Totally Amazing Yet Possibly Educational
Big News
President Bush urged Iraqis on Tuesday to put aside political, religious and sectarian differences to form a government of national unity. Political and religious differences okay, but he should have left the secretaries out of it.
- That's asking for trouble.
Iran defiantly resumed nuclear research on Tuesday, sparking an outcry from the United States and Europe. Outcrying is important -- it'll give us time to phony up some intelligence to take to the UN.
Wonderful Wednesday
International Thank You Days begin Wednesday, time to thank someone who did something nice for you.
On January 11th in 1984 Michael Jackson's "Thriller" became the best-selling album of all time and he was nominated for 12 Grammy Awards. Michael was so happy, he ran right out and slid down his giraffe.
The first insurance company was founded in Philadelphia on January 11th in 1759. They thought they had a safe risk with their first policy -- some guy named Franklin against being hit by lightening.
Psychologist William James was born on January 11th in 1842. He started a huge controversy by arguing that, when you meet a bear in the woods, you run first and get scared later. Others argued you'd get scared first, then run. Me -- I'd stay out of the woods.
On January 11th in 1964 Surgeon General Luther Terry labeled cigarette smoking the #1 cause of lung disease. Big Tobacco responded calmly and logically by calling the surgeon general a communist and declaring that cigarettes are as American as mom, apple pie, and wheezing.
Love & Learn
Love Without Measure - You really can't love somebody to death. People die from no love, but we don't have to worry about loving someone too much.
Today's totally amazing and possibly educational fact:
Cockroaches have been on earth approximately 364 times longer than man, yet as far as anybody knows, cockroaches have never held an election.
This is America! Just try to relax and enjoy the confusion.
The best thing about winter is you can neglect your yard and nobody notices.
Remember, ignorance is bliss -- and with this blog we've got bliss runnin' out our nose.
