    REASONABLE EXPLANATIONS
    By Peter Fredson
    September 13, 2007
    Yesterday, in Fort Pierce, Florida, a 16-year-old boy said he shot his parents. His explanation was simple: “because he always felt like a disappointment to them because he didn’t have a job, smoked marijuana and didn’t share the same "qualities or interests" as his father.”
    "So there’s nobody, now there’s nobody to be disappointed in me, try to make me lead ... their life," the lad said.

    Yard Sale Treasure

    To relieve the stress and strain of retirement, I have taken up several hobbies. One was blogging. The other is attending yard sales. This is a very rewarding hobby for old farts. I highly recommend it to all retired people as cathartic and entertaining. You can see all the precious stuff people collected and saved in their attics and basements, and wonder at their idea of “taste.”
    Most people really HATE to part with (…)

    What was up Bush’s Butt?
    By Peter Fredson
    July 22, 2007
    President Bush just had some polyps removed from his colon. We all knew he had SOMETHING up his hind end, but thought it was a stick. Now the danger is over. Not the danger of cancer, but the danger of having Dick Cheney as President.
    That would be a fate worse than death to our nation. While we are not content with Bush as President, yet the thought that Dick Cheney would be given the keys to the nuclear briefcase staggers (…)

    ANOTHER MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
    By Peter Fredson
    July 3, 2007
    It is no surprise. Everyone expected some stupid action from our Heroic Leader, and it came. Bush just commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby, before he served even one day of time. He said that poor Scooter’s sentence was “excessive”, “harsh” for outing CIA agent Valerie Wilson. His heart evidently bleeds for injustice to his cronies, although he seems to see no harsh or excessive penalties in thousands of other cases around (…)

    Tying up Loose Ends By Peter Fredson May 8, 2007
    After my last blog, I was asked why I oppose George W. Bush in such vehement tones. So I compiled a list of complaints about the Issues that Bush has failed to meet adequately.
    The Valerie Plame affair is still open Several hundred prisoners are still in Guantanamo. Iraqi civilians are still being killed wholesale Iraqi oil is still coveted Iranian oil is still coveted Oil anyplace in the world is coveted Attempts to destabilize nations (…)

    Those Ugly Words
    By Peter Fredson
    April 25, 2007
    Russell Simmons of the Hip-Hop Action network last Monday stated that "We recommend that the recording and broadcast industries voluntarily remove/bleep/delete the misogynistic words ’bitch’ and ’ho’ and the racially offensive word ’n***er.’," because they are derogatory and disrespect people’s suffering, pain, and racial oppression for several hundred years.
    This came about as a response to the firing of Don Imus radio and television (…)

    ABOUT EASTER BUNNIES AND EGGS
    By Peter Fredson. March 6, 2007
    Replay by Request
    A nephew in Mexico e-mailed me a question concerning Easter. His wife is a school teacher, and her pupils wanted to know why in the U.S. bunnies and colored eggs are associated with Easter. Most of the Mexican pupils were raised as Catholics and they only know of the alleged crucifixion, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ in connection with Easter symbolism (Las Pascuas). No bunnies, no Easter (…)

    This is the time when Christian churches give out palm fronts, while people put ashes on their foreheads, eat Christ’s body, drink the blood of Jesus and make signs of crosses in the air. For me, the hero on the cross was Spartacus, but I know that other people disagree and do not celebrate his crucifixion.
    Some people dye little chicks pink and blue, while others have fuzzy chick replicas made of pink and blue marshmallow. Other people buy rabbits made (…)

    Why Bush Invaded Iraq
    By Peter Fredson
    February 6, 2007
    Let me see if I got it right. Bush is away on a long vacation when teams of Muslims, most of them from Saudi Arabia, crash 3 planes into government installations, another falls into a field, but none were intercepted despite considerable intelligence that this might happen. So Bush and Cheney get into planes, and scoot into bunkers. Later they make speeches while letting their Saudi Arabian oil partners fly out of possible (…)

    Someone outed a CIA agent? Gee, wonder who that could’ve been?
    Karl Rove. Nice Guy. I hadda put him in charge of reconstruction of New Orleans...
