My friend Pat Bertram is more consistent with bloggin than I am, but often says thinking of something to post about isn’t always that easy.  She’s right. As I pondered today’s post, I kept thinking of things I shouldn’t say. I decided keeping silent about them would be considered a sign of wisdom. So here is today’s list of discarded topics/questions:

• How many hookers can you squeeze in a typical ice-fishing shanty?
• If you’re a priest and say a wrong word in your baptism sacraments for twenty years making them invalid, can all those people sue?
• Why the “Jeopardy” producers can’t make up their minds and hire a permanent host.
• If a person has a 3G life support system in a 5G world, does s/he need to call a priest for last rites and then hope the guy doesn’t say a wrong word?
• What “personality” rocked a slinky dress at an event last night.
• Drug testing at the Olympic Games.
• Protesters clogging up U.S./Canadian border crossing. Hell, you couldn’t even get into Sweet Grass, Montana from Alberta.
• Does an airliner captain really need to make an emergency landing because somebody saw a snake?
• Are those Viagra starter packs really safe?
• Or perhaps, offer a eulogy for the last A&W restaurant closing in Atascadero?

There is a lot of rant-ready material here, but my Tarot cards told me you didn’t really want to hear it.
