Toughts on This and That by Charlie. Please share your thoughts.

This is my first BLOG and I'm writing it on the afternoon of 3/4. I point this out because I think it is dated 3/3, therefore I am already a day behind. That's okay because I'm a night person, and already it's tomorrow in Singapore and that makes me two days behind. There's an interesting column in today's Wall Street Journal about Night People. We are more creative, more flexible, and I want to add more sleepy. Morning people are healthier, more stable, and no fun at parties because it's always time to go home. The WSJ also points out that morning people rule the world. If I have to get up that early, then the world will simply have to rule itself. I've always wondered about night people. Most of the people I run into are morning people. But, I don't run into them until the middle of the afternoon. After all I do get up at the crack of NOON.

This is my second BLOG and after this one I stop counting. I spent ALL and I really mean ALL of last night trying to figure out who was winning the Democratic vote, so I can vote for them again in November or has John McCain finally won the Republican nomination so we can vote for him if we lean to the right side when we climb on an elephant. After listening to the pontificators all pontificating I finally arrived at the conclusion that all elections are now being held because of radio and television. Just think if election information was not allowed on radio or television what would all those talk show hosts have to talk about. And one other point in that direction. Have you noticed how many millions of dollars the politicians are pulling in from the internet. Now, guess where they spend all that money?

I have an important idea I want to put forth for when we vote in November. That election will be the most important one in the history of this country. You heard it here first, but just wait, someone will steal that statement. If this November election is so important, than why do we hold it on a Tuesday? A school day. Why not hold all National Elections on weekends, Saturday and Sunday? That would give everyone a fair chance to make it to the polls. And we could even have additional polling places at all the Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and 24-hour grocery stores.
