Things That Make You Go...Hmmmm...

I keep a list of stuff that makes me go hmmmm.  The following stuff made that list.  Perhaps they'll made your list as well...

     -  Do you have to be whelmed, to be overwhelmed?  Just asking for all the taxpayers.

     -  No matter how deep the well, or how long the rope, it's how you dangle the bucket that counts.  Think about that one for a little bit...

     -  Never judge with a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.  Then, if you still cannot come to terms with him, you'll be a mile away, and you'll have his shoes...

     -  Since I understand that illegal aliens are paying coyotes some $7,000 to $8,000 per body to guide (wade? point? herd?) them across our porous Border, I'm thinking it might be better to just have them pay that cash directly to the U. S. Treasury.  We could put Federal Cashiers right there at the Border to collect the money.  Just imagine; a clerk with a cash register every few hundred yards, ready and willing to scoop up their cash.  Credit Cards gleefully accepted.  Since we know good ol' Joe O'Biden will do and say anything he can to open our borders wide (so many almost-citizens, so little time!), we might as well cut off a major source of funding for the cartels and help generate a couple of bucks off this deal...

     -  Mr. and Mrs. O'Biden go into a Georgetown restaurant.  The waiter asks, "What will you have, Mrs. O'Biden?  She says, "I'll have the t-bone steak, medium rare, please."  "Excellent choice," says the waiter.  "And the vegetable?,"  he asked?  "Oh, he'll have the same..."

     -  If you don't think we're overtaxed, 8 out of 10 of the biggest construction cranes in America are now in use in and around Washington, D.C., all busy building building after new building, with your tax money.  80%.  Seems like the business of Government is good business...

     -  "There's so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us..."  My Mom's favorite saying.

     -  Today I noticed my first brand-new, 2021 Ford Mustang "Mach-E."  Think of it:  A $60,000 electric Mustang.  It looked for all the world like a plump-ish Honda Crossover jelly bean.  Every bit as boring and confused looking, however.  And utilitarian.  But quicker than O'Biden avoids a question.  Not kidding.  Putting an electric motor in a Mustang.  Is nothing sacred?  Absolute proof you can fool some of the people some of the time...

     -  There are two kinds of people in this world.  The kind that categorizes people into two kinds, and that other kind.

     -  I wonder when the next time a businessman will put his fame and fortune on the line and run for President?  We're told Trump left office worth less than half that when he was elected.  Seems like the half of America that hates his kind of freedom will work overtime to punish anyone who disagrees with their perspective.  Attempting to "pay back" America can come at a high price, now can't it?

     -  If we only have 12 years to live, as our Climate Scientist, mixologist and "Green New Deal" proponent Alexandria Occasional-Cortex and her "sky is falling!" friends are telling us, I kind of wonder why we keep putting $'s into our 401(k)'s?  Or saving for that "rainy day?"  In fact, I think it might be a good idea to take that money out from under the mattress and blow it!!!!  Go to Vegas!  Buy a new Corvette!  Hit on the boss's wife!  Why live in moderation when we're about to no longer...LIVE? 

     -  Minivans are for people who buy SUV's to avoid the stigma associated with minivans...

     -  What do you do if your country has found energy independence for the very first time since the 1950's?  If you're Joe O'Biden, you whip off a few Executive Orders and make that country once again dependent for oil upon Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and Russia.  That country would be, ummm, America.  Still happy about your vote?

     -  It may have been tough before, but can you imagine how difficult it is now for bank security guards?  With everybody wearing a mask?  How about those 7/11 cashiers?  Everybody in the store wearing a mask except the little Southeast Asian cashier (I'm too "woke" to say "Indian," like Joe O'Biden)?  Wouldn't that leave everybody a bit on edge?

     -  Vegans won't eat meat, but they'll apparently eat look-alike hamburgers made out of a "plant-based" material, made to look like, sizzle like, brown-up like and taste like...hamburger.  Wha...?  How would they know if it didn't?

     -  Could somebody tell me where I'm going to plug in my little $150,000 Tesla when all the oil wells are capped and the coal mines are shuttered and the atomic power plants are decommissioned...and there's nothing left to power the power plants...except wind and solar?  That Volkswagen will begin to look mighty good when that time happens...     

     -  Let's see now.  The taxpayer underwrites the cost of delivering our mail to the tune of about $2 Billion Dollars a year.  The U. S. Postal Service loses that much money annually.  Yet, UPS, DHL and Amazon, for example, all use the U. S. Postal Service to deliver their packages.  Wait now...  You've been choosing FedEx instead of the Post Office for your package deliveries, but FedEx has been choosing the Post Office to deliver to you?  Why doesn't the Post Office just raise prices on those package delivery services enough to no longer need a cash infusion every year from you and me, the taxpayers?  And force those needing package delivery to pay all the costs without the taxpayers' help?  The ones who don't use package delivery services.  Maybe they'll go bankrupt and the P.O. will start turning a profit?  Good question, no?

     -  Major League Baseball has chosen to move their little "All-Star Game" because they don't like Georgia's new voting law.  Ummm, when, exactly, did corporations' boards of directors' decide to get involved in politics?  Knowing, presumably, that their actions would piss off at least half their customers, and cost them tons of money?  Especially if the reason for their action proved to be bogus?  Oh, to be a fly on the wall at the next Delta and Coca-Cola board meetings...

     -  You know you're "up there" in age when you don't purchase extended warranties on stuff you buy...because you don't expect to live long enough to need them.

     -  An for the very first time in history, a U. S. President declared economic warfare on one of our U. S. States because he disagreed with one of its legally-passed laws.  Economic warfare that has already cost that State more than $100 Million Dollars.  And he's also given cover for Major League Baseball to "cancel" Atlanta for the "All-Star Game."  My prediction?  This will backfire spectacularly!  Imagine, baseball.  The First truly "Blue" Sport... 

And these are from just a couple of weeks!  Folks, I gotta' million of 'em!  And if you appreciate what I do for you...I mean really, REALLY appreciate it, enough to to write me a check, I mean...No, just kidding there.  Sorry...my deep-seated belief is that I was a Narco-terrorist or a Barbary pirate in another lifetime.    

However in this one, I remain, yours truly,
