FRIDAY NOVEMBER 3,2006

THOUGHT FOR TODAYTo judge from the covers of countless women's magazines, the two topics most interesting to women are: (1) Why men are all disgusting pigs, and (2) How to attract men.

"I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a "learning
experience." Then again, I like to think of anything stupid
I've done as a "learning experience." It makes me feel less
stupid." --P. J. O'Rourke

The supermarket had a sale on boneless chicken breasts and
I intended to stock up. At the store, however, I was disap-
pointed to find only a few skimpy pre-packaged portions of
the poultry, so I complained to the butcher.

"Don't worry," she said, "I'll pack some more trays and have
them ready for you by the time you finish shopping."

Several aisles later, I heard the lady butcher's voice boom
over the public-address system: "Will the gentleman who was
looking for bigger breasts please meet me at the back of the
store."

When everybody on earth was dead and waiting to enter Paradise, God appeared
and said, "I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men who were
true heads of their household, and the other line for the men who were
dominated by their women. I want all the women to report to St. Peter."
Soon, the women were gone and there were two lines of men.
The line of the men who were dominated by their wives was 100 miles long,
and in the line of men who truly were heads of their household, there was
only one man.
God said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves, I created you to be the
head of your household! You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled
your purpose! Of all of you, only one obeyed. Learn from him."
God turned to the one man, "How did you manage to be the only one in this
line?"
The man replied, "My wife told me to stand here".

The woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed way too
qualified for the job. 'Look, Miss,' said the foreman, "Do you have any
experience in picking lemons?"

"Well, as a matter of fact, yes!" she replied. "I've been divorced three
times!"

"I remember Halloween. When I was a kid mom dressed me up
six years in a row as a tramp. High heels, fishnets, it
was bad." --Dave Letterman

"Beverly Hills is the worst place for trick-or-treating.
It's a little different here. The kids email you pictures

"This week the British government hired Al Gore as a global
warming adviser. Gore says he's looking forward to being
completely ignored in a new country." --Conan O'Brien

The map her friend had drawn indicated that the client, a
country vet she was to see, lived in the second farm past
Yin road. Try as she might, the vet could not find a Yin
Road anywhere! Exasperated, she finally stopped to ask
directions.

She stopped and asked at the next farm. "I ain't never
heard of no Yin Road." said the farmer. "But ya might try
askin' old man McGillicuddy, he's lived 'round here for
better 'n 70 years."

"Thanks," replied the vet. "Where can I find him?"

"He lives on the second farm past the Y in the road."

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday
morning. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of
them are hurt.

God works in Mysterious ways.

After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man. That's
interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars, there's nothing left
of them, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet
and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."

Flattered, the man replies, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely; this must
be a sign from God!"

The woman continues, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is
completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants

us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."

Then she hands the bottle to the man.

The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle, and
then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle and immediately
puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.

The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"

The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police...."

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Don't mess with them.

When I was working as a clerk at a sporting-goods store, a woman came up
to my register with a package of white athletic socks. "Will you open
this up so I can see how the socks feel?" she asked.
Reluctantly I tore open the package, and she scrutinized the
merchandise. She handed me the package, saying, "I like them."
Relieved, I started to ring her up, until she interrupted me.
"Can I have another pack? This one's been opened."

A girlfriend I used to have was raised in Sweden. Yet she spoke
English without an accent. However, every now and again, she would mix
up some idiomatic phrases.
One day a man entered the office where she worked as a
secretary. Using a Swedish phrase, but not quite translating it right,
she asked, "May I help you take your clothes off?"
The man, startled, stepped back. Realizing what she had said,
but trying to put him at ease, she added, "It's okay, really. I'm
Swedish."

During mail call one evening at Marine Corps boot camp, I
received several letters from home. The drill instructor was getting
irritated at having to keep calling my name.
"You must have a lot of people at home who like you, huh?" he
barked.
"Sir, no, sir!" I shouted.
"Oh, so you're calling me a liar?" goaded the DI.
Trained as a Marine to think quickly on my feet, I yelled out,
"Sir, creditors, sir!
The DI had to leave the room to keep us from seeing him laughing
hysterically.

I dialed a number and got the following recording: "I am not available
right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not
return your call, you are one of the changes."

A West Texas cowboy was herding his cows in a remote pasture when
suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban
sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy,
"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your
herd, will you give me a calf?"

The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his
peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer,
connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a
NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation
system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another
NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe PhotoShop and
exports it to an image processing! facility in Hamburg, Germany.
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image
has been processed and the data stored.

He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel
spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes,
receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his
hi-! tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to
the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says
the cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on
amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you
exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why
not?"

You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says the cowboy.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here
even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I
already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much
smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows........

