President pardons turkey and a couple of birds.

PicturePardon the turkey?
President #Obama, following White House tradition pardoned a turkey on
Wednesday. The turkey’s name was Kathleen #Sebelius, the Health Secretary.
He also pardoned a couple of birds.

Recently CNN reported that the #CIA recruited #spies from the terrorists held at the #Guantanamo Bay prison. That the CIA tries to recruit double agents comes as no surprise. Anyone who watches TV knows that. It is the fact that the CIA revealed
it now that has people puzzled. Why would the CIA publically acknowledge that?
&I don’t understand why people can’t figure this out. We know that some of these detainees will return to their terrorist organizations and resume their activities when released. It has happened. To counter this, the CIA states that it has recruited double agents. Now no terrorist organization will accept them back. Very simple.

I get these random thoughts and I don’t know where they come from - perhaps from the voices in my head. You need not worry about the voices in my head; I don’t pay any attention to them. However, the voices in your head are beginning to annoy me. 

Schofield Barracks on #Oahu instituted a fashion police "Courtesy Patrol" to crack down on civilian and off-duty soldier attire. We old timers know that courtesy patrols are not new. In the past, they focused more on picking up drunken soldiers and sailors to keep them out of the civilian jails. I suspect that this is still one of the missions of the courtesy patrol. The more things change the more they stay the same.

The perennial red buckets for charities are coming out. I suppose that in every city there is a
volunteer supervisor who has a list of the locations of all the buckets. You may have guessed it already: it is called the “Bucket List.” Oh, you saw that coming?

#BlackFriday has arrived on Thursday this year. I suppose that Friday the 13th will move  to Thursday too.

CNN reported today that a man on fire walked into a church seeking help. Police suspect that the man may not have  been on fire when he walked into the church but burst into flame after he was struck by lightning upon entering the church. That would confirm the suspicions of many people who have avoided church for that very reason. (Too soon?)
