Below are questions I have asked myself throughout the past week. Instead of writing what my answers to them would be I am interested in any answers you may have, or additional questions you have asked yourself.

For the week starting Monday June 22, 2009:

When will cities and counties enter the 21st Century?

Seeing what Twitter is able to accomplish with pushing information in Iran, why are cities and counties not creating Twitter accounts—which are free—to disseminate information to their constituents, of which the majority of those under 30 do not get newspapers, listen to radio or watch news on television?

Ever heard of Lucas Glover before last Saturday morning?

What is the greatest threat to liberty?

What is the proportional relationship between snideness, hostility, and/or snarkiness and “Anonymous” when commenting on blogs and internet postings?

Why should I care what a Frenchman in Paris or a Spaniard in Madrid think about me if I don’t care what an American in Toledo, or Carson, or Belmont Shore, thinks about me?

If Social Security sends 10,000 checks to dead people under stimulus package, how many are they sending every month to dead people?

Is it me or are tattoos progressing up and down the age spectrum?

Follow up: Would you let your high school daughter get a tattoo?

Numerous estimates place the number of fraud in MediCare at 10%, Obama’s healthcare plan tops $3 Trillion, what will be the amount of fraud in dollars?

Is it the obligation of the state to try to make the imperfect perfect?

Why is gasoline in Arizona, which has not oil fields that I am aware of, fifty cents a gallon cheaper than in California?

Will the Dodgers get worse when Manny returns?

Why has South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford not yet resigned?

Your thoughts on a back-and-forth I had on Facebook: Is it hypocritical for environmentalists who have decried the current processes of manufacturing and delivering energy to sue to block the transportation (i.e. power line) of energy created by solar and wind generation plants?

Now that Rosie O’Donnell will have a daily show will you subscribe to Sirius Radio?

Did you, or your brother, have the iconic Farrah in a red swimsuit poster?

Can you, or could you ever, moonwalk?

How many thousand plus page bills that will fundamentally alter our economy and our future will Congress pass this session without reading any of the pages?

Does Congresswoman Laura Richardson (D-Long Beach; Foreclosed homeowner Sacramento) know that her vote on Cap and Trade will reduce the amount of traffic through the ports in her district and reduce the amount of work for one of her supporters: the Longshoremens Union?

When will the first lawsuit be filed over Michael Jackson’s estate?

Cookies or Pie?

After the budget crisis

Because people under 30 don’t give a rat’s ass

Ever heard of Lucas Glover before last Saturday morning?

I never heard of him before this moment

What is the greatest threat to liberty?

That in using it irresponsibly, people will destroy the very conditions that make it possible

What is the proportional relationship between snideness, hostility, and/or snarkiness and “Anonymous” when commenting on blogs and internet postings?

Self-evident

Why should I care what a Frenchman in Paris or a Spaniard in Madrid think about me if I don’t care what an American in Toledo, or Carson, or Belmont Shore, thinks about me?

It’s good to take feedback from all quarters, then know thyself.

If Social Security sends 10,000 checks to dead people under stimulus package, how many are they sending every month to dead people?

Typographical error here?


Is it me or are tattoos progressing up and down the age spectrum?

That happened 20 years ago


Follow up: Would you let your high school daughter get a tattoo?

Yes, but not in certain areas of her body

Numerous estimates place the number of fraud in MediCare at 10%, Obama’s healthcare plan tops $3 Trillion, what will be the amount of fraud in dollars?

Considering the scam that is “defense” spending, 10% of medicare aint bad. I didnt hear you complaining about halliburton or blackwater...

Is it the obligation of the state to try to make the imperfect perfect?

This is a loaded question, but I’ll answer it anyway: It is the obligation of the state to protect the weak from the mean.

Why is gasoline in Arizona, which has not oil fields that I am aware of, fifty cents a gallon cheaper than in California?

Because Arizona is impacted less by its use

Will the Dodgers get worse when Manny returns?

I couldn’t possibly care less



Why has South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford not yet resigned?

He likes his job, I guess. Also, he’s a narcissist.

Your thoughts on a back-and-forth I had on Facebook: Is it hypocritical for environmentalists who have decried the current processes of manufacturing and delivering energy to sue to block the transportation (i.e. power line) of energy created by solar and wind generation plants?

Ahem.


Now that Rosie O’Donnell will have a daily show will you subscribe to Sirius Radio?

That seems like a nonsequitor.


Did you, or your brother, have the iconic Farrah in a red swimsuit poster?

Yep, me.


Can you, or could you ever, moonwalk?

badly


How many thousand plus page bills that will fundamentally alter our economy and our future will Congress pass this session without reading any of the pages?

I’m gonna say four.

Does Congresswoman Laura Richardson (D-Long Beach; Foreclosed homeowner Sacramento) know that her vote on Cap and Trade will reduce the amount of traffic through the ports in her district and reduce the amount of work for one of her supporters: the Longshoremens Union?

It wont; to the contrary. You sound like somebody in 1974 complaining that seatbelts would sink detriot.

When will the first lawsuit be filed over Michael Jackson’s estate?

I’m saying Thursday.

Cookies or Pie?

False dichotomy!
