Or it's something that sounds ridiculous---Like the theft of 5 paintings from the museum in Paris, 5 paintings that are supposedly worth about $631 million dollars? That is ridiculous! That can't be real, but I believe everything, so I believe that some people would pay millions for a damn painting. I've visited many museums, looked at wonderful paintings, some by master artists, but I can't remember any of the ones I saw. Hanging on my living room wall is a wonderful desert landscape, beautifully done, and showcased in a beautiful wooden frame. Whenever we have people over, they always compliment the painting, and we tell them it cost us thirty dollars at the Salvation Army store, tax free. We could buy more than twenty-one million such paintings for the price of the 5 ones stolen from the Paris museum! So let's get REAL now, those stupid paintings are not worth the money!
For sale, One Million Dollars!
(or best offer)
I'd rather pay $20 dollars for 2 Tylenols if I was in the hospital-at least I could get rid of my headache, now that would be worth the money! But still, it's smarter to buy them on sale in the drug store, where I can get a bottle of 40 for ten dollars.
You know what pises me off a lot? The price of cold cuts at the deli counter; they are all overpriced. Yesterday I was in Publix, and my wife bought ham @ $8.89 a pound! At the same counter they were selling sliced chicken or turkey for $8.29/lb. That is nonsense, I just got boneless, skinless, more healthy chicken cutlets for $1.99 a pound! Where is the value in this shopping trip? Even at those crazy prices, people were lined up to buy cold cuts along with tiny jars of spicy mustard for $4.69-holy ripoff!
Can you believe the furor in the United States over illegal immigrants? I can, these illegals suck down millions of our tax dollars every day. We have to get a grip on it. But I hope we do without plunging the country into civil war! Imagine Arizona threatening the city of Los Angeles with cutting off their electricity! Well, the city of Los Angeles said it is boycotting all companies that are from Arizona, too. I hope we don't get to the point that Thailand is in right now, where unhappy government protesters set fire to the Stock Market, banks, one of the largest shopping malls in Asia, and many other businesses, as well as getting over 75 people killed in the local rioting since late March. The financial markets and banks are closed for 4 days or more over there right now due to the mayhem. The protesters didn't need guns, bombs, or tanks, only matches! Could shit like that happen in the US? I believe everything, so I think "Yes".
South Korea proved that North Korea torpedoed their warship and killed almost 50 sailors. Everybody saw the proof. But North Korea says they didn't do it, and if they get any kind of punishment because of it, they will go to all-out war with South Korea, and other enemies. I believe everything, so I think that it will happen; I read that the United States is preparing for this eventual war, and that we have 3 aircraft carriers standing by in the vicinity. I believe that too.
That damn oil spill disaster! Every time they mention it in the news, they say that the size of it is more than previously claimed! EVERY TIME? Does it keep spilling more and more at a time, is the pace of the leaking oil increasing continuously? I believe everything, so I do think it keeps getting worse and worse!
Is it going to ruin the economy of the entire country even more? I believe everything, so YES it is! Will it kill many generations of marine live and destroy the wetlands and beaches too? I believe that it will. Are special interest groups profiting from the massive cleanup process? I believe they are. Pass it all on to the working people any way you can! Will it take 20 years to make it go away? MAYBE IT WILL.....I didn't hear that one yet, but if I do, I'll believe that too.
New, tougher sanctions against Iran---so what, I believe that there will be, but I believe that it won't accomplish what they want, will not stop Iran from pursuing the nuclear weapons. They want to use weapons of mass destruction on all of their enemies. I believe that they are scheming to use cyber attacks against the United States the minute they possibly can, or explode a nuclear device above North America to cause an "electromagnetic pulse" which would plunge the largest part of this continent into the dark ages, no electricity for 5 to 10 years, plus all the havoc that goes with that. I heard that so many times already over the last few years, that I believe it's possible.
It's fashionable these days to blame social netwoking sites, like "Facebook" for all the problems in the world. Some countries, like Pakistan, are blocking internet users from accessing these sites, as they believe that freedom of speech, and freedom of expression is a bad thing, something which underminds their style of government. Can you believe that? I believe that they believe it.
Does it seem to you that all of the economies around the world are connected? It certainly does to me. Why else would everyone in the finance sector be buzzing like they are over other country's fiscal problems? Everyone gets a bailout? Every country, every industry, every special interest group? I think I believe it, but where does all the money come from, anyway?
People are still trying to get on commercial airliners with weapons of all types, like that guy in Puerto Rico yesterday, who had 4 boxcutters and a stun gun in his carryon. I have to fly out of Tampa International in July, and I just read that this airport will be employing the new full body scanners, so fine, I'll make sure I wear my newest underwear that day, have to look my best!
They said they won't be taking pictures of my genitals, I read that in the newspaper, so I believe it. What does TSA stand for again? Ha ha, I'm not going to tell you what I think it means. What do You think?
