A quote from the writings of Prince Sined Yar Mharg, “While smoking a cigar, we are in the presence of eternity. The tobacco reminds us of the earth, from which it and we came. As with ourselves, the life of some cigars is short, while others last a while longer, but in the end all are consumed. But the smoke, ah, the smoke! The smoke drifts gently heavenward on its quest to combine with the great eternal oneness.” And I might add, it does not cause Global Warming! Prince Sined Yar Mharg also said, “There are five things that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.” Cigars are all right in moderation. You should only smoke one at a time. Have a cigar_light one up and be somebody!

WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IS...
A good, affordable, cigar. A fine cigar and good literature are two of life’s most enduring pleasures. Cigars and sipping whisky with friends creates harmony and peace. Even common men become thinkers and philosophers with the aid of a cigar. Uncommon men (such as Winston Churchill) accomplish astonishing things with the aid of a cigar. A cigar can sooth a troubled spirit and calm an angry passion. It is also a celebration of life. Great cigars are a source of pleasure and an indulgence like fine wine. Every man deserves a good smoke. President Obama should use some of the stimulus money to buy Cuban Cigars for all our citizens. It will make us all happy and improve our relationship with Cuba.

REFORM BY UNCONSTITUTIONAL MEANS IS WRONG!
The Senate’s Health Care Bill is being passed by use of bribery and extortion. The vote of some state senators was bought by promising huge specific benefits that are not offered to all the states. Reputable polls indicate that 65% of our citizens are not in favor of this bill. Our representatives are supposed to represent the will of the people not their own special interest. The wise man does not expect perfection in any human undertaking; neither does he expect complete and total failure. This Health Care Bill is a complete and total failure! It is a disaster. There have been crises in our past, as well as in the present. But this is a big one that will be difficult to recover from. I hope we will be able to regain our footing and get back to the basic principles of our nation’s constitution.
Maybe we need a refresher as to what congress is allowed to do. Look up Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. The government does not have any power and authority not specifically named in the constitution. That is why we have an amendment process. We needed an amendment to ban liquor, and then another to repeal the ban.Unless you can quote article and section of the constitution that makes it constitutional, it is unconstitutional. That is the way our constitution was set up.With regard to our liberties, unless it is specifically prohibited, we are allowed. With regard to the government's powers, unless it is specifically allowed, it is prohibited.That is the way our government was set up. Despicable individuals are trying to erode the meaning of our constitution. We must stop these anti-liberty individuals!
We are free
Let’s keep it that way!

GREATEST SCAM IN HISTORY!
Yesterday, in Copenhagen, Sonny Elliot, Michigan’s representative at the United Nations climate summit, made an impassioned plea for more sunshine in the state of Michigan. He said that it has never been colder or as dreary in his home state. He pointed out that Tuvalu, a Pacific Island, is sunny and warm while people in Michigan are depressed and freezing their asses off. United Kingdom’s Climate Secretary, Ed Miliband, said that England has always been cloudy and cold. He did not think that Michigan should be first in line for more sunshine. Bill Spencer, representing Ohio, said he was not in favor of sharing sunshine with Michigan. Mr. Elliot said that he would continue to campaign for a larger allocation of sunshine until the closing session of the talks on Friday. I wish him luck!
In other news from the climate summit, the G77-China bloc, speaking for developing countries, pointed out that the rich nations of Europe and the United States have already used up over half of the world’s supply of fossil fuels. The chief negotiator for China, Mr. We-Fooka-yu, said that the US and EU should immediately stop using oil and gas so that China can use the second half of these fossil-fuels. He said, “China deserves the right to finish polluting the world”. “It is our turn to get rich by burning up the rest of the world’s natural resources!” President Obama said, “Gee, that sounds fair to me. Let me check with congress and get back to you.” And so, 100 heads of state and government continue to waste time and energy discussing an issue that they have absolutely no control over_the weather! Global Warming is the biggest scam in history!
There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is the United Nations climate summit. It is using fake science to accomplish selfish political ends. The African nations are asking for billions of dollars in reparation because rich nations (United States) wrecked their climate by burning carbon fuels. Give me a break! The liberal press only publishes information about Global Warming that is ‘supposedly’ man made. Well guess what, there are many reputable scientist, including the founder of the weather channel, who say that Global Warming is not man made. They say that there have always been climate cycles since the beginning of time. 100 year cycles, 1000 year cycles, 10,000 year cycles, and 1,000,000 year cycles. We bounce back and forth between ice ages and warming ages. The cause of these cycles is the long elliptical orbit of the earth around the sun, the wobble of the earth, the turning of the earth on its axis, the fluctuating heat of the sun and other recurring events in our Solar System. Any climate change caused by man is insignificant. The Global Warming issue is a bogus crisis. Everyone knows if you do not like the climate, just wait awhile and it will change.
Whether the climate be cold or hot,
Changed by man, it is not!!

