Senator Foghorn Leghorn Is Really Angry And He’s Not The Only One

This angry exchange just took place on the floor of the Senate…

Ø Senator Leghorn: “What the hell is going on here! I’ve been lied to for the whole time I have been in this here Senate!”

Ø The Guy with the Hammer Who Just Had His Facebooking Interrupted by Senator Leghorn’s Outburst: “Senator, this is the foremost deliberative body in the world and we do not allow the use of words like “hell” while we are engaged in foremost deliberating!”

Ø Senator Leghorn: “I apologize, your honor, but this is outrageous! From the first day I had the high honor of walking into this hallowed chamber, I have been told that the Road Was Endless. I was assured that I did not need to worry about Kicking the Can Down the Road because the road was never ending. All I had to do was to keep kicking and one day pigeons would be pooping on my statue. Now, my Ivy League Educated Pompous Aide just told me that someday we are going to have to take action on at least a couple of kicked down stuff like…Debt Limit, DACA, North Korea, Tax Reform, Obamacare, Crumbling Infrastructure, ISIS, Hurricane Disaster Relief, NAFTA, that Iran Deal (whatever that’s about), Balance of Payments, Inflation, Military Preparedness, Venezuela, Low Interest Rates, High Interest Rates, etc.”

Ø The Guy with the Hammer Who Just Had His Facebooking Interrupted by Senator Leghorn’s Outburst: “Calm down, Senator, it’s Football Season. The folks back home are paying us no never mind. Once Football Season is over it will be Basketball Playoffs. Then we just have to make it through a few months where we have to act like we are doing something about something. Then it will be Football Season and the cycle repeats itself. Relax, pigeons will be pooping on your statue before you know it. So you see, my good friend, The Road is Endless.”

Bedeviling Is Easy

On the front page of the 9/5/17 USA Today is this headline…

DACA Could Bedevil Congress

I thought this was amusing and my silly mind started thinking about other things that could Bedevil Congress. I was covered up by a virtual avalanche of things that could send our 9% Approval Rated Congress into a tizzy. …

Ø Oh my gosh! We are back from Recess (aks: Home Work Period, Vacation, Time Off, Kick the Can Down the Road Practice Breaks)! What do we do now?

Ø Quick someone help me out here! That nosey reporter just asked me which state I represent. I’ve been here so long I can’t remember.

Ø What's this Quorum Thing we keep talking about?

Ø What do you mean I have to cast a vote today? I don’t have time now. I’m very busy updating my Facebook Page about what I had for lunch.

Ø No I will not be able to make a speech on the floor this afternoon. I have set aside time to work on that special project President Reagan gave to me a while back. I have a feeling he is going to be looking me up and asking what my conclusions are any day now. He’s not known to be a patient man, you know.

Ø What do you mean Martha’s Vineyard is not my State? I have been going there for 23 years on my Recess, Home Work Period, Vacation, Time Off and my Kick the Can Down the Road Practice Breaks. They really seem to like me there. Now I know why they always say to me, “Senator, I’d vote for you, if I could.” Next thing you will try and tell me is that Martha’s Vineyard is not even a State at all.

I could go on and on but I think you get my drift.

It’s Not That I Don’t Trust My Fellow Man, It’s Just That My Fellow Man Keeps Stealing From Me

If you are a Buckster (one who frequents Starbucks), you may not care to read this Blog Posting because you just don’t care about Starbucks or anything having to do with Starbucks but think before you delete because this Blog Posting is not really about Starbucks.

 

If you think that Your Fellow Man is honest as the day is long, you might be well advised to read this Blog Posting because that hand in your pocket may not be yours.

 

Starbucks has a Rewards Program (doesn’t everybody?) for their frequent customers. If you are a Buckster and you spend a fortune in their stores, Mr. Starbuck will see to it that you get a small something worth a small something to keep you coming back to spend another fortune.

 

This Foolishness…Or Is It? is actually about the lengths your fellow man will go to to become eligible for a small something worth a small something at the Starbucks Store of his choice.

