But first a political assessment stolen from http://curmudgeonlyskeptical.blogspot.com/
which is not a blog for everyone.

Minnesota being the state the just elected Al Franken.

At my extended age you are rarely surprised but who knew about this problem ?

And I’m not really sure what this video is trying to teach me even tho I’ve watched it more then twice.

It says wonderhowto but I wonderwhy.

Here is reason # 27 why I’m not a cat person.

Finally after reading this article on taxing cow flatulence I’m wondering if I can get the government to pay me to not eat certain foods ?

According the U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 and the American Community Survey of 2007, the top ten cities with citizens living below the poverty line and with over 250,000 in population are as follows:

1. Detroit MI 32.5%

2. Buffalo NY 29.9%

3. Cincinnati OH 27.8%

4. Cleveland OH 27.0%

5. Miami FL 26.9%

6. St. Louis MO 26.8%

7. El Paso TX 26.4%

8. Milwaukee WI 26.2%

9. Philadelphia PA 25.1%

10. Newark NJ 24.2%

Detroit has had a Democrat mayor since the early 60s. Buffalo…since the mid 50s. Cincinnati…since 1984. Cleveland…since 1989. Miami has never had anything BUT a Democrat as mayor. St. Louis hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1949. El Paso has never had a Republican mayor. Milwaukee hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1908, Philadelphia since 1952 and Newark since 1907.

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.” – Abraham Lincoln

Who is that helmeted man ? Here’s a clue.

Spent a good part of my week off walking in the woods across the street from my house. A marvelous place even if the falls are dried up.

Finally, I dodged a bullet this week. Plaintiff cries were heard for the acquisition of a third dog. The mention that it would require a corresponding additional motorcycle were enough to silence the din.

The dogs name is Harley and he is available at a local rescue in Manlius.

Speaking of global warming it was 34 degrees in Manlius this AM. Thank goodness for Al Gore. It might have been colder.
