Inconceivably Stupid Things

It's early in the campaign for president, and McCain has just handed over the presidency to Obama.

McCain Vows to 'Get Osama bin Laden'

In a major speech, John McCain vows to capture Osama bin Laden and says that the U.S. troop buildup in Iraq should be a blueprint for success in Afghanistan.

Now that's a tall promise to make.

Any reasonable person has to wonder how he can do what our troops, the CIA, the FBI and any other clandestine group has been unable to do.

If he knows where Osama is then he should share that info with those who need to know.

Please don't insult what little intelligence I have.

First US Town Powered Solely by Wind

Rock Port, Mo., has an unusual crop: wind turbines.

The four turbines that supply electricity to the small town of 1,300 residents make it the first community in the United States to operate solely on wind power.

Let's hope the wind doesn't quit blowing or they will be the first town to operate totally stupid.

Lawmakers Target Chinese-Made Flags



The fact that many U.S. flags are made in China has some politicians seeing red. While Congress can't stop the import of such flags, lawmakers want to restrict their use.

In the latest move, the House decides that any flag flown over federal property should have a Made in the U.S.A. label. Some individual states are looking at their own restrictions.

Two things - why can't Congress can't stop the import of such flags and all Chinese imports for that matter. Second, did they just happen to notice where the flags were made? This has been going on for many years.

If so, does that scare you how alert our congress is?


Is it just me or does anyone else think that by the time our illustrious politicians do something about our economy it will be too late.

Millions will lose everything they have, thousands of businesses will be closed and retirement savings will be gone.

If and when they somewhat agree to try to help the situation, a national health system will be needed to care for all the people that have lost everything and a retirement system will be needed to support the ones that cannot work any longer.


Of course that age is well past 65:

At 80, Stripper Still Takes It Off



LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- Tempest Storm, an 80-year-old burlesque dancer in Las Vegas, says she has no intention of retiring, despite her age and even though her form of entertainment is dying. "No, no. I'm not ready to hang up my G-string, yet. I've got too many fans that would be disappointed," she said.

This will become our world. If you want to get old, you'll get old, but you better work until you die.
