Ponderings

   Ever ponder certain things that get into your head when not much is going on? Stuff that when it pops in just won't go away? It happens to me all the time and it may be because I'm a very non linear thinker. I have a tendency to go off on a tangent from time to time but usually get back on track after a while. And on that note, here goes.

  • What's so bad about being nonlinear?
  • Why do we need a photo ID to cash a check but not to vote?
  • Why are drug tests given to workers but not welfare recipients?
  • What is the '' whole nine yards''? [I actually looked that one up]
  • Why will some folks climb a flag pole to tell a lie when it's easier to stand on the ground to tell the truth?
  • Why do chile con queso and chili con carne have different spellings of chile/chili?
  • When does a chile become a pepper? [there's that tangent]
  • How can someone be pro-abortion and anti-capital punishment? 
  • Why do some people blame a bomber but not a shooter?
  • Why do some folks go pale at the thought of armed guards in schools but find it perfectly acceptable to have them in banks? Which is more valuable to you?
  • Why are Eagle eggs protected by Federal law, yet that same government funds abortions?
  • Why do feminists rail about injustices to women here in the US but remain strangely quiet about the savagery inflicted upon women in  certain Muslim countries?
  • How is it possible in New York a minor can  choose to get an abortion but not a Big Gulp? Both are choices made concerning her body.
  • Does the school that Michelle's girls attend have the same lunch program the Michelle rammed down the public schools throats?
  • Do Americans working in Mexico get a paid holiday for the 4th of July? 
  • How many vacations do the Obamas need?
  • Is there really a ''Catch 22"?
  • Why is it that ''Murphy's Laws'' are simpler and easier to understand than the laws enacted by congress [I left it lower case because of the lack of respect I have for that body!]?
  • Is ''My hard drive crashed!" now a viable excuse to the IRS to get out of an audit?
I could go on but I think I'd like to here some comments from all y'all on these. I know that y'all have thoughts like this also, so why don't we share them?
