Friday Very Quickies

No time, no time, but.....

....In the interests of fairness, given that I think that Murtha owes me money (see yesterday's post), then most assuredly Alaska's Republican Senator Ted Stevens owes me for that asinine bridge to nowhere he shoved through for the Alaska island with about 40 people on it. At $223 million, that's $.74 per person, or $2.96 that he owes me and mine.

.....And, by the way, my math stinks. Murtha-the-crook only owes me about a penny. I'll just take it off my taxes next year, save him the postage.

....Hearing all this green talk lately, Live Earth, etc. How delicious would it be if we eventually found out that global warming is caused by the flatulence of whales, manatees and baby seals, and that the only sure way to save the Earth is with a club?

.... Harry Potter comes out tomorrow and I know that my house is in a buzz waiting for it. Daughter-the-elder will read it first (probably by Sunday) then I'll grab it. Our biggest problem will be keeping Daughter-the-younger from reading the last chapter and spoiling it for us.

Yes, she can be that twisted. Comes from her mother's side of the family, I do believe.

...And now a quote from the great Theodore Roosevelt:

"This country has nothing to fear from the crooked man who fails. We put him in jail. It is the crooked man who succeeds who is a threat to this country."
