Sometimes I feel a bit OCD with food. I get that same way with blogs and internet news sites. I can't stop going from link to link in search of interesting tid bits. That, of course, often makes it difficult to pick a single topic for a nightly blog. I am not creative enough to run from topic to topic with quips and comments on each. Well, a planned divergence of topics that is; I can scatter my thoughts and digress with ease. Tonight has proven particularly difficult as there are a few stories worthy of comment though none are expansive enough for 500-1000 words. That, and Mrs. Bald Man is ready to watch NCIS, our current obsessive practice, on Fancast.com. You might have to follow the links for some of the comments to make sense. Others have no chance of making sense no matter what you do.
The flu formerly known as swine continues to make headlines for reasons even less understandable than the daily analysis of Lindsay Lohan's lesbian love life. A United Airlines flight from Munich to Washington (no mention of DC or state was made in the article) was diverted to Logan International after a female passenger complained of flu-like symptoms. Odds are it was the extra serving of schnitzel she swiped from the Aryan descendant sleeping in the exit row across from her. Claims were made that the crew felt she needed immediate medical attention and they feared the safety of the other 245 passengers on board. Folks, this is not Ebola we are dealing with; it is a flu bug! Please get a grip. Hundreds of schools are being shut down across the country depriving our kids of an education. There were more gang members arrested in a raid in San Diego than have the flu in the entire country of Australia. Perhaps we should shut down places where gang members congregate instead of schools. Oh wait....
Hudson River Emergency Landing
Evidence continues to mount that the Global Warming scare Al Gore is so fond of is nothing but crap. Sure, the chubby former VP with the huge personal carbon footprint carries around a list of 2000 "scientists" who ascribe to this theory. I wonder how many of these guys signed that list.
As the Global Climate change fanatics continue their march toward power through intimidation and shame, I am surprised that I am, for once, on the cutting edge. Mrs. Bald Man and I have killed all our grass, on purpose this year, and are Xeriscaping our front yard. Who'd have thought I would be the first in my neighborhood to remove a sign of moral decadence?
Blake Benson, a 17 year old Denver area high school student, won't be facing charges for the NOBAMA T-shirt incident. It seems Mr. Benson wore the shirt and carried a sign supporting then candidate John McCain at a rally where the now fashionably dressed First Lady Michelle Obama was appearing. In a move that gives lottery ticket buyers across the country hope in beating the odds, the ACLU actually defended the young Republican. What the story doesn't focus on but should is "why the hell was this kid arrested in the first place?" Maybe he had on the wrong shoes.
Finally, in the I got mine category, the First African American First Lady made a bit of a social faux pas when she showed up to speak to the huddled masses at a Washington, DC food bank wearing $540 shoes. The comfy, very high end sneakers seemed a bit out of place on the stage at eye level before the crowd of camera phone carrying poor people. I wonder if Bo the dog will get a chance to chew on those?
Tomorrow is the final binge before the natural purge. See you Monday.
