April 18, 2005:
A Royal Carnival:
The prince of Dumbo-land married Camilla. We can see why he fell
in love with her. She looks much like his mother, kind of dumpy
and frumpy. About these royal folks, I must confess I get confused
about who is who. Recently I called Charles, Phillip. I'm not
sure it really matters when you are talking about royalty. It's
kind of like talking about clowns. They all act pretty much the
same.
Road to Peace:
Our president met with The Jewish prime minister in Texas. George
continues to babble about the road to peace. I suppose he thinks
it makes good political capital. Our government has been doing
this nonsense for decades. When are we going to get clear that
there is no road to peace? It is nonsense. There will never be
peace in that area unless outside powers enforce it. There are
just too many people, including Sharon, who have a vested political
interest in continuing the war. If they really wanted peace,
they would have managed it years ago without our help.
A New Pope:
There is a lot of politicking going on in Rome. We can bet deals
are being cut. So what? It is, after all, just politics. Before
this goes too far, I would like to offer my nomination. I suggest
Whoopie Goldberg for Pope. It's abut time someone poked those
pompous stuffed shirt Cardinals in the ribs a few times. Whoopie
is just the person to do it. She could bring a little bit of
healthy humor to that dusty place. Humor is the true healing
salve of the human psyche and those bozos really need to be healed
and brought into the 21st century.
Law:
The guy who presided over the pedofile priest scandal in Boston
had to resign, right? No matter, he got a better job as a big
shot in Rome. Then he actually had the unmitigated gall to do
a Mass for the deceased Pope, right in front of God and everyone
else. Bizarre!
Big Brother:
One state government want to fill out your tax form for you.
They say it is too difficult and takes too long for the tax payer
to do it. That may be true and it is a very good reason for not
trusting big brother. Let us remember, the government is not
there to help us, it is there to help the big campaign contributors.
My advice, if you cannot manage your tax forms, pay an accountant.
Don't, under any circumstances, trust big brother.
The Amish Again:
An Amish community in Gladwin County, Michigan made news. This
man of peace and humility had a loaded gun in his house. His
kids found it. A 3 year old kid got shot in the eye. There was
no telephone in this humble home so emergency help was delayed
for quite a while. The kid will probably live. We don't know
about the eye. It seems these people are not too bright. Inbreeding
will do that.
Lexis Nexis:
This is another one of those companies who trade in personal
information. Guess what? Sure! Through some kind of security
breach they managed to give away a bunch of personal information.
They don't even know who has the information. Great! Some Washington
political type said we need to have a law forbidding people to
sell social security numbers. What dishonest nonsense. We already
have a law forbidding that. It's called the fourth amendment.
All we need do is enforce it.
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly
describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things
to be seized.
Those companies who collect and trade in personal information
are in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States.
Does anyone care? It is clear that no one in government cares.
After all, they have their own reasons for looking the other
way concerning violations of the law. The current and previous
administrations have ignored constitutional law continuously.
Plastic Boobs:
We have a big argument amongst the FDA fools. Should we make
silicon jugs legal again? Why not? Let fools be fools. Here is
the truth. Jug size is irrelevant to thoughtful men. For the
women who want big jugs so as to impress the kind of men who
are impressed by that, go for it. Woman and men of that intellectual
capacity probably deserve each other.
Shooting Cats:
Wisconsin has a surfeit of cats. Some of the folks there want
to shoot them. Why not? We could grind them up and make cat-burgers.
Then we could deep fry them in Crispy Cream donuts and sell them
in the south. Apparently some folks will eat anything that has
Crispy Cream wrapped around it.
Only in Michigan?
In Mount Morris Township, Michigan, a teacher was forced to resign
by the administration. He was effectively fired. The kids are
protesting the highhanded bureaucratic bungling. They say the
teacher was the best one in the school and should not have been
pushed out. The administration responded by kicking some of the
protesters out of school. They were suspended.
The administration says the kids were not suspended for protesting,
They were suspended for some kind of unfitting behavior. Sure
they were! These awful kids had the silly notion that they had
rights. How ridiculous. Kids don't have rights. They should
know that. How many times are they going to have to get beat
up before they understand that they are less than human.
Hey kids! I have an idea for you. You all have computers,
right? Well, start to use them. Quit wasting your time in school.
Get on the internet and educate yourselves. Go to the Library
of Congress, to the University of Michigan, to Rice, and any
other library you want to visit. Quit learning what those buffoons
order you to learn and start learning things that are interesting
and will be useful to you in an ever changing world. Become the
next Buckminster Fuller.
Again in Michigan:
A school kid in Flint is facing two years in prison for bringing
an unloaded bb gun to school. One of his friends ratted on him
and he was taken down and frisked by the cops. They found the
gun. I have one question. If this kid is going to do two years
for making a silly mistake, how come Ken Lay is still walking
around free?
