Friday Rant

Wow, what a response I got from last Friday’s Rant “Who took the Christ out of Christmas.” Here are just a few I received.

I say "Merry Christmas"! Shame on those who try to diminish the meaning of Christmas. It is a Christian holiday and should be respected as one.  Even if one is not a Christian one should respect the holiday out of respect for others who celebrate the occasion - Roberta B

If you can persuade all your readers to do likewise we may get somewhere.  Good on you -  Dick L

Well done!  The majority of the Western world may not be Christian but ask just them to give up the sales they reap from Christmas presents and they'll soon shut up! *** Merry Christmas *** Norman C

And I can’t overlook this one about the Courts overruling the will of the people.

I would like to say that I have been more than pleased with your rants and don't know how I could agree more.  Until we live in heaven, we will make mistakes.  That doesn't give any of us license to go outside the law and try to overrule the majority.
 
Our society is woefully uneducated and I wish there was a way to infuse knowledge and "common sense" into our human race at about the age of 12.  Our world would look much different then.  God knows a lot of the parents out there have no clue as to how to raise decent, respectful, productive adults.  And our schools aren't helping any, although to be fair, there are still some excellent teachers out there.
 
Thanks for letting me rant. Marilyn M

Which brings me to today’s Rant. I start with one word – Blagojevich - Did you know that five out of the last eight Governors of Illinois have been indicted or served a jail term? Now you think this is bad?  Consider this, at least 79 current or former Illinois, Chicago or Cook County elected officials had been found guilty of a crime by judges, juries, or their own plea bargains since 1972. Now you think this is bad - catch this - of the 35 most populous states in the nation, with a population of two million or more, Illinois only ranks number six as the most corrupt state.

Louisiana is (1), followed by Mississippi (2), Kentucky (3), Alabama (4) and Ohio (5) are reported as the top five most corrupt states in the country. Illinois is number (6) followed closely by Pennsylvania (7), Florida (8), New Jersey (9), and New York (10). Now am I defending Illinois because they are only number six? Not a chance.

Most states have a built in system to protect their elected officials by allowing them to appoint high paid jobs to their supporters.  Many of these are either “no show jobs” or “seldom show jobs.” Most of these high ranked elected officials get a lifetime pension with full health benefits, even if they serve for only a two year term. Many hold several jobs and when they leave get a pension  from each one. – and this is legal.

Now combine all this legal stuff with the actual corruption, and we continue to elect these guys. What is the real problem here – their greed, our own stupidity or the non-existent, but often spouted about, transparency in government. Corporations are bad because they work to earn money for their stockholders. Politicians are good because they work to take money from us, the taxpayers – who is kidding who?

Printer Resolution

If you know anything about printers at all, you probably know that, like monitors, they work with a certain resolution rate. Monitors have to be set at a certain resolution to bring out the best quality view for you while you use your computer. Well, printers have to do the same thing so that everything you print is eye catching and just the way you want it. You don't want your print jobs leaving something to desire, so you have to make sure you have the correct resolution set for your printer. Let's check it out!

The resolution for printers is measured in DPI (dots per inch). So, for example, your printer may be able to print at a 600 DPI level, which means it can print 600x600 per square inch of your paper (or 360,000 dots per inch). Printers that don't have a high resolution rate may give you what is called "jaggies," which simply means the images or text have little jagged edges. Believe me, you don't want jaggies!

Luckily, new inkjet and laser printers come with a technology that allows them to print little dots where the jagged edges lie, which fills them in so that they're not as noticeable. Hewlett Packard was the first printer company to come out with this, but other manufacturers are developing edge enhancements for their printers as well. Depending on what type of printer you have, you can find your resolution setting by poking around in your settings or preferences area under the menus in your printer software. If all else fails and you really want to know, try the Help menu as well.

A Little Humor for the Weekend

Marathon
=-=-=-=-=-=

Last year I entered the New York City Marathon. The race started and immediately I was the last of the runners. It was embarrassing.

The guy who was in front of me, second to last, was making fun of me. He said, "Hey buddy, how does it feel to be last?"

I replied: "You really want to know?" Then I dropped out of the race.

A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. He is so proud of himself that he starts calling his wife "Mother of Six" in spite of her objections. One night they go to a party. The man decides that it's time to go home, and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well. He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home, Mother of Six?"

His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion shouts back..."Anytime you're ready, Father of Four!"

With some misgivings, we left a young babysitter in charge of our three energetic youngsters.

When we returned a few hours later, she was sitting alone watching TV.

I went to check on the children and found them in our narrow hallway. By bracing their arms and legs against the walls, two of them had climbed up to the ceiling.

"The babysitter taught us how," they said gleefully.

The sitter joined me, her face a deep red. "Since they had me climbing the walls, I figured they might as well be too," she stammered.

We kept the same girl for the next two years.
