To make cell phones less irritating, Southern Bell is implementing new, softer tones. Where are they heading with this? It is my hunch, back to the “quasi motto” of ringing bells-more pleasantly.
Ford has a diesel car that gets 65 MPG that is being sold in Europe but not here. Apparently dealing with the varying state laws on emissions is too restrictive. It would seem to make sense to approve its sale in the USA from the following viewpoints: fuel economy; emissions, and the need to boost the sales of domestic cars. I forgot: sense and politics are mutually exclusive.
Texas is no longer the “loan star” state. It is now California.
In addition to mortgaging the future of America, the recent ”Ponzi Scheme” has adversely affected the international credibility of our country’s values and financial systems.
All zoological labs researching pachyderm reproduction are now required to display the periodic table of elephants.
I would be willing to wager that there are still banks out there offering “no money down” home loans with the thought that they will get bailed out if they flail.
The Venturi Principle: give a politician a small opening to spend money and it is amazing how much he/she can force through it and at what great speeds.
Nikola Tesla, the inventor of AC, the radio, (he also sketched solar collectors, mentioned the possibility of: radar, power transmission without wire and other forward looking electronics) said over 100 years ago that we shouldn’t become too dependent on fossil fuels because there is a limit to the supply. We are sure slow to catch on. In electrical terms, this concept has met with a lot of resistance.
A new sugar substitute has been invented for politicians-ambidextrose. Its use will allow politicians to sweet talk us out of either side of their mouths.
This is a simple example of matter and anti matter: Democrats and Republicans. You bring them together and a loud noise ensues. One cancels the other, and you end up with nothing.
Dr. Oz (frequent guest medical speaker on Oprah) has written a new book: The Telltale Fart. In the book he makes scents of our intestinal tract.
To conserve energy, gravity will be suspended one day a week. Levity (or was it levitation?) will be applied on the day of suspension.
The only customers more abused than airline passengers are the voters.
If I have multiple personalities, will we know it.
Was the recent attempt to give taxpayers some money an example of a governmental slump pump?
The happenings on Wall Street are resulting in a remake of an old classic, John Wayne, movie. The new one will be called: “True Graft.” At least in the original, the bad guys were shot.
Look at the number of days the two houses are in session and wonder why nothing gets resolved?
