President Bush ordered new sanctions on Syria by executive order and he accused Damascus of meddling with Iraq and Lebanon.  What business do they have meddling with their neighbors?  They should go across the oceans and do it like we do.

That cornstarch DVD burner and I went another round again last night and I lost.  I’m going to Staples this morning to buy another one.  I’ll show that ornery thing!

Tracey is leaving us today.  She will be going up north near Chicago to stay ... for a couple days.  She should be home late Thursday after “meetings”.  I swear this bunch she works for is the meetingest I ever did see.  They’ll have a meeting at the drop of a hat and even have a meeting to see who gets to drop it next.  Hopefully she will get a nice room with a comfy pillow and they feed her something besides rubber chicken.  Although if she has a bad time she will be all the happier to get home!

Between the Hilarity campaign and the right wing GOP the email propaganda about Obama being a Muslim continues to make its way from home to home.  I try to correct people who I know but it is just one of those crazy things about our society.  Some people will believe a nameless origin for gossip over the truth.  Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim.  You would think that would have been sufficiently explained and proved by now but I guess those who oppose him will use anything to try to slander him.  There are plenty of real reasons (like his lack of immigration sense) to oppose him.  We don’t need to make any up.

The following article is one in a long list of other ways to shape an election.  Don’t let people vote.  You can do that by having only one place to vote in the entire county and then have only one voting booth.  Odd how that works to restrict those areas that are usually not GOP supporters.  Then they can crow about “low voter turnout”.  That’s a real twofer isn’t it.  Keep you from voting and then blame you for it?

Fish
A redneck was stopped by a game warden in Central Mississippi recently with two ice chests full of fish.  He was leavin’ a cove well-known for its fishing.

The game warden asked the man, “Do you have a license to catch those fish?”
“Naw, sir”, replied the redneck.  “I ain’t got none of them there licenses.  You must understand, these here are my pet fish.”

“Pet fish?”

“Yeah.  Every night, I take these here fish down to the lake and let ‘em swim ‘round for awhile.  Then, when I whistle, they jump right back into these here ice chests and I take ‘em home.”

“That’s a bunch of hooey!  Fish can’t do that.”

The redneck looked at the warden for a moment and then said, “It’s the truth Mr.  Government Man.  I’ll show ya.  It really works.”

“O.  K.”, said the warden.  “I’ve got to see this!”

The redneck poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.

After several minutes, the warden says, “Well?”  “Well, what?”, says the redneck.

The warden says, “When are you going to call them back?”

“Call who back?”

“The FISH”, replied the warden!

“What fish?”, replied the redneck.

Moral of the story: We may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we ain’t as dumb as some government employees.
