In Tom Cruise's latest movie he plays a German colonel plotting to kill Hitler. It has been reported that he had dreams about Hitler as a child:

“I always wanted to kill Hitler, I hated him,” Cruise, 46, said. “As a child studying history and looking at documents, I wondered, ‘why didn’t someone stand up and try to stop it?’"

I'm wondering why the poor child wasn't told by his teachers or parents that Hitler died about seventeen years before he was born. And that someone did stand up and did stop Hitler. In fact, millions of someones gave their lives to stop him.

A 22-year-old woman is selling her virginity to the highest bidder in Nevada where prostitution is legal. Some outraged moralists are frustrated because they can't stop her. I suggest that they contact Patrick Fitzgerald. He'll find a way to put her in jail.

The greenies are in a tizzy over the amount of carbon generated by a Google search. I would guess that it's a lot less than that generated by driving to a library to perform the search.

More from Winston Churchill via Burt Prelutsky:  For a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Some people want more tax on fuel to discourage driving and the emission of carbon. But they want to spend it on improving the highway system which would encourage driving. The real reason? More money flowing through the government.

Some have said that Bernard Madoff ran the largest Ponzi scheme ever. Not even close. That record still belongs to our government's Social Security program.

From George Will: "Friday the president gave the two automakers access to money Congress explicitly did not authorize. More money than had been debated, thereby calling to mind Winston Churchill on naval appropriations: 'The Admiralty had demanded six ships, the economists offered four, and we finally compromised on eight.'"  Priceless.

I hear that Vice President-elect Joe Biden will oversee a task force that will make recommendations on how to build the ranks of the middle class. As far as I can see, he plans to do that by moving people down from the ranks of the wealthy.

My yard is filled with Robins for the first time in several months. Does that mean Spring has arrived?

There has been a lot of talk in the media about the negative symbolism from an Iraqi journalist throwing his shoes at President Bush. They haven't said much about the positive symbolism from several other Iraqi journalists jumping up and taking the shoe thrower down to the floor and restraining him.

People in the Northeastern US are suffering from a record ice storm. I'll bet they wouldn't mind some global warming. I think it's time for Al Gore to put up or shut up.

Buzzards are circling my house about ten feet off the ground. I wonder if they know something I don't.

In his weekly radio address Barack Obama said that he wants to install energy-saving light bulbs in federal buildings to cut costs and create jobs. Hmm. I would've thought federal buildings already have someone on staff who can change light bulbs.

I'm still looking for that global warming Al Gore promised us. It's 24 degrees here in Florida this morning. That's a record for this date.

The New York Times spews hate for the South because it mostly preferred McCain over Obama. They somehow divine that it is clearly due to Obama's race. I filched their divining rod and found that New York City is also racist. In the February primary they voted 56% to 44% for Clinton over Obama. Yep, it's gotta be racism.

Dr Walter E. Williams: "Maybe the election of a black president will help white people over their guilt feelings so they can stop acting like fools in their relationships with black people."

I heard this morning that Paulson is really pushing the bailout money out to banks now, including to some that don't need it or want it. I wonder how much Joseph A. Bank got.

Some dork at AP thinks VP Dick Cheney uses buckshot to shoot quail. Guide for AP writers: Buck hunters use buckshot. Bird hunters use birdshot. Further clarification: Quail are birds, not deer.

What does it say about a political party that relies so strongly on young, less-informed voters?

A couple of times now I've heard Obama say essentially this: "If McCain learns that I once shared my toys with a kindergarten friend he'll probably try to use that to prove that I'm a socialist." McCain should come back with this: "No Barack, socialism is more like when you force another kid to share his toys with your friend and you keep all your toys to yourself."
