Look what we found stuck to our front entrance this morning. Is it an Omen? Is it ‘Good News”? What is it? It is a fact, is it not – when, sometimes you are not looking for anything at all…you find the strangest of things. All you have to do is keep your eyes open.

SOME THINGS I THINK I’VE LEARNED:
- People (the Voters) are willing and often happy to cut other people’s entitlements; but not their own.
- People in States that have voted down Federal Government Relief fundings are happy to receive it when a Storm breaks in their own land.
- “Your Call Is Important To Us” is a big lie corporations use as a phone message rather than spend money on someone who could answer the call in the first place.
- No matter how much I try I cannot find anyone who can explain to me: Bitcoins, Quantitative Easing, Trickle Down Economic Success, Data Mining, The voters fascination for Carnival Barkers, Why if “The Evidence shows”…is not good enough for juries, Why – if Fossil Fuels contribute significantly to Climate Change, many voters will vote for a man who will support the “Drill Baby Drill” industry – as a quid pro quo (or just a ‘quo’) – if that industry will give him a billion dollars …and the list goes on…and on…
- Reading what members of the Fed say about the Economy and the possibility of changing the Interest Rate is a waste of time because they say everything and nothing at the same time and no one can understand what they just said – which was their point, which is to say don’t bother reading what they say in the first place.
- As my life has progressed (or regressed) I notice I have become a bit “WOKE”. “WOKE, WOKE at Last” – I would say. I know the term was originated in the Black South – but it has wandered off site over the years – and can be attributed to anybody who wants to claim it. So. I’ve created a new term: “SLEPT”…SLEPT is what I was, until I moved on to WOKE. Not having been ‘Asleep’ mind you; But SLEPT….sort of a culturated condition imposed upon me by my environment. My new term emanates from the White North, and hopefully will wander across the land.
Some quotes:
- “I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you’ve probably misunderstood what I’ve said.” -Alan Greenspan, Fed Chief, 1988
- “Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” –

Our Column from MATHUZALA, our Resident Rodent Columnist, will return to this site – as soon as his ‘Catch and Kill’ contract can be legally canceled. MATHUZALA has been well rewarded for not having his ruminations posted during the past several months. As soon as we get the “All Clear” signal from his lawyer, who is now in jail, we will be free to disseminate his thoughts once again. We have had to do a lot of Quids and Pro Quos to do this – let us tell you.

That’s all the digits that fits the mind…and a fond “Hello” to Christopher, wherever you are.
