Rambler 29

Let’s do a write-in campaign for T. Boone Pickens for President. At least he has a plan for one of our major problems. He has plans for our gas problems; politicians’ gas give us problems.

I am convinced the game “Charades” was invented by either the House or the Senate. Since they are motionless, it is difficult to guess correctly what they are or what they are doing or representing.

Ads should list the actual company or organization paying for the ad. Today we are in the midst of massive propaganda campaigns by various special interest groups.

Wal-Mart payroll has classified its greeter work position as “Howdy” duty time.

Protaginists-two people fighting. Shouldn’t it be antitaginists?

Illegal immigrants and gangs seem to go hand in hand. Hail, hail, the gangs are all here.

Recent economic events have altered another adage: “necessity is the mother of intervention.”

We seem very worried about the cross border raids in Pakistan but not about the major forays across the Mexican Border. More people have been killed near our border by drug wars than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

A rehabilitation site for birds has been working with injured raptors. While the birds are healing they are being trained to work with drug sniffing dogs. The raptors thump the wheels (like semi drivers) to see if the sound is right, if not they alert their handler. Recent success led to the headline: “Ill eagle tire tap results in drug bust.”

The Equestrian Society said the grievance by the rider was spurious.

After Enron and other collapses there was a revival of the term “ethics.” The only problem is, the courses were taught in universities that accepted kick backs from the credit card and student loan companies they allowed to prey on their students.

Doctors agree that a change to the approach for treatment of pain is sorely needed.

To conserve energy, flour will no longer be self rising.
