The Case of the Fishy Emails

So, for the opening salvo on this blog I was going to wax poetically on something totally different. The title was going to be “The Smartest Political Party in the Whole Wide World!” But, thank you White House, that has changed -

History has made much of the famous “Enemies List” of the Nixon White House. There was something about that list, though, that the Left of this nation apparently does not understand, and it happens to be that the people on that list wielded some sort of power. It did not consist of people like you or me. I would be the first to admit that most of us are not like most politicians. That is, most of us, as opposed to most of them, teeter on the edge of actually being honest. As a rule, we solve the world’s problems over a cup of coffee (well, sometimes a beer, but bigger problems are solved when alcohol is involved) and move on to that obscure little nook we came from. Unfortunately, to the crew now running the show, you know, the ultra smart people, any outings from those little nooks is a warning that the nation is in peril.

Yes, it is now your patriotic duty to report anything you might consider to be “fishy” to the White House. Nobody is going to lose a job at NASA because I happen to be walking the face of the earth, but even I can hear the warning bells going off. No, I am not a big conspiracy freak. Not at all! Still, I do get a tad worried when somebody with way too much time on their hands is telling people to forward “fishy” emails to the powers that be. I wonder, for instance, why? Why do you need the email? Do you want to backtrack to the originator? If you do that, what are you going to do when you find out who the originator is? IRS audits? Knock on the door from the Secret Service? Just why do you need the original email at the White House?

Laugh at people for worrying about such things. Have a real good laugh. When you are finished laughing, give some thought to emails you have forwarded along the way. Was this the “Change You Can Believe In?”
