So who discovered America?  The Italians claimed it was Columbus for years, till the Vikings found one of their man caves in Newfoundland.  The Irish and Welsh have made some claims too and Egypt, the Phoenicians and Crete all say they've been here.  And there's always the ten lost tribes of Israel.  Anyway, America was already here.  So were the Indians.  They don't count?

Personally I think they've all got it wrong.  Question should be who discovered Europe first.

I think it was the Eskimos. They stumbled across it, mucked around the continent for a while, found it to be a wasteland, went back home and said nothing.  Left it for the French.

Olympics are over which means the Russians and Americans can get back to their traditional sport.....staring each other down over some international hot spot.

This time it's Ukraine.  They are broke and blame the Russians for their problems.  They want to join the EEU.  The Russians want to keep them close to solve their own economic problems.  The Europeans aren't sure they want another problem.

This should be easy.  We and the Europeans can't afford to win and the Russians can't afford to lose......which is why it will probably spin out of control.  Murphy was probably a Ukrainian.

Free snow for the taking.  If you take enough I might even deliver.  Includes zero temperatures, wind and drifts.  Would also consider trade for something above 32 degrees.  All offers considered.

If you happen to live in Florida I'll throw in some ice and a free in home demonstration.  Just reply to "frozen in upstate New York".  And hurry, 'cause it ain't getting any warmer here.

We've got snow.  In fact everybody's got snow, even in places that usually don't get snow.  

Guess where they don't have snow.  Russia........at the Winter Olympics.

They're running around in t-shirts.  It's 60 degrees.  Go figure.  Should have held the Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

Nobody's going to miss winter this year except Putin.

Checked the news this morning to see what Governor Christie did wrong today.  So far we don't know what it is, but I'm sure it's something even if we don't know it.  I see where he called his Democrat buddy across the river, Governor Cuomo, for advice.  

Well, come to think of it, now we do know what he's done wrong today.

It would be like Target asking Walmart what to do when their credit card info was recently hacked.

Just when he thought the spectre of "Bridgegate" was behind him NJ Gov. Christie has put himself in front of another truck.........again.

This time it's "commercial gate".  Seems he used Federal money for storm relief from tropical storm Sandy to make tv commercials for the Jersey Shore featuring............himself and his family.  Says it was for the economy which makes it a recovery issue.   Bit of a stretch considering it was in an election year.  What made it worse was he paid twice the going rate.  I'm sure his argument is they had a lot more to cover.  

I won't say he's broke the law, but he hasn't done it any favors and his attitude hasn't won him any friends, which is what he could use right now.

NJ Governor Chris Christie has gotten himself into trouble..... again.  He seems to be a lightning rod for controversy.  After spending his first term deliberately creating an "in your face" go to hell image he seemed shocked that one of his aides used her authority to shut down a NJ bridge and create a traffic jam as part of a political retribution against a city mayor.

He spent two hours yesterday telling the media he is not a bully.  The media are spending their time showing news clips of his telling constituents where they can go for the past four years.  

Republicans don't like him because he is too cozy with Democrats. Democrats don't like him because of his attitude.

The rest don't like him because he's from New Joisey.

     The jury has spoken in the Travon Martin/ George Zimmerman murder case in Florida.  This one is right up there with Casey Anthony and her dead child.  Another not guilty.  Seems Florida is not the healthiest of places, at least not for young people of any age.

     I can't fathom what goes through jurors minds in the state of Florida but it surely isn't looking out for their society's own best interests.  Every nut with a handgun and an agenda has just got a "get out of jail" card to fix the world on their own terms.  Apparently in Florida a fistfight justifies pulling a gun and shooting an unarmed fellow human being.  In Florida, "Neighborhood Watch" does more than watch, it stalks.  In Florida vigilante justice is the unwritten law of the state.

     If anyone thinks they are safer because of this verdict I can only remind you that "Wyatt" Zimmerman is back, he can still have his job and he still has his gun.  And now he has "friends" who think the same way and they all have guns and they all are in fear for their own safety.  Just ask them.

 My advice: Leave.

The news isn't good.  Then again when is it.  Good news sells like a ten year old newspaper.

 About the only good news that sells is when someone hits the lottery, and really, that's bad news if it isn't you.

It's really the plan of the newspapers to print bad news.  No one is interested in Mrs. Dogbones visit for tea with Mrs. Tinkertoes' until you add rat poison to the tea.  If Mr. Tinkertoes ends up with Mrs. Dogbones because Mrs. Tinkertoes is defunct you have a mini-series.  Add money and you have a novelette.  Add sex and it's a primetime movie.

The badder the characters, the better the bottom line.

I see where the government wants to prosecute this Snowden fellow for leaking info from the National Security Agency that the agency has been spying on us illegally.  President says it's not so.  He got it right from the NSA.

This raises the question.  If someone leaks info that indicts the government does the government get a free pass by indicting the leaker.  Do we have a right to know what our government is doing .........in our name ..........with our money ........to us?  OR ....are we safer not knowing in the interest of national security?

According to the government there is NO Evidence of UFO's either and the 60 percent of the population who thinks otherwise has been hallucinating for the past 60 years or so....in the interest of national security........including all the presidents.  Believe it....or else......
