I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. ~ Groucho Marx

I really need to sort out how to blog using my phone. I don’t think that the bargain basement piece of technology I own can do that, but I need to sort something out. After all, what is this site without my anchor of running commentary?

Jeff clearly thought that a day without Pyrophage was a day to re-visit his former glory as a Cab Caloway impersonator. I know that Jeff claims that is actually footage of Caloway, but I’m here to dispell that little myth. Jeff had been working the circuit as a black-face performer for just over a year and Cab had stopped by to get some dance moves for his own act. Cab was so impressed with Jeff’s rendition of his hit “Refer Man” that he asked him if he would be willing to take his place on an upcoming TV broadcast (all those bright lights made Calloway nervous back then), and Jeff was quite flattered by the offer and the rest is history.

Jeff also felt the need to give an impromptu civics lesson yesterday. I often wonder if any of our nation’s leaders have ever bothered to have good look-see at the Constitution. Lately, it looks a little like the answer to that would be “no”. Otherwise, they wouldn’t pass laws that blatantly violate the Bill of Rights. The sad thing is that the check on that kind of idiocy is the Supreme Court, but they all seem to have missed that day in their High School Government class, too.

I have to correct Jeff on yet another point. That PC is only used on the weekends at my house. He just gets the hose. Especially when he refuses to put the lotion in the basket.

Tune in tomorrow when Jeff autogenerates some posts and I do my best to make fun of them.

There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest bar. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE) or Bothersome-Employer-Eliminator-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected, and WORK is controlling your life.

Permit me a little reflection…listed below in their entirety are a selection of amendments from the Bill of Rights, the constitutional document that is considered to be the foundation of our nation, in which I have highlighted the portions that appear to be affected by the legislation that Congress has just passed.
