It started here, & ends better

This morning, I saw a follow up to what that post was about. An illegal immigrant was drunk, driving, & killed 2 teenage girls in the car in front of him. Rivera & O’Reilly went after each other for a bit, & that was as far as it went.
Today, there was a follow-up on GMA. [...]

Can we make it?

We have a reservation in Colorado Springs, starting the 29th, through the 1st. Hotel even, not a motel. Not the Brown Palace, unfortunately. That’s in Denver. If I booked 2 nights at the Brown Palace, Chris would stroke out. That place has earned its 4 star rating. The service there is fabulous. It’s also priced to reflect [...]

Enforced treatment a bad thing?

Say a person has schizophrenia, is not in a formal treatment program, not taking his/her medication, & kills someone while in the midst of an episode. Is that person guilty of a crime? I don’t believe so. The mental health community, & the people who object to people being forced to take their medication, those [...]

Not part of the executive entity?

What’s he thinking? Let me guess, he isn’t.
Since when is the Vice President’s office not part of the Executive Branch of the government? I guess since Dick Cheney decided it wasn’t. That the man is up to something is a given. What he’s doing is anyones guess.
The public knows his office leaks like a sieve. [...]

A thing of the past

Unbiased journalism is on the way out, it appears.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19113485/
Maybe I’m living further in the past than I thought. Probably am, for that matter. But I have to wonder, how can a writer/editor/staff member of any news publication group truly be unbiased, if they are busy trying to get someone elected to a public office? I [...]

Attitudes

We have attitudes here today. And they aren’t that good.
Chris worked on a sprinkler system for a customer. Now the stupid thing doesn’t want to work. Nothing that he did could have caused a complete failure. But he’s stuck in the middle of this thing. At this point, he won’t even bill the customer for [...]

PG, but worth it

The 11th Husband
A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced 10 husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband to “Please be gentle: I’m still a virgin”.
“What?” said the puzzled groom. “How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?”
“Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling [...]

“Do not muzzle the ox that treads the corn”

Not according to Chris, this morning.
He was talking to Carolyn, the wife of the teacher in the Sunday School class he attends, to see how the baking went over. He was complaining that he never gets to have any before it gets cut, at church, usually by Sylvia, the children’s director. He’s known about this [...]
