Fly
I have always wondered how Santa and the reindeer flew. <a title="Santa Cited for Marijuana Possession" href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20041217/ap_on_fe_st/santa_pot" target="_blank">Now I know</a>.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>A deputy who works at the school found the marijuana while searching the coat for identification after a teacher found it in the bathroom. The man dressed as Santa approached the deputy a short…

Leroy
Leroy The Redneck Reindeer. A humorous Christmas tune by Joe Diffie. An elementary school in Texas was going to perform this tune for their Christmas pageant when <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/120304_local_song.html" target="_blank">one parent objected</a>. The problem? <br />n<br />n<blockquote>A portion of the lyrics say, "Santa wrapped his bag with a Dixie flag, he was having the time…

Thought
A day is 24 hours long. <br />nA box of beer contains 24 bottles. <br />nIs this a coincidence or is the world trying to tell me something?

Perceptions
Car salesperson, advertiser, lawyer, congressional leader, business executives and newspaper reporters. What does this unlikely list have in common? They are the nations nation's <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/12/15/build/business/45-poll.inc" target="_blank">least-trusted professions</a> according to a new survey. I don't do surveys at all but I would be curious to know if these professions were picked off a list or…

Responsibility
I talk about personal responsibility and the importance of it quite a bit and <a title="'Indifferent' rancher charged with manslaughter " href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/12/15/build/nation/45-rancher.inc" target="_blank">this ranchers</a> lack of it is a perfect example.

Memo
Found over at <a href="http://www.alphecca.com/mt_alphecca_archives/000753.html">Alphecca</a> and well worth the read. It might not be this bad yet but it seems to be getting there.<br />n<br />n<blockquote><b>Memo From the School Superintendent</b><br />n<br />nAttention all school personnel –<br />n<br />nIn an effort to insure a proper, nurturing environment for all our students, the following rules will be…

Gifts
Lord Sam, Has an interesting ring to it. For around $60 you can <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/odd_britain_title_dc" target="_blank">buy an English Title</a> to spice up your name maybe as a Christmas gift. <br />n<br />nNOTE: The real nobility says this doesn't count since a genuine British title cannot be purchased. Sounds like somebody has "title envy."<br />n<br />n<b>And…

Legislation
I've talked about this before, and I'm sure I will again, but why, if ethenol is such a wonderful thing, does it take <a href="http://www.montanaforum.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1423" target="_blank">government intervention</a> to make it work. If it is cost effective to add ethanol to gas it shouldn't take laws to make it happen. The free market would provide the…

White Christmas
It's really beginning to look like there will not be a white Christmas this year. How disgusting. We really need the moisture. The National Weather Service has a web page now that gives the <a href="http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/byz/local_news/whitechristmas.php" target="_blank">probability of a white Christmas</a> for the entire US. Pretty interesting to look out. Hopefully it's right and we…
