Weekly Notes:

January 21, 2008

Email:

What is it about email that makes people treat it as unimportant? I don’t get it. If I phone a person, they will respond to my greetings and questions with courtesy and dispatch. If I send them a letter by US post, they will usually take it seriously. Why then, will the very same people simply ignore an email query as though it were not important? Is it because they think email itself is trivial and casual? I cannot understand it. I would not send an email if I thought it was not worth the bother of sending it. I do sometimes send emails that do not require an answer and I don’t expect one. These are in the form of information that I have discovered or a piece of humor I want to pass along. However, when I send an email with a direct query, Am I being unreasonable to expect a prompt response.

Bush:

I just wish he would stay home. He was strutting around Arabia with a sword over his shoulder. He looked like a cartoon character. Now he is going to sell 20 billion dollars worth of weapons to the Saudis. He just doesn’t get it. I am sure those weapons will be used against us. Even if the Saudis don’t turn on us immediately, some of those weapons will find their way to terrorists.

The Michigan Primary:

It is silly and it is rigged. It is deliberately and blatantly rigged to support the two party set up with it’s pre-selected candidates. It’s not a primary at all. Of course, none of them are. There are no real choices. I cannot vote for Whoopi Goldberg in the primary. Nether can you, no matter where you are. You can only vote for one of the loudmouthed pre-selected bull crap artists. Which evil do you pick? I does not matter. The part machine has already picked. You have a choice between crap and pooh-pooh.

One good thing happened on primary election day in Michigan. We had a very nice snowstorm and most of the state got a nice blanket. Flint and Detroit got a good bit. This insured that most of the people, who should not be voting anyway, did not get out and vote. They don’t know enough to vote and they don’t care enough. They don’t need much excuse to stay home, thank Gord.

Still in Michigan, Clinton was running against nobody and she got 55 percent of the vote. Most of the rest voted uncommitted. Clinton’s people claim that’s a victory for her. Say what? I would call that an embarrassment. So what? If the Dumbocratic party can take votes away from Michigan, or any other state, because they don’t like the way their primary was run, what does it matter. It is obvious that the wheeler-dealers of the Dumbocrats have already decided on a candidate, and that’s that! Is anyone reminded here of the elections in old Nazi Germany? What do the voter’s have to do with it?

One election official said the voters just don’t understand the process. Ho, ho! The voters understand alright. They understand they are being setup, and screwed.

Breakthrough:

The media showed us a short blurb about some scientists who were able to grow a beating heart from some cells taken from a baby rat. This was a heart that had grown in a laboratory and was actually beating on it’s own. This is tremendous news, but the media only gave it a couple of minutes. There was no more time for the heart because of the importance of the election don’t you know? It don’t get much stupider than that. Duh!

A New One:

The blowhard panel members on ABC’s “This Week” have invented a new phrase, “Downscale Democrats.” Huh? This implies there exists a group of upscale Democrats somewhere. Where are they? I have never seen one. Are they in the closet, perhaps?

BBB:

The Better Business Bureau is not. Recently I though I could contact a local chapter of the BBB and do some good. It turns out there is no local chapter. The State of Michigan has only 4 regional BBB’s. The nearest one to me is in Detroit. That’s 30 plus miles away and they know nothing about business in the towns around me. Whatever value they had when they had local chapters in every community is gone. It’s just a bureaucracy run amok. It’s no wonder people like Craig Gulledge can operate. See “Had Again” in the 2008 Forum. The police don’t care and the BBB no longer exists.

On The Rocks:

Our economy is on the rocks. The market is in free fall. All the political hacks and the chairman of the Fed are talking about a quick fix. That might help, but what we really need is economic growth hormones. The government does not have those. They can only come from honest research into new industries. No one is doing that unless they are doing it in the closet.

Check in the Mail:

The media tells us we are going to get a tax rebate. Its purpose is to stimulate the economy. The checks should be in the mail by late spring. Where have I heard that before. I’ll believe it when I cash the check and it doesn’t bounce.

A Research Puzzle:

Who was Ambrose Bierce? What did he do? What happened to him? Don’t send it to me. It’s for your own edification.
