Trailer Trash Philosopher

The definition of a philosopher is a person who offers views or theories on profound questions in ethics, metaphysics, logic, and other related fields. On the other hand I would classify myself as a trailer trash philosopher because I have lots of thoughts and profound questions about the world, sandwiched with a nice slice of judgement in the middle....and so comes the second edition of Annie's newspaper....

"Infertility May Be a Blessing"

Randal Ellis who is serving 3 years in prison for placing 185 bogus 911 calls and sending out the SWAT team to unsuspecting homes across the country. We hope he is sterile.

"Just Cause You Swim Fast...Don't Make You Smart"

Michael Phelps should call Bill Clinton, the "I didn't inhale worked once before." Of course, being photographed sucking on a bong is a tough sell...you could say you were blowing into it????

"Stay-cations"

The growing trend in this economy is to vacation at home. Problem is the mail keeps coming, the telemarketers keep calling and somebody has got to make the meals.

"The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian"

You must read Feb. 2Nd's editorial page...In My View...it could not have been said any better.

"Husband, Wife die together after 62 years of Marriage"

Robert Moser lived by a simple mantra, "Happy wife, happy life" and so when his wife passed away he told his family he was terminal also and passed away 6 hours later. The children had them buried the same way they lived...together in the same casket. Statistically there seems to be a phenomenon where couples who have been together a long time may opt to subconsciously hasten or postpone their own deaths. So, in another 30 years when Greg and I hit 62 years of marriage and should I kick the bucket, I want to be cremated and sprinkled a little in Monterey Bay and a little on the summit of Mt. Bachelor...because I am sure than Greg would not like to forever lie in a pink silk lined casket..even if, I was in it.
