Elementary

Thought we'd give the new series "Elementary" a chance.  Watched the first seven minutes.  Understood not one line of dialog.  Watching "Everybody Loves Raymond" reruns.

Sheesh

Is there anyone out there who is still unconvinced of the fact that anyone who wants to be president is too dumb to be president?

I know I am too dumb to be president, but at least I am smart enough to know that.

Leadership

I can't for the life of me shake the image of Nero plucking his lyre while Rome burns, nor can I figure why on this particular evening.

Golf Tour

How is it that the idiot who shouts "Get in the hole" the instant the clubhead meets the ball always gets a spot within voice range of the broadcast mike?

Is There Any Hope?

Members of the media at the DNC in Charlotte outnumber the delegates three-to-one. (Milbank, WaPo 5 Sep 2012)

Fall Style

Enjoy your Labor Day; the vacation if you don't have to labor, your work if you do.

I'll put away the white bucks, the white shorts, and the ice-cream pants if you will put away the white tennies.

Funny Headlines; Not Funny

"A woman who was reported as missing from an Icelandic tour, unwittingly joined a search for herself." --Yahoo News

Some of us without wit started trying to "find ourselves" back in the sixties.  Some of my contemporaries are still looking.

The Race is On

Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.  Daniel 12:4b

Yet probably not swiftly enough to overtake stupid.

Home Economics

The Mrs. is putting a new trashbag in the kitchen wastebasket.

Bob:  What brand did you get this time?

She:  I don't know; they were cheap.

He:  I know.  Don't get them anymore.

She:  Why not?  I don't have any problem with them.

He:  No.  All you do is put them in the basket.  I ripped three holes in one this morning before I could get it tied up.

Fact of life:  Someone can, and will, produce an inferior imitation of any product and sell it for less.  Caveat emptor.
