Just another cold and crappy day in Maine and if you want live here you’d better learn to love this insane winter weather. I seem to run a bit slower when it’s cold and nasty and my desire to post long and involved articles has disappeared. Today will be another “mish/mosh” of interesting and sometimes strange facts you may not be familiar with. Here we go . . . .
- The continent with the highest literacy rate is Antarctica.
- The country of Saudi Arabia really does import a better quality sand to make glass.
- The Smithsonian archives allegedly hold a jar containing a rubber mold of John Dillinger’s penis.
- The United States bought Alaska from Russia for a price that equated to under two cents per acre.
- Soviet scientists once tried to create a human/chimpanzee hybrid. It failed.
- Confederate general Robert E. Lee didn’t own slaves, but Union general Ulysses S. Grant did.
- People in the Roman Empire actually used human urine as mouthwash.
- Adolph Hitler had a nephew, William Hitler, AKA William Stuart-Houston, who served in the U.S Navy during the war.
- The kazoo was invented by a gentleman named Alabama Vest.
- During WW1 Americans referred to sauerkraut as “liberty cabbage”.

The male Argonaut Octopus mates by detaching it’s sex organ and flinging it towards the female.
(Very interesting & more than a little scary.)
Now that Mr. Trump has been elected it’s been a real treat watching the Liberals and Mainstream Media losing their minds. The truth about media bias is no longer the big secret it once was except for those of us who have been paying attention for years. I thought after a few months of this nonsense it would gradually ease up but it hasn’t. They continue to chew on that dried up old bone until their brains explode. I’m a patient guy who will gladly wait around to watch their continuous escapades to strike out at Mr. Trump with little or no success.
This next item was sent to me by a friend. The first line is a the Medias lame attempt to belittle the President as being nothing more than a former reality television star. The fact that he is also a billionaire real estate developer is never mentioned.
Senator (To Be) Caitlyn Jenner
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Caitlyn Jenner has joined the list of celebrities who are considering running for political office in the United States following the election of former reality television star Donald Trump as president.
The remainder of the article concerned a short list of celebrities just dying to enter the political arena to teach the rest of us mouth-breathers just how things are supposed to be done. I say let them try. If we can have Obama for eight years and survive, we can live with Senator Caitlyn Bruce Jenner, Senator Kid Rock, or God forbid, President Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Just more humorous shit to enjoy as the country slowly slides towards some sort of Third-World status. Maybe we could start a new type of NATO organization to help keep us safe from our enemies. It could be called CRAP, the Cluster of Real Arab Pals. We could take a firm stand against Europe, China, and Russia with our new allies Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. We could sit around the meeting table and try desperately to convince each other what a bunch of bad asses we once were and how we will eventually rule the world. It’s much too depressing to contemplate.
I’m trying my hardest to not get into a rant about all of this but it isn’t easy. Let me calm down some and pass along a humorous joke sent my way recently from a friend in Kansas City. Here it is:
I was walking in the mall and I saw that there was a Muslim bookstore. The sign outside led me to wonder just what exactly was in a Muslim bookstore, so I went in.
As I was wandering around taking a look, the clerk gave me the stink eye, but asked if he could help me. I know I didn’t look like his normal clientele, so I asked, “Do you have a copy of Donald Trump’s book on his U.S. immigration policy regarding Muslims and illegal aliens?” The clerk said, “Kiss my ass, Get out, and Stay out!”
I said, “Yes, that’s the one. Do you have it in paperback?”
