When North Korea announced that Kim Jong Un would replace dad Kim Jong IL it was known as a bad heir day!
I’d take that capsule, beaten and battered just as it was when the last miner stepped safely upon the Chilean land once again, and transform it into a beautiful monument for all to see. I place it smack right in the center of the busiest square in Santiago. As a wonderful tribute to the best in humanity. The courage, cooperation and love of man for his fellow beings.
Which brings me to a comment in the comic strip “The Buckets” where the wife asks “Who do you want to win the $10,000 for The Funniest Video.” And, the husband answers, “None of them showed any behavior I want rewarded.”
Which reminds me of how often we get bombarded by loathsome athletes deeds -- Beating up wives and girl friends, assaulting strangers, shooting guns and taking drugs. -- And then watch apologists rush to their defense. But last week at the end of the Atlanta-San Fran series something quite excellent happened and I never saw a word or heard a comment about it. Is it because you can’t make money off of goodness? After the third out that ended the game and gave the Giants their elusive title, the SF players didn’t rush to jump in a pile and squirt Champaign. Nope, the players turned to the Atlanta dugout and started to applaud retiring Atlanta manager Bobby Cox. This was the venerable manger’s last game; it was obvious that the players thought highly of how he ran his team and contributed to the overall quality of their sport.
The Question:
I am really out of touch with with drives kids and many young adults to stare hours upon hours at their Mobile Phone. Name the top all time selling Mobile Phone Games.

Back to More Stuff:
I hear that kids this Halloween will be dressing as “Incumbents”. They’ll be wearing paper bags over their heads.
In case you are interested, Health.com picks the five healthiest Fast Food restaurants: Panera Bread, Jason’s Deli (Editor’s Note: Real good deli’s are healthy), Au Bon Pain, Noodles and Company and Corner Bakery Café. Notice how many of these places got their start baking “White” bread. So I figure that if I keep on eating good old white bread, I’ll eventually evolve into a health nut.
The only thing dumber than Verizon’s automated computer system may be “Spell Check.’ For instance when you mistype “to” as “Ti” how hard would it be for a computer to recognize that the only two letter word that starts with a “t” is to! No, they give you six or seven options that begin with “Ti”.
While we’re on Microsoft, how long will it be until this giant crumbles? We may have an inkling Monday when Apple reports earnings, and more importantly, sales of the iPad. Big Windows’ users Dell and H&P will be eying those numbers to. The reality is that more and more PC users don’t need much more than an Internet/eMail machine. All of the gigabyte computing power probably goes unused by most.
There’s a hole in the heart of Baby Boomers everywhere. June Cleaver ( Barbara Billingsley ) died last night at the age of 94. The perfect mom. Always there for the Beave and Wally. And for her loving husband. But most of all for all of the kids of American (And adults) who enjoyed the happy refuge of the Cleaver households. Her own real life sons say her innate goodness and loving kindness didn’t end at the show. She was exactly the same at home.
But, that was then and this is now. However there are way more homes today like the Cleaver household than TV would want you to believe. Today the Beave would be binging home a gay friend. In fact movies and television have an inordinate amount of gay people romping across the stage when you consider that best estimates put the gay population at between 2-4%. But, what I really don’t comprehend is why gay America would stand for those clichéd portrayals of their fellow brethren.
When listening to classical music, often the most intriguing and emotional part are the undertones of cellos and bass violins. The ear automatically goes to the flurry of the main themes which is only one dimension of the piece. Beethoven’s Seventh, 1st and 4th movements and Tchaikovsky’s 4th, 1st movement are good examples. If I knew anything about music you would probably understand what I was saying.
One reason never to buy movies is so you’ll never have to read stories with headlines like “What to do with all of those VHS tapes.” But, headlines like that makes me fret about the future of my 400 plus classical CD’s. I tried to convert them to an iPod, but it is just too long a process to be efficient. I guess I’ll be ok as long as somebody still makes a CD player.
What ever happened to eloquence and statesmanship?
US Politics Today Department:
Sorry kids, but new research says that Dinosaurs ate their pals for dinner. Yes these popular creatures may have died off simply because there were no more friends to eat. The next thing you know some body will be writing a paper saying that Liberals really hate their American heritage and consider themselves above our traditional way of life. Isn’t anything sacred anymore?
The only way to stop this is to keep the name “Rhode Island and Providence Plantations” alive.
Are the Polish shiny?
The Answer: Number One is Block Breaker Deluxe. The rest are Sonic the Hedgehog, Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, Final Fantasy IV, Flight control, Pocket Gold, Flick Fishing, Bubble Bash, Coin Stack, Cut the Rope, Doom RPG, Guitar Hero III and Super Bomberman.
The End:
I think a big part of the ills of the world is the media dwelling on the negative. The world was re-invigorated by the love and courage of the Chile miners. But as far as I can tell, the media is spending a lot of time looking for something they may have done wrong. It’s disgusting. People are basically good.