Little Tommy had been to a birthday party at a friend's house. Knowing his
sweet tooth, Tommy's mother looked straight into his eyes and said, "I hope
you didn't ask for a second piece of cake."
"No, but I asked Mrs. Smith for the recipe so you could make some like it,
and she gave me two more pieces without asking."

Noah was standing at the gangplank checking off the pairs of
animals when he saw three camels trying to get on board.

"Wait a minute!" he said. "Two each is the limit. One of you
will have to stay behind."

"It won't be me," said the first camel. "I'm the camel whose
back is broken by the last straw."

"I'm the one people swallow while straining at a gnat," said
the second.

"And I am the one that shall pass through the eye of a needle
sooner than a rich man shall enter heaven." said the third.

"Well, I guess you had better all come in," said Noah, "the
world is going to need all of you."

As my five year old son and I were headed to McDonald's one day, we passed a
car accident. Usually when we see something terrible like that, we say a
prayer for those who might be hurt, so I pointed and said to my son, "We
should pray."
>From the back seat I heard his earnest request: "Please, God, don't let
those cars block the entrance to McDonald's."

Little Johnny breaks wind in the classroom again. This is not the first
time he has done this and his teacher gets really upset with him this
time and sends him out. He goes and sits outside the class but he can't
stop laughing.

The principle walks by and sees him sitting outside laughing. He says,
"Now, Johnny, what are you doing sitting out here laughing ?"

Little Johnny says, "I broke wind in class and Miss threw me out"

The principle says, "Quite rightly! So, why are you laughing ?"

Little Johnny says, "Cause those silly buggars are still sitting in
class with the result of my effort, and they put me outside in this
beautiful fresh air!"

Safety is a major concern at the manufacturing company where
I work. So I'm constantly preaching caution to the workers I
supervise. "Does anyone know," I asked a few guys, "what the
speed limit is in our parking lot?"

The long silence that followed was interrupted when one of
them piped up. "That depends. Do you mean coming in to work
or leaving?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man was helping one of his cows give birth, when he
noticed his 4-year-old son standing wide-eyed at the
fence, soaking in the whole event. The man thought,
"Great...he's 4 and I'm gonna have to start explaining
the birds and bees. No need to jump the gun - I'll just
let him ask, and I'll answer."    After everything was
over, the man walked over to his son and said,
"Well son, do you have any questions?"
"Just one." gasped the still wide-eyed lad.
"How fast was that calf going when he hit that cow?"

Blood test may diagnose Alzheimer's

LONDON, -- British scientists say they are moving closer
to finding a blood test that can detect the existence of
Alzheimer's disease before it becomes symptomatic. Scien-
tists at King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry
report finding levels of two types of protein found in
the blood can indicate an increased risk of having the
disease, The Scotsman reported Monday. Tests found an
increased level of those proteins was present only with
patients suffering from the disease. The researchers say
their discovery might eventually lead to a blood test to
diagnose the likelihood of developing the disease in
later life. The study appears in the journal Brain.

Enzyme involved in allergic diseases found

RICHMOND, Va., -- A U.S. research team says it has identi-
fied an enzyme involved in allergic reactions, possibly
providing a new target for the treatment of such maladies.
The scientists from Virginia Commonwealth University, the
Hospital for Special Surgery and Weill Cornell Medical
College in New York note allergic diseases such as asthma
and hay fever afflict about 30 percent of people in the
developed world -- and allergic reactions are the sixth
leading cause of chronic disease in the United States. The
team has demonstrated, for the first time, the role of a
proteolytic enzyme called ADAM10 that releases a major
allergy regulatory protein from the surface of cells and,
thereby, promotes a stronger allergic response. "Our re-
search, for the first time, may represent a treatment
strategy to prevent, rather than simply control, IgE-med-
iated allergy," said VCU Professor Daniel Conrad. IgE is
an antibody known to trigger Type I allergic disease.
"Understanding ADAM10's role in allergic disease makes it
a potential target for the design of drugs to treat asthma
and allergic disease." The research appears online in the
journal Nature Immunology.

Scientists work on antiaging drugs

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., -- Researchers in Massachusetts are test-
ing drugs that mimic the properties of a substance in red
wine called resveratrol that is believed to combat aging.
Preliminary tests show resveratrol has the same effect as
cutting calorie intake by a third which scientists say
boosts the life spans animals by as much as 40 percent,
The Wall Street Journal reports. The focus of coming up
with a drug that has the same effects as resveratrol is
not to extend life but rather to develop therapies for
diseases since the Food and Drug Administration doesn't
recognize aging as a problem. However, if a drug can re-
tard aging, it might delay the onset and possibly the
progression of age-related diseases, says University of
Illinois epidemiologist S. Jay Olshansky. Interest in re-
sveratrol began three years ago when a group at Harvard
reported that it boosted the life of yeast cells by 70
percent. Today, Cambridge-based Sirtris Pharmaceuticals
and Elixir Pharmaceuticals are among companies working
on development of drugs that mimic calorie restriction.

