A letter from a very dear friend of mine sparked a trip down memory lane. I mused over the great times spent with the Bush for President people during the 2000 campaign for over nine intensive months and the following 2004 campaign on a less-intensive basis. Read more »
To plagiarize Shakespeare, “That is the question”. Oooo, maybe not plagiarizing, since I changed the BE to a DUMMY and game the old bard credit for the rest of the phrase.
Now, in the interest of being totally up front, I do not receive any royalties or fees of plays or books from anyone or organization related to Shakespeare or his works. I also do not have any ties to CNN. OK, you nearly caught me in a lie there, as I do have a tie to CNN: I distrust them as being balanced as a news organization. Read more »
After a while, we would hear what happened to the person and it usually was not nice, as at this time, the postal inspectors had never lost a prosecution of those who were foolhardy enough to think they could win in court. Those who decided not to go to court had to resign, lost their pensions (which were the best pensions in the world besides congress’ pensions), could never work in any government job ever again and had all their bank accounts cleaned out of cash.

Well, the theft was not prevented, but it made for some good alliteration in the title of this piece. I spied an entry on Drudge that caught my attention. “Postal worker admits stealing 3000 NETFLIX DVDs…”
I thought about the headline and the word “admits” popped to the surface of my mind. Thinking back (I know it’s dangerous since there is a RED fire alert here in California), I seem to recall that most stories of postal theft include the fact that the post office employee admitted the theft.

I just had to pass this on from my email….
The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd.
The Madame Speaker and The Pope, however, have seen it all before.
To make it a little more interesting, Madame Speaker says to the Pope, “Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every Democrat in the crowd go wild?”
He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the wave elicits rapture & cheering from every democrat in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsides. Read more »
This brings to light a quandary. On one hand (no pun intended) enhanced marking quantity control would make dogs descended from men. On the other hand (pun intended) man’s opposable thumb allows us men to adapt and accomplish things dogs cannot do, thus promoting the evolutionary theory that men came from dogs. Read more »
The evolutionists will probably praise me for this, but this is probably the only time they will agree with me. No, I have not given up any of my Christianity, but I have observer first-hand the similarities between male dogs and men. I am not being sexist and there may be similarities between female dogs and women; I am just not going to go there now. Read more »
Speaking of acronyms that do not roll off the tongue easily, try FGOTUS. This epitomizes government waste. Give up? It is First Gentlemen Of The United States; POTUS sounds better, so write to your congressional people and urge them to support eliminating FGOTUS (The acronym, not the actual person). Read more »
There are literally thousands of acronyms in government. Eliminating all the agencies that are referred to with three letters or so (FBI, CIA, NSA, etc.), there are still uncountable thousands left.
SCOTUS (Supreme Court Of The United States) is well known and referred to often in the news. FLOTUS became very popular with Jackie Kennedy (First Lady Of The United States) when Jack became President Of The United States (POTUS). Read more »
Various other people have volunteered and the government was able to fake their deaths and have their brains join the project.
Despite the secrecy, on July 5th, the following headline appeared in the Mirror, a news organization in the United Kingdom: Read more »
