc Romania in Eastern Europe, the lesser and more deprived of the two Europes.
Walter Craig, Editor-In-Chief of the Butter Stick, is taking a two week tour of Romania as part of a multi-national reporting campaign of the country’s history, culture, and on-goings since the breakup of the Soviet Union and the toppling of Communism by peasant nationals.
“I presume Christmas is going to suck this year,” commented Craig, when asked by fellow mates in the United States about his thoughts on the trip. “I’m only going to take eight dollars with me – that’ll probably be enough to buy a car, airfare, sufficient food, fourteen acres, and a gypsy slave.”
Craig will not on
ly write special reports on trips around cities such as Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, and Brasov, but also to visits at Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania and the People’s Parliament in the nation’s capital. The Parliament building is in fact supposed to be the second largest in the world (behind the Pentagon).
More to come from Walter Craig and the Butter Stick this week in Romania.

Sung Moon, a Buddhist monk from Tibet, China spent his entire childhood and adulthood doing one thing: reciting numbers. Since first learning how to speak and count numbers, it has been the only thing this holy man has done for the past 78 years of his life.
At four A.M., Saturday morning, the numerical whispers rhythmically exerted from Moon’s pacifying lips ceased as the monk finished counting to infinity. No man had ever recited all existing numbers of the universe since the idea of infinity was theorized by ancient Greek mathematicians. In fact, it was deemed impossible to recite all numbers for “there is no end, they just keep reinventing themselves.”
That was at least what Chicago University professor of calculus Robert J. Ehrenreich claimed among other leading modern day theorists in the mathematics department.
“Because once you reach the end of a certain place value, ending with a nine, you can always create a new place value by adding a one, thus continuing an endless cycle,” stated professor Ehrenreich upon hearing of Moon’s feat. “If we know where he left off, I could simply feedback a larger counting number.”
Others such as Edmond Naiant of the American Collegiate Studies Institute based in Utica, New York question, “if numbers are infinite and have no start or end point, what number, may I ask, did Mr. Sung Moon begin and end with?”
The answer to that question is not as simple as it seems however. As a child, Moon realized the complexity of a universal number system and debunked it by beginning with the number forty-two. He then counted backwards and forwards respectively with each beat so as to successfully recited both positive and negative numbers. These numbers, were in turn counting numbers and integers – no fractions, decimals, or imaginary numbers were spoken. Mr. Moon also did not order numbers by positive or negative order, but rather “skipped around” in an otherwise unexplainable pattern.
Moon had reportedly spent nearly 20 hours of each day “counting” and the sleeping. It is said he could even imagine numbers in sleep and whisper them aloud at night. No computer, pen, or paper was used to record and remember place values or digits. All work was completed mentally and carried out through physical beats. Moon would often tap his fingers or feet and bob his head in rhythm of counting to infinity.
So what number did he end with? It is so large, it is taking Moon four days to recite all digits to reporters and has not been completely written down yet. There are literally at least 178 pages of digits last reported.

Universal healthcare. Socialized medicine. Dennis Kucinich for President. Multiple synonyms for one thing – communism in the United States.
Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat, is the only candidate in either party with a plan for universal, single-payer, not-for-profit healthcare. But let’s take a look at his credibility – he was also the only Democratic candidate that voted AGAINST both funding and the War in Iraq. If we weren’t dying in a war, we’d be getting killed by terrorists on home turf. Kucinich even had the nerve to NOT deny Americans their privacy by voting AGAINST the Patriot Act, the next thing after Iraq that keeps us safe from terrorists.
What is wrong with the healthcare of America today? Nothing! It’s perfectly fine. In fact, it’s ranked the “number one best healthcare system ever in the world” by leading professionals such as Bill ÒReilly, Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter, and Fred Thompson. Ron Paul even called it a “miracle” among first world nations on his first Fox News appearance. The World Health Organization (WHO) lies when they rank the US as “37th in the world for the performance of its healthcare system.” This is because the WHO is run by illegal immigrants and Communists.
Biggest argument against for-profit healthcare: “The poor are uninsured and can’t afford their own health.” And whose fault is that? Is it the personal responsibility of hard-working Americans like Bill ÒReilly to watch out for the 84% of the population below him? If anything, the poor are below and should treat those above with respect like the good, caring, Christians they should all be. A poor man is just another person in life who decided early on “I’m lazy and I want others to do stuff for me while I waste away their tax dollars.” The only real poor folk are the Bill Gates and Bill ÒReillys who are constantly robbed by the federal government of wealth.
If one third of Americans are uninsured, I’d joyfully help them. I’ll tell them to get a job like the rest of us. Look at Canada and the UK, where everyone receives plenty of free healthcare via endless doctor visits, costless treatment, and free pharmaceuticals for every pain in their bone-aching liberal bodies. What do they have to show for it? America is three times as great as both countries put together by population, eight times by weight, nine times by military power, and forty-nine times by overall greatness.
The poor don’t even want healthcare. They’d rather have to pay for it, and earn that money squarely with high class jobs such as those in the coal mine or at McDonald’s. If doctors didn’t operate on a for-profit basis, what’s the incentive that would keep them operating on customers profiled by wealth? Let’s face it, a homeless guy with a gunshot wound is just a pity on society and doesn’t deserve the same healthcare as an upper-middle class male who was mugged and rolled an ankle. In fact, money should determine what kind of healthcare you can get to the fullest extent.
If you can’t afford it, don’t get sick. It’s easy – I haven’t gotten sick in over a year, and when I do, I just sleep it off. My kids like to stay home from school at least once a week. And who can blame them when they have to go to a public school and risk getting infected by all the lower class kids under them who might have the German measles or AIDS?
Get Kucinich off the polls quickly before he ruins our great USA with his first-aid kit and stethoscope. Brainwashed Americans buying into socialism may say he’s out to help the poor, but he’s really only out to beat up on the rich. The rich may be a minority, but by God, they can sure vote-buy themselves into the majority when it comes to politics. And we wouldn’t want to displease the majority now would we?
Life is a privilege in America, not a right. Let’s keep it that way.

