MAYBE I’M AMAZED
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…….that Mayor Bloomberg of New York might have been correct when he campaigned against the Big Gulp sodas. He was criticized big time but he might have a point. Consider this: 28 % of all adult Americans drink 2 to 8 soft drinks a day. I drink one Diet in the mornings in lieu of coffee to jump start the old brain matter but 2 to 8? Yikes! I mean what in the world is up with that?
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that when there is a high profile bill in Congress, like the Affordable Health Care Act there are at least 9 lobbyists to one lawmaker on the issue. And we wonder why they all seems dazed and confused in Washington.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the average age of a U.S. Congress person is 57. The average age of the Congressional staffer is 28. Can anyone say age difference?
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that Kathie Lee Gifford and her husband, football and broadcast legend Frank Gifford have the same birthday on August 16th. Frank is 82 And she is 59. Thought I’d throw that in since we’re talking about age differences. A 23 year age difference. You go old boy!!!!!
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…….that when I think of guys like Mitt Romney and Donald Trump, the old quote from the late Dorothy Parker comes to mind. She said, “If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at who he gave it to”.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…….that if you like your sleep with the least interruptions, you should move to Delaware. The most sleep disturbances according to a study of Sleep Patterns is in West Virginia. Take me home country roads my foot!
MAYBE I’M AMAZED………that an exotic dancer tried to write off breast enhancement surgery as a deduction. The IRS said yes. Conversely, a lawyer who tried to write off $65,000 worth of visits to prostitutes claiming the money as a medical expense, was denied. I can’t understand that because strippers and lawyers are so much alike in terms of morality!
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…… that in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada you can buy a cognac infused hot dog for $100.00. The footling is said to be firm, plump, delicious and designed to make you happy. But nothing can beat the foot longs at The House of Abraham at the corner of Shoemaker Ave back road and 8th Street in West Wyoming as you head out to Frances Slocum State Park.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED……that I understand politicians still buy drinks for patrons in bars. If they were smart in the summer, they’d head out to a place like Curly Cream in Plains and buy everyone a small cone. The lines there in the summer are incredible, the ice cream is the best in the area and I’m surprised no one has thought about it.
MAYBE I M AMAZED……that an Urban, Steve Senior is taking the lead in the push to take another look at reassessment in Luzerne County. Urban voted for it when he was a Commissioner and he might be able to bring some expertise to the table on this issue.
MAYBE I'M AMAZED.........that even though it was the pre-season, the Cleveland Browns beat my Packers the other night. Let's hope this was a tune up.

Maybe I am amazed that you have such disrespect for the writing that you can't proofread your scribbles.
in West Wyoming as you head out to Frances Slocum apart.
Just what is the "apart"?

O.K. lets look ...shall we
Fox News - 2 days ago
Paul Ryan has a net worth of about $4.5 million and earned at least ... President Barack Obama's net worth hovers around $11.8 million
Hey 6:20AM, one mistake and you pounce on it. Was the porn channel too boring this Saturday morning? I guess you needed something to do with your hands.
Dorothy Parker was an interesting
character and truly a great wit.
Aggie 95 is a moron with no wit who prior to seeing that quote probably never heard of Parker.
Look at it this way, Ag, Ryan is just starting out. I'm sure 4.5 million is just for starters. Keep watchin Fox, Aggie, they'll shoot ya straight and give you the news you wanna hear whether its true or not. I heard a lady say Ryan was a hunk. I agree but not on a hunk of what!

If I was to spend more than a brief glance at this blog I am sure I could find many more. It's not that it's a big deal but it takes so little to do it right.
What porn channel do you refer to? You seem to have some expertise in the matter.

Yep your right I had never heard the quote but I take it you take offense in the application of said theory or principle to obama or can I assume the evil rich are only evil if its Republicans and you seem to imply that obama's earning years are over.....I understand billy jeff clinton is worth close to 100 million .....most of it earned AFTER he left the presidency ..... so how much will obama be worth in the coming years ....100 million .....200 million ....obama's rich .....and will soon be really really really rich .....perhaps even surpassing the evil rich Romney
Hey Ag,
Capitalize the Presidents name as a a sign of respect for the office.
You neednt capitalize republican.
I am truly not a fan of Bill or in fact President Obama, but I always felt even George Bush deserved to be referred to as President Bush. Again you demonstrate your low class lack of respect or sensibilities. Keep posting it only demonstrates the point.
Hey 1:50PM, I am so sorry that I did not respond to your post sooner. But I was very busy reading one of your books, and reading your daily blog. Oh wait!!! You don't have a daily blog!!!
My misteak. (Beat me up on that word you.........)
8:54PM.........
I think the word you were looking for was "ass wipe".
Ya Dottie Parker it was. Bet she was a fun drunk.
