I last saw him by the bulldozer Playing and running around

• Oh where, oh where Has my little dog gone?
• Oh where, oh where can he be?
• With his ears cut short
• And his tail cut long
• Oh where, oh where can he be?
• I last saw him by the bulldozer
• Playing and running around

Just the snippets, please

I'm listening to a 50 minutes download of today's New York Times. I don't know if you could say that I'm listening to a Snippet Of All The News That's Fit To Print. The paper's motto, printed in the upper left-hand corner of the front page, is "All the News That's Fit to Print."

A snippet is defined as a small piece of something. I remember that when I studied computer programming a short reusable piece of computer source code was called a "snippet". I doubt that the powers that be at the "Times" consider the 50 minutes of "Audible Readings" I get every day as snippets if snippets are "bits", or if the download is a "small scrap", even if that scrap is a nutritious "morsel" of all the news that's fit to print.

Bulging bellies are a problem

Bulging bellies are a problem for most Americans older than 50. It's estimated that more than half of older men and more than 70 percent of older women have bigger waistlines than recommended. And it's a growing problem: Average waistlines have expanded by about an inch per decade since the 1960s.

I quit

I broke with the church violently and totally... I wrote many novels that without my being aware of it reflected my quest for meaning in a world without God.

So said Anne Rice, a best-selling American author of gothic, erotic, and religious-themed books. Her first book was Interview with the Vampire, published in 1976. In 1998 she went into a sudden diabetic coma; that same year she returned to the Roman Catholic Church, which she'd left at 18.

On July 29, 2010, she announced: "I quit being a Christian. I'm out. It's simply impossible for me to belong to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group."

If only every child on our planet could get a primary education

The war in Afghanistan will consume more money this year alone than we spent on the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War and the Spanish-American War — combined.

In the presidential campaign, Mr. Obama promised to invest in a global education fund. Since then, he seems to have forgotten the idea — even though he is spending enough every five weeks in Afghanistan to ensure that practically every child on our planet gets a primary education.

Excuse me, Mr. President

I love to vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine. I can understand why our President and his family are there this weekend.

I count my blessings that they were not there during the 4'th of July weekend, when myself and my brothers rode the carriage trails, watched the parade, and stood in line for some of the "best" ice cream in New England.. Crowds are one thing, and to be expected at popular venues. Crowds created because security staff have "cleared" a venue as "safe" for the First Family are another issue entirely. I'll be curious to see "reactions" in the Sunday newspaper.

I can remember when it was OK to wear a clean white shirt

Well, they may have been white, but I am sure that the shirts were never "pristine". I was a boy and the period was from middle school through junior high school. My Mom did her best, but new shirts for every school year were not in the budget.

I am sure that we have all seen the commercials that alert us to the fact that those "clean dishes" are crawling with germs unless we use the advertised detergent. I love the commercial for the high tech vacuum cleaner that implies that if you spend enough money, you too can have not only a "a spotlessly clean house", but a healthy house.

I have been checking every so often on the latest efforts by BP to cap the oil leak. I am sure that clean white shirts are probably no longer cool as junior high fashion. However, just like when I was a kid, for many young children it has been a ritual (or at least a dream) to visit the theme parks and beaches of the south coast at least once in their youth. I never made it to Florida and Disneyland as a child, but I am sure, back then, if not "pristine" the shoreline may have been fresh and clean. For the next generation of kids, the dream will be that that the beaches be no longer spoiled, corrupted or polluted.

A man should go on living

Have we lost our sense of curiosity? A man should go on living -- if only to satisfy his curiosity.

Homage due to every lord

The term allegiance was traditionally applied to the deference which even a foreigner must pay to the institutions of the country in which he happens to live. The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an oath of loyalty to the national flag and the republic of the United States of America.

Homage is the public expression of respect to someone or something to whom or to which one feels indebted, as through an honor, tribute, reference, or citation.

If people starve for want of bread

They told Marie Antoinette:

The beggers at your gate

Have eyes too sad for tears to wet,

And for your pity wait.

But Marie only laughed and said:

"My heart they will not ache:

If people starve for want of bread

Let them eat cake.".

There will be another attempt to bring supplies to Gaza. Among the ship MV Rachel Corrie's crewmembers include former UN Assistant Secretary-General Denis Halliday and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire, an Irish peace activist.

I honestly don't know how many nutjobs will also be on the ship. I'm sure many groups have their own agenda. However, history is full of examples of the futility of denying a population food, lodging or creature comforts.

One of the first books I read as a child was about the Boston Tea Party. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it.

The Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act, which had been passed by the British Parliament in 1773. Colonists objected to the Tea Act for a variety of reasons, especially because they believed that it violated their right to be taxed only by their own elected representatives.

If a government wants the population to: "beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks" they must first treat them with basic dignity. My country fought for their freedom over a tax on tea.
