Imus Program Replays …

LPR heard the Friedman chat with Imus, December 6, after Imus informed listeners that it was "29 minutes before the hour." The clock on my car radio at that time, read 9:41 a.m. (allowing that the clock is one minute fast). This airing of Friedman was, of course, a rerun -- of the original conversation that was broadcast a bit more than an hour earlier. LPR is not aware that Imus tells listeners that he makes same day -- indeed same program replays of interviews. (LPR agrees that
the replay same program delays are preferable to instant same programs replays).

Tony [will not be] Snow[ed] …

The White House press secretary will not be snowed

by any anti-Administration media foe

And thus NBC's David Gregory could not have crowed

that his December 6 query brought Tony Snow low

LPR Wonders …

If Rhode Island's outgoing Senator Lincoln Chafee plans to change his given name to, say, Roosevelt, on grounds that his current first name sounds too Republican.

LPR is a lot more afraid …

… of an overbearing City Hall in New York, than of imagined violations of civil liberties by the Bush Administration. The $90 ticket, the other day for another seat-belt violation ( while moving at about 8
miles an hour) after a couple of new parking tickets, a few weeks before, under odd circumstances makes LPR's fear of City Hall quite reality-based.

LPR did not have to hear of rumors City Hall will impose a driving-in-mid-Manhattan fee to be aware that New York
officials are apparently waging a war on motorists, intend on draining drivers financially first, and sending them away, after.

(For LPR, perhaps the only U.S. group more passive than Republicans, in response to political abuse, is made up of urban motorists.)

LPR Predicts …

House Democrats will urge impeachment of President Bush if he does not accept in toto the report of the Iraq Study Group (here at LPR known as the Israel
Surrender Group) whatever it says. Jeff Greenfied suggested to Imus, December 8, that the reports' recommendations are all over the map, advising an "on the one hand, or on the other hand" approach" --that, of course, would have the president damned for whatever he does -- just the way Democrats, LPR says, would like it.

We MUST do this …

Drivers need an organization that will defend them against the oil companies and politicians who maul motorists for obscene profits and revenues.

LPR proposes the acronym MUST -- Motorists United and Standing Tall -- for this organization. With tens of millions of
members, MUST will lead the way in revitalizing the Spirit of America.

The INDA Senator …

LPR has yet to hear from Senator Joseph I. Lieberman on the failure of the nomination of John Bolton as our
permanent representative at the United Nations.

LPR is saddened that Senator Lieberman did not comment on Mr.Bolton's performance as the UN before the Democrat Masquerading as Republican Senator Chafee reiterated his opposition to Ambassador Bolton.

As a true independent in the United States Senate, Joe could have made a contribution. Clearly, now, Joe doesn't even make a difference. For LPR, Mr. Lieberman is the INDA senator: independent nominally, Democrat actually.

The Everything Violations Bureau?

LPR predicts that Michael Bloomberg, if elected president, will get Congress to find that failure to get a good night's sleep, daily, is harmful to one's health and to the Gross National Product, and to enact legislation mandating hours of sleep for all persons (including illegal immigrants) on US soil.

A federal Sleeping Violations Bureau
(SVB) will be established to enforce compliance. How will sleeping be monitored? By tv monitors, of course, in every home or hotel bedroom in the country. The Monitoring Sleep Regularity
Program -- MSRP -- will require that everyone sleeps in a bedroom or hotel room.

Falling asleep in a living room, den, kitchen, bathroom attic, garage, car, hotel room, assisted living day room, classroom, workplace, doorway, airplane, train, or, among other places, on a sidewalk will not be credited on the individual's MSRP account.)

Under the MSRP, homelessness will become a federal offense, with the requirement that MSRP-approved sleep must take place in a bedroom.

Persons who receive SVB summonses will be subject to towing to sleep-training centers, as well as fines.

Four Smoking Questions …

Anybody notice that the anti-smoking campaign does not differentiate among individuals -- merely warns that smoking cigarettes is dangerous to us -- without regard to sex, family medical history, and smoking practice, among other individual distinctions?

Is an individual who smokes a pack a week as susceptible to catastrophic illness as a two-pack a day smoker?

Do the anti-smoking specialists conclude
that smoking is a habit with every puffer a
smokaholic?

Are some of the people who warn that smoking will leave us gasping for breath, members of GASP? (Getting America Socialist Pronto)

LPR Warning: LPR agrees that smoking can harm the health of individuals.
