Regarding Giuliani’s recent “remarks” about Obama not loving America, well, here’s how I feel about Giuliani… Since withdrawing from the election for a US senate seat because of cancer, Giuliani has become a nuisance, a vexation to everyone’s spirit.

I’M JUST AN INNOCENT (almost innocent) BYSTANDER…
Just so Santa doesn’t waste a stop, and interrupt my precious sleep, every Christmas Eve I fasten a big, bold, neon sign on my roof that reads: DON’T STOP HERE RESIDENTS BELONG TO AARP Even when people can’t, or don’t, understand what I’m saying, I still believe in freedom of speech.

A few days ago I read Daphne Prost’s very funny article COULD THE ZOMBIES ALL JUST DIE NOW? PLEASE? For your enlightenment, her website is http://daphnepropst.wordpress.com.

I Phones, I Pads, laptops, smart phones, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, hot zones, Facebook, Twitter, video games, data streaming, texting and video surveillance (hidden or otherwise) are making people obsessive-compulsive information gatherers, whether they really need the information or not.

THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD POLICTICIAN IS UNSETTLING
