More Random Thoughts

1) Watching some of Bill Clinton's speech for Obama in Florida the other night I saw it but I could not believe it. Could Bill's schnozola be even bigger and redder than ever??? Rudolph could be out of a job come Christmas if it gets any redder (and with today's economy Santa may need only six reindeer to pull his sleigh this year. More layoffs that we do not need). Bill has got to be flush enough with cash so maybe a visit to Tom's Rhinoplasty should be in order and soon.
2) Some members of OPEC strike me as very ignorant or dare I say...Moronic. Iran and Venezuela come to mind after reading the paper the other day. The world's economy is crashing and they are worried about the price of oil. They are advocating cuts of up to 2 million barrels a day to prop up prices. These two idiots are thinking about short term profits instead of long term gains. They should try to keep prices down in the short term to help the world's economy pick up more quickly and if that happens the price of oil will climb again as demand grows. If they continue to keep the price of oil high through artificial means the world recession will be longer and deeper thus depressing demand for and the price of oil for a far longer term. Saudi Arabia walked out of the previous meeting because of such stupid thinking. They understand that a strong world economy creates a higher demand for their product thus bringing in more income sooner. Simple thinking in which the leaders these two countries obviously lack(and knowing these two leaders that is a given). Lets hope that the reduced price of oil at this time does not deter us from our mission to wean ourselves off of our dependence on foreign oil. With the money being spent to prop up the financial institutions there may not be much left for research in this area and that is a shame.
3) Only a few more days left before our televisions are given back to us by all of the candidates for election. I can't wait for sanity to return to commercials. My vote goes to Morris the Cat.
4) $150,000 for clothes for Sarah spent by the GOP election committee??? C'mon, They could have spent one tenth that amount at Sears or JC Penneys for probably the exact same stuff and had that much more to spend on the campaign. Who do the GOP think they are....My wife????
5) Halloween is here and once again I do not have to spend money on a mask bacause my puss is scary enough. Happy Halloween from the country of Moronica!

Random Thoughts

1) While watching tonight's Buffalo Sabre game I noticed that they have kept the old Sabre logo at center ice. The old logo brings back so many fond memories..Gil Perreault winding up and splitting the defense..a Rick Martin slapshot...Roger Crozier and his aching pancreas....the smell of the Aud's bathrooms....well, maybe not that. The old logo should have remained the Sabre's logo. The crest of the charging buffalo with the 2 crossed sabres underneath is simple and so ...pleasing to the eye. The new logo reminds me too much of a banana slug. Since when does a buffalo have a yellow head???? If the Islander fans can manage to get their old logo back, though I did sort of like the old man and the sea look of the new logo, we can get ours back! Tom Golisano....Give us our old logo back!!!
2) Remember, we morons are unionized and we should be proud of our ideas and always sign our comments. Remember that oh great members of Amalgamated Morons 6 & 7/8ths.
3) Can't the Bills build on anything good? They beat San Diego and then go down to Miami and lay an egg. Trent, you are going to be a great QB but please do not hand the ball off to Joey Porter. He is the enemy. He was wearing teal and white while you were wearing blue and red. I hope he learned a valuable lesson. Robert Royal will certainly not get my vote on the 4th. Nice game Robert oh master of the hands of stone.
4) It was good to see the Town of Gates leaf pickup patrol out at last. I had 4 weeks of leaves out by the road and no room to put nature's newest batch that needed to be raked up. I am hesitant to rake and bring them out because the area of my lawn is now distressed and very yellow. Usually these guys are great and have picked up two or three times by now...Oh well, hopefully they will be around sooner next time.
5) Once in a while the good old USA can show the world it can build something that lasts. Confidence in the economy...nope.......keeping other countries as our friends....not looking so hot at this time...I am talking about our two rovers on Mars named Spirit and Opportunity. They were built to last 90 days and now are approaching 5 years of service on the red planet. Continuing to operate and send us usable science they are a proud statement to American technology. We need to build upon this and show the world we can continue to lead in technological fields, especially now when we need it to conquer our dependence on foreign oil. Congratulations rovers and I wish you many more years of service. PS: Opportunity is now being directed to take a seven and a half mile drive to another crater. Incredible.

Negative Campaign ads

Well I have had enough and I just cannot stay silent anymore. I have a satellite dish and thank goodness it limits the time I spend watching local stations because I have seen enough local campaign commercials only watching the local news that just make me sick to my stomach. Randy Kuhl is trudging out the exact same old TV commercial lies that he used two years ago in his campaign against Eric Massa. According to his commercials Mr. Massa is going to be the most powerful congressman ever. He is going to single handedly raise taxes and give free health care to illegal aliens all by himself! With clout like that I cannot believe Mr. Massa is only running to be a congressman. Why do we hardly see any positive Kuhl commercials outlining what he has done for America?? Well, that is impossible when you have goose stepped with George Bush for years so the only thing you can trudge out is the same old crap, but hey, nothing like scaring people into voting for you. Its stuff like this that discourages people from the electoral process and it makes me sick. Sure, Mr. Massa uses negative adds but when you have the fodder of Mr. Kuhl's record to use against him you can't help but not to. Now I have seen more "What I will do if elected" ads from Mr. Massa than we see from Mr. Kuhl and that is a little bit encouraging.
In a related matter and because of negative ads by the opponent and also based on his record in the NYS Senate this is the main reason Mr. Robach is getting my vote for State Senate. Mr. Dollinger and his garbage ads can take a hike too. He did nothing when he was in Albany before, so why would we give him another paid vacation in Albany?
Negativity in elections campaigns must cease! Its one thing to attack what someone has done after he has been elected but how can you predict the future? The attack ads that state that Mr. Massa was going to raise my taxes by 2-3 thousand dollars per year. Now, why would anyone in their right mind EVER sponsor a bill that would do that. It would be political suicide. Mr. Massa would be booted out of office and lynched, and maybe not in that order, but then again, if you see it on TV it must be true. I am also sick of the Lee and Kryzan TV commercials too but thank goodness neither are in my district because 'none of the above' would get my vote there.
Things need to change. Our voices need to be heard by the politicos that negative campaigns need to go the way of the Dodo bird. Saying this, this is the most important election in a long time. Get out and cast your ballot as nothing is a sure thing. I am voting for change.... Go Obama!!!!!!

Ed Hochuli

How can the NFL continue to let this man and his band of assassins continue to ruin football games? The Denver-San Diego game was a joke. His roughing the passer call against Carolina was almost as bad but how can he and his band of thugs miss such an obvious facemask call by Minnesota against Reggie Bush. A flag would have negated the fumble and the game probably would have ended differently. What the NFL should do at least is to move Mr. Hochuli away from the high profile games for the rest of the year and let it blow over. I am a fan of the Saints(Go Bills!!) but when I saw that noncall I could not watch the game anymore and turned the channel. I have never been a fan of this referee as I always thought he and his crew were too flag happy. I want to watch the game...not watch referee's blow out their arms throwing flags. With his luck he will probably pull a Tripplet and throw a flag into somebody's helmet and put out an eye(remember that Cleveland fans?). 2 teams are now behind the 8 ball because of this crew. What will the NFL say if these teams just miss out because of his stupidity? Absolutely nothing as it, unfortunately, should. Hopefully this year the NFL will keep this joker away from the playoff games as any fans of the teams involved would be watching and wondering when the fateful bad game changing call will come and against which team. I just know that when Ed Hochuli is posted to a game that is on national TV I will be watching something else...maybe cartoons as we always know the coyote gets boned, just like San Diego and New Orleans did.
