About the Toledo leadership...yeah...

Strippers, golf and democrats...it don't get any better than that.

I wasn't going to mention the iPhone...but...

I saw this article about hacking into the iPhone and I thought it was hilarious. There are actually people that are reporting on a crime as it goes on, but no one can do anything about it. Perhaps you and those like you might find it humorous as well.

I'll also throw in this blog about the good and bad parts of the iPhone. I just thought it was interesting and informational.

Stress makes you FAT

Stress makes you fat too. So why don't you chill out.

Fast food...the new plague on the world

Fast food fat has expanded its control on the world. In an attempt to overtake and control the universe, fast food companies and fat producers alike have taken a hold on the Philippines.

You and those like you should stop eating fast food because it is going to kill you. So will milk, eggs with or without the yolk, coffee, tea, red meat, steroid injected chicken and hundreds of other foods. And don't forget the actions that will kill you, smoking, driving, walking, jogging, running, breathing and hundreds of other actions you do everyday. My advice...stay indoors, preferably in a bubble.

Americans=Alcoholics

Alcohol, not just for winos, radio disc jockeys and college kids anymore. According to a new study 30 percent of all Americans will develop a dependence on or abuse alcohol. You and those like you better watch out.

Toledo in the news

Toledo, Ohio has a special place in my heart and this story involves people I know. Manor Care, one of the nations largest owner of nursing home care facilities has announced it will be bought by private equity giant The Carlyle Group. We'll see what happens to the Toledo based company after the sale is final. Toledo businesses have a strong penchant for leaving Toledo as soon as they can.

I won't get on my soapbox, but Toledo's leadership is old, tired, unimaginative, weak, corrupt, uneducated, overpaid and mean-spirited. The only way for the city to succeed is to break the shackles of their retread government officials.

It is a great city trapped in a fog of delusion. You and those like you should visit sometime...we do still have a world-class art museum (the Toledo Museum of Art) and world-class zoo (the Toledo Zoo) along with some other great attractions. It is a Midwestern city that was at one time on the up and up and while its neighbors (to the north, Detroit, to the west, Chicago and Indianapolis, to the east, Cleveland, and to the south, Columbus and Cincinnati) grew, Toledo was locked in mediocrity. It can change, but only with a sweeping political change. Good luck Toledo, I wish the best for you.

Okay, I did get on my soapbox...sorry.

Japan suffers from political correctness

So admittedly I don't know much about Japanese politics, but I do know political correctness when I see it. Japanese Defense Minister was forced to resign due to comments he made about the use of atomic weapons during WWII.

Now I don't know the feelings of the country about WWII and their past and this guy has apparently made some dumb comments in the past, but I think he was right in what he said. Without the use of atomic weapons the war probably would have continued and it would have become and even more difficult transition to peace.

Ultimately, I just thought that you and those like you would enjoy the story. It sort of parallels how things are going in the USA right now. Misspeak and you better beware...

Scooter out of jail free

G.W. Bush let Lewis Libby off the hook for the jail time yesterday by commuting his sentence, but leaving the $250,000 fine intact. I think this was the right thing to do because in my estimation Libby was subject to politics in the courtroom. Apparently there is a poll out that says that most people think that Libby should serve some time, but my guess is that most Americans don't know anything about the case except that a high ranking official was busted for something and they like that. You and those like you have hopefully read more into the story.
