Runway of Death

Recent New York Fashion show touted skinny models while Italy & Spain seek to ban them - and I agree.

The swimsuit model on the left is decidely too thin, but on the right is the exact image for which Karl Lagerfeld designs, and for which our model on the left diets.













No disrespect intended toward victims of the Holocaust; it's simply amazing how we have a whole industry dedicated to commemorating a physique that shocked the world only 70 years ago.

State of the Union

The State of the Union is as never before! Here we see the President and House Speaker settle their differences by arm wrestling. Note GW using an unsportsman-like leverage move.

Run Hillary Run!

Hillary has decided she can do more for America by returning Bill Clinton to the White House.

Her website gives you the opportunity to post and be selected to be the first post for her blog. Is that like winning and election and having the US Supreme Court decide who came in first?

America Destroyed from Within?

Who was the originator of that prognostication?
Was it Lincoln?

It seems less important to educate our children on what our school holidays mean. Who cares what Veterans day is about, or Thanksgiving. It's all irrelevant to the IPod generation anyway. Or is it irrelevant to our legislators and school administrators?

Regardless of their decisions, I'm sure Chavez & King day explanations will be legally bound!

This weekend I went to Home Depot and was helped by a interesting young man who did a tour in Iraq. In my haste I thanked him for his time, but forgot to thank him for his service! It's been on my mind several times - I need to go back and thank him for serving in Iraq!

Favorite Pet!

As smart as Condi is, you have to wonder, is she using her intellect to defend Bush's policy or her loyalty to him? Clear vision - clouded mind!

Media Alignment

I found this cartoon to be a hoot, certainly better artwork than the Pelosi (Miss Kitty) hackjob below:

The House now has its Madame

Congress is no longer just a house, but a whorehouse - now that it has its first madame -Miss Kitty, I mean Ms. Pelosi!

Rather than a swearing in session with a bible or quran, it should look more like an auction: "And for this fine representative, we'll start the bidding at...."

Am I the first to call congress a whorehouse? No!
Do I think Democrats more corrupt than Republicans? No!

But the fact that the house now has a madame is just icing on the cake!

Opportunity Lost!!

I just returned from a very exciting Christmas adventure in Mexico and initially thought I'd expound on some issue or another, but I realized it was more important to describe my missed opportunity. Since I've been on the lazy man's program to learn Spanish - 25 years so far - I missed a genuine opportunity to listen to the ideas of two wonderful people who opened their home to me for Christmas dinner. And what a dinner it was! My hosts, a charming couple, are both specialists from a university. He a professor of Political Science, she a professor in Economics.
If only I could have forseen the honor of being in their home - perhaps I would have learned Spanish more earnestly.

RIP: Gerald Ford, James Brown, Valentin Elizalde, and Rebecca.
