Thinking

What happens the day after forever?

If you are religious you learn about everlasting life. Everlasting life would have no end. I can't comprehend how long that would be or what one would be doing forever. What would you do forever? I'm guessing that the day after forever is a day that the Politicians stand up and tell us how good we have it and that they are going to reduce taxes forever. It's now time for a glass of wine and a Tramadol (I have a tooth ache.)

As always, "There's a lot of sadness in the World."

Week in Review

Politician of the Week---John Edwards
Just because you lied to your wife (who has cancer), lied to voters, disappointed your staff and supporters, had sex with your mistress, had your friends cover-up, and now fess up to fathering a child doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be President of the United States. My Bad!!!

Author of the Week---Stieg Larsson A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue. (Book cover)

Rich Guy of the Week---Warren Buffett
"It's class warfare, and my class is winning, but they shouldn't be," Buffett says. "If you're in the luckiest 1% of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99%."

And as Norland always says, "There's a lot of sadness in the World."

Democrats From Hell

Ted Kennedy rolled over in his grave on January 19th. The Irish drank themselves into a Republican stupor. I guess the Democrats are too dumb to realize that they need to plan for success. I think it would be wise for the D's to pay Karl Rove whatever he wants to teach them how to be successful. Mr. Nice guy doesn't work. Mr. Dumb guy doesn't work. What will work?


Decide what the Country needs. Make a long term plan to achieve that goal. Attack the opposition rather than coddle them. If you can't win don't play. Only insane people keep doing the same stupid thing over and over and expect a different result.

I'm going to drink lots of wine now and perhaps I will wake up to the new improved Democrats. God I hope so.

Living in the moment

Today will never reappear except in tomorrow's thoughts. Lusting, creating, building, smiling at those who disappoint, walking away from anger filled lives, fighting evil, drinking the ale of pleasure, tasting a grandchild's homemade cookie, caressing your lover, smelling the nectar of life, being in the present moment is the best we can do.

Health Care

Most of us "care to have health." When our health fails us due to something we did or something that nature did, we want help. Should only the rich, or only the super intelligent, or only politicians get help??
