My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

The "Mondays" Continue....

There was no blog entry last evening since my home computer decided to have a "thermal event" and shut itself off.  I have yet to solve the mystery, but meanwhile..... 


Last evening, I shut down pretty early, as well.  This cold is getting the best of my energies.



I see the Pelosi is pushing for the House Minority Leader:  I think those that would like to see her have that position (or any position) remain in the minority.  We will all be surprised if she pulls it off...

Under the title: "The End Continues":  The Border's Bookstore downtown has decided to close it's doors after Christmas.  With movie rental stores falling like flies, bookstores can't be far behind.  The world as we know it is really as we knew it.  The "average Joe" has no choice but to become connected.  Soon one won't be able to read a newspaper or magazine unless it is electronic.  It is an amazing and wondrous time that we live in.  

One always wonders what we give up in order to be herded like cattle towards the next technological off-ramp!

"One night I walked
home very late and fell asleep in somebody's satellite dish. My dreams were showing up on TVs all over the world" - Steven Wright




There were these two friends, Bill and Bob, and they both loved baseball. So, they made a promise to each other, the first one to die, will come back and let the other know if there's baseball in heaven.

Well, the day comes and Bob passes. Weeks turn to months while Bill is still waiting to hear from his friend.

Then one day, Bill is walking down the street, and Bob appears. Bill all excited, says: "I've been waiting forever! So tell me, is there or isn't there Baseball in heaven?" Bob kinda perks up and says: " I've got good news and bad news." "1st, there is Baseball in heaven! The bad news is you're pitching Friday!" 




A husband kisses his wife and the wife says "Stop it, what are you doing? Somebody might see us kissing." The maid shouts from the kitchen: "I too, tell him not to kiss, but he doesn't listen."
