Random Thoughts on a Monday

Helen Thoreau fell off of a chair, and layed on the floor for six hours ... if she had Lifeline, she would have been notified and help would have been on the way almost immediately.

When Mrs. Thoreau was asked about the experience, she replied, "Best rest I've had in years."

Politicians are getting lazy. TV ads, telephone calls, they make one recording and thousands of calls are made. I must admit, I'm getting a little sick and tired of them. I tune out the TV ads, can't tell who they are for anyway. In Ohio, Kasich mentions Strickland, his opponent, more  than he mentions his own name, and vice versa.

I honestly believe that certain races are "targeted" and outcomes are pre-determined, i.e., Reid will win in Nevada and Kasich will lose in Ohio. Obama wants Ohio, looking ahead to 2012. So, I would be shocked if Strickland loses, Obama and his band of merry supporters have worked too hard. Joe and Billy and Michelle and the president himself have made many trips to Ohio. Rumor has it that there is a temporary Oval Office set up in Columbus so BO can get some work done.

Charlie Sheen, that's another story. Two bottles of booze, $6500 each, porn star, wife, ex-wife, trash an expensive hotel room, re-hab time for old Charlie, runs in the family.

The press tried to reach the rest of the cast for comment, but no one knew their names or who they were or where they lived. No listing for Charlie's Mom, Charlie's Brother, Charlie's Brother's Kid, Charlie's Housekeeper, the girl who climbs up Charlie's porch, Charlie's Brothers ex-wife, or the tall guy who is married to Charlie's Brother's ex-wife.

Hey, what's in a name?
