200th Birthday Of America's Greatest President
My birthday wishes to Abraham Lincoln on his 200th birthday, :
"Today, Thursday , February 12th, is the 200th birthday of the Greatest President in American history, and I just want to say Rest In Peace Mr. President,
what?...sorry someone just looked over my shoulder and "didn't" know who the Greatest President in American history was.
Actaully, no one did "this" year, but I like that line, so I put it in whenever I write or talk about Abraham Lincoln:)
Wow, I was surprised, as Obviously it was Abraham Lincoln. There follows two links to show anyone who cares how great he was!
The first is to the "Lincoln Institute Presents Abraham Lincoln's Classroom" which has days and days of material for a Lincoln fair weather friend or a true fanatic.
The second link is to a website that has a great deal of information about the Lincoln Museum in Springfield, Illinois, and their preparations for his 200th birthday next year!!
Happy 200th Birthday, Mr. President!!
Your Number 1 fan!!

How is your Friday the 13th going?
I can see that Friday the 13th is already going bad, as the House has just passed the Stimulus Bill to kill America, and snow is flying, so I guess we are in for a scary evening ;)
Here is the story at Yahoo News:
If you fear Friday the 13th, then batten down the hatches. This week's unlucky day is the first of three this year.
The next Friday the 13th comes in March, followed by Nov. 13. Such a triple whammy comes around only every 11 years, said Thomas Fernsler, a math specialist at the University of Delaware who has studied the number 13 for more than 20 years.
By the numbers
Here are 13 more facts about the infamous day, courtesy of Fernsler and some of our own research:
Take Care!!
Well, Hell, they just passed the economic stimulus bill in the Senate, and the economy is already recovering~~I mean it will turn around shortly, once the House and Senate agree on which frisbee golf courses, and atv parks, can stay in the bill, and which are just "pork".
I will make no qualms about it, I am opposed to this additional waste of our great-great-great granchildrens money, just as I opposed the original bank bailout bill, which has been wasted and accomplished nothing.
I do want to congratulate President Obama for his win in November, but the approach he is taking with the economy is right of Comrades Pelosi and Reids communist playbook, and will doom his Presidency, and our country. If he really wanted to stimulate the economy by throwing billions of borrowed dollars at it, it would have been quicker, and more efficient to let the workers of America receive it as a direct $7340 to each of the 109 million people who are employed right now.
I mean, this is simple simon stuff, and while Rushie, and Seanie and the other blithering goats on the right are attacking this bill, because they are going to attack everything Obama tries to do, I am attacking it, because I hope he succeeds in making America a better place, but I do not think this is a good way to accomplish that goal.
Anyway, here are links to the House and Senate bills, if you have the stamina to read through this entire piece of crappy legislation.
I shall write more about this in the future, but a friend of mine, who has retained his Republican identity, and has called me a traitor for having voted for Obama, "just to shake things up", asked me to remind everyone that George W. Bush, kept us safe from terrorists for 7 years. Oh, this friend also says if we just kick all of the muslims out of the country, we will stay safe:)
Yes, I do have a very interesting, and diverse group of friends;)
It is part of the fun of knowing most of my friends from the Coral Ridge Mall, which has an exotic mix of people working there.
Oh by the way, this is an excellent opportunity for you all to travel to the Coral Ridge Mall, Coralville, Iowa, and spend some money, which would help "our" economy. There are sales nearly everywhere, and people who will appreciate your presence, and try and make your shopping experience incredible. It is slower during the week, so that would be a prime time, and of course Saturdays are huge, with last weeks crowd, equalling the numbers during the holidays. I invite you to stop by the art kiosk and say hi, anytime you are here.
On a lighter note former Vice-President Dick Cheney, "accidently" shot his next door neighbor, while clearing brush with his shotgun. I did not check the accuracy of this report, because that would have required effort, so take it as fact or not, it really doesn't matter to me, as I just thought it was amusing.
Have a Great Tuesday, and be sure to take everything I write as fact, as it will be a lot easier for me to succeed in this whole change of character to try and grow my ranks of minions:)
As my "friends" at Fox News, say but don't practice, "We Are Fair, Balanced, and Unafraid", whatever--anyway besides, "take care", that will be my other catch phrase, so make sure you practice saying it out loud, so you can chant it with me at my future "rallies"!!
Now I just need to work on getting a radio talk show, and I can blather on as well, and get me some of those "ditto heads"!!
Oh this is going to be sweet fun!!
Take Care!!

