National Month of ? Is bin Laden DEAD?

OCTOBER 3, 2010

As most of us know, every month is designated as the National FILL IN THE BLANK  Month.  This month is no different. October is National Pizza Month, one of my favorites. It is also National Pasta Month. These two seem related. I think one of the organizations is not paying attention. They could have their own month if they would just switch to a different month.

Food is big in October. It is National Dessert, Month, National Gourmet Adventures Month, National Pretzel Month, National Pickled Peppers Month, National Seafood Month, National Vegetarian Awareness Month, you can skip that one, National Apple Month, National Popcorn Poppin’ Month, National Applejack Month, that seems like piling on, National Cook Book Month, National Hunger Awareness Month, in case you have any food left over after all the celebrations, National Caramel Month, National Cookie Month, big at my house, National Country Ham Month, you gotta love it, National Health Care Food Service Month, for those of us who eat ourselves into the hospital or need Meals –on- Wheels, National Pork Month, more piling on, National Restaurant Hospitality Month, this should be practiced every month and National Spinach-Lovers’ Month, a small celebration.

It is also National Kitchen and Bath Month, which is being celebrated the same month as National Toilet Tank Repair Month. Every one celebrates by doing the ‘flapper’ when dancing this month. The celebratory ideas are endless when you put your mind to thinking about new uses for your “ballcock’ mechanism. It is a good month to remember that 75 % of the water used in your home is used in the bathroom.

Rod Blagojevich, the disgraced former governor of Illinois has been named the most unpopular person ever to be the subject of a statewide survey by Public Policy Polling.

The poll out Friday finds an embarrassing 83 percent of voters in Illinois have an unfavorable opinion of Blagojevich with only 8 percent who see him positively. That's a spread of 75 percentage points. Easily, it is the largest difference ever in these surveys. Way to go Rod. You finally made it back to number one in Illinois.

Osama bin Laden has allegedly released his second audio tape in less than twenty four hours. In both tapes, he urges more aid to the Pakistan flood victims, from Muslims. He even criticizes Pakistan’s leaders for not doing enough. He does not urge the destruction of the free world, apparently realizing that the only aid these folks are getting is from the ‘infidels’. It appears to be a softer, gentler bin Laden. Once again, however, he does not appear by video only audio. The tape mentions current events in an effort to prove it was recently made, but it cannot be proven bin Laden actually made it.

The reason he does not appear on video, I think, is because he is either too sick to appear on camera, a widely held view or he is dead, another widely held position. Perhaps it is just wishful thinking. It is known he has several body doubles who look like him and have been trained to sound like him. I think the last six or more tapes have been by a stand-in. These cowards don’t want their sheep like followers to know the chief coward is spending eternity in hell.

At the end of this blog is a listing of my blogs and websites. The last four listed are new. I am still building them but you can visit them to get a sneak peek. Once the construction is complete, I think they will be interesting, entertaining and informative.

I will be away tomorrow and unavailable to write my blog. See you all on Tuesday.
