SOME QUESTIONS ASKED AT LIBRARIES ARE STUPID

This picture has nothing to do with this post. My brother Howard and my sister-in-law Eleanor are eating something very unhealthy. They live much too far from me. Their lunch looks good though.

There is so much stupidity in the news and so much bad news I thought I would share some and then post something to illustrate the direction humanity is headed.

Bad news first:

Ø - Californians can no longer buy less expensive ammunition on line or through the mail. We know criminals will obey this as they obey all laws. Liberal nonsense!

Ø - Governor Moonbeam Brown is now in charge. Look for higher taxes and more criminals coddled.

Ø - The left wing media: NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR have stepped further to the left. That does make FOX look right even though they are slightly left of center.

Ø - Gas prices are going up but it is not a news story as there is a Democrat in the White House.

Now something funny.
