let us stretch your credulity

Your scribe always writes in longhand ( illegible cursive ) and checks it out hours later for corrections and improvements. Two blogs in the last two weeks did not live up to my standards of excellence. Hence the prolonged silence.

However, I have once again found a subject worthy of a blog. Looking ahead on my kitchen calendar I discovered yet another important date of which I was completely unaware. Please mark on your calendar the 28Th of June. Some one (I cannot imagine who does these things ) has designated that day as TAKE YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY. It's true. I swear it is.

This special day creates several problems for me and perhaps for some others. Where would I take my dog since I retired some years ago ? Also, I don't own a dog. Perhaps I could borrow one but where would I take him/her*? It is indeed a conundrum.


*Isn't that him/her or he/she repulsive? I put it in just to tease my readers.

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP

I was bemused , shocked and disgusted to note that the week of May 15/21 is NATIONAL DOG BITE PREVENTION WEEK. I, of course, will do all I can to avoid being bitten during this time and I strongly recommend that you do the same.

However, I wonder what congressperson introduced this bill and why they did so. Much better would have been NATIONAL MOSQUITO BITE PREVENTION WEEK. Perhaps some officious legislator will come up with that next. Whoever it might be will certainly get my vote.

This sort of rubbish is more common than one might think. Our state legislators are not immune to stupidity. Every state seems to have a state flower and a state bird. I cannot imagine why. However, this at least does serve an important purpose. Where would our trivia games be without such nonsense.

IS OSAMA REALLY DEAD/

Why is it that so many questions arise when the Fed does anything ? Here are a few things I would like to know.





1) Did Pakistan know where Bin Laden was for the last 6 or 7 years?


2) Did Pakistan know we were coming to get him ?


3) Was the mission to kill or capture Bin Laden ? Did he resist or endanger the seals ?


4)What was the object of disposing of the body so quickly ? Why did they honor him with an honorable burial ? Was it really him that they dumped ?


5) What's with the photos ? Why not release them ?


6)What happened to the other men in the compound ? Should they not also have been captured for interrogation ? Should we not have interrogated the women also ?





These and so many other questions are about, casting doubt on the entire operation. Is Osama really dead or maybe being held in some secret place for further interrogation ?
