Nobody Asked Me But:

Classless remark of the week:

“Let's hope that the key conferences aren't when she's (Sotomayor’s) menstruating or something, or just before she's going to menstruate.” - G. Gordon Liddy

But then classless and Liddy have always been inseparable.

Today is the day when Los Angeles turns into Havana West, the day when neighbors become water police and are encouraged (or is it commanded) to inform on their neighbors. Are the new water laws necessary? I don’t think so. From all that I read that is not DWP propaganda, the situation is borderline serious while these laws speak of desperate. I think “encourage to save” fits the present situation more than “order to save.”

Perhaps I would have more confidence in the law’s importance if they did not originate behind the walls of one of the most corrupt government agencies in existence, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (and I believe you can probably strike the “one of”) and be rubberstamped by another suspect entity, the LA City Council.

Memo to General Motors: (with a tip of my hat to Ray Kinsella): Build a better car and they will buy.

No rocket science here. Just common sense.

Memo to UAW leaders: Samuel Gompers wasn’t the whole truth – “MORE” is not always the correct answer.

Action: Abortion doctor George Tiller is killed.

Reaction: What do you call a nation that claims to eschew violence while selling guns to anyone and everyone?

I can think of several – dishonest, hypocritical, tragic.

And why not label anti-abortionist leader Randal Terry ("I'm more concerned about Obama's reaction than Tiller's murder.") as the terrorist that he surely is?

ON ABORTION

I remain convinced that abortion is a necessary evil. Necessary because there are times when it is the preferable alternative. Evil because in instances that lack strong necessity it is a savage practice that brutalizes our nation and makes other savage practices more legitimate.

News Item: VASSALBORO, Maine -- A three-alarm fire on Wednesday morning destroyed Vassalboro's Grand View Coffee Shop, a business well known for its waiters and waitresses who work topless.

As you may have noticed, I have been keeping abreast of the situation at the Grand View ever since it opened in January.

Arson perhaps? A little tat for tit?

I thought that President Obama gave a great speech yesterday in Cairo. It would have been even greater had he included one or more specific plans, goals or timetables around which both our worlds could rally.

And now that the speech is behind him, I hope he remembers what my grandmother always said: “Actions speak louder than words.”

Action: Some in Congress uneasy with Obama's Mideast policy.

Reaction: Once again, the pro-Israeli hard line lobby is more important than integrity. Remind me not to put these congressional bozos in my “Profiles In Courage” sequel.

Are the settlements as immoral as the Arab position that Israel must be destroyed? Of course not, BUT THEY ARE IMMORAL!
