Saving money
These may not be the most popular ideas I’ve proposed but I think they are worth discussion. Maybe, after we get through the health insurance problem, we can talk about them.
The war in Iraq was a pretty bad idea, but it looks like we can get out of it now. We are heavily invested in Afghanistan and maybe that is not such a good idea. We seem to be in the middle of a religious war. We’ve lost more Americans in those wars than we did in the World Trade Centers. And then we have Pakistan, Somalia, and an unending stream of nasty governments. We could sure save a lot of money if we came home.
The war on drugs is certainly not going well, either. We are spending millions to stop drugs coming into the country and it doesn’t work. We should legalize drugs, tax them, and spend our money helping educate and cure addicts.
Wow, I’m going to be in trouble!

Zachary, age 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he’d dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, “We better throw this one out too then, ’cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women’s locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, “What’s the matter, haven’t you ever seen a little boy before?”
