Presenting Another Edition of ODDS & ENDS

 It's been a cold, snowy February so there are no major events to report but there are a few odds and ends that I've been kicking around.  Here they are:'

1. Socialism revisited.  Remember my post back on Dec. 10?  I straightened out the morons who don't understand the concept of socialism.  They are often the ones (read republicans) who say they wouldn't vote for a democrat because they hate socialism.  Anyway, it popped up on the news again the other day when a reporter was talking to some folks from Texas who were suffering from loss of electricity, heat and water.  They were mumbling something like where's the government when they need it.  Wait! Isn't that socialism?

As comedian Ron White says "Ya' can't fix stupid."

2. On a related note, those same people mentioned above are always grumbling about democrats and abortion.  Then they go on to suggest we're baby killers.  They miss the point completely.  For example I'm a democrat but I hate abortion.  Having said that I realize it's a woman's choice to decided what to do with her body-not my choice-or anyone else's.  That's the point-choice.  But again, you can't fix stupid.

3.  Continuing with the Texas disaster-this morning a woman was interviewed and sobbing that she just couldn't understand how we could do something so remarkable as put a rover on Mars yet not provide the state of Texas with electricity.  The journalist missed an opportunity to educate the woman.  The answer to her question is that the Mars mission was a scientific achievement.  The Texas disaster is the result of political (read republican) incompetence and greed.  Take a look at your corrupt U.S. Senator Ted Cruz!  Thank God he wasn't running the Mars mission.  The rover would have ended up in Aruba!