I hope the New Year is being good to all of you out there. I have been very busy through the holidays and January, as I have been trying to find a way to purchase this business, and avoid having it close. I am getting to the end of that rainbow, and will know if my friends can swing it and assist me financially, or if I will be working somewhere else after next week. I have come to a place of acceptance in whatever happens. My preferred situation would be to stay here, buy the business with these silent partner friends, and keep doing what I do, selling framed art prints. During this whole time I have also been trying to figure out what i want to do with my blogs, and after much soul searching, I have come to conclusion that other than the funny hump day humor posts, I wasn't doing anything more usually than passing on news, that people could get if they just were bored enough, or searched enough. That is all well and good to impart information to others, but I on the whole, will leave that to others from now on. I look around and see blithering idiots out there who have radio shows, t.v. shows, blogs, and minions of "special" mindless followers, from morons like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity on the right, to Randy Rhodes and Chris Matthews on the left, and I think Wow, wouldn't it be nice to just be able to say anything and not worry about facts, figures, or truth! These are but a few of the "geniuses" out there, and the American people seem to want to see, hear, and read this type of content all of the time. Therefore, I have decided to allow my inner demented Devils's Advocate to decide what I shall write about, and that way I can just write whatever I want, and if the facts, figures, and truth do not line up with what I am writing, too bad. After all it worked for The Great Communicator "Fabricator" Ronald Reagan when he was in the White House, and it has worked more or less for everyone in public office, and the news media as well, which is Never Fair Or Balanced, but bring their own agendas to every story, everyday!! I do hope you shall stop by and read my first "new" post tomorrow, which will be a mixture of "my" facts, "my" figures, and "my" truth, and may it please, annoy, or anger you, at least I hope it will get you to think. Anyway, that is my goal, I invite you to stop back and see how the first attempt turns out!! Have A GREAT SATURDAY!!! :) The above post and information may not express the views of any blog sites on which I post, and strictly are the facts, figures, and truths of the demons which control me! Thank You and Take Care!! ;) KeplerView by Daniel Kepler
Well it has been 2 days since the results of the Presidential election have had time to sink in, and Wall Street is handling the news well, with only a small 1,000 point drop, over wednesday and thursday, but is up a little friday.
I heard on the news that guns sales are brisk as people stock up, before President Obama bans all firearms.?.
The hate filled emails are filling the inboxes, and threats/jokes about the new President being assassinated are making workplaces fun again!?!
What the Hell is wrong with this country?
The President doesn't even take the oath of office until January 20th, 2009, and already there is such contempt and hatred, that I worry for this nation!
Let's lighten things up a little bit, and give our New President a chance, before getting all fired up and hateful!! After all the worst thing that could happen is that Obama would end up like the last three utter Presidential failures; George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan!! I know some fellow "delusional" Republicans cannot understand Ronald Reagan being listed, as they loved him, but he was an evil failure nonetheless, and being loved is no appropriate way to gauge success or failure, as there are people who loved Hitler, and yet he was still an evil failure, just like Reagan( Sorry to Reagan Lovers, But My Hatred Is Very Personal, And Very Deep)!!
Anyway, enough politics for the week!! We can all pray that our Nation will get back on the right track, and one way to do that, is by spending money and reigniting this economy. I have been receiving "tons" of prints for the last week, and have been busy finding room for them, and that is why I have been unable to write for a few days.
The Coral Ridge Mall should be a wonderfully packed "house" with happy shoppers this weekend as Penn State comes to play the Iowa Hawkeyes in football on Saturday. So stop in Friday after work, and spend Saturday and Sunday "buying" Christmas gifts!
The weather is perfect for shopping, and many places are already bringing in special merchandise and having sales!!
Here is some humor that is obviously lacking for alot of disappointed people this week:
Recently, I got to thinking about my first skydiving instructor. During class he would always take the time to answer any of our stupid first-timer questions.
One guy asked, "If our chute doesn't open, and the reserve doesn't open, how long do we have until we hit the ground?"
Our jumpmaster looked at him and in perfect deadpan and answered, "The rest of your life."

