• Three Dots

  Hi. How are you? Currently surrounded by aromatic first, second and third hand cigar somke, posting because women swoon on my every word.

  This post is going to be in the style of a stream-of-consciences/three dot format because that’s the only way to make sense of what I am about to say. Here goes.

  Sixty hour plus work weeks suck…last week and this week and probably next week…still looking for guest posters…concerning schedules, Monday is a worldwide celebration, Wednesday will feature a viewing of World Trade Center circa 1900 and Thursday will be an evening of consuming adult beverages starting at Friday’s at 1900…school is a go, will post more coherently on this topic later…

  Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest has surpassed The Passion of the Christ in worldwide receipts…in fact, the entire table is fascinating…added Big Fish(IMDB, Amazon), and The Big Lebowski(IMDB, Amazon) to the collection…also purchased Beyond the Sea (IMDB, Amazon) but I won’t be adding it to the collection. Perhaps there will be reviews of these movies in the near future.

  Due to upcoming events and perhaps subconsciously by Howton’s post, but I went cigar shopping today. Bought a Kahlua (which is too sweet but great for puffing on because it is way too mild), a Maker’s Mark, a Helix (my buddy likes ‘em so I thought I’d try something a bit different; didn’t go for the tubular like he does though) and an Ashton. Perhaps the aficionado in the audience can ask the right questions to extract the details…

  Wanted to cover last weeks’ topics as well as revise The Thirty-five Undeniable Truths but it is too late for that. I will give you my opinion though: I think that Buckley was straight on, i.e. Bush isn’t going to be leaving a legacy to speak of, especially for his replacement, though that’s not exactly a bad thing. It’s more a winning the real war vs. the PR war anyway, ergo, Buckley was straight on with his comment

  If you had a European prime minister who had experienced what we’ve experienced, it would be expected he would retire or resign…

  I think it [the Bush administration] has been engulfed by Iraq, by which I mean that no other subject interests anybody other than Iraq. The continued tumult in Iraq has overwhelmed what perspectives one might otherwise have entertained with respect to, well, other parts of the Mideast, with respect to Iran in particular.

  Hillary’s asinine mumblings:

  You know, to paraphrase the historic 1992 campaign, it’s the American dream, stupid.

  This is supposed to be the smartest woman in the world and the best politician to boot, yet she demeans the rest of the world for not being as smart as her? Let me get this straight: we’re too dumb to figure out her campaign, so she has to dumb it down for us and immediately resort to name calling? How childishly obtuse!

  With all due respect, rich people did not make America great. Someone like me gets a big tax cut when I don’t really need it.

  Folks, I’m stumped on this one. I don’t get it. I just don’t. While the argument is for another time and a dedicated post, if it weren’t for the rich, this country would go nowhere, but that’s not even the point. Here’s my question: how will rich Hillary Rodham Rodham make the country great if she is elected president (of which I am very dubious of that outcome.)? In other words, if she’s so rich, and the rich don’t make the country great, how will the country benefit from her becoming president? According to her, we won’t.

  The whole thing is just classless! She’s only saying this for the PR. The truth of the matter is, neither her nor Bill can shut up about how much money they have. All this really is an attempt to stir up class envy. For the record, let’s take a look at what Bill and Hillary have said, shall we?

  Bill

  The Republicans used to be so mean to Hillary and me, but ever since we got out and started making money, we’re the most important people in America to them. I myself have gotten four tax cuts. We depend on Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Korea, to loan us money every day of the year to cover my tax cut. I never talked to anybody, Republican or Democrat, in my maximum tax bracket, who believes in this stuff.

  Hillary

  We have gone forward with not only huge tax cuts for the wealthiest among us. Of course, since my husband’s making money, we’re in that category.

  You gotta check this out.

  There were other thoughts on other matters, but I have forgotten them

  Topics to cover in the near future: Walmart, Xanga Features, Dan and my ideal woman. Stay tuned.

  I am still looking for guest posters. If you would like to guest post, email me from the link on the left with your post idea. We will return to your regularly scheduled blogging experience soon.
