Hold the phone! Wait a minute! Our Hero, who has been saying he is going to run for President, is thinking of running for the Head of the House of Representatives, instead. It says right here in the Constitution you do not have to be a member of the House to become its Leader. (We forget which paragraph that is in – but that is what someone said and that is good enough for us.) Our Hero figures it would be cheaper to run for this position, than the other; the other having a (quote/unquote) billionaire to compete with. Anyway, our Candidate has noted the current Head of Congress (whose name shall never be posted in this blog) has announced the Lord, the other night, told him that he is the “New Moses”. Our Hero thinks either the man who thinks he is the new Moses has gone crazy, or the Lord has. And he thinks that a lot of the people probably do not want to return to the ‘Holy Land’ or wherever the “New Moses” has been told to take them. Keep an eye out for an update on this and other matters in next week’s posting.
NOW TO OUR REGULAR ORDERS OF INTEREST:
- First, a quiz. Remember these words: Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV
- New terms, to us, to help you be au courant in conversation : 1) “Information independence”…meaning: lying about the facts; but not wanting to use the word “lying”…as in “He was using ‘Information Independence’ when he spoke about the size of his crowd at his inauguration”. 2) “Go reproduce yourself”…a non-vulgar way of telling someone to – – – – himself…we think that’s what it means….
- Studies show placing Angry Faced emoji’s at the end of a message, does not really vent as much rage as shouting at someone or protesting in the streets. But it is satisfying in such a way that you may actually think you did something about that which you were angry about – for a few seconds.
- I was thinking – with the powers of AI; if you could count up all the prayers that were offered up everyday to the Gods of the various religions, and if all those prayers were categorized…the Number One request would be for “More”. Please God, give me MORE…money, food, water, life, years, power, money again…whatever. Everybody asking for more. Eight billion of us and counting; Day in, day out. And I was thinking that if anyone, any politician – let’s say, said he was going to give us More, I’d say he was a dirty, rotten information independence giver; unless, of course he was told by the Lord that he was Moses or somebody like that.
Now: Do not look to the top of this posting. Can you remember the five words we told you to remember? If you did, you passed the mental capacity test which would enable you to be President of the U.S. (Our most recent former President noticed, “U.S.” is the same word as “us”.)…if you did not remember all the words, you could still become Head of the House.

Some interesting statements others have made:
- “You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: “I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!” -Peter Finch as Howard Beale in “Network”, 1976
- “I’ve always been crazy; but it keeps me from going insane” -Waylon Jennings, song, 1978
That’s it for the week a fond “Hello” to Bogie, wherever you are.
