WHERE I'VE BEEN

If you've missed my last few blog entries, don't readjust your television sets. We've been on vacation over in Port Angeles, spending four nights at The Tudor Inn, a great B&B place I hope to write more about later. Spent a day in Victoria B.C. too and another partial day hiking 3.3 miles to the coast from the Lake Ozette ranger station. I learned that I really am 68 years old. Last time I did that hike, it was a cakewalk. This time, the walk was, as my wife put it, "an ordeal". Got some pictures I'll put in later. For now, I'm just entering a post (below) that was sitting ready for entry.

JUST A FEW DRIBS AND DRABS

“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read." —Groucho Marx

“Let us face the facts,” said Senator Robert A. Taft, “we are already in World War III.” Taft said that back in the 1950s. So, by Republican Taft’s calculations, if he were alive today, we should be in World War IV with the terrorists because III is taken already. We need these talking point, rightwingnut Republican media guys to get their numerical sh*t together.

"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites." —Thomas Jefferson

"Religions are all alike—founded upon fables and mythologies." —Thomas Jefferson

Astronomers, using new guidelines, decided recently that Pluto is no longer a planet. It’s too small and its orbit is rather odd. Meanwhile, historians, using time tested standards, declared that Bush is no president. His brain is too small and the circles he travels in are definitely out of whack. —Aintnogod


THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FROM SWALLOWING SO MUCH BALONEY

Please don't personally insult a sitting President it insults the office and the country. It makes really evil men, like Chavez and Ahmadinejad think they can come to our country and do the same.

If you don't like Bush; in two years he'll be gone. He is no dictator.

Well, that's what I thought when the religious right and Bush and company were attacking Bill Clinton over a far less serious matter than the impeachable offenses that President Bush is guilty of. Clinton only embarrassed himself. Bush threatens the freedoms in our Constitution that he swore to protect under an oath to the god he imagines exists. He truly should be impeached.

Still, having fun with our presidents dates back to Jefferson (they called him an atheist), and so I'm less wary of what I say about Bush. However, just for my own peace of mind, I'd like to be less critical of others. It's better for the bile levels in one's blood.
