1) "UNDELIVERANCE" starring Alesky Germash. It seems Alesky failed to deliver some 17,000 pieces of mail going as far back as 2005. There were bags of mail found in his car, work locker and home. He claimed he was just overwhelmed with the volume of mail. The old "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" unless the courier is overwhelmed.
2) In Florida police stopped a woman for a traffic violation. They smelled marijuana in her car and when they checked her purse they found cocaine and marijuana. She told them she hadn't put the drugs in her purse.When asked how they got there she said "The wind blew them in."Like the old song the answer is "Blowin' In By The Wind."
3) There is, yet another, book about the Hillary Clinton campaign. This one was written by Amy Chozick, a New York Times writer, who traveled with the campaign. The book is called, "Chasing Hillary" Ten Years Two Presidential Campaigns and One Intact Glass Ceiling." On election night she is quoted as saying "I knew it. I knew this would happen to me ... They were never going to let me be president." I guess the "They" were the 60 million plus that didn't vote for her.
4) The Sunday News Shows would be improved and a lot more entertaining if both the guest politician and the host were truthful. The host probably would love to reply to the politician's answers "That was the biggest load of blather and tripe I have ever heard." And the politician would respond to the host's question, "Well that was one of your typical biased and weasel questions I've come to expect from you."Could be great. Won't happen.
5) I found this "GEM" in an advice column.
- A person I never liked just passed away. Since I never liked the person is it hypocritical to attend the funeral since everyone expects me to go.
- Going to a person you knew but didn't like's funeral, is NOT hypocritical if you "GLOAT" at the service.
