Night Funny

A great musician can bring tears to a person's eyes.

But, then again, so can an auto mechanic!

Three Hour Marathon

Having just spent 3 hours on the phone to tech support for a security update that failed to load in its automatic download and sent my computer on a mystical journey enter the ether of cyberspace, I am numb except for the static echoing in my head.

But you just got to love your security on your computer when it doesn't allow itself to update itself.

Now, if it would only keep out the viruses, spyware, malware, adware and pop-ups it allows, all will be right in the cosmos.

Communing with the Gods.

Screwy Hoolie from "Scrutiny Hooligans" found my blog and asked if I was in the Asheville area.

Sorry, no I am communing with the Gods in the Lake Norman area, just a wee bit further east.

But not to worry, I do have relatives in the Haw Creek area of Asheville and several friends there.

Also, we spend a lot of time in the area and being on the blogroll in Asheville would be ok with me.

You knew it was going to happen ...

Who says CRIME doesn't pay!?!

You knew it was going to happen.
Today without comment the shrub commuted the prison sentence of his buddy I. "Scooter" Lewis Libby, thusly assuring the convicted felon will not spend any time behind bars.

And, that 250K fine levied upon Libby is going to be paid by funds raised through the 'crony' network, so he doesn't have to pay even that!

So, when do you think the pardon will come?
January 19, 2009!

Morning Funny

Railroad timetables are SO precise
that they tell you that you'll arrive in St Louis at exactly 10:23 A.M.

(Give or take a few days)!

Can't Possibly Be True!

This is the first in what will be an ongoing series of stories that Can't Possibly Be True but in fact are.

Hall of Fame Lawyer

Keneth Glenn Hinson, 48, who had served time for raping a 12-year-old, girl was arrested last year after two teenage girls reported that they had been kidnapped from their bedroom and dragged into a tiny dungeon-like hole in Hinson's backyard, bound with duct tape and raped repeatedly.

Despite the evidence Hinson's defense lawyer Rick Hoefer managed to convince a jury in Darlington, South Carolina, to find Hinson Not Guilty on all charges this past April (based on the girls' inconsistent testimony).

Hinson remains in jail today only on an unrelated gun charge!

What is this world coming to?

What is this world coming to?

The relatively recent creation of almost-obscene wealth among the 'noveau riche' had precipitated a crisis in Britain and New York City because the resulting demand for professional butlers far exceeds the current supply.
Longstanding butler schools in both countries are running at capacity, turning out debonair, refined manservants at salaries that may exceed $100,000 (plus in the U.S., and extra $20,000 or so for one that who speaks "British"), but fortunes are being created at an even faster pace, so that, increasingly, multi-millionaires are just having to do without one, according to recent reports in the Wall Street Journal and The Independent of London.

I mean, what is this world coming to when you can't get a good butler when you want one?!?!

Good Night.

See You Tomorrow!
