to the Weekly Notes 2008 Archives February11, 2008 Ambulances: They should be outfitted
with pepper spray guns in a top turret. When, that crazy woman, Brittany
Spears had some kind of emotional or physical problem last week. She got a
ride to a hospital in an ambulance. The Paparazzi where all over the place
like wallowing swine spewing out of hell. Of course, the so-called media were
there too, doing the same thing. They actually interfered with the progress
of the ambulance. Pepper spray would have cleared the way. I’m for it! GI Bill: After WWII and probably
all wars following there was an instrument created by congress called the GI
Bill. Among the good things this bill did was provide a way for returning
vets to purchase homes at low interest rates. The government simply
guaranteed the loans. It was a win for everyone. It cost the government
nothing. There were few defaults, because the people really wanted the homes
and worked hard to pay for them. For the banks, it was a deal made in heaven.
They had no risk and got a return on their investment. For the GIs it meant
an affordable home to raise a family. Why do we need a war and
GIs? Why can’t the government guarantee loans for all working citizens?
We could quickly do away with predators in the mortgage industry with a
program like that. They would have to prey somewhere else. Microsoft: They are planning a 4.6
billion dollar takeover of Yahoo. They say it is to compete with Google. I
think the real goal is to take over the world. If they get Yahoo, it will be
another step along the road to world dominance for Microsoft. It will be a
tragedy for the public. Big Bucks: The media tells us that
it cost the super bowl sponsors three and a half million bucks for a 30
second spot. Be that true, Ford has spent about a hundred million bucks to
advertise their products. If they were to give me half of that, I could
design and deliver a car that would sell itself, just like the Mustang did. Half Time: The fools say some
people watch the game just for the ads. Huh? Be that true, those fools need
to get a life quickly. They may be the same people who call themselves
Trekies. Mrs. Gaffer took a bath at half time and I read part of a book. The
game however, was exciting for a change. I also used it as an excuse to eat
peanuts and drink beer. Revenue Cops again: Previously, I wrote an
essay on Revenue Cops. It is in the Gaffer’s Variety Archive. In that I
reported on dirty little mean spirited cop in McCain: It looks like he is the
Republicrumb favorite. I fear him. He is a foaming-at-the-mouth hawk. I
consider him to be more dangers than Bush. If he is elected, we will have
four more years of shoot-from-the-hip foreign policy. I was hoping I could
keep my pledge and cast my vote for Whoopie Goldberg. That was based on the
promise that Giuliani would be the Republicrumb choice. Unfortunately,
Giuliani made a major tactical blunder and left it open for McCain. Now I
must vote against McCain regardless of who his opponent is. I can only hope
it will be Obama. At least there is a chance that he could be reasonably
honest. We just don’t know. The I have had a lot of
criticism for this outfit and I don’t regret or take back one word of
it. However, I do need to make clear that not all of the people who wear the
USPS uniform are villains. In our local post office, there is one person who
goes out of her way to behave as a decent human being. She is very helpful. I
know who she is, but I will not reveal her identity. If I did, there is a
good chance she would be fired for not letting procedure and rules interfere
with her common sense. Snow Day: The kids love it because
they hate school. No one in government is asking why the kids hate school. I
know the answer to that. The kids hate school because the teachers are too
dumb or too lazy to make it relevant to the kids’ lives and the system
is geared to punish teacher excellence and reward indolence. Everything is
our entire government is designed that way. Everywhere you look, you see
indolence being rewarded and effort being punished. We had a recent example
in Hurricane: In the recent hurricane
in Robin Roberts: She was modeling
women’s fashions on TV with her beautiful baldhead right out there in
public. What a great and courageous thing to see. If all of the women who are
bald or partly bald came out of the closet, I suspect we would find there are
just as many women with hair loss as there are men. I am bald and I deeply
resent the fools who are tying to make me believe that is not okay. Being
bald is okay and natural for men and women. If we all came out of the closet
everyone would quickly get used to it and no bald person would feel compelled
to wear a disguise again. I do have sideburns, but I know what they are. They
are decorations, nothing more. Sideburns, a beard, tie, scarf, or even hair
are just part of our disguise. They have nothing to do with the person
underneath. Robert Jarvik: The drug company paid
him one and one third million for violating his oath and betraying his
profession. That is a nice pile of dirty money. Back
