Sorry, everyone, I've been traveling. Beginning again next week we'll be adding lines at least two times a week. Hope you'll check back and until next week, here's part 1 of a catch up of the news:
10/28: Population experts inform us that the 7 billionth person in the world will be born any day now. The race is on. Will the parents win some kind of lottery? Can Mother Earth support 7 billion people? Stupid question. Mother Earth can't even afford bus fare to get to her three jobs.
10/31: I loved the Herman Cain commercial in which the narrator blows cigarette smoke into the camera. How brave of Cain to recognize that smokers are voters too -- although you may not want to follow them into the voting booth. As the ad went viral, it was the puff blown 'round the world.
11/1: What a scene -- Herman Cain singing a church hymn at a Washington press conference. The singing candidate, fighting allegations of sexual harassment, while looking like he was plugging an album. Note: The singing of hymns at the National Press Club is forbidden on the grounds that its members are way beyond redemption.
11/4: In the middle of a global financial crisis, the G-20 Conference met in hedonistic Cannes, France where the spoiled champagne-for-breakfast crowd frolics on the nude beaches. And those are just the bankers. When Europe offered a plan to save Greece from total disaster, Greece said, "We'll think about it." I suppose the Greeks could do much worse -- like turning the problem over to a super committee.
11/7: The 2012 election is about hope and change. Republicans hope that the unemployment rate will not change.
11/9: Those Founding Fathers sure were short-sighted. When they wrote the Constitution they left out whether a GPS device was permitted under the Fourth Amendment. The Supreme Court is pondering whether a concealed tracking device constitutes illegal search and seizure. Earth to Court: privacy flew the coop years ago. And Justice Alito -- I see that your lawn needs mowing.