A doctor, an engineer, and a lawyer go out hunting in the woods one day. Each of them brings along his hunting dog, and they spend most of the morning arguing about which of the dogs is the smartest. Early in the afternoon, they discover a clearing in the forest. In the middle of the clearing is a large pile of animal bones.
Seeing the bones, the doctor turns to the others and says, "I'm going to prove to you two that my dog is the smartest. Watch this!"
He then calls his dog over and says, "Bones! See the bones? Go get 'em!" The dog rushes over to the pile, rummages around for a bit, and then proceeds to build a replica of the human skeleton, perfect down to the last detail. The doctor grins smugly; after all, his dog has just built a human skeleton from animal bones.
The engineer, however, is totally unimpressed. "That's nothing," he says. "Watch this." He calls his dog over, and points out the pile. "Bones! Get the bones!" The dog rushes over, tears down the skeleton, and in its place builds a perfect replica of the Eiffel Tower. It even has a little French flag waving at the top. The doctor is forced to agree that the engineer's dog is, in fact, smarter than his own.
The lawyer, however, is still not impressed. "My dog is smarter," he says. "Watch." He then calls his dog over, points to the pile, and says simply, "Bones." The dog rushes over to the pile, tears down the tower, eats half the bones, buries the other half, and takes the rest of the afternoon off.

Three friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise the funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair.
He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his mother to go and ask the friars to get out of the business. They ignored her too.
So the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town, to "persuade" them to close.
Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close shop.
Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

A man sentenced to prison was put in a cell with an older convict who had been there for many years.
One day, they were talking about their pasts, and the old man said, "Look at me. I'm old and worn out. You'd never believe that I used to live the life of Riley. I wintered on the Riviera, had a boat, four fine cars, the most beautiful women, and I ate in all the best restaurants of France."
"What happened?" his new cellmate asked.
"One day Riley reported his credit cards missing."

In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity.
Let your conversational communications possess a compacted conciseness, a clarified comprehensibility, a coalescent cogency and a concatenated consistency.
Eschew obfuscation and all conglomeration of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affectations.
Let your extemporaneous descants and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and voracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast.
Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolificacy and vain vapid verbosity.
If you are really interested to know, the above means: "Be brief and don’t use big words."

A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card, "Rest in Peace."
The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist replied,
"Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this...somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, 'Congratulations on your new location.'"

A farmer walked into an attorney's office wanting to file for a divorce. The attorney asked "May I help you?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I want to get one of those day-vorce's."
The attorney said, "well do you have any grounds?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I got about 140 acres".
The attorney said, "No, you don't understand, do you have a case?"
The farmer said, "No, I don't have a Case, but I got a John Deere."
The attorney said, "No you don't understand, I mean do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yea I got a grudge, that's where I park my John Deere."
The attorney said: "No sir, I mean do you have a suit"
The farmer said, "Yes sir, I got a suit, I wear to the church on Sundays." The exasperated attorney said, "Well sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
The farmer said, "No sir, we both get up about 4:30."
Finally the attorney says, "Okay, let me put it this way. "WHY DO YOU WANT A DIVORCE?"
And the farmer says, "Well, I can never have a meaningful conversation with her."

Former college basketball coach Abe Lemmons made the following observations concerning the differences between doctors and coaches:
- Doctors can bury their mistakes - Coaches still have theirs on scholarships.
- Finish last in your league and they call you an idiot - Finish last in medical school and they call you a doctor.
- Just once I'd like to see the win-loss records of doctors right out front where people can see them: Won ten, Lost three, Tied two.

