All during the reign of G.W. Bush, the dictator who we were warned was building up power for his Nazi takeover of America, leftists told us that we should be sending more of our troops to Afghanistan where our true enemy can be found, not to Iraq.

A number of readers emailed me suggestions on why the International Olympic Committee chose Rio de Janeiro as the host city for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. It really wasn't that Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was a better saleman than Obama, it's just that Rio is an easier product to sell.

I have collected the following Taliban jokes from numerous emails from my readers. Rather than posting one or two emails at a time, I decided to wait until I had a few dozen of them.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

I get hundreds of emails asking me to reprint them. Some of them I have indeed posted, thank you, and can be read in my category tagged Emails.

In this youtube video we quickly see the difference between casino CEO Steve Wynn vs Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm.

Reader B.W. sent me this email showing quite clearly the difference between Democrat and Republican Governors. Please be sure to read my notes at the bottom of my post.

A popular anti-Semitic joke goes like this:
Q: What do you call a Jew on the moon?
A: A Problem.
Q: What do you call two Jews on the moon?
A: Still a problem.
Q: What do you call every Jew on the moon?
A: Problem solved.

So I get an email that informs me that at 12:34:56 today on 7/8/9 it will be 123456789 which only happens once every 100 years. Actually it was better 6,940 days ago (that's 19 years ago for those of you without a calculator) when we passed through 12:34:56 on 7/7/90 where we had 1234567890 and so all the digits were represented.

On 9 September 1850, California became a state.
The people had no electricity.
The state had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.

When I was 6 years old my mother took me to the women's locker room at Orchard Beach to change. It was not unusual in those days for youngsters like myself to put on my swimming trunks among naked and semi-naked women. No one paid attention to me.

I get a few urban legend emails every week from readers who wish for me to comment or blog on the matter. Almost every item can easily be validated as an Internet hoax, rumor, or urban myth by checking with the various debunking websites such as Snopes.com and urbanlegends.about.com. But those who forward these emails do not want the letter exposed as an urban legend, they want to believe it to be true.

I spend a few hours every day updating my archived posts. I get a number of emails every week pointing out links that have died, or blogs that have closed shop, or spelling mistakes although that doesn't happen too often. Sometimes new information requires that I update older articles.

You enter this blog at your own risk, because it will show you a country where up is down and left is right. It is not a made-up nation in a story book, but one that you are living in presently. We will show you your future; not a future that must happen, but one that might.

When I first started blogging three years ago I wrote that my purpose in blogging was to write about the same things that interest me in real life, which is to say, everything. But that only explained the what. I didn't mention the why. There are actually three reasons why I blog: the first is to leave a permanent record of the contents of my mind for my children and grandchildren. I expect this to take the next ten years to do.

Firing employees is never easy even if they are embezzling, stealing, or being violent or abusive toward your employees or customers. Sometimes, even if it seems you should fire someone, it may not be the wise business decision. Let me explain:

I get one or two emails, sometimes a half-dozen, a day complaining about my blog. I answer them all and I must admit that I have assembled a collection of canned responses to them. However I have become quite bored cutting and pasting the same old replies to the same repeated whines and so I thought that I should make one one post with all the possible answers to my emails.

My readers often challenge me in emails. There are hundreds of websites that have already published this particular challenge, but reader B.W. knows I like to add my particular twist to these types of Internet puzzles.

So I get this silly email that asks me if I can spot Santa with his reindeer, and especially Rudolph the Red-nosed in the image above. Click on photo for larger, more detailed view. OK, I looked at it -I don't get it. I don't see Santa or any of his reindeer and certainly I don't see Rudolph with his nose so bright. I hate it when readers send me these types of fake photos allegedly with hidden items in them.

An avid reader of my blog, B.W. is on some master email list and gets almost every possible item circulating on the Internet. So he sent me the following email and asked me to check on it. I know what you are thinking, he can simply go to Snopes and see whether the facts stated in the email are true or not; however, B.W. doesn't simply want a true or false answer, he likes detail and he knows that I rarely give a simple answer, that I like to give good detail.

Well dear readers, it has been one helluva ride but the time has come to move on and do what's right. This may be my last post for some time. This will come as a shock to some of you, but I have made the decision to leave home for a complete year effective this Saturday, 13 Dec 2008. You all know what I think about illegal immigrants and Obama winning the election.