He’s a Mormon, and I’m a Catholic, but we’re both the common Christian conservative fighting for a moral high ground and the establishment of good, clean, family values in the homes of every American. Mitt Romney’s defense of a religious America at the last Republican debate was nothing less of heroically outstanding.
The GOP rectified most of America’s Democrat-induced skeptical viewpoints at the CNN/YouTube Republican Debates on November 30, but one candidate stood out among the rest, especially above Huckabee, a Christian minister and former Republican governor of Illinois. That candidate was the religiously right Mitt Romney, a patriot of a Christian America.
“”I am an American running for President. I define my candidacy by my religion. A person should not be elected if he does not embrace the word of God, nor should he be allowed to speak against God’s word. I speak for God’s word on this stage,” claimed a cool and vibrant Romney a week ago.
Romney is a capable, young, aggressive candidate who does not let down to liberal ideas. He, among other Christian candidates, is a true believer and defender of the Christian faith in this nation. When asked by a YouTuber if he believes every single word of the Holy Bible, Romney replied, “Yes. I am not ashamed of what my fathers have taught me and will not be ashamed of what knowledge I can pass on to the people of this democratic nation through the book.”
The GOP Presidential hopeful is also good friends with senator Jim Inhofe, who also admittedly refers to the Scriptures (mainly Acts 9:15 and Acts 2:42) on each political issue.
When asked individually on how he would reverse the decay of American families, Romney took the words of Inhofe and declared, “what kind of behavior do you expect in the family when a secular government is taking over the upbringing of our kids so that parents don’t have to take responsibility?”
This man will shape our future. Correct our wrongs, or at least the ones religious terrorists have instilled in our minds since 9/11. He will rule by the Bible, as did Jesus over Jerusalem. He will ask himself, “what would Jesus do?” and respond through the executive power. He will save our unborn children from Dr. Kavorkian. He will protect our borders from terrorists and immigrants who only wish to law waste to a heavenly land. He will lead us to victory against Islamists, who hope for the destruction of Christianity and everything the United States stands for. He will protect us against the anti-Christ, which lurks in every bar, on every corner street of every ghetto, in Iran, in schools that support the rock and roll movement, and even in our very own homes on the tube.

In an act of independency from the rest of the United Kingdom, the Irish Parliament (Oireachtas) recently passed a novel federal bill which lowered the nation’s drinking age to “this many.” The bill was passed 54 to 6 on November 30 by the Seanad Oireachtas (senators of national parliament).
The bill, titled the “Drink If You Can Count Act” is a loosely worded document which endows any person with the ability to hold up any given number of fingers the right to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages in public, such as in a pub, or in their own private homes. By regulation, a barkeep must inquire his customer’s age. Provided the customer can answer through speech or hand gestures, and has the money for an Irish drink, the barkeep may safely answer to his customer’s needs. Article three specifically reads, “[any] one person above the age of ‘this many’ may consume alcohol unrestricted by state [or federal] law . . . “
“Brilliant,” said statesman Rory Flanigan after reading the four page bill last week. “We, the sons of Ireland, must protect our heritage and keep our world-renowned culture. And since booze makes up most of what we are as people, how can we deny our people the very thing that makes them up?”
Majority and opposition parties across the isle came together this week in a symbolic gesture for all of Ireland. The “Drink If You Can Count Act” was one of the highest acclaimed bills within the nation’s politics since first proposed by Fergus Moloney a week prior to voting. It was the fasted enacted bill since the 1954 law that required all vertically challenged persons wear green and sing limericks at least once a week.
“The preservation of our culture is an exciting thing, and was the basis for our vote,” claims Dermot O’Brien, a Progressive Democratic Party senator and former member of the IRA. “The young people of our nation must experience the joy and happiness our mums and dads did when they were youngsters. That way, they can grow up to be jolly good drunkards like ourselves and live up to the Irish stereotypes.”
Youngsters across the nation are already celebrating their legal ability to drink, most of which are already suffering from mild to severe cirrhosis of the liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and liver fibrosis. Adults, such as popular radio newscaster Patrick O‘Doyle, have asked for a federal holiday or national festival with the passing of the drinking age bill.
Religious Anglicans and English patriots have sworn strongly against the bill and will most likely be ignored by the majority of the isle. Anglican ministers claim that with the legalization of wine for minors, boys and girls will no longer attend Sunday mass as they usually did in thirst of communion.
