What’s all this talk about green cars?
We in America should be able to drive our cars regardless of what color they are. If we all drove around in similarly painted vehicles how would we find them at the mall parking lot?
Our founding fathers intended us to be free to pursue our own happiness. For me that means having a red car. I refuse to re-paint my big ass SUV any color other than red. You tree hugging; recycling, star bucks coffee drinking liberals get a clue and a life. I will never drive a green car!
Bob, Bob
What? don’t interrupt me I’m on my soap box here.
Bob, you don’t understand.
What?
Green cars means fuel efficient, you know save the planet
What?
Driving green cars means helping the environment. It doesn’t mean the color of the car.
Oh,
Well in that case,
Never Mind!

Land for sale
From the A.P.
HAVANA (AP) -- Fidel Castro signed a lengthy essay published Sunday saluting a Cuban political figure but giving no hint of how he is feeling, even amid rampant rumors of his death.
All of you who really think Fidel signed this or any document this week, please see me.
I have several acres of land 7 miles east of Miami Beach I would like to sell you. Also I own the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. All for sale at a small price.

Mark my words...
Did you ever notice?
Here is one that’s been on my mind for a while. Somewhere between… what to order for lunch and should I re-marry or just live together.
Republican vs. Democrat
Did you ever notice? (Sorry Andy Rooney)
The name Republican ends in the word (CAN)
The name Democrat ends in the word (RAT)
Just a thought.

You be the judge...
It is often said that songs from the 60's and 70's were written under the influance of drugs.
Here is a sample...A Bruce Springsteen song recorded by Manfred Mann and the Earth band.
"Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the eastSays, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone, that's where they expect it least"And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner, watching the young girls danceAnd some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romanceThe calliope crashed to the groundBut she was...Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night"

A clean joke...for a change
A Rabbi, A Hindu and a Lawyer are on a walking trip through the countryside. After several hours on the road they become tired. The trio comes upon a farm.
They go up to the door and ask the farmer for some lodging for the evening.
The farmer tells them that the barn has quarters for two of them only the third man must sleep with the cows and pigs.
The trio draws straws to see who gets sleep in the small room. The Hindu and the Lawyer win. The Rabbi closes the door behind and walks away towards the animals. After an hour the Rabbi returns and knocks on the door. “I can’t sleep out there, my religion does not permit staying with pigs, they are dirty animals.”
The Hindu says, “I’ll go and stay out.” After an has passed the Hindu walks back and knocks on the door. “Gentlemen, I can’t stay out there, we hold cows to be sacred and therefore I must not sleep near them”
The Lawyer says, “Ok I’ll stay out”
He closes the doors and walks away. Another hour passes and the Hindu and Rabbi hear a knock on the door. When they open it they find the cow and pig standing there.

Assignment desk vs. Reporter
(Watch "A Few Good Men" before reading this)
ASSIGNMENT EDITOR: You want answers?
REPORTER: I think I'm entitled.
ASSIGNMENT EDITOR: You want answers?!
REPORTER: I want the truth!
ASSIGNMENT EDITOR: You can't handle the truth!
ASSIGNMENT EDITOR:
Son, we work in markets have stories and those stories need to be covered by men with cameras. Who's gonna do it? you? you, you're an anchor wannabe! I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You lust after the interns and make fun of the competition; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: The Lohan story no matter how stupid, probably got us ratings and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, gets stories. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me for those stories, you need me for those stories. We use words like swing by, check out and just get me a quick VO. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to cover stuff. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of news I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a camera and shoot something. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

ASSIGNMENT EDITOR: I did the job I had to do.
REPORTER: Did you order the LIVE SHOT?!
ASSIGNMENT EDITOR: You're God damn right I did!

Financial Tip
Forget your mutual funds, forget your lotto ticket.
Here is a tip that will no doubt secure your future financial wellbeing as well as that of your loved ones.
Invest now in companies that manufacture and market hearing aids. Yes hearing aids. These devices will surly be the high demand item of the future.
To prove my point to you, next time you are at a stoplight listen to the car next to you. Chances are it will be a $100 car with a $1000 dollar sound system. BOOM BOOM BOOM. The occupants of these vehicles will be in need of hearing aids in the not so distant future. Heed my sound advice (pun is intended here)

Television as a weapon
This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance and indifference. This weapon of television could be useful.
Stonewall Jackson, who knew something about the use of weapons, is reported to have said, "When war comes, you must draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." The trouble with television is that it is rusting in the scabbard during a battle for survival.
