Az I See It....
Prologue: It seems that technical difficulties have prevented any items published for the last few weeks to not be e-mailed to my subscribers. Please check the site for recent items you may have missed. Some were pretty good!
International: Shame on CNN's reporter Fareed Zakaria. In prefacing a recent interview with the President of Rwanda, Zakaria lauded him for 'overcoming the worst genocide in modern history,' while citing the Holocaust for several comparisons! When does this acknowledged muslim think that 'modern history' began, anyway - 1994?....Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is visiting India, this week. Seems she had a laptop PC problem and needed technical advice!....Recent Swedish research reports that marriage is 'good for the mind,' concluding that unmarried, or widowed, people are three times more likely to succumb to dementia or Alzheimer's. However, married men were ten times more likely to wish that they had dementia or Alzheimer's!
National: Citibank and Bank of America posted profits totaling more than $6B for the second quarter of 2009, as they continue to deny most types of loans, while raising mortgage interest rates for those who wish to build or refinance!....Conspiracy theorists continue to doubt the Apollo 11 expedition, citing evidence that proves the first moonwalk wasn't until 1983, when Michael Jackson performed it at the real Apollo!....If every household in America replaced one bulb with a CFL, enough money would be saved to enable 17 CEOs to retire as billionaires!....An unprecedented 41% of Americans claim to be Independents. People - you are NOT an Independent unless you register as an Independent, run for office as an Independent, or vote for an Independent. If you vote for a Democrat or a Republican, then that is what you are!
State/Local: Arizona bar owners are united in their opposition to Governor Brewer's signing legislation allowing citizens to bring guns into their establishments. All cite customer safety as their number one concern. Really? They emphasize that they want their clientele to have a good time drinking. I guess drunken behaviors, DUIs, accidental deaths, etc., are much less likely than to occur than gunfights at the OK Corral!....Why do supermarket baggers put one-gallon milk containers in flimsy plastic bags? Either bag them in paper, so they don't roll around your vehicle, or don't bother to bag them!....It's monsoon season. Why is it advisable, during a dust storm, to pull off of the road, turn your lights off, and keep your foot off of the brake? If some one else has the same idea, they'll NEVER see you - until it is too late! Wouldn't it be better to pull off and turn on your emergency flasher lights? Then other drivers would know not to follow you, and you'd be safer from a collision!
