Hello Elim,
Things are getting silly here. I think it’s time to go on vacation. I would love to visit Florida again, but I saw an article about frozen lizards falling from the trees! Death to sub-freezing temperatures and snow. We’ll probably go to Greece or Turkey instead. My wife was also a terrible cook when we were first married. As you say, I feel his pain. She will learn to cook eventually. It is important that you make sure to tell her when something is good. More this than when it is not good. SiAmack |
Hi SiAmack, I’m not sure how to go about killing freezing temperatures and snow, but I heartily share your sentiment here. Death to that crap! Turkey is nice, but I’d wait until it warms up. As I recall, they have winter there too. Elim |

Hi Elim,
I think you’re way off base. What is so wrong with wanting to make sure everyone gets their fair share of the American Dream? Keith |
Hi Kieth, I’m all for everyone sharing in the American dream. I also believe that the people who actually get up off their ass and work toward that dream deserve a bigger piece of the pie than those who want to sit around, thinking they’re owed something. I can’t speak for all conservatives, but I for one don’t want “huge, faceless corporations and the greedy” being in control of anything that’s not rightfully theirs to control. Sure the pie is big enough. I just think it should be bigger and that everyone should have to earn their piece of it. The liberals seem to think it’s okay to reduce my piece in order increase someone else’s. Fair is earning what you get and getting what you earn. That’s for everyone. Elim |

Hi Elim,
I think you’re dead on the money about political marketing/packaging. Now that the packaging has gotten a little tattered, we’re starting to see that there are in fact some qualifications for being president and we need to make sure the person we elect has a track record of having these qualifications.

Hi Butch, I too was surprised that CBS would report anything that could in any way be derogatory about their lord and master. Of course the MSNBC article sought to diminish the importance of the low rating. It’s just another matter of the will of the governed being important when it jives with what his Obamaness wants. When it don’t, it’s just a bunch of teabagging redneck noise. Two Hand Salutes for you. Elim |

Hey
Random Fact Guy rules! Barb |
Hi Bard, If you say so. Elim |

Hallo!
Ich habe Ihren Müll jeden Tag. Es ist schwierig, ein deutscher zum Lachen zu bringen, aber Sie manchmal. Sie sollten die Schweizer Botschaft anrufen und sagen Sie ihnen, um aus und sehen, ob sie es tun. Eckhardt |
Hi Eckhardt, Thanks, I think. I won’t call the Swiss because I don’t want my phone contaminated with their heathen gibberish. This for you: Let me know if it works! Elim |

Hey,
You owe me a keyboard! I was reading your thing about the backward hats and spewed Dr Pepper out my nose and onto my keyboard. You should post a warning! My son used to wear his hat backwards until I read him your analysis. Now he doesn’t. Keep it up! Calvin |
Hi Calvin, There is a disclaimer in there somewhere. It’s toward the back. A Hand Salute for you and one for your son. Elim |

Hi Elim,
“Mystery to Me” — Fleetwood Mac, 1973. Rufus |
Hi Rufus. Correct you are. Three Hand Salutes! Elim |

In other news, the focus groups are returning some interesting results. Well, interesting if you’re in any way interested in what a bunch of urban hillbillies have to say about a blog that makes only a little bit of sense the guy who writes it. But I’m told that if I want to take this blog thing commercial, I have to plow through comments like:
“I don’t understand how armadillos in space have anything to do with politics or economic policy.”
and
“I like that Random Fact Guy. You should do a whole web thingy on him.”
and
“Obama is just crazy”
Yeah, that’s real helpful. I’m thinking I should hit these marketing guys with a trashcan lid and go back to having the daily cleavage count.
In other news, it’s a major bummer down Haiti way. Those folks already have it tough and then an earthquake? I’m not gonna list the ways you can lend aid, you can Google for it. I will however ask you to send up some prayers on behalf of these people.
In other news, you probably don’t know who Donald Goerke is. He passed away at the age of 83 and I’m willing to bet that if you’re an American and you were in any way a kid or had kids between now and 1965, Donald Goerke impacted your life.
That’s right, he’s the guy that invented Spaghettios. I shall have them for dinner tonight.
In other news, the wife has decreed that my new robot vacuum cleaner be given a name.
She thinks it’s a male based on its propensity to try to eat socks whenever left to its own devices. I’m at a loss for a suitable name. I’m great at naming dogs, but robotic vacuum cleaners is leaving me stumped. So here’s your chance to name my robot vacuum cleaner. You have until Friday. The winner will be selected by my wife and will win a T-shirt saying “I named Elim’s vacuum cleaner!”
Get on it!
