I’m declaring Mrs. Major completely healed. She spent an hour and a half yesterday at the new JoAnne Fabrics store nearby. Though she still has some annoying swelling in her knees, which the Dr. said will subside in a few months, she set a 10 year record for being on her feet.

Here is an actual sign posted at a golf club in Scottsdale:
WELL DONE. NOW, FLUSH THE URINAL, GO OUTSIDE, & TEE OFF.
What Hillary lacked in support for Barack, Bill Clinton supplied. Bill actually endorsed Barack for President. Hillary’s speech was an, “It’s all about me,” speech. Bill’s was, “Obama’s ready to be President,” speech–in spite of all the things he’s slammed Obama during the primaries. Clinton is a pro and he showed it tonight.

An historic moment. The Democrats have nominated the first black1 candidate for the President of the United States of America. Congratulations to the Democrats! I’m proud of you.
I’ve observed two things from the Democratic National Convention: First, they’ve done a good job of teaching the dignitaries to clap in front of their own faces in case they get a close up during ovations. And Second, Bill Clinton is great at mugging for the cameras. When he sees the cameras on him, he breaks into a big smile, gets wet eyed, and when Hillary is speaking, mouths, “I love you,” and shakes his head just so proudly.

Hey Folks, we’re getting a dollar from the State of Florida. They recently settled a lawsuit brought by four people for selling names and addresses of people who licensed their automobiles in Florida. Each person who so registered their vehicle between 1998 and 2004 gets a dollar off their next renewal.
The four who brought the lawsuit get $3000 each.
The lawyers get $2.83 million in fees plus $20,000 in costs.
Which reminds me of a joke. What’s the difference between a lawyer and a carp? One’s a scum-sucking bottom-feeder, the other is a fish.
I found this over at The Point blog. They’re quoting The Eugene, Oregon, Register-Guard:
After her oncologist prescribed a cancer drug that could slow the cancer growth and extend her life, [Barbara] Wagner was notified that the Oregon Health Plan wouldn’t cover the treatment, but that it would cover palliative, or comfort, care, including, if she chose, doctor-assisted suicide. . . .
Are these folks in Oregon crazy?

Although the US is one of the most religious nations in the world, a survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life shows many believe things which contradict their stated faith. 70% of those who claim religious affiliation believe multiple religions can lead to salvation and 68% believe in multiple interpretations of their own religion. 57% of self-identified evangelicals believe multiple religions can lead to salvation. 21% of self-identified atheists believe that some kind of God exists. 80% of respondents believe in moral standards of right and wrong, but only 29% claim their religious teachings help them determine those standards. A copy of the report can be read at www.pewforum.org (SFGate.com June 23, 2008)
