Sunday sundries
When did interviewers decide they were the voice of prurient inanity? What happened to Mike Wallace who was once a serious interviewer? Tonight on 60 Minutes, apparently he asks the Romneys if they 'engaged in premarital sex'. Who still calls it that? Whose business is it? What possible relevance does it have to anything? Unless, of course, Mike Wallace himself is rewriting the Kinsey Report and the prepublicity for the show neglected to mention it.
There's a cool wind blowing (my paraphrase) and the summer's previously expected churning weather may well actually be calmer than usual. Ha. When will the prognosticators accept the fact that you can't draw conclusions about the universe with only a few decades of evidence?
I filled my car's gas tank yesterday, then, just two miles north, the price was 15 cents less per gallon and stayed there for 20 miles. What's up with that??
It doesn't really matter that Obama made a mistake and said 10,000 people died in the Kansas tornado - everyone makes mistakes, after all - but what does matter is that his judgment is such that he tried to slither out of it by saying he was tired instead of just that he flubbed. Already he's SO tired that he makes such that huge a mistake? Does he listen to himself? Didn't he notice that there was sadness but not much fuss? Wouldn't there have been huge deal going on if three times the number who died on 9/11 had died in the tornado? What kind of attention is he paying? (And people freak out when GWB mispronounces 'nuclear'?)
In a comment to my post on Kansas, CG Hill wrote something that made me laugh so hard I have to put it here: "Were an asteroid to sweep out of the sky and sideswipe the planet, people would still blame Bush. I have often wondered why, if he has such amazing powers, he doesn't just use the Mute Ray (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) on these whiners once and for all." I guess either GWB is a masochist or he doesn't have such phenomenal powers. Hmm, I wonder which.
By the way, happy mother's day! As musing minds points out, "without a mother, there would be no you." For myself, I feel very important today because without me, there would be neither of t2cgitw. I am wonderful!

The premarital sex question is totally ludicrous. How can Wallace look in the mirror each morning? (To be snarky, he probably doesn't considering the ravages of age on his face.)
I've noticed the gas price differences also. Fortunately, I bought gas at one of the cheap stations.
