Opening Stuff:
I could see the heart of Sabastian Pinera swell several times over the course of the evening as one by one the miners returned to their loved ones.
I loved the phrase I heard yesterday, “Trickle up Poverty”. Obviously refers to a down grade of the upper and middle classes if income redistribution actually gains momentum. It is the inevitable result of taking from the producers. Then I learned it was the title of a new book by Michael Savage. Hey, it still works.
Let’s see…when Dem candidates really need help (Like Feingold fighting for his life in Wisconsin), Michelle O is sent out to inspire voters. And then the Clintons run out to regions where 0-Man is perceived as unwelcome. So, I’m thinking that the 2012 Convention will pit Veggie-Girl Against The Hill for the nomination.
If I were Adam, we’d probably all still be in Paradise. Apples just don’t do anything for me.
The Question:
This bonus Q-day! Ehah!! Part One: You can find many great artists from Van Gogh to Michelangelo who were thoroughly depressed. But only one well known artist was a true out and out alcoholic (Or at least only one admitted it to his/her biographer). Who was it? Part Two: While we’re alcoholic prone celebs, one actor played the world famous superspy, martini stirrer 007 more than any other. Who was it and name his Bond films.

Back to More Stuff:
Did you hear about the executioner who when not working just hung around?
This is becoming one of the toughest NFL pickin’ seasons ever. A season where it appears any team can beat any other team. Last year’s two Superbowl teams are struggling. And the experts pre-season “Hot” teams have disappointed…except I guess the dreaded Je-Je-Je…(WYKWIM). Look at this weeks match-ups where picking the winner would be as much luck as skill or NFL knowledge: NE-Balt, Miam-GB, KC-Hous, Atl-Phil, NO-TB, NYJ-Den, Oak-SF, Dal-Minn (2 expert hot picks at 1-3), Indy-Wash and Jax-Tenn. They are coin flippers. And if the NYG’s were still playing like they were two weeks ago, I’d be picking Detroit who is getting stronger. And who knows which Jints team will show this week? Enough intro. The time has come. I’m thinking that home field advantage is my out when I pick NE and several others GB, Houston, TB, Denver, SF, Minn and Washington. I see Atlanta, San Diego and Tennessee as visiting winners in the tougher games. For the rest it is Chicago, Pitt and Giants. Last week’s 9-5 brought the Tid’s team to 50-26 (65.7%).
I was fairly disgusted last night when flipping through the channels came across the Daily show where a comedian, Olivia Munn, was making fun of, ridiculing the miner’s ordeal. Somehow we have to refortify our culture. Give it a rest already.
There is a lot of talk and grandstanding about the illegalities associated with many foreclosures. It is a serious problem and certainly an indication of shoddy work in an overwhelming tide of defaulted mortgages. But, the fact remains that, whether properly signed or not, the initiation of the paperwork was the result of people not paying. It is said that after all is said and done, there will be but a handful of foreclosures overturned.
This years election is as much about the press giving up their place in society as unbiased protectors of the truth as it is about discarding a Congress that seems to have totally lost its way.
You have to worry about where our grant money is going when you learn about a professor at U. Vermont writing a paper on “Whale Poop that is fluffy like a tuft of wool.”
Speaking of smelly stuff, did you hear about the Captain and the sailors at sea? At the morning inspection the ships captain told the First Mate that his men smell bad and perhaps he should suggest that they change their underwear occasionally. “Aye, Aye”, said the First, and he ran below. He gathered the sailors and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and he wants you to change your underwear.” He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones; McCarthy, you change with Witkowski; Brown you change with Schultz.” The moral of the story is that someone may come along and promise “Change”, but don’t count on things smelling any better.
The emotional at times Michael Savage, a self proclaimed refugee from 60’s radicalism, is absolutely right-on a lot more than he is misguided. You just have to stay calm and pay attention.
The Question:
Part One; Jackson Pollack is acknowledged as a very creative contemporary painter. But he was equally competent and putting away the sauce. Actually to many, his paintings look like his brain on vodka. Part Two: Roger Moore was the most prolific of the martini stirring spy. Well at least in number of years playing the role. He made as many Bond’s as Sean Connery, 7, but one of Connery’s “Never Say never Again” was not considered officially part of the EON Production series. Moore’s are Live and Let Die, The man With the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy and A View to a Kill.
The End:
You gotta hope that the world learned a lot from the Chilean miner endurance and cooperation about living together for the good of all. In fact I believe that if we didn’t have politicians and the media exploiting differences that we could achieve that. Everybody wants to be loved.
As soon as I get the inspiration, I’ll be back again with a new installment novel.So far I've had two suggestions from readers: 1. A Buxum starter on a golf course. 2. Why Boston and the world have an innate hatred of the Ya-ya-Ya's.