 

Here is where the plot thickens…

Costco sells Starbucks French Roast Beans in 2.5 pound bags.

 

On these bags is a Peel-Off Sticker with a code that you can transmit to Starbucks and receive 20 Points toward a small something worth a small something.

 

Being sly, cunning and alert I have taken note (remember I am a Noticer) that my fellow man has started pulling off the Stickers of the displayed bags of Starbucks Beans that are waiting for me to come to buy them and get my Rewards Sticker.

 

Maybe this is a shortcoming of mine but I never would have thought of doing something like this.

 

I wonder if there were a display in Costco’s with a pad of pull-off coupons with a sign that read, “Take a coupon (please take only one coupon) and bring to that unsavory looking big guy just outside the store entrance. His name is Mongo. Present your coupon to Mongo and he will hall off and punch you right in your nose as hard as he can.”

 

I would be willing to bet that some of my Fellow Men would take more than one coupon just because they could not help taking more than one coupon.

Question: “What Exactly Is It That You Are, Little Fella?” Response: “I’m A Despised And Feared Peanut.”

Being a Peanut used to be a wonderful thing. You were sought after for taste and nutrition. You got to sponsor TV Shows like Hopalong Cassidy. Howdy Doody had a special place for you on his show and children were thrilled to sit in The Peanut Gallery and make silly faces and wave at the camera.

 

That was then and this is now and now is tough on the Lowly Despised and Feared Peanut…

·       Airlines are afraid to serve peanuts because passengers might eat them, get sick and sue the airline or not get sick and still sue the airline for exposing them to Second-Hand Peanut Breath emitted by the peanut eating flyers.

·       Grocery store shoppers have sued grocers for having had to walk through aisles where peanuts are displayed. Testimony was given in court like this, “It was horrifying! I was texting my way through the aisle where the uncaring grocer had displayed peanuts in plain view for all to be exposed to and all of a sudden there they were … Peanuts! I was extremely offended and I actually felt threatened!”

·       (I did not make this one up.) My local Minor League Baseball Team (Gwinnett Braves) is having a Peanut Free Game. The promo goes like this…for one game we will create an environment where our fans with peanut allergies can come to the ballpark and enjoy a game to its fullest.

·       WhatDoYaWannaBet we will soon be seeing demonstrations to ban peanuts from all games? The proof of the Gwinnett Braves evil intent will be the fact that the team admitted to the hazards presented by Peanuts by having a Peanut Free Game.

 

It is awful! About the only “good” thing that comes out of all this is that a whole bunch of Lawyers got a whole bunch of new Lexus’.

 

Footnote to History: Most people think Jimmy Carter walked in his Inaugural Day Parade because he wanted to walk. Actually, his Peanut Mobile had not broken down, so he had to walk.

Accused: I’m Innocent Because I Did Not Do That Bad Thing! Response: Why Do You Think Not Doing That Bad Thing Means You Are Not Guilty Of Having Done That Bad Thing?

I am going to digress before I even get started on this Foolishness because I recently heard the Above Subject’s Craziness put forth as part of an otherwise Controlled and Sane Discussion on my TV.

 

My TV actually apologized to me when the Otherwise Controlled and Sane Discussion was finished. This is the first time my TV Apologized to me. The way things are going recently, I expect I will be apologized to by my TV repeatedly in the future.

 

The Otherwise Controlled and Sane Discussion participant actually said that an alive today grandson of Robert E. Lee should be held accountable for what his Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandpa Robert E. did.

 

This will become known in the Judicial Proceedings of the Future as… Guilty At Birth or Innocent Until Proven Born.

 

As long as there are such Otherwise Controlled and Sane Discussions on my TV, I will have no need to make things up for this Blog.

 

I am now done digressing.

As most of you know by now, ESPN has removed an Asian Football Announcer from the broadcast of the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game because his name was Robert Lee.

