I try to read the 12 blogs I follow daily. On slow news days it's easy not so on busy, busy news days. But at this time of the year, news slows a bit so I have been fortunate to have read all my blog favorites (plus many, many, many more via links) already. I touched base with Chris Hitchens on Hotair.com where he is holding forth with three other atheists on...wait for it: God and religion. I commented there that, as an atheist, you would never find me among those four....ever! So much nonsense. Let me believe what I believe...I will let you believe what you believe. Just don't try to shove your stuff down my throat or worse yet, cut it! I have my own philosophy and I'm sticking to it. After all, the chances of finding out what really is there is slim and none for anyone still breathing. My spouse knows. He left us last Christmas but he's not come back to tell the family what's he has found. He, of course, knowing him, would be laughing his head off at what we and the world might be into this season. In particular the presidential race. But, he would also be in profound awe at what he just might come across as he tours the universe.
Read where Iran might lose as many as 18-20 million in a nuclear war with Israel. Syria may also lose close to 18 million if they joined in and Egypt would suffer enormous losses. Israel? Somewhere in the 800,00 range...an acceptable lose? Hmmmmm
On the news: sniffles, sore throats and coughing may be the result of that fresh Christmas tree in your front room. Seems there are molds that attack them after they are cut down; mites and other insects plus plain old dirt. Still, as my daughter just said, it could also be the change in weather. Hmmmmmm.
Seems that Bubba and Hillary Clinton still believe that we peasants are stupid...or was it dumb? Is there a difference? Their machine, however, may be getting a small clue that the Internet has changed the rules of their game. Her Christmas add is about "providing (read give) us with present", you know, universal health care, pre-K universal education, etc., etc....the only fact she hasn't gotten around to telling us, is that we will be paying for these presents with our own money!! Such generosity gets to me every time, including my wallet. Enough I say, enough!!
McCain is gaining....Rudy slowing....Fred is up and getting busy...Mitt wishing and Huck, well Huck is trying to pull a Huckster on us. He also thinks we're dumb....for pity's sake, he is a Minister of the Baptist faith...that should tell you everything you need to know.
Obama got nothing for his Oprah gig....Edwards, silky boy is still dead last and Hillary has finally gotten some competition. Wow...what a race on both sides. And, we have to have one of these in the White House? Pity us.
Also, the UN just got billions in dues/bribes to spend on themselves. I say, CUT THEM OFF! KICK 'EM OUT!
Oh and before I forget, Pakistan lost a whole ton of cash America donated to help feed the poor! How is that any different than the money we pour into Africa, South America and points all over the globe!
JUST REMEMBER, THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME!! However in the spirit of the season let me wish you and yours a wonderful, warm and successful Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.
