Thoughts Over Catnip

Hello My Dear Friends. I do love a good nip buzz on Friday! Did you know that the U.S. Veterans Administration handed out over $1.5 million in bonuses while paying out a record BILLION dollars in medical malpractice settlements? Our tax dollars in action! One of those bonuses, by the way went to Michael Moreland, who oversaw the VA hospital where at least 5 Veterans died from a preventable Legionnaires Disease outbreak. Moreland received the Presidential distinguished Rank Award and a $63,000 bonus AFTER the deaths were determined to have been preventable. I wonder how many Veterans you have to kill to get a $100,000 bonus! Why is abbreviation such a long word? Do you think that if they lined up all of the cars in the world end to end, some goober in a BMW would try to pass them? I do. The latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the population. If "pro" is the opposite of "con", would "progress" be the opposite of "congress"? When you're driving and looking for an address, do you ever turn down the radio? You know you do. Is there another word for synonym? Why is it that, if a sing says "George Washington slept here" you believe it but, if a sign says "wet paint" you have to touch it? Enjoy the weekend my friends!