 

This thorny issue is addressed very nicely in an article at the following link… https://www.outkickthecoverage.com/msespn-pulls-asian-announcer-named-robert-lee-off-uva-game-avoid-offending-idiots/

 

My favorite part of the article is the words above the picture of the Offending Robert and his Co-Announcer…

“But just to make it clear for everyone out there, the Asian man on the right is not long deceased Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He’s a different person entirely, one that is still alive and did not fight in the Civil War”.

 

That ought to do it…Or will it?

 

My honest opinion is this Offending Robert ought to have been banned from the broadcast because of his haircut.

 

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: In order to err on the side of caution in an attempt to prevent this type of controversy in the future, I think we ought to ban the immigration of all Asians with the last name “Lee”. No one could possibly argue with this logic…Or could some one?

No Place To Go

The following statement has just been issued by a spokesman for Pigeons Are People Too...

 

”The removal of so many Confederate Statues is greatly reducing pooping locations for the pigeons of the Good Ole USofA.

As you well know pigeons are creatures of habit. For more than a hundred years pigeons have been pooping on the plethora of Confederate Statues that have dotted the Fruited Plain.

This recent onslaught of removals has caught our pigeons off guard. They have no place to go.

We have constipated pigeons everywhere and I can assure you, while you may think this is funny, the pigeons aren't laughing.”

Slippin And A Sliding

We can’t depend on lots of thing we used to be able to depend on but the Slippery Slope will always be with us. Another Subject for this Foolishness could easily have been…

Cussing, Cursing and Bad Words Amok

Have you noticed that people Americans admire have started using foul language in their Music, in their Speeches, in their Movies and now in their News Comments?

 

It probably started with Rhett Butler when he said to Scarlett O’Hara, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn”. I immediately thought, “Yea, way to go Rhett, she deserves a cuss word or two!”

 

As I thought that, I was still shocked that he had said that for the whole world to hear, especially the children (me) of the Good Ole USofA to hear. I thought to my little self that Rhett might just have put us all on a Slippery Slope and I thought right.

 

Over the years we have been slipping and sliding but recently the slope seems to have gotten steeper and more slippery because politicians have started jumping on the slope

“You come here right now! I’m going to wash your mouth out with soap. I’ll teach you to not use nasty words like that!”

There Is A Guy Who Became Famous, Honored And Admired For Publishing One Of The Most Used Useless Directives In The History Of Computing

For years many of us have been adhering to this Directive as the “best” method of developing and managing our passwords. We now know we have been wasting our time.

 

We were told the way to protect our accounts was to invent awkward new words rife with obscure characters, capital letters and numbers—and to change them regularly.

 

Most people found this too confusing to be practical but many of us tried our best to do it because we were told by people a lot smarter than we were that this was not just the best way to protect our important computer stuff but it was the only proven way to protect our important computer stuff.

 

Some of us ignored this Proven and Secure way like that guy in the Federal Government who used “Password” as his Password. I would hope that not too many of us were as silly as this guy but I would not bet on it.

 

Others of us tried to do what the Smarter Than Us People told us we had to do. We even persevered after several of the true adherents to the process were reported to have been hauled off to the Funny Farm in Straight Jackets.

 

A good example of what kind of word would come out of creating a password with Awkward Letters Rife with Obscure Characters and Capital Letters and Numbers (and change them often) is shown below…

Tr0ub4dor&3

Now there is a Password that will frustrate Snidley Hacker and send him to the Funny Farm if ever there was one!...Or will it?

 

Sadly, we now know that this Bullet Proof Password could be cracked by Snidley in 3 Days.

 

Ole Snidley has gotten very good at golf because he found he had a lot of time on his hands so he has been spending a lot of time on the links.

 

Is there a better way?

Ø Is there a way that does not need Awkward Letters?

Ø Is there a way that does not have to have Obscure Characters?

Ø Is there a way that does not need to have a mixture of Capital and Lower-Case Letters?

Ø Is there a way that does not need to have Numbers thrown in where you can’t remember where you threw them in?