MYSTERIOUS BLACK BOX
Do you know what a black box is? There are many black boxes. In aviation there is the flight recorder used on commercial aircraft to record flight data. In electronics it is a sealed piece of replaceable equipment. In computing it is a closed-source program. In philosophy and psychology it is the human mind. In cryptography it is used to capture the notion of knowledge obtained by an algorithm through the execution of a cryptographic protocol such as zero-knowledge proof protocol. Well, everyone knows about these black boxes but I am referring to one that I recently learned about in the ‘Wine Spectator’ magazine. It is a relatively new ‘Black Box’ that is used to market quality wine at a reasonable price.
Box wine is a wine that is packaged in a plastic bladder inside of a cardboard box. No cork, no bottle, just a spigot that you press to draw a glass of wine. Up until recently it was cheap wine of questionable quality. But now, the ‘Black Box’ company is selling high quality wine in a box. I recently purchased a Black Box of Cabernet Sauvignon for the price of $20.00. It holds the equilivant of four standard bottles of wine. So, I got a wonderful wine for $5.00 per bottle. Wine of this quality normally sells for at least $15.00 per bottle. I figure that I saved $40.00! Bag-in-box packaging is not inferior to bottles, but is preferred by some wineries because it is far less expensive, lighter to ship, and more environmentally friendly than bottled wine. Unlike bottled wine, which goes bad a few days after opening, boxed wine stays fresh for weeks after opening since the vacuum-sealed pouch does not allow the wine to be exposed to air. I have become a big fan of ‘Black Box’ wine. Try it; you’ll like it. And it will save a lot of money for you!

MY CANOE HAS SUNK! CAN I STILL BUY INSURANCE?
Yes, under the public option government insurance plan, which eliminates exclusions for preexisting conditions, you can buy coverage even after your canoe has capsized! You can wait until you have an accident and then buy coverage to cover your hospital bills. You can wait until you have an illness and then buy coverage for your hospital bills. What a marvelous plan! How can they do that? Easy, they just make everyone buy health insurance. If you refuse to buy coverage, the government will make you pay a hefty fine. Never mind that the people who cannot afford the health insurance premium will, also, not be able to pay the fine. But if they don’t pay the fine, the government will put them in jail. But wait, that’s OK because then the government will pay their cost of health care (as well as their cost for food and shelter).
There are a couple of things to worry about. How much will it cost to verify that 300,000,000 people are properly insured for health care expenses? And how much will it cost to administer all those fines that won’t be paid? And how in the world will the government pay for all those expensive preexisting conditions? Oh, here’s an idea. The government can guarantee payment of health expenses incurred by each citizen by putting it on a Chinese debit card. A couple of trillion dollars added to our debt to China won’t even be noticed. And what about the destruction of our private insurance companies who won’t be able to compete against a government plan that gives away money. Oh well, in the face of an unstable economy and an uncertain future, I guess we don’t need private insurance companies. We have the government to take care of us!????
