WHAT A WEEK

MEANINGLESS FACT - A woman's heart beats faster than a man's! Frankly, who cares?

Why is there a light in the refrigerator and not in the freezer

THE WEEK THAT WAS
People come and people go, but this week three very familiar names left for good.
ED MC MAHON - I remember Ed when he did local TV work in Philadelphia. In those days, Ed and the late Ernie Kovacs and "Uncle Pete Boyle" appeared on the old black and white 12" screen and brought sunshine to the day.
Ed went on to gain fame with Johnny Carson before falling on hard times. Ed led the perfect life and earned it.
FARRAH FAWCETT - Beautiful, talented and seldom controversial. She played the weakest (typical blond) on Charlie's Angels. Farrah brought warmth and charm to all of her professional endeavors. The world could use more people like her.
MICHAEL JACKSON - Maybe the greatest entertainer of our times, bar none! I recall taking my then 8 year old daughter to see The Jackson's at the Silver Dome in Pontiac Michigan. As we entered this massive facility all that I could see were youngsters, dressed like Michael down to his signature white glove, hair curled and all. What I saw was 'a rock and roll model".
Michael's life took numerous dramatic turns, health, physical appearance, law suits, financial disaster. I will not look back to the foibles that he was accused of. Rather I choose to remember the tremendous talent who "tripped the light fantastic" that night in Pontiac Michigan.
CAP AND TRADE
Since returning to this site, I have chosen to avoid the present political, economic and foreign affairs positions that the US finds itself in. However the most recent attempt to pick the pockets of all Americans must be addressed.
CAP AND TRADE - Under the guise of working towards a green world, to stop global warming (if there is global warming) and reduce our reliance on foreign oil. The present administration is attempting to enact the largest tax increase in history.
This bill is 1300+ pages in size (has no pictures) and is impossible to understand. What we do know is, ALL means of energy will be taxed, end of story. Rich poor, Caucasian, Negro, Asian, Hispanic, legally in the country or not, old or young, employed, unemployed or retired, man or woman. WE WILL ALL PAY TO USE ELECTRICITY, FUEL ETAL.
Manufacturers will be forced to pass the costs on to their customers, leave the country or close their doors. ENORMOUS INFLATION IS ON THE HORIZON
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING THE FLAGELLANTS BEING SPEWED BY THIS ADMINISTRATION UNDER THE GUISE OF "HELPING US". If they want to help us, I suggest that they leave us the He_ _ alone!
Have a great week end.
