Weekly Thought Bonanza January 24th


On Sunday/Monday, I produce a column called “The Weekly Thought Bonanza”. The column is based on all of the random thoughts that run through my head all week, and trust me there are a plethora of them. I will try to share as many of these thoughts as I can, so each one of my readers can think just a little bit extra over the coming week.


It has been a week after the election of Senator-elect Scott Brown. Brown ran a perfect campaign to win the liberal state of Massachusetts. Senator-elect Brown looks like he will be a big difference maker in the senate.

Can America regain the economy it had in the early part of the last decade? Tax cuts are the only way to stimulate growth. We cannot mortgage our children and grandchildren’s future by continuing to mortgage their future.

Indianapolis and New Orleans in the Super bowl should be an interesting offensive showdown in Miami.

Haiti is getting pledged millions and millions of dollars and there seems to be no progress in getting the country’s leadership back up and operational. Here is hoping that the money will be well spent.

There is going to be some serious ramifications in the Middle East if the Iranians do not stop their nuclear weapons ambitions. It is only getting worse.

Brangelina is breaking up. Jennifer Anniston must have a huge smile on her face.

The chief of the U.N.'s climate science panel says he isn't going anywhere, despite calls for his head amid allegations that he is a sloppy scientist who presided over a report that contained intentionally misleading statements. Talk about job security. The U.N. is making labor unions look like small potatoes.

Arlington County authorities are investigating the death of a man last week after police used a stun gun to subdue him. Thirty-six-year-old William Bumbrey III died Jan. 18 after being arrested on suspicion of shoplifting near the Pentagon City Metro station.

Detective Crystal Nosal, a spokeswoman for the Arlington County police, says Bumbrey became combative and uncooperative and continued to fight with the officers after they used the stun gun. He died a short time later after being taken to a hospital. Bumbrey's family says he had serious medical problems and was addicted to PCP. The family has hired a lawyer who specializes in stun gun cases and wants police to release a video of the incident. Why would the police use a stun gun?

Bolstered by a White House lobbying effort that included the president, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's chances at a second four-year term improved Monday, calming a stock market that had grown anxious over the uncertainty of his support. President Barack Obama championed Bernanke in an interview on Monday as his aides worked the phones to ensure the Fed chairman is confirmed by the Senate. To me he has been a major disappointment. How did he not know about the subprime market collapse?

The Weekly Thought Bonanza thought of the week; Comedian Andy Dick has been arrested for two counts of felony sexual abuse, while still on probation from his infamous 2008 arrest for pulling down a teen girl's top. The attack allegedly happened early Saturday morning in West Virginia, after Dick appeared at the Funny Bone Comedy Club and Restaurant in Huntington. Dick is currently in the Western Regional Jail, police confirm.

"Based upon statements of two victims and independent witness accounts alleging that he had engaged in unwanted and uninvited groping of the two victims' genital areas, Andrew R. Dick (AKA Andy Dick) of South Pasadena, Calif., was arrested and charged with two counts of Sex Abuse in the First Degree," read a statement from the Huntington Police Department. What is this moron thinking?
