captains supplimental log for today

Haiti - ganga man. had one helluva earthquake. Some are saying a 7 on the shake rattle and roll scale. (Californians are shrugging their shoulders . . .) I am sorry that this happened. But, it will ease some of the pressure on Obama for the moment. The health care bill, terrorStans, deficit and more job losses. Guy does need a break and this Haitian thing will help divert attention of the news media.

news, palin

Gee - what a surprise that Sarah has opted to join Fox News. This may disenfranchise her bid for 2012, but will certainly put her in the spotlight of the voice of the conservative GOP. I think that she should have stayed in office in Alaska and petitioned congress for a great wall between her and the nasty Russian lands she can see from her house. Would sort of be like the Mexican fence with all the money thrown at it. I think that her influence for the 2012 elections may be minimal as she continues to be a cartoon.

today, news, freeze, terrorism

Seems the strawberries are getting ready to automatically become ready for ice cream with the cold weather messing with Florida. Not much news of note today - usual stuff about Gitmo - should we or shouldn't we get rid of it as the guys who have been released gravitate back to their terrorist orgs and start bombing. Hmmm sitting in a cell (bad) with good kosher food (yeah its Kosher, no kidding, no pig parts, etc.), or going back to get a bomb vest strapped on and bet on the virgins . . . That seems to be rather degrading to young ladies, but I digress. The Danish guy who drew the face of Muhammad turned 81, Elvis' 75th (on the 8th), and national undies on the the subway???, are the biggies of today. I'm still looking for my beshert, but that's another blog. California did get a little rock and roll at 6.5 on the mosh scale. Wonder if that is because Leno is being axed at 10 and will go to a half hour show (at $30 mil an year). Another insensitive remark about Obama seems he don' be talkin' black nuf. But, he will be remembered in his library as having something other than picture books on the shelves. You, know, like: Fun with Dick and Watergate; Ford stumbled here; Bill dropped his shorts - the sequel: and, W lost his place - sounding out the first word.

News terrorists

Seems that terrorists have blasted back in the headlines. AlQuaeda, taliban, misc crazies around the world are all testing to determine where John Q Public will become afraid. We have reacted with racial profiling, planning full body scanning (wonder if women will get a free mammogram?) and other security stuff. He'll, why not hire the folks at ElAl to handle the issue? They have extremely safe airlines. As for the bombers, they all seem to be small time idealists - crazy idealists. Like McVey, unibomber and Mrs Snow my 3rd grade teacher. When something happens the big BinLadens take the credit pontificate and wait in some Pakistani cave for the next event. Hmmm.

Today - not a day of infamy (sorry news junkies). Seems the top issue falls in the 'where is the kid?' Mom gave him away or caretakers with possibly phoney custody papers have him hidden, and what about the indignant dad? Sigh. Irani folks protesting get clobbered by riot cops. Biden's mom died. I worry about folks that overrate the news stories and personalize them as if they are actually involved somehow. Chaos theory says that everything (actions) are somehow interrelated. Is this the reason for the high interest. Do our brains actually make the coonection? Beats me.

I am looking forward to this year to be great. (Hpoe springs eternal???) heard that the VFOP (volunteers for oranges preservation) are knitting little booties to keep theIr Florida navels warm in the current cold snap - take that global warming! Anyway looks like one more surgery on my ankle and I can be a contestant in Dancing With The Stars! Trying to get a new approach to my blog for 2010. Something focused. 
 

new blog thoughts

I have been off line trying to think of a new direction for my blog. Any ideas?
