<p>*Am I the only one that finds it mildly ironic that Ted &#8220;Chappaquiddick&#8221; Kennedy<br />
gave the Obama&#8217;s a Portuguese Water Dog?<br />
Kennedy supposedly owns three.<br />
Where were they when he needed them?<br />
Wwwwwwoof.</p>
<p>*Here in the US of A we give free needles to junkies and<br />
charge diabetes patients up the wazoo for the same damn needles.<br />
Huh?<br />
Someone pinch me.<br />
I must be dreaming.</p>
<p>*In Massachusetts, I saw a headline today that read &#8211; <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br />
Study: Tobacco funds not curbing smoking</strong></span><br />
Turns out that only $13.5 million of the annual $700 million the Baystate receives<br />
was used for smoking cessation programs.<br />
Well, yank my doodle, it&#8217;s a dandy.<br />
You gotta be kidding me.<br />
Where&#8217;s Nancy &#8216;MadDog&#8217; Lugosi?</p>
<p><img src="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h190/Morphthecat/nancy_pelosi.gif" alt="" width="166" height="234" /><br />
I mean Pelosi.<br />
She&#8217;s gotta have a hand in this somehow.<br />
What an ugly woman, inside and out.<br />
And those choppers . . .<br />
Nancy needs to be promoted to &#8216;Subterranean Truffle Inspector&#8217; tomorrow.<br />
Beech.</p>
<p>*The groundbreaking and intellectually provocative Hannah Montana movie hit theaters over the Easter weekend grossing over 34 million dollars.<br />
For your entertainment &#8216;bang for the buck&#8217; wouldn&#8217;t staying home watching the grass grow be a bit more stimulating?<br />
It&#8217;s probably me . . .</p>
<p>*Tiger Woods lost in the final round of the Masters yesterday due to a pair of late bogies.<br />
Why does this not make me feel bad?<br />
I must be a rotten human being.</p>
<p>*And lastly, I thought Gmail&#8217;s *new feature &#8216;Auto-Pilot&#8217; sounded really cool.<br />
But it was only available on April Fool&#8217;s Day. {sigh}</p>
<p>Just my mind at play folks . . .</p>

<p>Research has led to the    discovery of one of the heaviest elements yet known to science.<br />
The new element,    Governmentium (Gv), has one neuron, 25 assistant neurons, 88 deputy neurons    and 198 assistant deputy neurons, giving it an atomic mass of    312.<br />
These    312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded    by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.<br />
Since Governmentium has no electrons,    it is inert; however, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction    with which it comes into contact.<br />
A minute amount of    Governmentium can cause a reaction that normally takes less than a second to as long as 4 years to complete.<br />
Governmentium has a    normal half-life of 2-6 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a    reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neurons and deputy neurons    exchange places. In fact, Governmentium&#8217;s mass will actually increase over time,    since each reorganization causes more morons to become neurons, forming    isodopes.<br />
This    characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that    Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This    hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalyzed    with money, Governmentium    becomes Administratium, which has half as many peons but twice the number of    morons.<br />
Science is amazing sometimes,  isn&#8217;t it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone mentioned this video yesterday and I found it online tonight.<br />
Got several things to say.</p>
<p><strong> #1 </strong>- This guy (aka &#8220;rapping artist&#8221;) has his name right by <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Ludicrous" target="_blank">definition</a> but he spelled it wrong.<br />
<strong> #2</strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve seen steaming piles of horseshit that have more poetic prowess than this gasbag.<br />
<strong> #3</strong> &#8211; &#8220;Relevant&#8221; just doesn&#8217;t quite rhyme with &#8220;President&#8221;, IMHO. Sorry, Luda<br />
<strong> #4 </strong>- You even irritate Obama. (go figure)<br />
<strong> #5</strong> -<em> &#8220;So you get off your ass black people, it&#8217;s time to get out and vote!&#8221; &#8211; </em>Ludacris<em><br />
</em></p>
<p>You be the judge.</p>

<p>End of story.<br />
I rest my case.<br />
The moral of the post?<br />
Get Ray and Stevie to give you political musical props.<br />
You&#8217;ll do much better in the long run.<br />

<p>Just wanted to put up yet another &#8220;thank you&#8221; post for being so damn generous with your comments.<br />
I wanted to make my way around the &#8220;bloghorn&#8221; but will never do it all tonight.<br />
I&#8217;m only human.</p>
<p>A few notes of interest, if you look to my side bar you will see a little jpeg of Joe Jackson (musician).<br />
If you click it, it will open Adobe Reader on your computer (<i>assuming you have it installed</i>), and download his essay as a .pdf file.<br />
I don&#8217;t comment much about smoking on the blog but I feel Jackson&#8217;s essay should be read by smokers and non-smokers alike.<br />
I think it&#8217;s absolutely brilliant.<br />
You may feel differently.<br />
I&#8217;m not going to address my stance on smoking right now.<br />
Just know that I smoke.<br />
And I enjoy it.<br />
And I pay exorbitant and unscrupulous taxes because of my habit (which is absolute bullshit).<br />
To the US  government, tax something else for a change, for cripes sake.<br />
Just imagine if the government started taxing Budweiser and Happy Meals the way they tax tobacco these days.<br />
Would people be a bit angry?<br />
Think about it.<br />
Click on the philosopher above to visit Jackson&#8217;s website.<br />
There&#8217;s some great stuff to be found there.</p>
<p>And now for something completely different;</p>
<p>Last week, I woke up in the middle of the night after falling asleep early and came downstairs to the sound of &#8216;beep-beep-beep-beep&#8217;.<br />
My wife was laying on the couch pointing the cordless phone at the TV and pressing the &#8220;call button&#8221; on and off.</p>
<p>&#8220;What are you doing?&#8221; I asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Trying to turn this friggin&#8217; thing down,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t do that with the phone, dear, &#8221; I said, as I took the phone out of her hand, turned off the TV and guided her upstairs to bed.<br />
Ah, sleepyheads can be funny sometimes.<br />
I think she may have called China a few times though.<br />
Check out the Jackson video below.<br />
Classic Joe.</p>
