Monday Musings and Ramblings

Another week, another set of random thoughts.

In the Revolutionary War, we called him Benedict Arnold. In WW II we called her Tokyo Rose. In Vietnam we called them Jane Fonda and John Kerry. Today we call them Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Sean Penn, Jane Fonda (again), and many other names. There are a few names I would like to call them, and do in private.

Comedian James Gregory says he doesn’t mind flying once year because it allows him to catch up on his drinking and praying.

Why is it that Rafael Palmeiro has incurred all this indignant wrath from fans and sports reporters, yet nothing is being said about Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire? Oh, and what a shock that Bonds says Congress should stop investigating steroid use by ballplayers. Sort of like Jesse James saying lawmen shouldn’t try to catch bank robbers.

If you're bidding on a job for UPS, don't send your bid by FedEx.

Cindy Sheehan gets all the news attention. This father of a Marine killed in Iraq gets none. Surprised? By the way, notice that the father is holding a cross with his son’s name that he took from Sheehan’s little get-together in TX. Who gave her permission to use that name for her political purposes? For that matter, did she have permission to use any of the names?

If your computer says, "Printer out of Paper," this problem cannot be resolved by continuously clicking the "OK" button.

It seems that the NY Times is upset that Kansas will allow 14 year old girls to marry. I wonder why they are not up in arms that the same state will allow the same girl to have an abortion. Oh wait, I think I know.
