He ministered to me to share my properties, wealth, to motherless baby/orphanage homes/people that need money for survivor, business woman and man for their investment and for future rising.

Therefore I am writing this letter to people who are really need help to contact me urgently. so that i can make available preparation on that.especially women of the day, who are divorced by their husband, why they cannot survive from feeding their self. please contact me and stop weeping.

Disappearing Journal Entries Posted at 23:00 EST
For whatever reason, the earlier posts in my original "Thoughts" journal have disappeared. Possibly bad links...possibly they were too old... possibly I just yak too much. I'll try to transfer the oldest one before adding a new one. But some have been lost forever.

It's a shame because I'm quite certain the missing writings were Pulitzer material. *g* But I guess the world will survive!

Thoughts on the Olympics Posted at 15:00 EST
I've tried VERY hard to "enjoy the Olympics." Really I did. But now that we are well into day eight-hundred twelve, it all just seems a bit too much. Every so many years, people around the world are asked to care deeply who has won a medal in a sport that, under ordinary circumstances, could not get coverage in a publication dedicated solely to "sports." Not even on the last page and below the fold. Things like curling. Cross-country skiing. The luge. At least the biathlon has guns. Weapons are always fun. (I do prefer the javelin throw, however, because it involves scantily clad young men with nice musculature. I'm still waiting for the javelin catching event. That would be more entertaining than ice hockey fights. The gold medals would always be posthumously awarded though.)

I do have a few comments that I'd like to share with the Olympic Committee and the Google folks:

(1) I've enjoyed the Google Olympic cartoons for the most part. But that ending cartoon looks like a Wraith and a romanticized Unas triumphing over Atlantis. What did they medal in? Killing humans? (It looks like the Unas won the medal for ice hockey. Although it might have been for lobbing mines at the Tauri. Hard to say.)

(2) Why do the "medals" given out this time look like plastic CDs with a thin plasti-metallic foil veneer? They're horrible.

(3) Why do the Olympics people insist that things like ice dancing is a "sport"? It is not. It might be a "competition" but it is NOT a "sport." Neither is figure skating, even if it’s a guy doing it and even if he does spindizzies in the air. (Neither is diving for that matter.)

(4) Watching cross-country skiing is as exciting as watching somebody on a Nordic Trak machine. This might be a "sport" in that it's a race of sorts. But its more boring than curling. And its hard to find something more boring than curling.

(5) Since the Olympics has so many stupid competitions, I'd like to propose tournament Jacks for the next Summer Games as a "featured event." I would be SO THERE! Sometime I screw up with my elevensies, but I think I could overcome that with enough work and a good coach. And a couple of million dollars in government funding of course.

Hopefully, we can return to regular television soon. The Tonight Show will be on when it's supposed to be. Conan's reruns will be on when they're supposed to be, and he can go back to being on "vacation" instead of just "not in the schedule." (I wonder if there's a competition going on between Conan O'Brien and Dave Chappelle as to who does fewer new shows and more reruns in a season.)

I did have one minor moment of triumph this Winter Olympics. For years I've insisted that NBC is using the theme song from The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr. for the voiceovers announcing upcoming events. People never believed me. But while researching something totally unrelated, I came across a Wikipedia article that indicates that is EXACTLY what NBC uses. So there. People should not doubt my capacity to remember the theme songs from obscure television shows. (I know the words to Sugarfoot, Bat Masterson, The Alaskans, Bringing Up Buddy (okay I made up my own words for that one) and Star Gate SG-1.) It's a gift. What can I say?

The State of the Union Posted at 22:00 EST
Maria's Response to the President

I get to say whatever I want because I VOTED in the last presidential election. As a matter of fact, I've VOTED in every freaking election, primary and special referendum conducted in my voting district since my 21st birthday. (Yeah. I had to WAIT to vote for incompetent booberkins.) But I have VOTED every damned time I could do so. Even for dog catcher one year. (That's a civil service job now. But it used to be elective.) Anyhow, I get to say whatever I want to say about whatever politician I want to mock whenever I want to mock him. (Or her.) Because I VOTE. Not saying for whom. Just saying I VOTED.

(1) Let's create ANOTHER commission at tax payer expense to "investigate the problems cause by the baby boomers retirement."
Why is anybody shocked that the baby boomers are retiring? They're pushing 65. They're not in good health. They LOOK good of course, because of all the plastic surgery. But they all have diabetes and heart conditions from too much steak and too little exercise. (Some of them are sick from drinking the poisonous substance known as "soy milk" which is really "soy JUICE.")

(2) Let's dramatically improve our environment and make dependence on Middle Eastern Oil a thing of the past.
K. That's a good idea. To further the environmental goals, we'll move all industry to China and all service work to India. Much less messy that way. To decrease the dependence on Middle Eastern Oil we will help Mexico to develop its petroleum industry. We can also drill in Alaska because the environment there doesn't "count" as part of the real United States.

(3) Let's train high school math and science teachers and get math and science majors to enrich the school environment.
Good one. Especially coming from somebody who doesn't grasp the minute amount of "science" implicated by the fact that a cell phone call is "made" from its own area code no matter where the phone is at that moment. In other words, if my cell phone has a 215 area code and I use it in France, I'll be making a local call in Philadelphia. (Although I'm sure Verizon will figure out a way to charge roaming fees and a bunch of other surcharges.)

(3.1) I haven't heard math and science referenced as a "good thing" since 1957. Sputnik. We haven't needed math and science since the Kennedy administration. Why mess with it now?

(3.2) Americans know better than to believe that entropy is inevitable.
Hunh? I guess we DO need more math and science teachers.

(4) Judges must recognize that they are servants of the law and not legislators from the bench.
Tell it to the Marines. Tell Congress to pass legislation that a human can understand that isn't full of terminology loopholes. *The ghost of Skelly-Wright haunts us all.* (If you don't know who Skelly-Wright is, look him up. The quintessential activist judge.)

(5) Cloning is bad. Human life is a gift from our creator. Don't mess with it. Human-animal hybrids are bad.
See #3 above. Is anybody making human-animal hybrids? Mermaids? Cyclops? Science is BAD. Untrustworthy. Bunch of egghead chrome-dome Dr. Frankensteins. Probably some Dr. Jekylls too.

(6) We need to reform Medicare and Social Security.
The problem with reforming Medicare and Social Security is that the federal government has two compelling but mutually exclusive goals with any such reform. First, they need to keep the baby boomers healthy and working. So they can pay earned income tax. Unearned income tax is good too, but see the fed wants BOTH. Unfortunately, if you keep the boomers too healthy, they actually will retire eventually. Which means they'll collect Social Security instead of paying taxes and contributing TO Social Security. They'll also consume medical resources that would be better allocated to treat illegal aliens. (For some reason, its important to provide benefits to illegal aliens while we let the widows of coal miners in West Virginia suffer. And of course they BECAME widows because the federal inspection standards are so weak.) Anyhow, see, we don't want the boomers to retire and collect instead of pay. So we need to destroy the American health care system to get rid of old people and weaklings. (This is a bi-partisan initiative. They disagree on how to kill off all the baby boomers as soon as they try to retire, but both parties are working hard to achieve this laudable goal.)

The above represents the views of the author, who despises all politicians of whatever stamp. This has nothing to do with AW, Jot, the demis, or the price of tea in China. When Hillary wins, the author will do a number on her also.
