331 – Why is it…..

That we have people so gullible, or so incredibly stupid.. that  they can honestly, in their heart, feel like our President and our current government compares to Hitler and Nazism? 
I mean, you can completely disagree with how our government is being run, dislike what our President is doing, and compare him to a dictator who killed over 10 million people?
Complete ignorance? Blind allegiance to a political party?

Back to the gullible part. I’ve had people send me email links to websites and youtube videos that talk about the new healthcare plan. One of them, a video, is so horribly wrong, it’s pathetic! It’s scare mongering. I’m amazed people do this.

If you’re using Windows 7, how would you like 5 free beautiful themes? They’re already on your PC too! Go here to see how to find them.

No big plans for the weekend… but it’s supposed to be VERY cold!

On to something funny:

A Really Bad Day

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.
Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."
"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."
"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

Generous lawyer

A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.
"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um ... no."
The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"
The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.
"or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

I agree. It's also sad when folks post statuses on FaceBook and other sites, helping propagate these scare tactics.

My site's back online now, by the way.

Hi Dave ~~ It is a shame that President Obama faces all the criticism that he does. I am sure he is doing his best and the Health scheme sounded good.
Thanks for your comments and I am glad you liked the Cuckoo clock and your welcome back. Glad you liked the Zen teachings - they were funny
That vacation is getting nearer.
Take care, Regards, Merle.
