Cop wants an excuse A man was driving home late one afternoon, and he was driving above the speed limit. He notices a police car with its red lights on in his rear view mirror. He thinks "I can outrun this guy," so he floors it and the race is on. The cars are racing down the highway -- 60, 70...

At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. "Isn't it true," he bellowed, "that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?" The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn't heard the question. "Isn't it true that you...

I was trying to explain the concept of Twitter to my friend. He finally said I don't follow you. Last night I dreamed I ate a ten-pound marshmallow, and when I woke up the pillow was gone. Girl said : I think the poorest people are the happiest. Boy replied : Then marry me, we will the...

Your system may be modeled after Great Britain. It is the Parliamentary system. Do you have to put up with 'no confidence motion' raised by the opposition? USA does not not have that kind of issues. Each system has its pluses and minuses.

Health care costs are increasing at a rate much higher than inflation. Obamacare is an effort to provide health care coverage for every one. But the devil is in the details. A lot of static thinking in a dynamic world. If the Doctors are squeezed financially, many doctors (age 60 plus) will...

Celebration time in England On April 13, 1919, a multitude of Punjabis (in India) gathered in Amritsar's Jallian wala Bagh as part of the Sikh Festival "Baisakhi fair" and to protest at the extraordinary measures taken by England. The throng, penned in a narrow space smaller than Trafalgar...

After 4 long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to summer and Barbecue season. Therefore, it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger...

In the 1980's, I used an IBM 5100 (with Cassette tapes) to do programming in BASIC. It had 64K memory and no hard disk. Here is a link: http://www.oldcomputermuseum.com/ibm_5100.html

We could have been here sooner.. An elderly couple were killed in an accident and found themselves being given a tour of heaven by Saint Peter. "Here is your oceanside condo, over there are the tennis courts, swimming pool, and two golf courses. If you need any refreshments, just stop by any of...

At a country-club party a young man was introduced to an attractive girl. Immediately he began admiring and flattering her outrageously. The girl liked the young man, but she was taken a bit aback by his fast and ardent pitch. She was amazed when after 30 minutes he seriously proposed marriage...

Any country (including USA) that follows the pathway of Greece will sooner or later end up like Greece. What is happening? Massive debt that they cannot repay. Massive underground economy Massive tax evasion Massive entitlement programs (cradle to grave) Massive Government employment (high...

What is now happening in Greece? Why people are on the street? What is the need for all these austerity measures? Can't they provide cradle to grave support by Government? Wealth redistribution not working in Greece? I cannot believe that. Is Germany so selfish they will not give their credit...

Good response (which I was not capable of). Thanks Pbaldy.

I agree with Vassago.

America has an aging population. Thousands are retiring every day (called Baby Boomers). Some retirees are rich, but many are struggling financially due to Federal Reserve policies. Federal Reserve (or FED) is keeping interest rates very low. Now the average 5 Year CD (certificate of Deposit)...

Because the American people want to keep the two party system which served them well (not perfect by any stretch of imagination). Ron Paul is now running in the Republican primaries. He is a RINO (Republican In Name Only). He attracts many younger people and many who are not happy with the...

The U.S. Presidential election is different from the elections in other countries. Here, any one can run as a candidate in the primaries. The party does not pick the candidate. In other countries (parliamentary system), the party decides who the candidate is. Each system has advantages and...

One important identifier of Socialism is that Government jobs become the most coveted jobs (please understand that I am not speaking against Government employees). Government jobs provide great job security and a guaranteed retirement pension. You do not have to worry about your job performance...
