But we can still walk up a hell of a lot of stairs and see for miles if we want to do it.
And we don’t even need a space suit!
But it sure would be nice to have a tube of oxygen and a portable defibrillator just in case.

Sin is geographical. ~Bertrand Russell
It’s time we have a talk boys and girls. And I know you wonder why I call you boys and girls when you haven’t been in the third grade for at least a couple of decades.
And you have understood about life and where baby rabbits come from for a good while too. And if you are so old you can’t remember the names of all the characters in Bambi I can sympathize with you.
Because I can’t remember any of their names either including Bambi’s.
So let’s get down to business and talk about gas prices. Because they are pretty high and maybe going a lot higher.
Why is that sisters and brothers?
Because.
Because we want them that way. And before you have a fit and start beating your head against the desk let me say that I am not talking about you personally. Or me either for that matter. I am talking about the “We” in the Declaration of Independence. As in “We the People” decided when we elected certain people that we wanted high gas prices. And the higher the better.
Are Teddy Kennedy or Joe Biden going to vote for legislation that will ease the regulatory burden so more refineries can be built? Because the bottleneck caused by too few refineries (especially after a hurricane or two!) keeps gas prices high. Are these guys and their friends going to vote for oil drilling in Alaska so the supply of oil can be increased?

It’s time to take a look at the world before it cracks open and some of it disappears. Because that’s what is happening in Nevada. We have written about this before and suggested that land speculators were invading this state and looking for beach front property bargains.
Because there surely are going to be some as scientists say a 4.7 earthquake hit the Reno area Friday night and a 6.0 earthquake would “not be a scientific surprise”.
This is the first time your aged reporter has heard about “scientific surprise”. He always thought science was based on predictability. If it’s a surprise don’t blame science.
But predicting earthquakes is not a science I guess so maybe they should just leave science out of it and say “Surprise!”
And “Put on a helmet” and “Grab your ankles and kiss yourself goodbye” (I left out part of the directions because not everyone is capable of following all the steps.
What else is going on for the survivors among us? We must carry on even as we wave good-bye to Arnold and his subjects as they float out to sea.
Presidential Candidate Barack Obama doesn’t want to debate Hillary before the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.
Why? Possibly because he wanted to drink a cyanide cocktail after debating her the last time. And for those of you who may scoff at this let me ask a question. Have YOU ever debated Hillary? It’s not exactly like taking a walk in the park with your old girlfriend who still loves you.
Probably you never did that either.
Let’s just give Osama I mean Obama a break here. He does not want to go into the Heart of Darkness again. You only get so many chances to go in there and come out alive.
He needs his freaking mind to debate McCain. He can’t lose it now! She will take all his marbles and mail them back to him after the election.
You can’t look at that woman’s eyes on television without feeling dizzy. Imagine what it’s like in person when she’s ten feet away standing on a podium and the lights are heating things up.
Her head can do a 360 just like the kid in the Exorcist.
She wants to wait and use that on McCain. But if she has to do it now she will.

BTW here is the video of last night’s White House Correspondents Dinner in case you don’t already know enough about the derangement syndromes of our various politicians and media guys and girls.
And finally President Assad of Syria said yesterday that the structure the Israelis bombed last September was not part of a nuclear weapons program.
It was a Welcome Center for Israelis who want to emigrate to Syria.
Sad. You hate to see something as nice as that destroyed. It can be awfully hot traveling in the desert.
But there is an additional report coming out of Syria right now! Let’s see if we can pick it up. Apparently….
Mr. Assad’s pants..
Have caught on fire. Yes. That’s what it says. His pants have caught on fire.
What could this mean? I don’t know. But we will try to find out. Tune in next time.
