Here we are again all riled up with dreams of bountiful oil supplies! It's just a matter of time when the big V8 SUVs with the tiny drivers and their big egos start to plow their way across 2 lanes of roadway.
Watch as the auto industry drops its efficient car program and jumps into the gas guzzler bandwagon.
Make hybrid cars ... wha? Moi? That's just for show! They never were serious about it anyway. It's all just so they can comply with some government program that they are indeed developing "cleaner" cars. D'oh!
Speaking of hybrid cars. They sure are butt ugly! No wonder people don't buy them! Design one that looks like a normal looking Audi or a Mercedes and they will sell like hotcakes!

Master of the Universe
All our boys are giving up their lives to subdue
Some "terror" halfway around the world.
Pulled out from their lives of productivity
Sent to sow destruction on some foreign land.
Armed with bullets and family pictures.
All because there was a nagging oily itch
On the derrière of the one and only
Master of the Universe.

Taxation
it's tax season again . . .
forgive my ignorance but why is it that we pay
for sales tax when the government
already takes the taxes
before they give us our money? weird!

Get Real!
The average TV viewers' IQ has just gone down! Just look at all the TV shows that clog the networks of every major TV station and you'll agree with my opening statement.
Tonight, they're showing 3 consecutive reality TV shows on NBC5 Chicago. When it gets to this point where the only way that TV executives can lure viewers is to create these shows, then you know that it's time to get either a satellite TV or a subscription to digital TV. Then you can watch real TV shows without necessarily sacrificing a dip in your viewing intellect.
br>
What's with these shows that attract viewers?
They're "easy" on the brain, that's for sure! What's there to ruminate about somebody putting a big roach in her mouth? That's plain stupid! Even a moron can figure that out! And what about these dating games? Would you want to marry one of these scheming, whining, hypocritical people who have the gall to wash their laundry in public? These "Made in TV" pairings never seem to work out anyway. The last one about this Joe $$ guy looked like he was really screwed when the verdict was out on who he was going to marry. Boy! Did he really look f#@$d up! You'd think that he was going to puke.
Viewers also love reality drama. That's understandable. However, is it really that "real"? Can you really let it all out in front of 10 million TV viewers? Talk about drama, just give the participants some baseball bats and have them whack each other. That is, after they whack the show producers on their heads first for being so stupid when they can't even be morons!
Maybe all the other non-reality TV shows are really crappy. Has there been any TV show in the major networks that you really, really like? Aside from the news, there's Fraser, which is still funny after all these years. ER used to be OK but the concept got a little old when the original stars started jumping ship. Jeez! I think that's it! All the other good shows are on cable and not in the major networks! There does not seem to be any TV show nowadays that has a really revolutionary or innovative concept. Most of them seem to play on one another's tired concept.
On the production side, it seems like reality TV shows are cheaper because they don't have to hire high-caliber actors. When you're aching for publicity, go to some reality TV and embarass yourself. The public will love you and the network bean counters will shower you with pocket change. You get the publicity, they get the moolah. Of course, all these is at the participants' expense. You can't scrape your respect from the sidewalk with a nickel ...
So, my friends. TV is doomed. Reality TV shows have laid claim to what little attention we have left. It's a sad fate ...
Now give me that remote and surf over to Bravo and let's watch some foreign films!

Day of Sorrow
The space shuttle Columbia has just disintegrated.
Our sorrows pile up before we can even recover
from our past misfortunes.

Microwave Junkie
Here's a short poem I gave to a friend to exult her most excellent culinary skills!
Zooper-dooper - Master of all Matter
Awesome zapper of Eskimo dinner
Out of the fridge in a nanosecond flat
Shove it in the zapper box with a splat.
One . . . two . . . three, the magnetron hums
As you anxiously await the yummy yums.
Gee Mom! Cooking sure is easy --
All it takes is my zapper and a strong tummy!

In Memoriam
And when I die . . .
Let your eyes be as parched,
As the Kalahari desert sands.
For your tears only leaden the burden
Of the aches and troubles that I'll shed.
For where I go, these temporal ills
That plague my body and devastate my spirit
Shall forever be just a passing sigh
In the threads spun by Destiny.
And when I die . . .
Let your eyes sparkle with exultation
For my release from this finite shell
Of flesh, blood, and bone.
Consign this amazing vessel of my soul
To the cleansing Fires and grace my ashes
A mighty Roman candle whence on a clear night
In dazzling brilliance I embrace the sky
Return to Nature that which is Hers.
And when I die . . .
Fill the vacuum of my absence
With joyful memories of my childhood follies,
Pubescent romances and adult eccentricities.
Taint them not with your grief and anxiety
For our existence has e'er been in our minds
Where together our destinies mingle.
And in the swirls of memories that suffuse
Your mind -- placate . . . and my spirit liberate.
Let your eyes be as parched,
As the Kalahari desert sands.
For your tears only leaden the burden
Of the aches and troubles that I'll shed.
For where I go, these temporal ills
That plague my body and devastate my spirit
Shall forever be just a passing sigh
In the threads spun by Destiny.
And when I die . . .
Let your eyes sparkle with exultation
For my release from this finite shell
Of flesh, blood, and bone.
Consign this amazing vessel of my soul
To the cleansing Fires and grace my ashes
A mighty Roman candle whence on a clear night
In dazzling brilliance I embrace the sky
Return to Nature that which is Hers.
And when I die . . .
Fill the vacuum of my absence
With joyful memories of my childhood follies,
Pubescent romances and adult eccentricities.
Taint them not with your grief and anxiety
For our existence has e'er been in our minds
Where together our destinies mingle.
And in the swirls of memories that suffuse
Your mind -- placate . . . and my spirit liberate.
