Ron Paul's Fort Knox paranoia proves that legal mari*uana is key to the future of cheap, political entertainment..

Ron Paul is worried that the Treasury officials have swindled Fort Knox and sold it to foreign powers. Either that, or he worries they are just about to do that. So, he wants tax payers to spend millions of dollars to make sure that the taxpayers don't end up losing millions of dollars.

Don't get cynical on me

Now I know there are some of you that are quite cynical out there. You are probably thinking that all that fracking residue from the natural gas harvested in Texas must be making Paulie look a little crazy.

A few of you are blaming the summer heat.

I hear that some of you think he is just like any other politician and will muddle any issue just to pander to his base, in this case the paranoid people at the "Tea Party" who think he is their "God Father" but have no idea about tea parties and mobs...

Some others among you are just being quite annoying talking about his independent wealth and how this "alternative to the mainstream" guy managed to get his son to become a Congressman as well..dynasty, what?

Very few realize the truth!

The truth, beyond the marijuana smokescreen

The truth is, we need entertainment. Yes, we have Palin and Bachman on one side and Joe Biden, equipped with his on-air F-bombs on the other. But we can't get enough...we are so stoned bored, we can't take regular jokes.

And in "these times of strife", with December 21, 2012 fast approaching, and Obama rapidly spreading our wealth, we need someone to say something so stupid funny that we sit upright and cry laugh...

This can only be achieved if our politicians and their donors are able to access marijuana for "medical" reasons (never mind the fact that there is no cure for what they have) and enthrall us.

Understanding this, Ron Paul stands for the legalization of medical marijuana. It took me a few days to wait for the smoke from his puffs to clear before I understood why he wishes to do this..

This way he can quickly come up with more entertaining paranoid ideas that prove that big government is bad, and the world can only be saved by people from Texas, as was proved from 2001 to 2008! All this needs and could use some "medical", er, "help"....

I can't wait for when we legalize Heroine and Crystal Meth, for medical uses that is!

Proposing a blasphemous alternative

A cheap alternative to counting the gold billets at Fort Knox?

Finding out if people in the Congress and Senate have a collective IQ that exceeds 100...

Revisiting great poetry...Daffodils

Just because...I have always wanted to revisit some of my most favorite poems. Here is "Daffodils" by the eternal Wordsworth, one of my all-time favorites. I still know most of the paragraph, "For oft, when on my couch I lie..."

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

The world may be on fire, but heck let's talk about how my iPhone made me miss Yoga

I always figured that people who pay premium for a brick and think they are part of an innovation must have an element of genius (yeah, that is the adjective I wanted to use, right?!). Now, they seem to be struck with selflessness too.

That's right - they are selfless. All their energy is focused on the damn phony.

First of all, I use my phone as an alarm clock too - but because of all the am/pm jazz, I try to double-check my alarm. And yeah, you have been informed, no matter what happens we cannot stop clocking time backwards and forwards even if it makes us look like idiots. Instead of getting rid of the system Congress messed around with the dates - bravo!

Any normal person would double check the calendar and appointments, but....

In come our iPhone users. So the clock wakes them up late, and the first thing they do is.. go on twitter and yap away...missed my church, missed my yoga...yeah right, good for Yoga!

Not to be outdone, other iPhone owning, tweeting crazies went on the defensive. This proves the point - if you have enough money to spare for an expensive brick, you have so many important things to do...

And on top of that, this just had to be listed as news, right?

For more on this nonsense...

And in today's "What the dickens" - woman who wants to save the world from extinction abducts 4!

That's right, you read the title! You can read the story as reported in Mercury News, and it reads like a January's fool kinda news story. Here is a slice lifted from the article "kidnapping, false imprisonment, evading police, reckless evasion, resisting arrest and violating a red light into a one-way tunnel".

In case you are wondering what all that is - those are the charges they made while arresting, what might turn out to be a very interesting character named Lark Ann Freeman.

It appears that Lark here calls her profession "saving the world".This summarily the ends the search for someone more egotistical than men who wear white frocks...

As part of her strategy to save the world, which apparently was to end yesterday..and thank God, this blog is still here, ha ha, she decided to kidnap 4 men. She managed to tell three of them that she would pay them money to help her move, and naturally they got into a van operated by a total stranger. The last one - well he was guaranteed a free smoke.

I am not sure exactly how she planned to use these 4 geniuses to save the world from ending, but if she was going to clean the world off stupid people, 4 at a time, being an idiot herself didn't seem to have helped. On what was not such a routine stop involving her straddling lanes, she rammed through a one-way tunnel the wrong way and when she finally stopped...

Number One to the rescue!

That's right - except not the number one you are thinking of. Lark wasn't alone, and together with her passengers she refused to get out when asked to do so. In the meanwhile, the 74 year old guy who succumbed to the desire for a free cigarette decided he couldn't hold it anymore and decided to get out of the cab and apart from letting go, also reveal that there were three more captors in the U-Haul truck...

The questions

While we can all rest easy that Ms. Lark and Co. will not be saving us at least this weekend while she is held on bail, I am sure you, like me have several questions...

1. Why is it okay to get into a stranger's van, just because she is a woman? Sexist and stupid? Yes, granted, the fact that she had a U-Haul van did make it look like she moves..

2. When one of the captives tried calling 911, they were unable to get the call across - what is with that?

3. How did this woman get a license? How did she manage to rent a U-Haul truck? Where do nut jobs like this get their money for all this - I would like to know - the saving the world business does seem to be pretty lucrative till you start straddling lanes and running red lights on the opposite side of one way tunnels...

4. Was this all just a PR-exercise. And if so, what is the point?