Ø Is there a way that does not require you to change your password as soon as you finally get to the point where you can remember it?

Ø Is there a way that does not require you to have a different unable-to-be-remembered password for every account?

 

My Dear Reader, the answer is yes. You can now have a single password for all accounts. It will take a little longer to type out and about 60 seconds to memorize but it will keep you from having to order Funny Farm, USA return address stickers for your snail mail.

 

Are you ready? Here it is…

Your Password Should Be Made Up Of 4 Unrelated Words Typed Out As One Big Word

An example would be “correct horse battery staple” typed out as “correcthorsebatterystaple”.

 

In case you have forgotten how long it would have taken Snidley to figure out your old “Tr0ub4dor&3” password, I’ll tell you again…

He could crack it in 3 days

 

If Snidley had a computer program that made 1,000 guesses a second, it would take him 550 Years to figure out that your “correcthorsebatterystaple” password was “correcthorsebatterystaple”.

 

Now you can take up golf but don’t look for Snidley out there because he is going to be busy for a long time to come.

Does God Tweet?

There I was standing in the middle of the road being the Proverbial Deer in the Headlights.

 

I looked right at Twitter, Tweets and Twits and said to the entire world (or at least the .0000000000000000000000000000001% of the world that reads my Foolishness), “Twitter, Tweets and Twits who Tweet are all Silly!”

 

It was then that Deer Me was run over by all things Twitter.

 

I remember when Twitter had just been invented, created, concocted, spit out or by whatever means it was thrust upon us. I looked at what was happening and I was put off by statements in the news like, “Twitter Nation Thinks…”.

 

I said in response, “How can all those people all over everywhere “think” as a group? Have they been elected to speak as one with a single voice? Did they get together in one gigantic room and debate, analyze and look at evidence in order to vote and be able to speak with their one gigantic voice?”

 

Imagine that all of Twitter Nation was made up of 3 Twits. Imagine further (stay with me on this) one was a Carpenter in Wichita, another was a Symphony Conductor in Budapest and the third one was Whale Fisherman shipping out of a port on the east coast of Siberia. Imagine (are you still with me?) one day they all Tweeted and 2 of the 3 said that Columbus was wrong and the world was obviously flat. Would it actually be flat because Twitter Nation said it was?

 

Magnify my Silly example to the point where there are 880 Million Twits. One day 51% of them say that Columbus was wrong and the world was obviously flat. Would it actually be flat because Twitter Nation said it was?

 

I’m sure I have made my point brilliantly but I am also sure a whole bunch of you just thought to your collective selves about the subject of this bit of Foolishness, “Does God Tweet?”

 

Please allow me to brilliantly explain that also…

Ø My newspaper just told me that things are going from worst to awfully worst in Venezuela.

Ø The Vatican’s Silence about what has been going on in Venezuela has been deafening until it recently issued a statement wherein the Vatican said it was expressing, “Profound Concern”.

Ø The Catholic Bishops of Venezuela felt this was far from an adequate and they decided to bypass the Pope and appeal directly to God Himself when they Tweeted a Prayer, “to free our homeland from the claws of communism and socialism”.

 

We are not in the habit of Praying to Politicians or to Athletes or to Movie Stars (although I am not so sure that this does not happen a lot more than we realize).

 

No, when we pray, We Pray To God.

 

Now do you see why the Subject of this Silliness is, “Does God Tweet?” It was because the communication medium used by the Venezuelan Bishops to pray to God was Twitter?

 

Venezuela has enough on their plate without me getting involved. I do wish them all the luck in the world with a few miracles thrown in but I sure hope God is not actually sitting on a cloud up in heaven Tweeting.

 

If he is, please tell me. I get on my knees a lot when I communicate with Him. My knees are not in the same shape as they were in years past. If lying on my back and Tweeting would work just as well, I’m ready to give it a try.

