Robin Williams
A friend sent me this. It's important to remember that Robin Williams is a comedian. He's also an American. Here are some of his thoughts:
"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past &present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo,Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good ole boys", we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East, and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave.We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available
to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort
to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given
to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer
saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "

Super...er...day after saturday
This is stupid. Let's say you own a sports bar and you're having a party on the first Sunday in February with your big screen TVs tuned to the football game between Chicago and Indianapolis. Let's say you want to run an ad on TV, radio or the newspaper. It's illegal to use the words Super Bowl, Super Sunday, Colts, or Bears.
Why? Two reasons. First, because you are not licensed by the NFL (oh, that's another word you can't use...along with AFC and NFC) You can use these words if you are reporting a bonafide news story but not if you're running an ad where you hope to make some money. That's the first reason. The second reason is because the NFL is being petty (& stupid). They're desperate to suck up every penny to help pay large salaries for players and the league. The logo which is attached to this post is probably illegal, too. Take note of the ads in the coming days. This is where "interesting" meets "downright stupid."

Deal Or No Deal
Deal Or No Deal - I love this show! It's perfect! They giveaway obscene amounts of money. You don't have to be intelligent to do well, and the cast of characters.....
Howie Mandell is brilliant! Yeah, sure, he's a wise ass - but if you do it with class - it works! Besides, anyone who is on a first name basis with all those models, can't be all bad! And the models, my my. What other TV show has 26 stunning young women dressed in evening gowns? The banker also has a personality, even though we never hear from him. It's basically a fantasy, reality, quiz show There is, however, one thing that can bring the show's popularity to a screeching halt and send its ratings into a nose dive. That one thing is if NBC does what ABC did with "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" - put it on 3, 4, 5 nights a week - it'll over saturate the market. An important part of the TV entertainment business is "always leave the audience wanting more!"
Twice a week is enough.

TRUMP: "YOU'RE FIRED!"
I've been watching "The Apprentice" since it first came on a few years ago. Not any more! In the season opener, they were washing cars. The team with the most money wins the week's competition. We saw these bright young people washing cars in their business suits. (Common sense isn't too common.) The board room drama has been replaced by shouting matches. Trump replaces his consultant with his daughter? The show has become hard to watch. And what's all this about the Donald's feud with Rosie O'Donnell and now Barbara Walters? Wouldn't you expect a guy like Trump to take the high road? I am a fan of Trump's. That is to say that I admire him, greatly. I have some advice for him! Donald, you don't need the money - quit the show before you embarrass yourself!
