Monday Musings and Ramblings

RIP Buck Owens. The Heaven version of Hee Haw just got another great cast member.

Why do the signs that say "Slow Children" have a picture of a running child?

Pat Robertson is in trouble again. He has been blasted by almost every group out there for blaming Jews for running Hollywood to “promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength”. He also blamed Hollywood for promoting lesbianism and homosexuality. Many groups have called on Robertson to immediately apologize. Oh, wait. My bad. It wasn’t Robertson who said these things. It was Louis Farrakhan who said those things…on 26 February…and the silence has been deafening.

A woman’s perfect breakfast - She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week. Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.

A lot of people don’t even know who Hugo Chavez is. The President of Venezuela only makes the news when he calls President Bush names. I heard he recently called him a donkey. Seems the man can’t even get his political parties straight. Pelosi, Hillary and Reid are the donkeys, Mr. Chavez. Every time I read Chavez ranting about Bush, I am reminded of a third grader calling a high school student a poopyhead. Of course the high schooler is not going to respond, having more maturity and wisdom.

Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

A great article on education by Thomas Sowell. Another by John Stossel. Yet another by Walter Williams.

Monday Funny

An elderly lady hired two brawny men install some new floor covering in the kitchen. Once they had moved the stove and refrigerator out of the way, it was not long before the job was done.

As they were getting ready to leave, she asked them to put the heavy appliances back in place. The two men demanded $45 for this service, stating it was not in their contract.

She had no choice but to pay them. As soon as they left, however, the doorbell rang. It was the two men, asking the elderly lady to move her car, which was blocking their van.

She told them her fee: $45.
