We'd better ask these questions...

...before it is too late.

1. Isn’t the existence of Italian men enough evidence to refute all aspects of Darwin’s theories about evolution?

2. Could we have been too hasty in judging Bush Jr. so negatively? After all he was a big supporter of exporting American democracy to places that didn’t want it; didn’t like us and were our enemies – Iraq and Afghanistan and others. Now, as American democracy self destructs, are we are seeing Bush’s longer term strategy more clearly?

3. Back to Darwin for the next question. If the branch of the evolution tree that produced man began in Africa, could someone explain the last 5000 years or so of development on that continent?

4. Many years ago, a fellow deemed to be knowledgeable said that “television was a vast wasteland.” If so then, how would television be described today?

5. Clint Eastwood. Can Clint tell the difference between real life and Hollywood movie sets? That is the question on our mind ever since his gritty halftime ad during the super bowl. So we ask Clint this question. Did you write a happy ending so you know it’s going to happen?

6. Can someone answer this question please? How can one embrace all aspects of the theory of evolution and also support any form of contraception? Wouldn’t that person either be ignorant, blatantly hypocritical or just suicidal?

7. Does television programming of today bear any resemblance to an electronic land fill? Or an electronic garbage dump?

8. Let’s see now – O-BA-MA. Lots of vowels huh? Could Obama be Italian?

9. Back to the television questions. If television today is a garbage dump, then how would you describe Comcast and all the other people/companies/businesses which develop and deliver their product to our living rooms?

10. One more Clint question. Clint have you see the halftime score? Do you realize that in real life the other team intends to win also? Clint, are you on the playing field or did you move upstairs to one of the sky suite boxes where the windows are closed and Hollywood ending don’t always prevail?

11. Would it be accurate to describe those who produce and deliver television programs to our living rooms as “electronic garbage delivery services?”

12. On a different topic, why would any government provide free contraception to all its female citizens, regardless of age, while also admitting record levels of immigrants to legal residency and citizenship? What’s the message in that policy?

13. Last question. Who pays for free things? Do government and Clint see things differently perhaps? Is someone writing a script for government and Clint that is lacking in only one thing? Reality?
