The Loading Dock: Distribution Center For The Tubes, Getting The Information Out

Remember when you were in school and the instructor passed out an exam. Usually there were several different types of questions on the exam.

Some of the questions might have been fill in the blank or multiple choice. One word answers usually sufficed for these questions. These answers could be learned by rote memorization.

Next in the degree of difficulty were short answer questions. These required the exam taker to build a short, cohesive sentence that answered the question concisely. These short answer questions also gave a quick glimpse into the test takers knowledge of the subject matter.

A classic example of how NOT to answer a short answer question:
Q: Why are people spending more time on leisure activities?
A: Because they have more leisure time.

The final questions on the exam were the essay questions. Essay questions are based on themes and overall ideas. Preparation for answering an essay question does not begin when you receive the question. You are not only conveying information, but also showing your audience that you have mastered the information and can work with it. In other words, your purpose is both informative and persuasive. The answers you provide are a dang good indicator of whether or not you understand the big picture.

It seemed that one of the essay questions on an exam asked you to compare and contrast two events that had occurred or two different people.

LifeOfJason.com submitted questions to candidates in several of the Greene County Races that will be decided this November.

I invite you to compare and contrast the responses given by the two Circuit Clerk candidates in reply to the LifeOfJason questions.

Frequent bus riders, like these folks pictured below, will know that I am one of those candidates.

Sarah Palin On Saturday Night Live?

Sarah Palin wants to appear on "Saturday Night Live"?

Sarah Palin wants to appear on "Saturday Night Live" on October 25th?

Five weeks ago most of us had never heard of this one.

Now she wants to do "Saturday Night Live"?

This is a vice presidential candidate who has yet to hold a press conference after being selected as John McCain's running mate.

Now she wants to do "Saturday Night Live"?

She is willing to do "Saturday Night Live" and is not willing to hold a press conference?

She wants to do "Saturday Night Live" just before America votes.

Oh my.

Wait, wait a minute.

"Saturday Night Live" is a live show, right?

Have Sarah Palin come on the show.

Also have all of the columnists and correspondents who would attend a vice-presidential news conference on the show also.

Then, have a press conference, have a real press conference.

I shudder to think that Sarah Palin's handlers think Americans are so dumb that we would elect a vice-presidential candidate whose only contact with the American people is so filtered and scripted that any attempt to question her on the substantive issues facing our country is labeled as "gotcha" journalism.

I am not the only one who thinks this way.

He Knew It Was Coming. He Called It; He Called It Here; He Called It Here At Glendale High School, He Called It Here At Glendale

Lucky Jimmy Knows Why The Economy's Tankin'...Money's Tight

A while back this blog did a post on one of the relief bus drivers, Lucky Jimmy, and his girlfriend.

But things ain't been so bright in Lucky Jimmy's trailer lately....see, it's this dang economy. Lucky Jimmy sorta wishes the gubmint woulda been able to workout a better work out. Dang, do you know how long it has been since Lucky Jimmy filled up his tank at the Kum 'n Go?Lucky Jimmy waves goodbye to his money and thinks it should be called the Kum 'n Went! Lucky Jimmy's had his fill of Mavericks and even Comets.

But Lucky Jimmy is not really the subject of this post. I noticed that people from all over have been doing a google search and ending up on the Lucky Jimmy posts. Is it to see a pix of Lucky Jimmy or of his girlfriend? Of course to see her picture on google, you got to look here.

Lucky Jimmy wonders if this guy has been talking to these guys.

Oh yeah, why the economy's tankin'----here's how Lucky Jimmy's friend Andrew's friend Marc (OMG-a FOAF!) 'Plains it (in his best Jimmy Carter imitation):

Basically: The credit markets remain locked. No one is lending. People with credit scores approaching perfect can't get loan. Business wanted to see some rate cuts, but the Fed didn't cut, and Europe's central bank seems to be off on their own reservations. No money has come out of TARP -- that's the bailout -- yet. The Hill is hosting a partisan hearing on financial services. The presidential candidates are talking about past negative associations, not market stabilization.
