OK So I am Blogging now right? Hello?!

I feel embarassed for people who do not realize there is a 7 secord delay on most call in shows. They have waited a long time to get on the air. They have a very hot opinion they want to express. Someone tells them they are on the air. It is the host but he/she dosen't really sound like the host through the phone...and anyway the caller can still hear the host talking on the radio. In that instant the caller often falls victim to confusion and then does not recover. The host prods for the hot opinion as the caller just begins to realize that it is gone. Things go down hill from there.

I wanted my frist official blog post to be different from a muffed radio call in but mainly I wanted it to be different from routine first posts of new bloggers and I think I have accomplished that objective. I certainly have not delivered a hot a opinion as yet. I have several. But now just does not seem like the time. Then again I need to give you a reason to read these posts don't I.

Well here is one. Karl Rove told a group of Republicans a while back that if Al Qaeda is calling someone in America, the White House/NSA wants to know about it. Now it occurs to me that of 275 million Americans most of us (oh around 99.9%) do not know a bin Laden. But George W. Bush surely knows the bin Laden lad who invested a substantial sum of money in his oil company. And then his dad former President George H W Bush sat on the Carlyle Group board with another bin Laden. I'm not saying they held hands or anything but that Mr. Bush probably knew that Mr. bin Laden. So a big confusion could arise here. Al Qaeda may start calling and end up somehow talking to George W or George H W and then what would Karl Rove and NSA do....?
