Not long ago, being curious I ventured over to that Ancestory.Com to look up my family tree. I discovered that my ancestors did swing from trees, no they were not monkeys or anything like that, horse thieves in Kentucky around the turn of the century. The internet is an interesting place, especially if you are a person with no recognizable life. Believe it or not, folks are keeping tabs on you, you are being scrutinized.
With the population of the world increasing some 70 million persons per year, is it possible to run out of screen names? Just thinking outside the box. Frequently I have this nightmare, and it is that I have died, I am standing at the Gates of Heaven and the Angel looks at me and says …… “User Name and Password.” Man, screwed again!
Why is it that the people that live in the warmest climates, have the most poverty and less of life. You would think that if you lived somewhere where you are not required to deal with extreme heat and cold, tornados and the like, that life would be much better. But it surely doesn’t apply in warm climate countries, say Africa, for example.
People are funny animals, this week in New York officials closed down betting on the number 871 on the lottery. 871 is the room number in the Washington DC Mayflower Hotel wherein former Governor Eliot Spitzer met with his paid-for girlfriend. They shut down the number because too many people were playing it. Which is I suppose, another good reason to NOT play the lottery. What happened to the old adage, “You buy your ticket and you take your chances?”
A bad week for “Smart Bombs.” An Air National Guard pilot who was supposed to drop a dummy bomb in a practice field in Kansas accidentally dropped it onto an apartment complex in Tulsa this week, which damaged the building and knocked out everyone’s power. How would you like a trip to Colonel Potter’s Office to try and explain that one?
Barrack ol’ what’s-his-name announced this week, “My supporters believe in a message of hope.”
Which is somewhat true …. I hope this all ends …. Soon, because I am personally sick of it. Isn’t it strange, when according to polls the #1 concern of American’s is the economy, but yet, none of the candidates will actually address that issue? I don’t hear a lot of rhetoric about “reducing the spending” do you? We spent over $1.8 trillion MORE than we took in … How would you like to pick up the overdraft fee’s on that (which you will, in the future, trust me).
Most of the foreign Jihadists who are blowing themselves up in suicide attacks in Iraq are turning out to be single men, late teens or early 20’s, who come from large low-income families. From which they are struggling to be noticed and apparently willing to die for the attention.
Remember the good old days, when the kid put all the clothes on a stick, made a peanut butter sandwich and announced to no one in particular …… “I am going to live the life of a Hobo.” Then he walked down to the corner, sit there about five minutes, came back home and said …. “Well, I see you still have the same cat.” As if he had been gone for decades.
Here is something else, and then I am out of here, time for my medication. This week I read an article that was rather informative. It said …. If you spank your kids, regularly, they will grow up into adults who are aroused by sadomasochistic sex according to the experts.
At first I was somewhat concerned, but then it occurred to me, that there is always a rainbow. You really don’t have to worry, you will eventually grow out of it.
I mean, “it’s been so long for me and the Miss’es, I have literally forgot who it is that gets tied up.”
Have a good week.
