Visit to Ireland: In another speech, amid several Irish proverbs and sayings, Biden referenced the prime minister’s mother, saying: “God rest her soul.” Then the VP had a realization: “Wait, your mom’s still alive! It was your dad who passed. God bless her soul!” Biden corrected his mistake, the audience roared, yet it was unclear whether the PM found Biden’s blunder amusing.

I actually don't know how we managed to already be working on the sixth month of 2014, but we are, therefore, I send out a hearty hello to one and all on this Monday, June 2, 2014. A real estate search firm called Estately recently did some work on discovering the most Googled searched words from each of the 50 states. They surmised this would help understand what people are most interested in. Some of the results might seem plausible while others could give some reason to be concerned. The one on the top of the list in alphabetical order, Alabama, tells somewhat of a story. Most searched words: Fox News/ God / Impeach Obama. There might just be a thread going on over in that part of the world. I'll just share some highlights with you from a few that I found interesting. In Alaska, the number one search term was Adult Friend Finder. It's a very lonely place I suppose. Californians sought out Alcoholics Anonymous as the number one but Dandruff Control came in third. Michigan wanted to know about Knock Knock Jokes. Louisiana was focused on Alligator Hunting and perhaps surprising, the Golden Girls Television program. New Mexico went after Frito Pie while Pennsylvania wanted to know more about Back Shaving. Tennessee can't get enough Elvis and Wisconsin still needs to know more about Beanie Babies. Then we have the great state of Texas where the residents were focused on these items: Are dinosaurs real? / Are zombies real? / The Bill of Rights / Boogers / Calf Implants / Can dogs talk? / Chupacrabra / Curves International (company) / Does beer make you fat? / Government Mind Control / How to cook meth? / How to sell your soul to the Devil? / Justin Bieber (singer) / Krunk / Meth Recipes /  Purple Drank / Rodeo / Snake Bites / Tacos. I'll let you try to make any sense out of those. Meanwhile, you can find the complete list at the following: blog.estately.com/

The study was not intended to be taken seriously and you may want to take that into consideration before you pack up and move. You could always move to Delaware where the number one thing people searched for was Delaware. I don't blame them because I don't know that much about Delaware either. That's the home state of current Vice President Joe Biden. He, of course, is known for his misstatements, like this jewel: "In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." I suppose that's how they do diversity in Delaware. He's not lampooned as much as President George W., was for his sayings but he has consistently done his part in terms of heaping blame upon Bush for just about any and everything. In fact, if you Google 'Blame Bush' it immediately shows 4,770,000 results. And, it only took 2 tenths of a second to find them. I saw House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi the other day putting the blame for the Veterans scandal squarely on President George W. That's her take, despite a doubling of the VA budget, it being a top priority of the current administration, and 5 years to fix the problems.

Maybe Biden should think about relocating to Kansas where the number one searched term was Hoof and Mouth Disease. I suppose things can be a little confusing from time to time. A social studies class was covering the qualifications for becoming President of the United States. The discussion settled on the requirement that a candidate must be a 'natural born citizen'. One little girl listened intently, her face getting redder and redder. Finally she stood up and blurted out, "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by c-section?" She may have been the same young lady who later was taking driving lessons. As she was pulling out of the parking lot, the instructor said, "Turn left here, and don't forget to let the people behind you know what you're doing." The young lady politely turned to the students sitting in the backseat and announced, "I'm just letting you know that I'm going to be turning left." Later she might well have been involved in this little incident. The police officer got out of his car as the teenager stopped for speeding rolled down her window. 'I've been waiting for you all day,' the officer said. The young lady replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." Taken aback by that response, he smiled, gave her a warning and sent her on her way without a ticket. That will conclude today's road to nowhere posting. There's always tomorrow. Take care and may God bless each one. Amen.     ....More later.
