Monday All Over Again

Evidently Mike (I Need A Job) Huckabee and Rick (All Hair, No Brains) Perry have been watching Donald (Hair-Brained) Rump rise to the top of the Republican polls by making incredibly stupid statements and have decided they can be just as stupid.

Little Mikey jumped into the fray by comparing the President to Hitler with his “leading the Israelis to the ovens” statement and Ricky Pooh by saying that everyone in the movie theater should have a gun. I would say both of those statements would be deemed Trump worthy.

Honorable Mention goes to Loseranna Governor Booby (Jihad) Jindal for saying that the shooting in the theater in his state proves that we need to spend more money on mental health care.  I guess little Booby forgot that he cut 34 million dollars from mental health care in his budget two years ago.  

I just came across an interesting article talking about how all of the blowhards on Faux News right after George Warmonger Bush had brought the economy to an all time low by letting the Wall Street banks run amok began to tell everyone they needed to put their money in gold.

Well it seems that a whole lot of the boneheads who had a lot more money than common sense did just that and gold climbed to an all time high of $1900 an ounce. Of course as we all know, nothing stays the same and gold is now down about $900 dollars an ounce, but here is the real problem. Gold is different than investing in other things. Gold is a physical thing and has to be stored and storage cost a lot of money. So not only have they lost a lot of money on their investment, but they have to pay a ton of money to store it

All of this reminded me of post I wrote a few years ago so I thought I would re-post it just for grins.

The Golden Rule

You know the one, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”   I truly believe if we all followed this simple rule the world would be a much better place.  Unfortunately the golden rule that seems to be used in today’s world is “He who has the gold, rules.”

Speaking of gold, gold’s value is a cultural phenomenon.  Mostly it is deemed valuable because it is RARE.  Well, that got me thinking.  Uh oh, here we go again with me thinking.

Here are some other things that are very rare in this world.

• Anyone in Washington who has any common sense.

• Corporations who have a clue to who their employs are.

• Radio stations that plays more than twenty songs over and over.

• Talk radio host who actually know what they are talking about.

• Politicians who tell the truth.

• Celebrities who have actually done something creative.

• A Wall Street banker who has a conscience.

• Me getting up before noon.

 Why do they give you a gold watch when you retire?  Once you’re retired, why would you care what time it is?  They should give it to you when they hire you so you can get to work on time





Stay tuned for future adventures.
