Opening Stuff:
Happy Birthday Oreo's!
How Romney misses the boat Department:
Last Friday or Thursday Mitt stepped up to a podium. looking a little harried and told the audience about the bad weather outside and his scary, bumpy plane ride through he stormy Midwest. Wouldn't it have been great if he had stepped and said something like, "Before I start talking about the usual stuff, let's take a couple of minutes to talk about the awful tragedies befalling our fellow Americans throughout the Midwest. I had a bit of a turbulent ride over here, but it was walk in the park compared to the bumpy ride ahead for all of those many good people who lost everything. I've shed my tears on the way to this stage, and I stand here before you with an enormous ache in my heart."
The office of Major League Baseball in their announcement of the new playoff system used as one justification for the change the fact that two big time swooners, the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox, would have made the playoffs if the new plan had been implemented.. They didn't deserve to make it! Great, create a plan so losers can be rewarded for failure. Sounds like CEO parachute plans. Can you say grading on a curve?
Where is it written that people's private legal decisions is a Federal issue and should be paid for by the tax payer?
I would have to say that yesterday's Celtics-Knicks NBA game was "Un-Linteresting" with Rajon Rondo going triple double - 17 rebounds, 18 points, 20 assists!

Can you say Monday Night Nascar? Get ready for the roar. The ratings for the Daytona rain-out rerun last Monday night were out of sight and it has Fox and Nascar execs licking their money stained paws. Since Nascar is all about getting to the track at 1:00 for a nighttime event, the real problem becomes a little inconvenience called jobs. Maybe the Unions of America could negotiate noon company closings for Monday's. That'll keep the national cultural decline moving along ala European style. In reality, the Nascar people say that if they can move to Monday, they'd do it in the summer when more people don't work. And before the Monday Night football in the fall.
Where do all the pens go?
They just announced Christina Hull Paxson as new President of Brown University. She's a 52 year old, former Dean of Princeton's prestigious Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and a researcher on "the effects of poverty on human health". "Effects of Poverty on Human Health"? I'd say bad.
You can't spend your money better than for the current run of "Avenue Q" at RI's South County Art Center. The Tony winner is beautifully cast with flawless performances, and because of the intimacy of the small stage and seating, it is probably better than Broadway. Good music and funny lines. Ends next Sunday.
The waitress at a restaurant Friday night described the one Chardonnay as being Full Bodied. I told her that if I had their Gnocci I'd become a glass of Chardonnay. She didn't laugh.
One axiom that rarely fails is "Where there's smoke there's fire."
If you never use FaceBook, will your grandchildren eventually throw you out of the family?
The Georgetown young lawyer to be who spoke to congress pleading for the taxpayer to pay for a private choice, said that it cost $3000/year to have sex in her dorm and elsewhere. If you fill up your gas tank at an average of $50/week it will only $2,600/year. So basically, it's cheaper to to drive around and talk than jump in the sack!
In Wily's comic "Non Sequitor" this morning we see three guys at the coffee shop counter reading the paper. One says, "So I guess all of the anger in the country (Over deficits, unemployment...) is really due to women's contraception."
It appears that the fairness doctrine of the 0-Man admin (And probably centerpiece of the Dem campaign) is basically about as unfair as can be. A government that underwrites the misguided auto companies is blatantly unfair to competitor Ford which played by the rules. Giving a person a testing advantage is totally unfair to those who play by the rules. In fact manufactured fairness is probably the most flawed concept of our times.
And, I have no doubts that Wall Street and Auto companies would have rebounded without Government intervention, and we would have been a better nation for it. The Feds just added another "wildcard" for losers. For Free Enterprise to function properly, it must include the negative side of risk.
The EPA has replaced the IRS as the most inhumane department of the Federal Government. They don't only not hear, not listen, understand or sympathize, they are condescending while they do it. I'd get rid of it in a flash.
If you are a potential terrorist sneaking into the USA and want to blend in, do you join Hibernian Hall, an Italian Social Club or a Mosque? Looking in the right direction is efficient, not xenophobic or racist.
Good news Red Sox fans!: Saturday the Beloveds won their first two games in a row since last August. Of course, it was against two college teams.
Almost Near: Chapter 63 continues.
A attractive Woman hand extended, move towards Samantha's side after she inquired about the page at the Hertz desk. "Hi, you are Samantha Wilcox?" Without waiting for a response, "I'm Audrey."
Samantha's face relaxed. "Audrey, Audrey. This is just what I needed. A friend." She blushed. "Look at me.. a friend. How dumb is that. I don't even know you" She laughed and then hugged Audrey."
Audrey could sense the need in this woman, this harried woman who has been through so much. And Audrey thought she could be just getting started on a something that could be even more traumatic. Yet, as Audrey stepped back, she saw something special in the woman's eyes. "I am certainly your friend. We have both been charmed by the same man!"
"Thank you."
"I have met your children and they are beautiful. But, they are worried and and confused. And they love you very much. I could tell." Audrey looked aside and could see Samantha's hand touching a tear in the corner of her eyes.
"I'm supposed to know a lot about Tucker, or Tommy or whoever he is. But, I don't even know mush about him since I re-met him a couple of months ago. I needed somebody and he was there, and seemed to know everything about me."
"Well, he came to Little Rock looking for you, and I have to admit he was appealing, even to this crusty old reporter."
"I guess we'll just wait together. What time is the next plane?"
The Answer:
Ok...how about glass globes from light fixtures; shower heads and faucet handles; plastic brushes and combs or hair accommodations like barrettes; Baseball hats and visors (Use borax instead of Detergent - Hat down, no heat dry; out hat over bowl to dry.); Plastic toys; Pet Bowls; Kitchen sponges and brushes; Personal items like toothbrushes and holders, nail and make-up brushes; Kitchen appliance parts including things like range hood grease filters or gas stove enamel coated grates. I know, you all already do this.I haven't been listening to Limbaugh that much for a couple of years now. I though his humor was a little contrived and insulting to intelligent people (Yes I include myself there occasionally), although to be fair his analytical powers after some political or controversial event were always worth a listen from time to time. So basically when I saw headlines this weekend with "Rush", I didn't read them because from past experience they are either generally something self-serving or obvious comments from an opposition who hates him. When people at dinner, and in an email said, "what you think about Rush?", I didn't know what they were talking about. But when described, I saw that the commentator had really gone over the stupid line this time. But I still don't know why Congress spends taxpayer money talking to a college student about free contraception. Subsidized textbooks, maybe.
I'm trying to rid myself of the grime from the political gutter. Maybe I'll jump in dishwasher.