Union Officials Have Been Stealing Unbelievable amounts Of Money From The United Auto Workers Union And The Watch Dogs Were Not Watching

They have finally been caught but not before a major participant in the long running scheme had died. Since he is dead, I guess it can’t be said he was “caught”.

 

In bullet point format here are the kinds of things that were going on for many years…

Ø The guy who is dead teamed up with his bargaining-table opponent at Fiat Chrysler.

Ø Federal Officials say they and other conspirators skimmed millions from the UAW National Training Center, a tax-exempt, Fiat Chrysler-funded entity that was supposed to help union automotive workers get job training.

Ø Bought Limited Edition Gold Montblanc Pens.

Ø Bought a $350,000 Ferrari.

Ø Installed a Swimming Pool, Outdoor Kitchen and a Spa at one of the Union Official’s homes.

Ø Paid off a relative’s Student Loans.

Ø Spent $425,000 at a swag company owned by the wife of one of the Union Officials.

Ø $70,000 was funneled to a Union Boss’ Wife’s photography business.

Ø Paid for a Union Boss’ Wife’s first-class plane tickets.

Ø Paid for a Union Boss’ Wife’s $12,400 four-night stay at a Beverly Hills Hotel.

Ø A Union Boss paid off a $262,000 mortgage on a townhouse he and his wife owned.

 

The Feds say these scams ran for six and a half years before being uncovered.

 

Since 2001 at least 47 of the UAW’s members, including officials at several locals, have pleaded guilty to corruption and embezzlement charges.

 

A Union Official said of the scandal, “The UAW has zero tolerance for corruption or wrongdoing of this kind at any level.”

 

I guess this has to be called, Long Term and Ongoing Zero Tolerance.

Lagniappe: Can’t you just hear the Stealing Guys’ Lawyer saying in court, “Your Honor, I find it hard to believe the Prosecuting Attorney just said what he just said. He actually said he was against showing compassion for that impoverished former student who, through no fault of his own, was left burdened with all of those Student Loans. Paying off those loans was as caring an act generosity as I have ever seen. If my client had not stolen this money, he could never have helped his relative in this manner. Your Honor, I am a bit surprised that you even allowed such mean accusations into your courtroom. However, I am willing to forget this lapse on your part in the hope that we can move on to more serious issues like why it is absolutely necessary for Montblanc Pens to be carried by any Union Negotiator as he approaches the Negotiation Table.”

To Be Perfectly Honest With You, I Don’t Get That Excited About These Things.

Please don’t add a Comment to this Blog Posting telling me you can’t believe I took the time to waste my time to put this Silliness out.

 

Actually I am a little bit ashamed to let it be known that I actually took the time to make up this list of some of the Commemorative Days we are silly enough to “celebrate” in the Good Ole USofA.

 

However, because I did waste my time in this manner, I now know (and you are about to know) that almost every day of the year appears to be designated as a day to Commemorate Something Or Other. Almost all days commemorate more than one thing and many days go into double digits listings of the things that that particular day “Celebrates”.

Guy #2… “I must admit that I continue to be amazed at this whole process.”

Guy #1… “I’m beginning to get a very uneasy feeling that the public will stop paying attention to our designations.”

Guy #2… “What have you been smoking? Do you actually believe that anyone pays any attention to what we do? I would be willing to bet that we could designate a day honoring Specks of Dust and call it Speck of Dust Awareness Day and no one would ever know that we had declared such a day.”

Guy #2… “I can’t believe that we are paid to come up with these Silly Designations.”

Guy #1… “I must admit that I continue to be amazed at this whole process.”

 

Using January 2017 as a start I estimated that there are more than 1,300 Designated Celebration Days every year. (I counted up the number of days in January and multiplied by 12.) No, I did not take the time to count up the entire year. I was afraid you would think I was being silly.

Who Let The Dogs Out?

All of a sudden I am seeing dogs in places where dogs used to be not allowed. How do all these owners get the word all at the same time that Fido is now allowed to enter where Fidos used to fear to tread?

