Hail to the Chief
Well, it's finally over! The longest presidential campaign in the history of our country is over and it's official. Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the Unites States. During his acceptance speech last night, he said his daughters have earned the right to get a new puppy they can bring with them to the White House. My guess is that President Obama will be laying down the "NewYork Post" and "Washington Times" while training that puppy. If you voted for Obama because you wish to see change, remember the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for". At any rate, congratulations to the President-Elect. He did run an good campaign. Let's see what he does. I have a lot of friends who are professional comedians, some have names you would recognize. I talk to them online almost everyday. Politically, they're all over the place. Some are Democrats. Some are Republicans. Some are conservative. Some are left-wing nuts. The one thing they ALL agree on is that there will be no shortage of comedy material over the next four years, especially with comedian Joe Biden in the White House.Some interesting little tid-bits of information concerning today's date: Happy Birthday to Tatum O'Neal, 45 years old today. Singer Bryan Adams is 49 and the lovely actress Elke Sommer is 68 (or at least claims to be). On this date, way back in 1492, natives of what is now known as Cuba introduced Christopher Columbus to corn. However, he was very disappointed. He thought they said, "Porn".Medical news this morning: The University of Colorado conducted a study and determined that women have more bacteria on their hands than men do. They don't know why. But this might explain why Michael Jackson always wears one glove. You know, in case he ever has to hold a girl's hand in public. He does like to practice safe hand-holding.Also, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle says that if you walk an additional 3,500 steps per day, you could lose between 5 to 9 pounds per year. So, if you want to lose weight, take a walk, assuming you're not walking to Burger King.I'm still putting stuff together for tomorrow morning. I can tell you this, the city of Miami, Florida is celebrating the fact that they did not have one single murder the entire month of October. Isn't that the same month O. J. Simpson got convicted and jailed? Hmmmmmm.Also, I'll be joined by Brandy Henderson from the Friends Fur Life Pet Sanctuary.Great news concerning the abandoned puppy found in the parking lot of Bloom Sunday night (mentioned in the previous entry). The puppy has been adopted. My thanks to all of you who responded.Talk to you tomorrow.
