The objective in Kenya these days as they struggle for inner peace is to get all of the tribes to call themselves Kenyans Over here we are gong in the opposite direction. Instead of everybody being Americans, many are becoming ethnicity-Americans. Of course the US pols love it because then they can pit the different groups against each other – just as many other African despots having been doing for years to assure that their tyranny continues. We are no longer a melting pot. We are a box of nuts and bolts trying to screw each other.

I guess Paige was pretty miserable Tuesday and her dismissal on AI last night was certainly justified. But, Tim is below average and should have gone (And Paige is innately more talented). We are losing too many women, leading me to think that most of the voters are younger girls who keep the “Cuties” (In their minds) alive. While I like Katie, I thought she belonged in the bottom 3 last night. I’m ready to vote out Tim next week. Next week is R&B/Soul, and I’m guessing a boring night and some shaky performances.

I like many will be watching Cornell vs. Kentucky tonight. This is the classic “Team” versus exceptional athleticism game. Kentucky is probably the favorite now to go all the way. I’d love to see Northern Iowa and St. Mary’s keep on going. Of course, my bracket has West Virginia winning it all and they are still there. I’m picking W.Va, Cornell, St. Mary’s, Duke, The OSU, Northern Iowa (MS has lost key player), Xavier and Syracuse. Hey I like the little guy. Shoot me. All of the games are very interesting match-ups.

Rajon Rondo is one of the most exciting basketball players I have ever watched.

Through the Same Eyes: Chapter 62 continues. –“You know Paul, Kent just took his good fortune in stride.” Sally continued, “But that’s just Middleton.” She thought a few minutes, and added “He’s either the smartest person alive, or he knew this was happening. Because as soon as the decision was made to pick up Bromsky’s work, he had a plan in place.”
I almost blurted in response, “Don’t tell him I said it, but he can be eerie at times. But he is very smart.” A couple of his people made non-committal nods and then looked around the room. We started some heavy duty work on the task at hand. After a couple of hours of mental depletion, we agreed to sit back and let our brains come back. Like running your laptop on a battery from time to time so it remembers that recharging is good for it’s long term health.
We started walking towards the cafeteria when Randy Montrose said, “Your wife looks like a very nice person.”
“Have you met my wife?” I replied. It was always good to hear nice thing about the woman you loved.
“Not really,” he countered, “But I have seen her many times with Middleton.” He looked over at me with a little grin. “I figured that she must be nice because he seemed to know how to get Middleton laughing!” And he added. “Not many people can do that.”
“Oh, she’s pretty sensational.” I countered while thinking of that image of Kent laying on Sarah’s hospital bed.

Apparently in a lot of countries around the world, kids score better than Americans on tests that measure education. I think it is surprising, since our kids despite what the critics say get a pretty good education. So I’m thinking that the problem is that our kids just don’t test well. Maybe our kids just sit there thinking about the next text message.

Of course, if you flunk out of school there are still plenty of opportunities remaining for you in America. For instance you could become an Octomom. In this country where amoral activity has never been a bar to success, you could reap the benefits of irresponsibility too. You may have heard that this incubator is in trouble with her mortgage, owing the bank a balloon payment of $450,0000 to th banks. Even media sensations don’t have that kind of dough lying around. In comes our beloved PETA, they have offered her $5,000 plus free veggie burgers and hotdogs for a month if she agrees to put a sign in front of her home: “Don’t let your dogs and cats become Octomoms.”

And…Porn maker Vivid Entertainment said it would pay off the $450K if she would make an X-Rated film. Vivid owner Hirsch said it would be “tasteful”. See, you don’t have to study in school to make a bundle.

Oh, and while we’re on education, I wondering where the school boards are taking out children. I have noticed that good fattening cafeteria food will soon be replaced by carrots and lettuce. Couple that with the free condom give-away programs and you see schools programs producing a generation of rabbits. Hey, it will be great for Easter pageants!

I always paid attention when Robert Culp came on the screen. He had a certain degree of affability that was always comfortable. His “! Spy” comedy espionage show with Bill Cosby was one of the all time classics. Thanks for the smiles!

Quiz Answer:
Russia has 2,707 warheads. The US follows with 2,202. the new agreement calls for a max of between 1,700 and 2,200. (Two warheads will soon be available at your local Army-Navy surplus store.) The rest are France – 300, China – 166 and Britain -160.

A long closing statement about nothing Department:
I was whipping along this morning when all of a sudden the President of the New England Patriots came on the radio for an interview. The Patriots seem to be floundering to me, so I was diverted. It’s tough to make up stuff for “Through the Same Eyes” when your mind is on the football field.

I told you this was a long closing statement about nothing. Why did you read it?
