Won't be long until we are gaining one and one-half minutes more of extra light each day over the previous day; we are gaining more than a minute now. Even after solstice when the sun begins its northward journey, it takes about two months for the earth to warm enough to change the weather patterns. That is for normal conditions like we used to have; with global warming, no one now knows what is normal.

The price of gasoline jumped twenty cents late last week. I suppose the mid-east wars and the pirates are the excuse this time. Shall we never learn that now is the time to develop alternative energy? Now has been here since the early nineteen-seventies and we have made a magnificent commitment to talking the talk, but few of us seem willing to walk the walk.

President Dick Cheney's mouthpiece finally admitted he made a couple of mistakes over the past eight years. "Mission accomplished!"

I cannot wait to see and even maybe read some of the finger-pointing books that will come out of this presidency over the next few months and years. Some of it will be true, some partially true, and some will be just "covering my ass" type lies. From these later ones, savvy writers and movie producers will make fortunes on feeding us fictionalized events.

I must now see about donating tax deductible money to the G.W. Bush Presidential Memorial Library. It will probably be very elaborate to house his important papers and memorabilia. In fact, it may just be the largest building in Crawford, Texas. There will be plenty of room for all of his disciples to worship at his desk which holds his coloring books and crayons, and plastic scissors that are not sharp-pointed. I hope they think to include his Elmo telephone over which he he instructed other world leaders such as Tony Blair on how to play hide-and-seek with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. "I hear you!"
In truth, Bush's real presidential library will be constructed in Riyadh, which is the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Branches will be opened in the capitol cities of all other O.P.E.C. nations.

I seem to have forgotten last Friday's link to The Smoking Gun's Mugshots of the Week!
