Going To Need Al Jazeera Someday

One day terrorists are going to destroy a bunch of buildings somewhere in the U.S. and kill a whole bunch of us and, if it happens on a day like today, we will have to tune to Al Jazeera to find out what happened.

Have I lost it? Not really. Think back to what u saw on the news today, if u were unfortunate enough to have watched the news today. I was in the gym again. I sort of had no choice.

Today was Eliot Spitzer Day. There was nothing on the news in the gym except Eliot & Company...

  • How much did he spend?
  • How often did he do this sort of thing?
  • How does this compare to the escapades of one Bill Clinton?
  • Will his lost Super Delegate Vote cost Hillary the nomination?
  • Where did he get the money?
  • How was he found out?
  • What does his wife think?
  • Did you see how his wife bolted out of the SUV when they returned to their place of residence after the resignation news conference?
  • Some say, "No big deal".
  • Some say, "Big deal".
  • Will he be prosecuted?
  • Has he committed any prosecutable offenses?
  • What prosecutable offenses has he committed?
  • Why does his wife stand by him when he makes public appearances?
  • Did his wife really tell him not to resign?
  • Why did he resign so quickly?
  • Is he being singled out because he is such a nasty guy?
  • Why is he such a nasty guy?
  • Etc.
  • Etc.
  • Etc.

Fox News had about 22 seconds of film coverage of Spitzer's comings and goings today. Fox News showed those 22 seconds of film footage over and over and over and over.

Heck, this might be one of those days like ... Everyone knows where they were when they heard Kennedy was shot.
Now we will have ... Everyone knows where he or she was when he or she heard about Former Governor Eliot Spitzer's Transgressions.

Dare I say this is going be known as SpitzerGate?
Would I kid u?

Carbon Credits & Beyond

I normally create my own Foolishness but this idea came to me on a radio talk show. Only the idea came to me. I have expanded the heck out of it. You might say I Foolished It Up.
We have all seen people who preach conservation but have a gigantic house, travel by private jet, own several big gas guzzling SUVs BUT portend that is not a problem because they have "Carbon Credits".
The person to whom they say this to says, "Oh, I understand". That person then goes home and says to their Spouse, Significant Other, Partner or whatever, "What's a Carbon Credit?"
If the person they are living with is Mr. Webster he informs them...
