The $$ Have Been Added Up

Because we want to stay abreast of what's going on in the world our website is connected to a whole lot of news sites.  We get the news feed from a lot of sources.  This also left us open to receiving all kinds of emails from political candidates from all over the USA and from both major political parties too.

And, we noticed if you write back to them it doesn't matter what you tell them.  You can tell them their the greatest thing since sliced bread or biggest pile of do do, God ever made.  They in turn thank you for your support and tell you about how they are fighting the good fight.  Fighting with exactly whom?  Well not the Taliban that's for sure but the other guys, the bad guys.  You know the guys in the other party.  Since we get emails from candidates from both major parties claiming the other guys are the bad guys, we got confused and a little frightened.  Confused and frightened because well, what if they're both right?

But the message is always the same they are fighting the good fight because they care about you and they need your support.  What kind of support?  Well money!  What else!  And, specifically your money, since they are writing to you, their friend.

So we in turn decided to ask them for their support.  I mean we're friends aren't we?  We starting doing this about six months ago.  We ask them to support NYUUGGEE!  We've been asking for the similar amounts they ask for $35, $100 or $500 and one option that is even a little less, $15.  Now that $500 request might seem a little high and it would be for you or me.  But most every elected member of the House and Senate, especially the ones that have been there a while, are multi millionaires.  And, we tell them we need their support to keep NYUUGGEE! on the internet.

After six months we think it's time to add it all up, so here is the question.  How much do you think we've gotten?

A. $15,515.00.

B. $7,500.00.

C. $575.00.

D. $15.00.

E. $0.00.

If you picked A, you're a hopeless romantic.  You've watched the movie 27 Dresses at least 10 times.  If you picked B, you're an optimistic person, you look on the bright side of things.  You watch Ellen a lot.  If you picked C, you're a wishing and hoping type of person.  You play lotto a lot.  If you said D, you want to believe but you know better.  If you said E, you're right!  You win!  But sorry, we don't have any money to send you because as you can see, we didn't get any.

Seems politicians of every stripe know how to ask you for money, they just don't know how to return the favor.  Even if they care about you and they are your friend.

The Times They Are A' Confusing

Everyone was aghast as President Old Brains looked at his watch during this somber ceremony and people wondered what was he thinking?  Well, that's not all that hard to figure out.  It was.

"Is it time to take a pill?  Did I eat lunch?  Didn't I just pee ten minutes ago?  Why do I have to pee so much?  When is lunch?"

And, we're pretty confident that was what was going on in his mind as that's what goes on in the minds of most people who are closing in on their 80th birthday and are Senile.  Now some of you might say but he's the President surely he has a lot on his mind.  And to that we say, really?

And, it's not like we don't understand.  We do.  We get confused too.  But lucky for us this is a print medium so if someone writes "transfaglemelicon", spell check tell us it's not word or even a bunch of words.  Then we make the correction.  

And, take the Kung Flu vaccine.  Please.  There are people saying take it and there are people saying don't take it.  And everyday we see stories about people who didn't take it and got the Kung Flu and stories about people who took the vaccine and got the Kung Flu.  Then there are people who died.  Some of whom got the vaccine and others didn't.  And, this goes on day after day after day.  What happens if we take the vaccine?  What happens if we don't?  And, if we make the wrong choice, will we die?

And, the way everyone yaks about this vaccine you would think it's the only one there ever was.  Like we don't get poked every year for the Flu, and there are no vaccines for Pneumonia, Tetanus not to mention all the shots kids get.  So like what's the big deal here?  

So, it's not just President Old Brains or the Elderly going Senile who are confused.  It's all of us.
