'Dis And 'Dat

Bill Clinton was recently named “Father of The Year” by National Fathers Day Council. As bad as this is it ain’t as ridiculous as Obama’s Nobel.

Cats live too long. Why can’t their life cycle be like a fruit fly?

According to Snowden we are hacking into China's various data bases. This is like Mad Magazine's Spy versus Spy. I can see us looking trough a peep hole and on the other side is (fill in the blank) peeking back at us.

Why is it called a driveway when I park my car in it?

When I go on a trip it always seems longer to get there than get back.

The new DTA political hack leader is Stacey Monahan a former executive director of the state Democratic Party. Another successful nation wide search.

Why do I have to pay a toll on “freeways” in Houston? I’d argue the point but they are all electronic.

I wish the Republicans would take dominant control of politics in this state just so I could witness some possibly more creative political skullduggery. Democrats have been far to predictable.

Bumpkin pointed out electronic town meeting voting. That means no evil eye when one speaks out against a popular measure or an employee handout.

Of course based on TM turnout they should just hold it at Dave’s Diner or a similar place. Have a nice meal, a bar available and maybe the turnout can reach a few hundred.

I’m at about 50/50 on the belief factor of job claims and various other government statistics being “cooked books.”

Steve Wynn is suppose to be building a 4B dollar casino in Macau.

A company I once worked for the CEO was a seven figure person who loved to gamble. The casinos would provide him with a private jet to Las Vegas. Rumor had it he won more than he lost - rare indeed.

I recently spent some time in Westfield. What a vibrant community. Unlike Middleboro it was not cluttered with tattoo parlors and nail salons.

Snowden blew the whistle on a direct violation of the 4th amendment weather approved by Congress or not. Too bad a whistle blower wasn’t around at the Wassen Conference to give some warning of the Nazi’s final solution.

To me Ed Markey is just a dirt bag.

Red Sox continue to roll.

On 1950 Detroit was the wealthiest city in America. Now it is recognized as the most liberal city in America thanks It is also facing bankruptcy, is crumbling, has a huge unemployment, and welfare and crime off the charts - 50 years of “progressives” at work.

On both sides of Precinct Street by the power lines are entrances to great trail systems. I try to go there as often as possible since I’m sure the excavating equipment will soon arrive for the billion dollar casino.

My special election vote was quick. I check in, turn around and check out. The clerk said “voting is over there” pointing to the booth. I simply stated my vote is something precious and I cannot in good conscious vote for either candidate. Blanks do make a statement.

The Feds continual bond buy is like breast feeding a 14 year old. Enough and that enough was a long, long time ago.

Gomez cleaned house in our area. Markey totally dominated cities. Free stuff won out.

Caesars’ casino operations are making a play in Massachusetts. They have debt of 21B and lost 1.5B last year and were recently rejected for a license in South Korea. The way things are done in Massachusetts they should be a lock for a license.

Paula Deen is getting hammered for racial epitaphs. Funny how comments worked out for Jesse Jackson. Double racial standard?

Since I am no longer “Cooking With Paula” I will save a bundle on butter.

Imagine going to a store and asking the clerk the price and they say "Between $100 and $130." So we are getting a spiffy new police station - with a gym - and it will cost 10M or 13M or anything in between. This will be the Middleboro answer to The Big Dig.
