Great.....what's next?

Many of the newest solar panels are manufactured with a gas that is 17,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide in contributing to global warming.

The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that the industrial chemical melamine is safe in baby formula in small amounts.

The best part of it is that when you sprinkle dioxin on the baby food, magic "Flavor Crystals" appear and glow in the dark.
Kids love it!

Dan,

I was perusing the internets last week looking for an alternative to sanding the floors in my house. When I stumbled across your Mr. Sandless™ website I was floored, get it? Not only could I get my floors refinished, I could retain some of the aging that has given my floor what little character it now retains.

It got me to thinking, What a great opportunity for me! There was no local franchise!

Dan, you do the math.....a couple of hundred thousand people, most of them retirees with way to much filthy money, looking for an alternative to the interruption of conventional floor refinishing. Hell, with the market in the crapper (pardon my French) refinishing floors is "where it's at" as the kids say!

I requested more info on your franchise opportunities for Mr. Sandless™. I was impressed with the fact that it only took a week to respond to my email. Hey, that could only mean one thing; you were busy with your Mr. Sandless™ empire! I had to get in on this gold mine!

I forwarded my resume as you requested so you could see I wasn't some yo-yo with only a high school education. Again, it took some time for you to get back to me (wink, wink). Along with my letter I implied that a visit to one of your jobs in progress in Atlanta would be a great idea as you certainly have reached into THAT market and I would be down there on business in the near future; kinda like killing two birds with one stone, right? I love it when I can kill two birds with one stone, don't you?

Well, imagine my excitement when you called me PERSONALLY on my cellular phone on Friday around 3 p.m.! It was an honor, sir to talk to you.

At first you told me the territory was taken. DRATS, I thought! But, where were they? How come I couldn't find them online? Why were they not in the phone book?

You explained that Raleigh, Greensboro, and Charlotte were all taken by Mr. Sandless™ franchisees.

Wait a minute......Asheville is TWO hours from the closest of those cities! Maybe there was hope for me yet. I asked you to actually look at a map as a sorta "cross reference" and "double check" your facts. Whew! Imagine how relieved I was to find you were relying on someone else's data that had been forwarded to you. You looked at an actual map and saw the need for a new partner in the Western part of the state.

Well to make a long story short, you told me there was absolutely no way I could actually watch the process that actually re-finishes floors without sanding them due to the fact that some guy tried to SCAM you some time ago by starting up a similar business after he had gotten an eyeful of "the Mr. Sandless™ process".

I hear you LOUD AND CLEAR, Dan! I don't blame you for being so protective of "the Mr. Sandless™ process".

You said the only way I could actually SEE "the Mr. Sandless™ process" was to buy a franchise.

At first it seemed odd, then It seemed like sheer lunacy! Lunacy that I didn't think of it first! Keep the Mr. Sandless™ process secret from everyone except the franchise holders; that way only the true progressives and forward thinkers will reap the rewards of foresight; that way, there is absolutely no scamming going on. Where do I sign, Dan?

Dan, please don't keep me in suspense too much longer. I want you to know that I really am a forward thinker and a progressive.

Hell, My wife often says I'm prescient and my mother says I'm awesome.

Where do I sign, Dan?

P.S. Your last letter said

"Brand new and available: Dr. DecknFence® Outdoor Wood Refinishing!

See www.DrDeck.com for this outdoor version of Mr. Sandless, with franchises now available in non-registrations states!"

Please tell me I live in a non-registrations state...if so, I'm in!

I have no idea, but I love it!

The top 1 percent of all households owned 35 percent of the world's wealth last year. Meanwhile, the top 0.001 percent, ultra-rich households holding at least $5 million in assets, commanded $21 trillion -- a fifth of the world's wealth.

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe (L) congratulates swimmer and Olympic gold medallist Kirsty Coventry (R) in Harare August 29, 2008. Mugabe presented an award of $100,000 for Coventry's achievements in the Beijing Olympics.

"Our national spirit must exude joy and pleasure and say you have done well, daughter of Zimbabwe. We are proud of you, we wish you well. She's our golden girl ... take care of her," he said at the ceremony.

A fable about Russia and Georgia

I know millions (billions?) of you are hanging by your fingertips, waiting on my opinion regarding the Russian invasion of Georgia. If you expect me to back John McCain, whose mantra is "War! War! Invade! Invade!" .. well, you're sadly mistaken.

Kindly allow me to paint a picture for you:

1. Let's assume the USA decides to make Georgia a strategic ally.
2. The USA sells lots of arms to the Georgians. Yes, they know Russia is next door.
3. Separately, the USA announces plans to put missiles in Poland.
4. Next, two of the 11 Georgian states (with large numbers of Russian expats) say they no longer want to be part of Georgia.
5. Georgia sends in federal troops to prevent that from happening.
6. In order to "protect the Russian expats", Russia invades Georgia.
7. Now, the UN blames Russia for invading.
8. A war-first US Senator (running for President) pledges his support for Georgia.
9. Meanwhile, the USA sits back, ready to sell Georgia more weapons as soon as the coast is clear.

Now, for purposes of argument, let's switch the names of the players:

USA -> Russia
Georgia -> Mexico
Poland -> Cuba
Russia -> USA

1. Let's assume Russia decides to make Mexico a strategic ally.
2. Russia sells lots of arms to the Mexicans. Yes, they know the USA is next door.
3. Separately, Russia announces plans to put missiles in Cuba.
4. Next, two of the 31 Mexican states (with large numbers of US expats) say they no longer want to be part of Mexico.
5. Mexico sends in federal troops to prevent that from happening.
6. In order to "protect the US expats", the USA invades Mexico.
7. Now, the UN blames the USA for invading.
8. A war-first Russian Senator (running for President) pledges his support for Mexico.
9. Meanwhile, the Russians sit back, ready to sell Mexico more weapons as soon as the coast is clear.

Now, what do you think? Still think this is worth (maybe nuclear) war?

A little domestic violence will get peoples attention!

Saw a doofus waiting at a bus stop smack a woman across the face so hard her glasses flew into the street.
I followed the guy in front of me into the KFC parking lot where we were met by a woman hollering to us "Did y'all see that?"
We had. "What the hell do we do now?" I asked. "I already did what I'm going to do" said the guy in the truck as he hung up his phone.
I called 911 and so did the woman. just then another two guys rolled up and explained that it took them a couple of minutes to turn around but they wanted a piece of the action.
I suggested that instead of calling the cops we should've just kicked his ass up and down the street.

Well, the cops came and cuffed him, pulled a knife out of his pocket, yelled at him and spoke to the woman.
5 minutes later the happy couple were walking on to the next bus stop.

We should've just kicked his ass up and down the street.

Paradise for circus geeks!

Oh, please!
A very old, bitchy, selfish Dianna.
The "married to a jerk" part she got right, though.

conversions and such.

Larry, tell us about the project, where did it come from? Most people don’t wake up one day and decide, “You know, we should build a 700 ft. arch and pro-life shrine.”

Well, I did, more or less! Last September before going to bed one night, I read an article entitled “The Pastoral Importance of Shrines.” It was about how shrines, and especially Marian shrines, each have their own special message for the faithful, and are important for promoting conversions and such
