Good Morning...again

Good morning. It’s a Wednesday morning and a windy one as well. I can hear the wind hitting the mower shed outside, making the aluminum ripple and moan. I have my second cup of coffee in hand and I have been reading the news. (The wind should stop soon) What would I do without the news? I can’t imagine life without it…

And the big news of the day is the California election results where Arnold, our acting governor, has lost. No, he didn’t lose his job, just his credibility; this was already in sad shape. He still has one year left to star in his role as governor before he tries for an encore, but this setback may make him think twice. (Thinking once should be sufficient)

Some other headlines…
Democrats sweep Virginia, New Jersey races… Maybe there is hope, even in Red states. Although the news from Ohio shows that some voters just can’t get enough abuse!
Senators, oil execs to debate profits… There is talk of a tax on Windfall Profits, but is that fair? Should we also up the tax on Apple for making big money with its iPod? How about Motorola and its Razr phone? Where do you stop the tax on windfalls?  
Kansas educators clear way for evolution criticism… Wouldn’t you think that reading, math and spelling should have priority? Some things are better off being taught at home.

And some jokes from my friend Dan…in Darwin, NT Australia. How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America? And, isn’t having a smoking section in a restaurant like having a peeing section in a swimming pool?
