Cutting Through the chaos 

As politicians play us, 

Is what we have to grapple 

After Adam ate the apple. 

 

Being fat, dumb and happy wasn't so bad after all. You know e before the health food scares, ubiquitous internet and when songs were just pleasant and light. Though, we did get smiley faces. 

 

Not so paradisical is the Stock Market. It was cumbersome and fickle before the war, conflict. But now it seems bewildered, more is more hesitant than when it was about whether or not the Mag Seven are overvalued. There are more opinions being fried around than missiles in Iran. And that is symptomatic of possible stagnation, When there are too many reasons why the market is going down or going up, there can be a growing tendency towards hit or miss.

I hear what all these scientists say about the formation of the universe. But I always have to ask, where did the first Atom come from? Do you think when they write Gensis, they meant Atom instead of Adam? And the atom made from the first atom unleashed them all. 

 

Many a celebrity looks better before the makeup artist gets a hold of them. Understated makeup works.  

 

I personally like sauces, and I alwsy look for that on entrees when ordering in a restaurant. I will generally pick anything with the word sauce in the description unless it is preceded by green,  

 

Lots of people will watch this week's big Players tournament to revel as the best players in the world hit balls in the water. It's supposed to make amateurs and hackers feel better. But mistakes are rare for pros while for me they are part of my game.  

 

The Answer: 

Barbara Millicent Roberts is the real name of Barbie, you know, the doll who makes millions. Barb’s creator Ruth Handler named the fashion icon after her daughter Barbara.  

 

Sorry it's short and late. My typing machine went berzerk today so there weremany digital interruptions. I even brought down toa geek. He said it is old age. I know all about that. Now I hope it doesn’t act up in the sending phase.
