Ok folks, this addition to the blog will be a collection of things that just “don’t make no sense” to borrow a phrase. First of all, gas prices….what is up with that? They claim that increased holiday travel has increased demand. Humbug, I say. Every school vehicle in the country nearly has been parked for 2 weeks, teachers’ cars at home in the driveway, parents have not had to take children to school…ain’t no way a trip to Grandma’s made that much difference. But of course, we can’t drill for our own oil, thanks to current administration orders so we are at the mercy of OPEC. All I know is that it cost $67 to fill my truck up this morning. That’s got to be good for the economy, right?
Shania Twain is married again boys. A sad day for men everywhere, I know, but what gets me is that she’s married the ex-husband of the gal that Mutt left her for. I question Mutt’s manhood outright for leaving a babe like Shania anyway but what’s up here? Misery loves company, I guess. The ultimate revenge: You run off with her, I’ll marry her ex. Oh well, who understands the lifestyles of the rich and shameless anyway?
There’s a headline talking about Heidi Montag and all the problems she’s experienced after a “plastic surgery binge”. Supposedly she had ten procedures in one day, and some of them went wrong. I just got one question…well, ok, two questions. Who the heck is Heidi Montag, and why do I or anyone else for that matter care about her plastic surgeries?
Miley Cyrus in in the news again with “racy photos”. She’s an 18 year old celebrity, whose money and fame is going to her head, along with the normal crap that teens have to go through. So what? I got a bottle of whiskey at home older than her, so why does anybody over the age of 19 care?
Then there’s Tiger Woods. US Magazine has as story about his “magical Christmas without his kids”. As if that’s supposed to make me feel sorry and at the same time all warm and fuzzy for him. Horse hockey! He didn’t get to spend Christmas with his kids because he couldn’t keep his willy in his pants. There were what…14 or 15 women he cheated with that the media found out about? Sounds to me like he was too busy to even know who his kids were, much less miss them at Christmas.
The last story in the news I’ll mention this time is a quirky one. Beebe, Arkansas is a little town northeast of Little Rock population of about 5000. Not much goes on in Beebe to catch the attention of the national press, but they finally got noticed. Story has it that on New Year’s Eve, about 3000 blackbirds rained down out of the sky in the middle of the night, dead as doornails. Lots of theories about what caused it, but no scientific conclusions yet. Freak of nature or omen of impending doom? You decide.
Happy New Year everybody.
Hey, I also heard that there were some 5000 fish that suddenly up and died also. You hear anything about that?
ReplyDeleteHadn't heard about that. Will dig into it and see what I can find. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteanother interesting read
ReplyDeleteBeebe is estimated at 5000 birds, fish kill up around 100,000 of a bottom feeding species. Musta all choked on recently unemployed politicians.
