In a more pious age, Samuel F.B. Morae invented telegraphy; his first message was
"What hath God Wrought?" More than a century has passed and your writer and his erstwhile colleagues hath wrought vacuum tube signal boosters, teletypes, fake baseball broadcasts by the likes of Ronald Reagan, television, radar, the transistor and many other things including recently, Facebook. In connection with that last item, it is a little staggering how many people want to be a "friend" of an old geezer.
All of this leads inexorably to a very pertinent question, to wit; In God's Green Earth, How does Sarah Palin get on my Facebook page? The other night I checked to see my lastest Facebook requests, and there she was, the former governor of our largest and coldest state, over which Russian ICBM's would probably fly, on their way to kill us all.
It would be nice to hope for some rational thought from such a celebrity but it is not to be. The woman may look a lot like Tina Fey but has much less talented writers. It is not that I have any hopes if being hired for the gig. Just keep reading the blog; some good vibes will surely come to me.
