The thoughts expressed below, either mine or quoted, shall most likely verify the speculation that my ignorance is, and always has been, instantaneous. If you read something here and you think it's brilliant, think about it a little more. And, if you read something here and you think it's stupid, think about it a little less.

Don't Forget Not To Forget
You know that as you grow older you'll forget what's in your mind.
Just pray you never forget what's in your heart.

Sit Down And Shut Up
Watching this video makes you wonder what Mr. Christy might have done had he been a member of our UN delegation today when President Ahmadinejad of Iran said "9/11 was work of Americans to save Israel"?
I can just see Mr. Christy getting out of his seat, walking up to the podium with a micrphone, pointing his finger and saying, "How bout you and me stepping out back and having our own private debate with no witnesses?" Or, maybe he would have quietly got up and left the Assembly, walked down the hall to the offices of the Israeli delegation, stuck his head in the door and said, "Sic em".
Probably the only governor in the country who doesn't need a bodyguard.

Who Made The Wind Blow?
To be more specific, "Who made the wind blow in the right place and at the right time?"
"And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and God caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided."
Exodus 14:21

Longevity
It's a scientific fact that men live longer if the learn how to eat right, learn how to exercise right, and learn how to say "YES DEAR" right.

Gates And Doorsteps
The "Gates of Heaven" are just up the street. The "Doorsteps of Hell" are just down the street. Which way will you go when you leave?

Common Sense With A Backbone
When Mr. Christie takes off his coat you're in for a lesson in good old fashioned common sense fortified with a lot of backbone. Hang in there and watch it all. The ending is the best.

Know Which Way The Wind Is Blowing
I liked "The Gospel of Wealth". But I am wary of the person who wrote the article.
David Brooks graduated from the University of Chicago in 1983 as a self-professed "liberal". Soon thereafter he was offerred a job with "National Review" and declared being converted to conservatism. He became an admirer of Milton Friedman, economic advisor to President Ronald Reagan, but in later years advised that the Republican Party must distance itself from the conservative principles that had arisen during the "Reagan era". He claimed that these outdated concepts had served their purposes and should no longer be embraced by Republicans in order to win elections.
Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Brooks argued forcefully for American military intervention, proclaiming that American and British forces would be welcomed as liberators. When the Iraq war took a turn for the worse he began tempering his earlier optimism about the war.
In the spring of 2005 Mr. Brooks became an admirer of Barak Obama and soon thereafter published a column in The New York Times, entitled "Run, Barack, Run", urging him to run for president. Now that things are going rather badly for the Obama administration, Mr. Brooks writes a very flattering article about David Pratt that could well have been written by a "TEABAGGER". And I am extremely skeptical of Mr. Brooks when he devotes an entire op-ed piece to a well known and respected evangelical preacher, yet in in late 2003 he came out in favor of same-sex marriage in his New York Times column. He even equated the idea with traditional conservative values: "We should insist on gay marriage. We should regard it as scandalous that two people could claim to love each other and not want to sanctify their love with marriage and fidelity.
"Beware the mariner who sails only with the wind, for seldom does he reach his desired port of call. However, he who also sails against the wind shall reach his destination consistently."

Sky High Prices
I went grocery shopping with my wife the other day. She picked up a package of steak and complained about the high price. Then she picked up a package of bacon and again complained about the high price. Finally, after she picked up a package of drumsticks and complained about the high price I said, "Just imagine how much higher the prices would be if cows and pigs and chickens could fly".
One More Thought: The price of milk would be rediculous. How do you milk a flying cow?
