THIS PAGE LAST UPDATED 02-22-2010 Humorous Observations of the Obvious by Greg Williamson (c) 2010 ... and beyond! (Like me, this is a work in progress!)
COMPUTERS
GOVERNMENT & POLITICS
It's Snow Use (FEB 2010) In the face of ever mounting evidence against global warming, President Obama has ordered federal agencies to reduce carbon output and has started a new government agency to study global warming. While I am not the least bit surprised by his stubborn allegiance to the alarmists -- including Al Gore -- who are getting rich peddling global warming snake oil, I find it very interesting indeed that all this comes during a winter of record snowfall in D.C. and surrounding areas.
TransObvious (JAN 2010) As reported by OneNewsNow on 1-7-2010, President Obama made what is "perhaps the first-ever transgender appointment in a U.S. presidential administration" -- a man who underwent a sex-change operation to become a woman. His/her name? Amanda (as in "a man -- duh").
GM = Gross Morals (JAN 2010)
Isn't it interesting that the automaker taken over by the federal
government -- that is, General Motors -- was
rated by the Parents
Television Council as one of the worst TV sponsors of 2009,
based on their support of programming that included "
Taking a Gamble (JAN 2010) About once a month I send out a mass e-mailing and sometimes hear back with a request to be removed from my distribution list. After sending out a message critical of Obama, I received a reply from a lady who said she was a very strong supporter of President Obama, thank you very much. However, I found it more than a little ironic that her e-mail address/name (I've forgotten which) included the word "Gamble" -- since, in my opinion, supporting Obama is a losing bet!
Hang 'Em High (JAN 2010) I was on Christmas vacation (Dec 2009) with my family when the story of the "UndyBomber" was breaking. We were visiting the B&O Railroad Museum, in downtown Baltimore, and were at the museum snack shack. The black lady working the cash register was somewhat loudly voicing her opinion about terrorists on American soil. "We should go back to the old days," she said, "and lynch all of 'em." My goodness. What would Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton say to that? (My response? I offered to supply the rope.)
LIFE IN GENERAL
A Botched Healing (FEB 2010) Infamous "faith healer" Benny Hinn has been defeated by his toughest foe: his wife. In response to her filing for divorce after 30 years of marriage, "Hinn's ministry released a statement saying, 'Although Pastor Hinn has faithfully endeavored to bring healing to their relationship, those efforts failed.'" (source) Talk about a Freudian slip!
Killer Software (JAN 2010) I was searching the internet for some children's learning games and came across a site with quite a few games, including one titled "Trapped: The Abduction." The summary description reads: "Help! I'm trapped in a house by a serial killer!" But, hey, it must be okay since, after all, the website has the "family friendly site" seal of approval.
CBS: Creatures Beyond our solar System OR Come Beam us up, Scotty (JAN 2010) I just noticed that the "all-seeing-eye" known as the CBS logo can easily be duplicated and arranged so as to look like an alien:
Starved for Coffee (JAN 2010) A multi-state (national?) coffee house has gotten into the giving spirit with their "Brew Unto Others" campaign. For every pound of coffee purchased, they will donate a pound of coffee to the local food pantry. Funny, I always thought hungry people need food more than they need coffee. Silly me.
