Weekly Notes:

May14, 2007:

 

Tree Frog:

We have one of these little guys living on our deck in a flower box. We came home from a visit one day and discovered what I thought was an ordinary frog sitting on top of a tall planter. I saw no way he could have jumped that high and I wondered how he got there. I suspected some kind of prank. Mrs. Gaffer went to look at him and noticed he was clinging to the inside of the planter. Then it hit me, this guy was a tree frog of the type I used to call a tree toad. They can climb. Mrs. Gaffer looked it up and, sure enough, there really is such a critter. It’s the first one I have ever seen here. Very educational. I hope he likes mesquites as much as I hate them. He will be welcome.

 

Psychiatry:

The practice of psychiatry is supposed to be concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental and emotional disorders. Instead, it has become a complete fraud. All these people do now is prescribe pills, mostly antidepressants and mostly for kids. What this does, is mask the symptoms of the problem without dealing with the problem. I see no honest attempts by most of these people to heal emotional disorders.

 

Booze:

Recently a star pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals got drunk and killed himself in a auto crash. They said his blood booze level was 0.157 at the time and he was headed for another bar. Where did he get all of that booze? It seems he got it in the Cardinal’s clubhouse. The Cardinal management announced that booze will no longer be served in the clubhouse. I have some question. Why in Hades was booze ever served to athletes at all? How does it come about that people who depend on their coordination and fast responses to earn their living are offered booze by their managers and owners? This would be equivalent to GM serving booze to their workers on the assembly line.

 

In addition to that, this so-called star had marijuana in his vehicle. Earlier this year the team’s manager La Russa was arrested for drunk driving. We have drugs, we have booze, we have irresponsible behavior by athletes in every sport. These people are just a bunch of pampered bums. Remember when baseball was called family entertainment? Who in his right mind would want to take his kids to see buffoons like that? Not me! Around Michigan, we have alternatives. We have what are called minor league teams with players who really want to play baseball. They are not paid much, but they really want to play and they come to play. If you are ever around here, go see the Lansing Lugnuts in Lansing or the Great Lakes Loons at Midland. It really is family entertainment.

 

 Global Warming:

The evidence is overwhelming, but there are still people who are denying the obvious. I compare these fools to ostriches. They stick their head in the sand and pretend nothing is happening because they cannot see it. The human ability to rationalize nonsense is remarkable.

 

Crooks:

A local man and his wife were caught destroying an empty home. They cut through walls and tore out plumbing and electrical wire. Why? Just to get the copper so they could sell it for profit. They will go to jail. What about the person they sold it to? He was a dealer in scrap. Tell me he did not know what he was buying and I will say Bull! He is a fence and he should go to prison for life. If I were God Emperor he would.

 

The Michigan Lottery:

I am fed up with their continuous lying to the public. They say the profit from the lottery goes to public education. They say it over and over again in all of their advertising. It is a lie! The truth is, adjusted for inflation public education is getting less money per kid now than it did before we had a lottery. Check it out!

 

Republicrumbs:

Did you watch the Republicrumb presidential debate? I did not, but it did not matter. The media shoved it in my face the next day and several days thereafter. When I saw the line up, I had a vision, caused by the way they dressed, of a mortician’s convention. All they needed was black ties to complete the picture. Welcome to Inter Sanctum!

 

Attorneys:

I saw an advertisement on TV the other day that stunned me for its dishonesty. This is a gang of personal injury attorneys. They had the unmitigated gall to compare themselves to John Adams, our second president and one of the founders of this republic. Adams was a great man. A personal injury attorney would not make a pimple on his dead butt. Obscene!

 

God:

If I believed in this guy I would be scared crapless. There are fires in the West. There are floods in the South. There are floods and fires in Florida. There are tornadoes and floods in the Midwest. Everywhere we look there are disasters happening, about to happen, or just ending. Thank God I live in Michigan where the God-Fearing people don’t cause this sort of thing with irreligious behavior. Duh!

 

Irish and Catholics:

They seem to be forming a joint government. Wouldn’t that be great if they were successful? Wouldn’t it be great if they could give up revenge? Wouldn’t it be great if the mothers would stop training their sons to be murders? I can hope for that.

 

Cheaters:

I hate cheaters. I have always hated cheaters. When I become God Emperor, I will be enormously mean and vindictive toward people who I consider to be cheaters. Cheating is the single biggest thing that destroys civilizations. It is currently destroying America. We have cheaters cheating from the top down. Everyone really is doing it. If it doesn’t stop, we are doomed.

 

Here is the thing; people who cheat know they are cheating. The fact that they lay out rationalizations about their cheating, and they always do, is a dead giveaway.

 

A Puzzle:

Who was John Caldwell Calhoun? Was he famous or notorious? Why? As always, report to your mother, your spouse, or your children. Don’t report to me.
