Chain Chain Chain... Chain of Fools

There are a lot of things that strike me as foolish, fool hardy, or fool proof on a daily basis. There are things that make me feel like a fool for not figuring out the obvious before it is shown to me. Today I am going to rant about a few things that struck me over the last 17 hours I've been awake. In some way they are all fool related.

For example Rutgers University recently paid Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison $30,000 to appear but paid $32,000 for the biggest piece of trash from the Jersey Shore to be imported to answer questions. Can you imagine what that was like? I can... I really love that shade of orange can you tell me the formula so I can tell my spray tanner? My dad is such a prude; I was wondering how you got your dad to pose with you in a pool half naked? How many designer label spandex tube dresses are you going to buy if you sue South Park ? Umm....what's South Park?

Today on the highway as we are all going in the same direction at the same speed in two lanes about to merge with another coming in from the right and creating... get this... THREE lanes all going in the same direction at the same speed the car in front of us and to the left decided to cut over into our lane without any consideration for the car that was already there a foot in front of us thanks to the brake check! Why? Where the hell do you think you're going that the rest of aren't? We're on a bridge for cripe sakes! There are no exits! Did I mention we were in the high speed lane? Last I checked there is only ONE left side exit on any highway around here and it was 36 miles away in MASSACHUSETTS!

North Dakota has a budget surplus. So much in fact that they are considering cutting taxes! They also have the lowest unemployment rate of any of the states, fourth fewest incidents of violence, a stable housing market and the highest job growth rate last year. They have a Rainy Day Fund!!!!! Their main products are wheat and oil. They might need a rainy day fund when the world shifts to nuclear... no hydroelectric... no solar... no wind power. Makes you wonder what New Jersey is going to market when it runs out of hair bands and hair brains.

Be safe.
