Quickie 4

Live a good life, if for no other reason than because in the afterlife, they will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there is no afterlife, then you will have enjoyed a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones...

Short Version: Attitude is everything: pick a Good One.

Quickie 3

Knowing how to do something is less important than knowing how to get it done.

Quickie 2

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging government bureaucrats to "think outside the box" when I have at least a little evidence there is any thinking going on inside it.

Amphorism 1

"Death is God's way of ending a pointless argument."

COMMENT

Steve,

Jeff Shultz wrote a sports article in the AJC in which he said some disparaging things about Rush Limbaugh. Wingnut sports fans were incensed and I laughed at some of their comments so hard my side hurt. In between tears I had time to add this one in:

FREEDOM'S LIBERTY FOUNDATION is offering a new, online course. "ObamoSocialism 101" will show you with easy to follow pictures and pie charts how the American islamo/intellecto/communisto alliance has joined forces with the illuminato/homo/drugo cartel to flood our schools with nude pictures of Carmen Miranda and Estes Kefauver. OS101 will teach you how to fight back! Things like how to create alarming images by simply adding "o" to politically perjorative words and stringing them together with hash marks. You can download the course at: FREEDOM'S LIBERTY . EDU. But first be sure to turn off your firewall and set your browser's security level to "total dumbass"...

Quickie: Setting Goals

The purpose of Life is not to just survive the storm, but to learn how to dance in the rain.

P.S. Chris - I'm creating this category - "Quickies" - as a place to submit our own collection of one-liner (or very brief) 'Lazarus Long' style observations on life or whatever. Just an idea...

April Fools?

I was busy patting myself on the back for having been successful in resisting the urge to post an April-Fools blog entry - then had this one pointed out to me. We can only wish it were so... Enjoy: http://blogs.reuters.com/gregg-easterbrook/2010/04/01/global-news-roundup/
