Hi,

Today President Obama pledged his support for same-sex marriage. This can only mean that he has had enough of the Presidency and is ready to “spend more time with his family.” Of course that is a politically correct way to say he is throwing in the towel. It’s a tough job so no one can really blame him, although perhaps he should have just decided not to run. Maybe someone else would have liked a chance.

There are very few issues that can energize the Republican base like gay marriage. This is sure to bring out the right-wing vote like nothing else. I’m sure there are pro-gay people out there but they are certainly outnumbered in the US – especially among people who actually vote. Whether or not the population supports or opposes gays is irrelevant – it only matters what people who vote think.

So welcome President Romney!

Does this mean the US will soon enter another war? Does it mean that wealth will be more extensively redistributed to the upper class? We can’t say for sure but both issues are more likely than not.

Belvita and Velveeta

Hi,

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this Belvita breakfast food that Kraft has been advertising lately. The first few times I heard the ad, I thought they were saying “Velveeta,” the cheese-like food. I kept thinking, “Why would you eat Velveeta for breakfast?”

Then i started wondering why they would call it Belvita when it sounds so much like Velveeta. It seems too confusing to me. I guess since Kraft makes both products they must know what they are doing. And the got dopes like me to type about it, so of course all publicity is good.

Well done, Kraft. Well done.

I haven’t tried the product and I really don’t plan to. I’m sure it’s great.

After tying the above, I was looking for an image on the internet. I just found out that they are using a lower case v and a capital V. Geez what’s that all about?

belVita and Velveeta. Why capitalize the V and not the b?

Life Lessons

Hi,

Hopefully everyone learns lessons throughout their life. Some will learn lessons that they can use to improve their lot in life.

Sadly, most of the lessons that I have learned were painful. Here are a few of the most prominent:

1. Doing the right thing usually means doing the thing that is least pleasant

2. People come and go in your life. Hopefully your family will be there throughout. Friends are not family.

3. You have to stand on your own two feet. People really don’t give a care if you succeed or fail. They are worried about themselves.

4. Ignoring your problems won’t make them go away.

5. Getting out of your comfort zone makes you grow.

That’s enough for now.

The History Channel

history channel cable tv network

Hi,

I few years ago I became a fan of The History Channel. I think it started when I watched the bonus discs that came with DVD’s like The Aviator and Alexander. They contained features produced by the History Channel, and they were far better than the movies on disc 1.

When I was in school it seemed like we covered the same topics in history every year – things like the American Revolution, Civil War, WW I&II. As I started watching the History Channel more, I actually got mad that there was so much interesting history that I was never exposed to in school.

If the people at the network would have listened to me, I would have suggested a couple of ideas. Since I think the production of their features is so interesting, I would have suggested that they start producing feature films based on historical events and characters. Next, I would have suggested some kind of history-based theme park. They could reproduce ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece, medieval times, etc. It seems like a no-brainer.

Over the years, I have noticed that the History Channel has changed a lot. They now seem to emphasize shows about aliens, UFOs, and assorted things that would be more appropriate on The Discovery Channel. I hardly watch it anymore.

Well there you go.
