                     Funny Times: Oct. 1992

In Noblesville, Ind., Judge William Hughes agreed to move his
courtroom one night in Jun to a van outside the Deer Creek Music
Center so the expected rowdy fans arriving for a Grateful Dead
concert could be processed immediately upon their arrest for drugs
possession and other crimes, rather than having to wait overnight.
"It's almost a courtesy to them," said the judge.

I saw most of a re-run and thought Bush was terrible.  Nobody said anything
new, which wasn't surprising, but it was most noticeable from the Prezman.
An unimpressive trio-- Clinton appears to be the <lesser> of the evils.  The
debate itself was a major snooze.  This format of using a panel of questioners

1)   "Ordinary people" perhaps don't pay attention.  Wordslers do.

2)   Wordslers pay attention to words.  Clinton and campaign staff pay
     attention to what sells, which has little or no relation to the detail of
     what they write or say in words.

3)   If Clinton is stupid, it is true that there ought to be folks around to
     correct him, ergo it is not stupidity but deceit.

4)   One does not need to know much about economics or large amounts of money
     to understand that the top 2% =/= those making more than $200/150k; that
     marginal rates apply to taxable, not gross income; and that when Perot
     talks about reducing the national debt, Clinton AND Bush answer with
     promises to reduce the deficit, as if they were the same thing.

I am not nearly as partisan as you think.  The Greenfield bits on Nightline
were not meant to prove bias.  They merely show cluelessness.  If there is a
tendency to be clueless in Clinton's favor, I am sure *I* don't know.

I *will* say that most of these folks vying for our votes are probably guilty
of myriad dishonesties.  On the other hand, they are not usually dishonest in
the way the press say or people think they are.  Sometimes it's more serious
and sometimes less.

Well, they may have been out in Left Center, or maybe left in the player

Why, thank you for the explanation, Emily.  I hope that's what the
voters are thinking.  Last night, I was disappointed that the
candidates didn't add to their observation on when black or female
presidents would be elected, "And I hope the voters judge them on the
merits of their positions, not on the novelty of their race or sex."

That's it! I'm logging out... I'm too depressed now to have any fun.
Hmmm... wonder if there's any jellybeans left in the cupboard (anti-depressant
food).

oops.  The editor was supposed to be invoked before that was sent.

WWHOMYTV[sic] - What Will Happen On My Way To Virginia

     Giggles may live in the past (tense), but currently I am in the
future (and tense).

     Things are going well overall, but I have been given strange
news.  Part of my moving compensation is two days off with pay.
Except that if I do something silly like only take a weekend to go
from here to there, I don't get any compensating days off.  Since I am
being encouraged to take off two days during the week, I am going to
go with the flow, weak willed person that I am.  This means that I
will actually have some time to stop and visit along the way.  Hint,
hint.  My plans are currently up in the air (I do not even have a
reporting date,yet.  I just know that I will be out there by
November.)  My best guess is that I will leave October 24th and arrive
October 27th.  I will be sitting down with road maps this weekend to
plot (and post) my course.  Hope to see the occassional Words-l'er on
the way.

Whoops!  I think all the telnet platform's dropped carriers dropped my brain
too.:-)  That wasn't Marty talking.  It was Natalie replying to someone else
talking, but who was it......   Oh well - typical Usenetter goof, eh?
