Observations

Looking at some entries in my old "Joe Reads the News" blog, I find lots of comments from Arabs.. most of it in Arabic, but a little in English.  They say they like the blog... I wonder why.



To take my mind off of some sad things this last week.. I will try to obtain catharsis by mentioning things in the recent news cycles that appear weird to me.

But, before that, let me quote a famous philosopher:

"People say, 'I'm going to sleep now,' as if it were nothing.  But it's really a bizarre activity.  'For the next several hours while the sun is gone, I'm going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand.  When the sun returns,, I will resume my life.'  If you didn't know what sleep was and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie,  you would think it was weird and tell all  your friends about the movie you'd seen."  George Carlin



                                                                      Think about it!

Are we in Kansas yet, Toto?

Using the forensic talents of the FBI, the famous ruby slippers from The Wizard Of Oz movie were recovered and returned to the Minnesota museum where they were stolen 13 years ago.

That reminds me of a great recent cartoon  that showed Trump as the Wizard, but with the curtain behind him opened enough to show Putin manipulating Trump's strings.



No poopie on the floor, Chickie.

It had to happen.  Recently, people have begun to keep chickens as pets.  So, an enterprising lady in New Hampshire has opened a business selling cloth diapers for chickens.



Famous Hoaxer Dies... maybe.

Alan Abel died in October.  He was a hoaxer extraordinaire!  Some of his hoaxes were:

He founded SINA (the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals, whose motto was: A nude horse is a rude horse.  The stated goal of the society was to clothe any animal "that stands higher than 4 inches or is longer than 6 inches."

He founded Omar's School for Beggars in New York City.  This was designed for the newly poor to  learn the "tricks of the trade."



He started the First Topless String Quartet (Bach with Breasts.)

In 1980, he faked his own death.  Fake grieving widow; fake undertaker; fake obituaries.  He "rose from the dead" a little while later.  However, he was now afraid that if he were to really die, nobody would believe it. (We'll see.)



Interfaith Hypocricy

Recently, famous sycophant, Mike Pence, made a big show of meeting with a "rabbi" to honor the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.  As usual, Mike showed his true feelings, because the "rabbi" was Loren Jacobs, a Messianic Jew, who tries to convert Jews to Christianity.