SENIORS HAVE PLENTY RIDING ON THIS ELECTION

By Frank Kaiser Who shall it be? Seldom in my 70 years has there been an election with so many senior issues on the block. Privatize Social Security. Eliminate Medicare�s donut hole or, eliminate Medicare. Legalize importing affordable drugs. Increase our minimum wage. (One in five of us over 65 works, often for diddly-squat.)

And, perhaps, most important to those of us who still remember a government that was of, by, and especially for the people: Rescue our democracy.

The issues are clear. But whom shall we vote for?

The Republicans�

� Who failed to pass any substantive legislation this term except to provide half the money to fence one-third of our southern border?

� Who buried every bill that would have improved seniors� lives?

� Who pushed our country to the brink of bankruptcy?

� Who refused to demand even minimal competence and planning from their leaders?

� Who shamed themselves and our nation by voting for torture and against Constitutional and human rights dating back to 1215 A.D.?

� Who are so morally crippled that they've sacrificed our treasury, our jobs, our homeland, even our safety to oil, chemical, timber, mining, insurance, pharmaceutical, and defense corporations for the sake of a buck, a free trip, or casual sexual companionship?

� And who seem incapable of contrition for past mistakes � witness New Orleans, Afghanistan and Iraq � and blind to the certain future catastrophe of warring with Iran?

Or the Democrats�

� Who are equally opportunistic, equally susceptible to scandal?

� Who fear the Republican press and propaganda machine more than they fear losing, not just elections but democracy itself?

� Who haven't the courage to get behind a single original idea to save their political skins?

� Who silently and uncannily blend into the Congressional woodwork while the majority party gives away the store?

� And who cower from any discussion of the plight of the aged poor, the uneducated, the uninsured, and the dispossessed, those unfortunates who once were the heartbeat of the party?

Today, both parties appear to take orders from the same boss. No, not we the people, but corporations that value their own profits far more than they value their own country.

Tough choice.

Lose Medicare and Social Security?

Where�s a third-party superman like Teddy Roosevelt when we need him? Unfortunately, our two major parties have made third parties all but impossible in this country.

If we decide that status quo is as good as we can get, we must prepare ourselves for completely privatized Medicare and Social Security, for a likely attack on Iran while Iraq and Afghanistan fall into a pit of death and sorrow, and for further �inalienable� rights to be suspended for the duration of an unending war.

And somewhere down the road, we must steel ourselves for a calamitous economic collapse when China and others (we even owe Mexico!) demand repayment of debt � all that money Congress has been squandering wildly these last six years for wars, tax cuts and corporate favors.

The other day, I asked a friend who is active in the Democratic establishment what the heck was wrong with his party. He responded, "The Democrats lack heart, lack vision, lack leadership and, in my view, lack a coherent plan of how to maximize their resources."

That's not promising.

The Republicans, on the other hand, are unexcelled at winning elections. Problem is, we can�t expect a party to govern well that is cynical toward democracy � witness recent unabashed gerrymandering and election tampering � and dead-set against the power of government to help folks.

One thing is clear. The party in power is inept. Like a favorite old aunt who no longer can be trusted with money, we must take away their checkbook.

If the Democrats win power in both houses of Congress, they must quickly find their groove. They must realize that they have to perform like the patriots they once were or risk losing everything in 2008.

So what should one do? We all know the stakes, the choices. We can hold our noses if we must, but we can�t not vote.

Personally as a registered Independent who over the years has voted Democratic, Republican, even � and as a person who has closely watched seniors� and others� rights dwindle over the last six years � I�ll vote for change.

A Time to Be Silent

A pilot had turned off his radio in order to elude the enemy, but as he came across the channel, he turned it on again and began turning the dial to find the proper frequency, which changed from time to time.

His plane was almost out of petrol, and he was terrified of what might happen if he ran out and did not find his way precisely toward the goal he was seeking.

As he twiddled the dial, he broke out in perspiration. Finally, he caught a faint signal and adjusted the dial. The signal came in strong and clear.

He changed his flight path onto the signal and landed safely at his airport.

We're all trying to do that in life. We're trying to pick up those signals that tell us who we are, what direction we ought to be headed, and where home is.

As we fiddle with the dial and adjust the signal receiver in our lives, we begin to hear in the stillness and the quietness a voice telling us where home is.

We are able to readjust our patterns and head homeward.

That's the promise of the text. If we will be still, we will know that God is God; we will know which way to go toward God.

-- John Killinger
