Ramblings of an American Madman

Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - just another day in the life of an American madman - oh, probably not the definition of madman you would typically use, but this madman spends time drinking coffee, feeding the birds, laughing at humanity, laughing at himself, grinding out the thoughts that contribute to the madness, not mad in a sense of anger, or even mad in the sense of crazy or insane, but mad as in... oh, hell if I knew what I was writing about I probably would have been to the point by now - mad, crazy, insane, angry, happy, numbly eccentric, yes I like that - what would you call someone wearing Stewie flannel pants, Brunner's Construction long sleeve shirt and a beanie from the Saskatoon Hilltops? Although I guess if I recognize my condition I probably am OK? Right? Soooooooo.... how was your day?

Started the day with, oh I don't know, coffee maybe - my intake didn't seem out of bounds, although my heart rate is just now getting back to a desirable level - pretty mellow day for such a widely observed holiday - President's Day - not really too sure of the purpose, but seems to me at some point didn't we acknowledge both Washington and Lincoln on their respective birthday? Will someone get back to me on the change to a consolidated day of recognition? My crack research staff will probably have an answer before I post this and we can follow up at the end of this moose dribble I call dribble of moose. A little reading today, a short nap followed by an evening walk, some homemade soup with baguette, lovely, watching some Olympics, must be winter Olympics given the time of year - note to self: visit Vancouver B.C. - actually when I win the lottery, not if but when, I will spend about a month in some places I have determined worth spending about a month - Vancouver B.C. is one place, Belfast, N. Ireland is another, oh and about a hundred other places, better win the lottery soon I guess if I am going to visit all of those places - Australia would probably be at least a two month visit - better double up on my lottery tickets because that is also my retirement plan - has to be at least a $20 million dollar win to cover my plans - anyways.

Your faithful news reporter hot on the trail of today's hottest news - Tiger impregnated porn star, wow, sorry after that I kind of lost my thought process on breaking news stories - I know other things probably went on in the world like weather and stuff, sorry, so many questions I want to ask Tiger, dang! Breaking news as it becomes available from your faithful news guy...oh what is the point - Tiger, dang...

Someone asked me the other day if Hambone and Big Larry were real people or just characters I made up to fill in space and make fun of a couple of goofy hillbilly bogan hicks from Southwest Idaho - whoa, whoa whoa - what? No,no, no seriously what?

Just in from my crack research staff - according to Wikipedia Washington is a state and Lincoln is an automobile - President's Day was established in 1985 by K-Mart to discount winter clothing and clear store space for Spring - thank you crack research staff!

If half of the health care costs in this country are covered by government administered programs does that mean we are halfway to socialized health care? Bye flu Bye!
