Due to lack of interest (mine) and an inability to think (also mine) this blog will be inactive for the next week or so. As soon as my rapid-fire wit and sarcasm return, unhampered by chronic pain and mind-numbing drugs, I will return.
I'm praying for healing and I'd be grateful if you would too . . .

By Any Other Name . . .
If you don't pay your taxes you'll be called a Tax Cheat, Tax Evader or worse, An Unpatriotic Crook.
. . . If you don't pay your taxes, and your name is Tom Daschle or Tim Geitner, you'll be called, "Mr. Secretary"

Letter to Columnist
(for context, read Kathleen Parker's column in today's A.V. Press, page A-10.)
Dear Ms. Parker,
Your column announcing the death of Cynicism and Snark assured me of one thing: I'm screwed! Not just me but all unrepentant smart-alecs with sarcasm coursing through our veins.
How will we now point out how sanctimonious and moronic many of our leaders truly are? i.e. Nancy and Harry, Barney and Charlie- you know who they are.
I imagine we will be forced underground to whisper our wicked humor in dark alleys or in cold steel and concrete parking structures.
Will we slip between the hybrid cars to sneer at our leaders? Probably not, most of those cars are the size of a box of crackers - the trial size!
The future looms large - we are definitely screwed!
Sincerely,
A Fan and Fellow Snarker

Letter to the President
Dear President Obama,
Although I didn't vote for you, I accept that the majority of Americans selected you to lead this great country. I pledge my support and respect for the office you now hold. I ask only that you seek wisdom and guidance from the One True God in taking us forward.
I am proud to see Dr. King's dream at last fulfilled and pray that we can let the chains and barriers of the past drop away. I pray that they are replaced by willing hands and willing hearts reflecting God's grace and mercy.
May God bless and keep you and your family and may God continue to bless America.
Sincerely,
A Proud American Citizen
P.S. Word up: I will surely crack wise from time to time, it's what I do, it's who I am.
After all the hoopla and expectation of your speech, I was hoping that the first words out of your mouth would be "I got nothing" and the media could put an end to their slobbering adoration.

Speech! Speech!
Tomorrow, Inaguration Day, Barak Obama has to make a meaningful speech that will be remembered for all time. His words will be compared to Lincoln, FDR and Kennedy. WOW! No pressure.
Automobile Tip O' the Day
Do you know when it's time to replace your tires?
I've been told to stick a penny in the tread and then some other weird thing about Lincoln that I can never remember. So, I've written a little rhyme that might be useful to all of us:

I see London
I see France
I see Lincoln's Underpants.
Time for new tires.