One of the presidential candidates was visiting an elementary school, and the 4th grade class he sat through began a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked the candidate if he would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word "tragedy." So, the candidate asked the class for an example of a tragedy.
One boy stood up and said, "If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy."
"No," said the candidate, "that would be an accident."
A girl raised her hand and said, "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone on board, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," the candidate said. "That's what we would call a Great Loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. The candidate searched the room and asked, "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally, way in the back of the room, Johnny raised his hand, and in a quiet voice, he said, "If your campaign plane, carrying yourself and your running mate, was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, THAT would be a tragedy."
"That's right! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" asked the candidate.
"Well," Johnny said, "because it wouldn't be an accident and it sure as heck wouldn’t be a Great Loss..."

Why engineers don't write recipe books.
Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Ingredients:
1.) 532.35 cm3 gluten
2.) 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
3.) 4.9 cm3 refined halite
4.) 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5.) 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
6.) 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
7.) 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8.) Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
9.) 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
10.) 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)
Directions:
To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogenous. To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.
Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston’s first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.

On little Larry's first day of first grade, he raised his hand as soon as the teacher came into the room and said, 'I don't belong here, I should be in third grade!'
The teacher looked at little Larry's records and told him to please take his seat.
Not five minutes passed when little Larry stood up again and said, 'I don't belong here; I should be in the third grade!'
Larry did this a few more times before the principal came along and the teacher explained Larry's problem. The principal and the first grade teacher told little Larry that if he could answer some questions that they could decide in which grade he belonged. Well, they soon discovered that Larry knew all the state capitals and country capitals that the principal could think of.
The teacher suggested they try some biology questions. 'What does a cow have 4 of but a woman has only 2?' asked the teacher.
'Legs!' Larry immediately replied.
"What does a man have in his pants that a woman doesn't?' asked the teacher.
'Pockets!' said Larry.
The teacher looked at the principal, who said, "Maybe he should be in third grade, I missed those last two questions!'

"Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him" So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down."

Aunt Bessie loved to visit her nieces and nephews. However, she had relatives all over the country.
The problem was that no matter how much she enjoyed seeing them, she hated flying. No matter how safe people told her it was, she was always worried that someone would have a bomb on the plane.
She read books about how safe it was and listened to the stewardess demonstrate all the safety features. But she still worried herself silly every time a visit was coming up.
Finally, the family decided that maybe if she saw the statistics she’d be convinced. So they sent her to a friend of the family who was an actuary.
"Tell me," she said suspiciously, "what are the chances that someone will have a bomb on a plane?"
The actuary looked through his tables and said, "A very small chance. Maybe one in five hundred thousand."
She nodded, then thought for a moment. "So what are the odds of two people having a bomb on the same plane?"
Again he went through his tables.
"Extremely remote," he said. "About one in a billion."
Aunt Bessie nodded and left his office.
And from that day on, every time she flew, she took a bomb with her.

A man had been drinking at the bar for hours when he mentioned something about his girlfriend being out in the car.
The bartender, concerned because it was so cold, went to check on her.
When he looked inside the car, he saw the drunk's buddy, Pete, and his girlfriend pitching woo in the back-seat.
The bartender shook his head and walked back inside. He told the drunk that he thought it might be a good idea to check on his girlfriend.
The drunk staggered outside to the car, saw the spectacle, then walked back into the bar laughing.
"What's so funny?" the bartender asked.
"That dumb Pete!" the drunk chortled, "He's so drunk, he thinks he's me!"

The below are valid reasons as to why drinking should be allowed at work. If you use them wisely, you may even be able to convince your boss into allowing alcohol.
2. It reduces stress.
3. It leads to more honest communications.
4. It reduces complaints about low pay.
5. It cuts down on time off because you can work with a hangover.
6. Employees tell management what they think, not what management wants to hear.
7. It helps save on heating costs in the winter.
8. It encourages carpooling.
9. Increases job satisfaction because if you have a bad job you don’t care.
10. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work.
11. It makes fellow employees look better.
12. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.
13. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.
14. Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable.
15. If something does something stupid on the job, it will be quickly forgotten.
And I Believe We Shall End On This VERY Good Idea, Hopefully, This Practice Shall Be Instituted At Your Work Locations Immediately!!;)