Ø 2 in Walmart on the same day.

Ø Inside a Hyatt Regency.

Ø Jogging around and around my High School Track with his Master in tow (Yea, I know we are not supposed to say “Master”).

Ø In a Starbucks where the dog’s owner thought it was funny when the dog stood up on its hind legs and licked the counter where they placed your purchased finish product (Yea, I know I’m not supposed to say “Owner”).

Ø 2 in Lowes on the same day.

Ø On a Tour Bus.

Ø A whole bunch in the Ritz Carlton (I’ve already blogged about them).

None of them had Service Jackets on.

Jimmy Olson To Perry White, “Which Headline Should I use?” Perry White To Jimmy Olson, “I’ve Told You A Thousand Times What Headline Configuration You Should Always Use! What’sTheMatterWithYou?”

Jimmy Olsen may be slow but you, my dear reader, are not…Or are you?

 

I’ll let you decide between the two headlines below. I have no doubt you will pick the one that CNN used…Or do I have doubt?

 

Headline #1:

MS-13 members: Trump makes the gang stronger.

Headline #2:

Nassau Police Official: We never ever ask immigration status of any victim or witness.

 

Can you guess which one CNN used? It’s Number 1, of course. Let’s let Perry White make it clear to you as he educates hapless Jimmy Olsen…

“Jimmy, we always want to lead with the dire outlook. The public needs to be kept on edge. We need them to worry. It’s good for the sale of our newspapers.”

MS-13 is awful. The major thrust of the article that started me on this tirade appears to be that the awful people in this gang are killing innocent people in very violent ways and are growing more powerful all the time.

 

Strangely enough, the article proposes that we should do nothing about them because doing something about them will make them stronger.

 

The thinking appears to be that, if we ignore them, they will continue to get more powerful and awful but they will get more powerful and awful at a slower pace.

 

You can read all about it or you can listen to the video. Whichever one you choose, you will see or hear this quote:

“I can say without any doubt ... we never, never ask any (immigration) status and we don't care, on victims and witnesses," said Detective Sgt. Michael Morino of Nassau County Police's gang investigation squad.”

 

Why is this not the Headline of this article? Why are we not telling Illegal Immigrants in the Headline (that’s all that many people read) that they should have no fear of deportation if they cooperate with the police?

 

Instead, we are told that everything is spiraling out of control and any attempt to do anything about it is hopeless because Witnesses and Victims are afraid to help the police protect them. It even implies they should be afraid of the police.

 

Since you may be thinking that I am kidding you, click on this link to the article and read all about it: http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/28/us/ms-13-gang-long-island-trump/index.html

Lagniappe: Starting at about 2:24 of the video there is shown a Crime Poster showing the faces of 18 MS-13 Members. This is good because they are letting the public know that it should be wary of these individuals who may harm them. Don’t get too excited about this “warning poster” because the faces of 18 MS-13 Members on the poster are smudged out so we can’t identify them. If you think I made this up, check the video out for yourself or just look at photo below.

One Banana Two Banana Three Banana Four

When I was a kid, I thought, if I ate those stringy things that hung on a banana after I peeled it, I Would Die.

 

Now my wife, who is always trying to find ways for me to live longer, has found out that the Banana Peel Itself Is Edible.

 

Not only won’t it kill you, it is actually good for you.

 

Next thing we know we will be told that, if we don’t eat the Banana Peels, We Will Experience A Premature Death and the next next thing we know they will be telling us that Eating Banana Peels just might be the secret to everlasting life.

 

While Banana Peels may make you live forever, there is no research that shows it has any effect on Old-Age Human Body Shrinkage. In the future we will forever be sitting around getting smaller and smaller while eating banana peels and looking more and more like raisins every day.

 

My mind’s eye (whatever that is) just pictured what I just described in the last paragraph. My advice to each of you is to start eating a whole lot of Unhealthy Foods and hopefully a nice quick heart attack will save you from becoming an Everlasting Raisin Person!
