Saturday Ramblings

The morning paper reports that Goldman-Sachs makes a profit every fifteen days of half a billion dollars. I repeat, every fifteen days. There's no way to do that legally.

I also noted where another politician is adding $100,000 of his own money to his campaign for reelection. Is the desire to serve your state and country that compelling? Or is is possible that the hundred grand is peanuts to what they will make in office? Again, something illegal going on here.

Is anybody else getting tired of North Korea threatening nuclear war every time the U.S. and South Korea hold maneuvering exercises? Can't someone, anyone, please send Kim Jong-il some photos of Hiroshima in August of 1945.

The only good news in the morning rag was that once again, studies show that a moderate amount of alcohol, consumed daily, is actually GOOD FOR YOU! Just remember, this is not one of those things where if a little does a little good, a lot will do a heap of good. Many of us have been there, done that.

Football season is approaching, slowly but surely. Until then, I think I'll work on improving my health with a couple beers.
