to the Weekly Notes 2008 Archives Republicrumbs: They are crossing over
to vote for Hillary. They want to run against her. They do not want to run
against Obama. They have been in Hillary’s closet and are anxious to
expose all of her dirty laundry. What there was to expose
about Obama has already been flagged by Hillary. It did not hurt him.
Politicians hate it when a guy stands up and
addresses his mistakes. It takes away the handles that slimy people like Ken
Starr need. So far, the cross voting has not helped them. Hillary continues
to lose ground. Negligent Homicide: In Negotiation: In a local issue, the
nurses of Genesys Health System are negotiating for a new contract. They are
doing the same stupid thing that too many unions do. Instead of setting a
strike deadline, they continue to extend the old contract. They ought to know
that management will not negotiate in good faith as long as they are getting
what they want. The only way these nurses can possibly win is to set a strike
deadline and then do it. Power is the only thing these crummy bosses
understand! The Eastern Disasters: Perhaps God is finally
forgiving us for electing George Bush. She seems to be going after the
Eastern people now. Both Gone Bananas: Weirder and weirder is
our government. The Chiquita banana company operates in the Columbian
Republic where they have huge plantations. According to Sixty Minutes, they
have been making extortion payments to the murderous power structures there
to stay in business. Recently, they were afraid they would
be caught so they confessed to our government about the extortion
payments. They are being punished with huge fines.
Many other companies, including Dole have also made extortion payments, but
they were not silly enough to confess. They are not being
punished. Who is more bananas, Chiquita or
our government? And the dance of idiots continues. Immigrants: Very often, these people
come to Economists: These latest economic
problems and the lack of consumer confidence reveal how stupid the government
economists are. According to their index, Morons: We sometimes call people
like these economists and other government people morons. Perhaps we should
call them lessons or even lesions. Food Allergies: What are we doing wrong?
We have over three million children with known food allergies. I don’t recall anything like this when I was a kid. I don’t recall anything like this until recently. I
believe we need to investigate this to find out what we are doing wrong. Mrs.
Gaffer, who always has an opinion says, “We overprotect our kids from
birth on.” I tend to agree with that opinion. The kids become
vulnerable because we never allow them to be exposed. Everything must be
sterile. We regularly wash and wipe the germs away with a persistence that
defies logic. I think we have made cleanliness too convenient and we have
made it a fetish. When I was a kid,
getting hot water was a project in summertime. If I wanted to bathe, I had to
build afire in a little potbellied stove then wait an hour. In the meantime,
I had to hope that none of my siblings realized I had made the water hot.
Yes, they would highjack it and get to the bath before me. In winter, the
furnace sometimes made hot water for us, but not always. The upshot was, we
only bathed on Saturday and it was a big project. In between times, we
sometimes washed our hands and face. Outside, we could wipe our hands on our
trousers or on the grass. I suppose my skin was crawling with germs. Except
for an occasional cold, I never got sick, nor did most of my friends. Internet: Fool politicians and
media dupas are always complaining that we need more laws to control the
internet. That is crap? We have the necessary laws
on the books. Defamation of character is a felony. It is a crime. What we
need are some prosecutors with the guts to begin enforcing the law. That is
where the weakness is. Instead of lawmen, we have
cowardly ignorant politicians posing as lawmen. The Bottom Line: This is about the sadism
of the Fox sportscasters. When a pitcher or any other athlete is pulled because he is having a bad day, these sadists
focus on him and keep the camera on him throughout the rest of the event.
They babble and babble about him while keeping your attention on him and
showing him in his disappointment and pain. It is clear that they enjoy
another person’s pain. Back
