Quarantined

By the way, our traveling TB patient isn't the only citizen who is under mandatory quarantine, there's also a guy in Arizona, who also refused to wear his mask. They have this guy in jail. Jail. A guest of Sheriff Joe Arpio. This patient has made a habit ticking off his guards. The guards, who usually deal with murders and rapists and assailants of all levels, have countered by taking away his "privileges" meaning his phone, tv, and computer. Last I heard, those were returned to him, but given this guy is probably a jerk, who knows how long he'll be allowed to keep them. What a country.

Shame on CNN

Cnn International just announced the name of the world traveling TB patient, you won't find the name here. That is not the business of the public, announcing the flight number would have been enough for people to look out for themselves. Yes the man did the wrong thing, but let's not plaster his name and prom picture around the world. What did they hope to get done by doing that? That's not news, it's pandering.

More TV

I watched NCIS again tonight, an episode entitled "Twisted Sister" It came before "Cover Story" and upset me less. I was more than half expecting it. I'm pretty sure that Kluger is using his ghost writing gig as some sort of cheap cathartic therapy.

Kluger used to brag about working on "As Time Goes By" he told me that he'd written the episodes involving the character Lionel writing a mini-series. He described the scripts to me. I think he also wrote the episode entitled "The Stalker" but on that one I'm only guessing. Okay, so I'm more than guessing...everyone out there who thinks they're doing me a favor by having me watched, I'd appreciate it if you would watch this episode. Please ask yourselves, whose made a jerk out of whom?

Dell

Does anybody remember the Dell computers having a problem with their batteries? As I recall, they used to blow up. On one occasion, a guy who was going fishing, with his laptop, left the laptop in his truck when it blew, destroying the truck as well. Nobody was injured. Anyway, the guy was very funny, as he stood outside his ruined truck and told the story. When anyway Dell had lost some business, and now for the first time in its history, will be selling its computers at Wal-Mart. That's nice. It's also very lucky that the Clintons no longer have official ties to Wal-Mart, otherwise I might have been suspicious.

What's up with this?

What's going on over at GE? They just sold off their plastics department to the Saudis, and it seems they're going to use the money from the sale to buy back shares of itself. Basically, they're going to pump up the stock price, but to what end? And is Steven Kluger looking for a job?

By the by, why isn't the Sandy Berger thing a bigger story? You remember Berger, he got caught removing sensitive documents, some of which regarded Clinton's handling of terrorism, or lack there of, and taking them, where, home? Why isn't that a big deal? Why is it that Clinton and those associated with the Clintons don't go to jail for obstruction of justice? Who knows what was in those papers that he stuffed into his socks? Who knows the human cost of that act? I think we should muster a little disapproval, if not actual outrage.

World Bank

So with the World Bank looking for a new head it seems feelers are being put out to draft Bill Clinton for the position. It would make sense, as I'd never heard of Wolfiwitz until he took off his shoes and exposed his over-worn socks to the world. Although personally, I thought he'd be used to replace Gonzales, I suppose time will tell...

I missed my exit off the freeway today. I'd been distracted by others and their attention getting behaviors, and I turned around at Fort Myers. In doing so, I happened to ditch the surveillance team. They thought I'd gone onto the base, and didn't try to follow. I'd be sorry to hear of phone calls being made, trying to track me down, people, even those on military bases, have other things to do. I wasn't trying to be sneaky, I leave that to others. I just made a U turn, and went back to the freeway. For a while, they didn't follow.

In case you were wondering, I was found again later in the afternoon. I was warned, before the scene stared. I was having a drink and a nibble on the patio of a place near the Potomac. I really don't understand the benefit in causing a scene, or just randomly complaining loudly so that others can't enjoy their Sunday afternoon. With all of my difficulties, I just can't imagine being that insecure. I feel real pity for those cowardly bullies. When you think about it, they really are sad. Poor things.

Hillary needs a song?

Hillary Clinton wants everybody's help to chose a song...she's put nine choices up on her website to help you help her chose. Isn't that nice. It seems we women don't even know our own minds. She left off Merle Haggard's "Let's Put a Woman in Charge" off the list. Merle Haggard wrote and recorded that song special for her, and she doesn't see fit to include it on a list of choices for her campaign. I agree that Haggard is not the sort who would be considered sexy, not by city standards, but the guy's a living legend. He's had 40 number one hits, he's in the Country Music Hall of Fame, he's seriously influenced music for decades! His music is in the homes of millions of Americans. Yet the song he produced special for Hillary Clinton doesn't make the cut. I suppose having ten choices instead of nine was deemed too many. I don't know if the campaign actually commissioned the song or not, but as Haggard, his talent, his sweat, was disrespected by an ungrateful Hillary Clinton, I certainly hope he was paid for his time, his trouble, and the insult.
