In a recruiting search, Planter’s Peanuts has identified a notary public in President Carter’s former home town in Georgia as their goober notarial candidate.
Parodies: House and Senate debt and deception.
The Communist Party in China is now allowing leaders to state their opinions in the edictorial section of local and national papers.
I saw a fine editorial on the pharmaceutical pill pushing that is going on. It pointed out that the daily bombardment of TV ads on mood altering drugs is giving our kids and grandkids the view that there is a pill to solve every problem rather than learning to deal with life’s ups and downs. Do we wonder why Britney has problems, or Heath accidentally overdosed? I think the pharmaceutical companies are pillaging.
UN spokesman says Siamese Twins must be renamed Thai Twins. (The Thais That Bind, and Family Thais have already been updated.) The movie, “The King and I,” will have to be remade-Yul find that’s a no Brynner. These announcements are based on the need for geopolitical correctness.
Surprise! Botox has been linked to some deaths and some other medical problems. What do you think will happen when you inject poison?
The FDA says the high mortality rate is due to the numbness after injection, the patients can’t feel the problem until it’s too late. I imagine the announcer said this with a straight face.
The request from The State Department for a new design for helmets used at the equator has led to a pithing contest.
Every month upon receipt of my power bill I am reminded of the “Charge of the Light Brigade”. I think both documents are odes and fighting one is about as futile as the other was.
A noted Virginia religious leader is to speak from the bullpit on behalf of the ASPCA.
The National Chiropractors Associations says the current economic downturn is causing its members to make some adjustments.
There are definitely some parallels between Iraq and Viet Nam (I spent a year in the latter): The Gulf of Tonkin and WMD both turned out to be false or exaggerations but started wars. Both have resulted in large losses/injuries of personnel and heavy monetary investments. Both involved poor planning . Rumsfeld was involved with VN. Rumsfeld was involved with Iraq. Is this what they mean by history repeating itself? (I must add that the McNamara Band deserves its share of the discredit for the way the Viet Nam War was conducted.)
Word is still out on the new governmental glossary of terms. Sorry, it was glossingover.
I suffer from C.O.P.D.: chronic outlandish pun disease. Actually I suffer from both forms (breathing as well as thinking). The use of oxygen for the one may have lead to the other. Or did they give me laughing gas? Ether one will work.
The wave of litigation over .com sites threatens to be come a sue namey.
If incumbents are voted out (highly recommended) who do we vote in: outcumbents or cumbents?
