You can thank Sandy

"You can thank Sandy"  A friend got a marketing E-mail for some webinar saying that due to an overwhelming demand from people affected by Hurricane Sandy the discount registration period was being extended. The E-mail opened with large, bold type "You can thank Sandy." Shortly thereafter, he received another E-mail from that company apologizing for the insensitive tone of the first E-mail. E-mail #2 also added that appropriate steps were taken to make sure this would never happen again.  I have to say that I didn't find the Sandy reference insensitive and I certainly hope that appropriate steps doesn't mean that someone lost a job. How do other people feel about this? Given that the current Noreaster is being referred to as Son of Sandy is anyone really offended?

Not all terrorist acts are created eqaully according to Donald and Steve.

I saw a post earlier today in which the person making the post included a photo of  Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon Bombers.  The posters mocked those opposing the ban on refugees from Muslim majority countries.  Reminding readers that these two were refugees.

What wasn’t said in the post is that these two murderers were from the RUSSIAN REPUBLIC of Chechnya, a cauldron and exporter of radical Islam.

Somehow, there are no bans on refugees from Russia.  Would that cause the Vladimir not to like the the Donald and the Steve?  Would it impair the Donald’s business deals in Russia?  

While we’re at it, how is it that the ban does not include Saudi Arabia, the country of origin for most of the 9/11 attackers? 

Delve into the power of twelve

Wednesday is 12/12/12!  

Make of it what you will.

I just got in from a 5 miler on the American River Parkway. On the way back to the office I guy came up from the horse trail and said he just saw a Doe chasing a coyote. I've never seen that happen and I guess she was protecting her young. I think she went "Mommy Deerest" on the coyote. I'm just sayin'

People came up with a lot of great concepts for this site.
