“Man, Woman. Like to touch each other.” Cheron Theron on her seven year relationship with her boyfriend. Kind of like … Me Tarzan, you Jane. If you ask me.
Me try. CupCake (wife) say no … The Monkey Never Learns.
The Battleship Missouri (Big Mo) the site of the 1945 Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay, needs some major renovation but it will not be going back to sea. The ship which is currently moored in Pearl Harbor as a museum and historic attraction since 1998 is to go into dry-dock sometime next year for sandblasting of her hull and other repairs. One of the items on the agenda, the removal and replacement of her “teak” decks. Cost of the work, still being planned is estimated at “$10 million to $30 million dollars.”
Here is a prime example of wasteful spending, and the thing that I find bothersome, “why can’t they at least tell us how much?” They just ballpark it and we are supposed to accept that figure.
Bad Taste Award: Grand Prairie, Texas.
The Grand Prairie AirHogs baseball team will award a funeral to a fan during it’s game June 3rd. The promotion has been dubbed “All Hogs Go To Heaven.” The funeral expenses, valued at $10 grand will cover a casket, headstone, services and a plot.
Texas is not the only state that has the market on stupidity covered.
Oklahoma has its fair share of enlightened citizens too. The U.S. Geological Survey says most polar bears could disappear in less than 50 years if Arctic sea ice, their main hunting ground (also used for procreation) continue to melt. Opponents like Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe argue that bear numbers have increased because of anti-hunting laws and that policy should not rest on “unproven computer models.”
First, the survey was not about an “increase in bear numbers, but rather a decrease” distinct difference for most people. (Pay attention Jim, there is going to be a test later, and you are going to be lost)
Second, it is a PROVEN CONCLUSION at this time that these artic ice sheets are shrinking (melting in Okie terms Mr. Inhofe) and this only adds to the problem. The bears emaciated because of shrinking food supplies and distances between ice floes increasing, are drowning. If not starving at the same time.
Taking all this one step further, allows me to present this in a fashion you might understand? Try swimming 20-40 miles to the next ice floe for lunch Mr. Inhofe and you might understand the Polar bears problem.
Our problem it seems to me is the “wrong species” of animal are disappearing around here; we definitely need more bears and far less slow-on-the uptake politicians.
Might as well cover all the bases while we are at it.
Colorado Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer quickly revised his campaign TV commercial after learning it showed a picture of Mt. McKinley in the background, which is not in Colorado, but in Alaska. He blamed a consultant for the mishap, which is typical of a politician, “blame it on someone else.”
It might be safe to conclude that when we vote that the success of our country will depend not on any set system, but on having honest, smart people running the system. They may be found somewhere in America, these so-called smart people, but here lately there seems to be a dearth shortage of them waiting in the halls.
But alas, don’t throw in the towel just yet. Hope is on the horizon! I read where a “19 year old kid” has been elected to the office of Mayor in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

Meanwhile … Time to come home Mr. Inhofe … The Village Called …. And you know the rest, dont’cha?
