Surging and Shaking

Big News

Sen. Barack Obama raised a record $55 million in February for his presidential campaign. The new president will have to raise money a lot faster to pay back the trillions Bush borrowed.

Two bombs went off in Baghdad Thursday, killing at least 53 people and wounding 130. I mention it only because it would be really terrible if the surge wasn't working.

Even though Wall Street remains shaky, the bulls show no signs of running out of money to invest. Where do the bulls get all that mney? A lot of them married rich cows.

Okay, it's time to cut out all the jokes and admit President Bush has given this nation an incredible gift, one for which everyone can be eternally grateful. Thank you, Mr. President, for protecting us from a real terror threat .... by ..... staying alive!
- Hey, it scares ME to death having Cheney a heartbeat away....
- Please, stay the course, Mr. President!

Shallow Thoughts

It matters not if you see the glass half full or half empty -- this morning it will be half frozen.

Everybody's got a cold! I heard a transmission from the Enterprise that said, "Beam me up, Snotty!"

I'm not all that concerned about America being preoccupied with sex. It is a little scary, though, to be preoccupied with watching it on TV!

I go to church. I have to. This little light of mine has rechargable batteries.

My pastor says both heaven and hell have great food. The only difference is, heaven has all the good cooks. In hell everything is burned.
