More dimwit news

Another week - another series of hilarious content that passes off as NEWS!

1. Madoff's (those crooks that wiped the slate clean for many a greedy dolt and MADE OFF) attempted suicide (failed miserably apparently - since they did not buy and follow the instructions in the SUICIDE FOR DUMMIES tome which was available on clearance (at 40% off) since they thought it was a rip off). Perhaps some other fellow bumpkins can take one on one lessons on how not to screw up during the most fantastic part of their lives at the last minute? Can we do a 61 minutes episode on this perhaps?

2. British Royals changed the rules on passing down the crown to include females. Ouch - now here we had Kate prepping with drugs to crank out a series of handsome lads and ding the taxpayers - but again all in vain. Or perhaps she realized the drug companies were doing false advertising?

3. Joblessness in America and a vapid Scott Pelly or Kelly or something is constantly wandering the nation pushing his stupid microphone in the face of people who realized their 401k had vanished and they were thrown out on the street since the promised scratch your ass and we will pay you job now had suddenly vanished. Well guess what Scott - you do not innovate - you die!
Another episode of blame the government then blame the republicans then blame the democrats then blame the neighbors and then occupy any vacant spot in any major metro and scratch your bum!

4. Dogs and squirrels and other nuisance causing creatures shot with BB guns and the brouhaha around how this could happen - even more fancy and meriting a national news mention is a story on a black cat that traveled from Denver to NY or some such lunacy and now is worth discussing during supper.

5. Then came some dimwit half drugged partially retarded sort of movie business personality getting thrown out of AA then out of jail then getting jailed again and now going NUDE! For MONEY! This is headlines people - we need all we can get.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...
