Greetings from the Editor:

We present a full menu in this issue with abundant humor, advice and biting analysis and commentary on: Congress - the institution we refer to as the "Inane Asylum^TM;" mainstream media coverage of the "Hidden Stories;" and the president's war of words that do more harm than good to combat terrorism.

We continue our Slam Dunk Cleanup Government Campaign with a hopefully clearer candidate pledge. We offer a new feature, The Back Page. It's humor this week, but we may end next week with a tribute, obituary or reflection.

Finally, we begin the serialization of the book "A Bedtime Story for People of All Ages."

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

Politics and Government

Page 2 We continue our "Inane Asylum^TM" coverage of Congress with commentary on citizens taking the immigration problem into their own hands - as a result of the lack of government policies and guidance; the record opium crop in Afghanistan and the lack of Congressional concern; and Majority Senate Leader Bill Frist and his failures to come clean on his medical license renewal form.

Page 3 We being our periodic publication of the book, "A Bedtime Story for People of All Ages: The Tale of the Texas Bull Called Iraq and the Cow called Econ." This first chapter was originally published February 18, 2003, weeks prior to our commencement of the war in Iraq.

Pure Humor

Page 4 Our offering this week comes from Jim Penn. His "Let's Talk Real Pyramid Schemes, Brother," pokes clean fun at lawyers while pointing out a seemingly viable business opportunity the unwary may actually find inviting.

Business

Page 5 "The Art of Management and My Old Man," gives readers down-to-earth , practical business advice. Compelling and true, anyone in business can learn from Bernie's experiences in his dad's store.

Editorial

Page 6 On this September 11th, we look at "President Bush and His War in Iraq: 'Part of the Decisive Ideological Struggle of the 21st Century'." Hard hitting and chock full of examples, it's apparent, at least to us, that President Bush's words and actions are not getting the job done and actually making war on terrorism more difficult.

Advice

Page 7 Charles Tsence in his "Pet Advice" column concentrates on those stiff, cone collars pets are given after surgery and gives insight into the importance of the "alpha animal" concept in pet training and discipline.

Page 8 We welcome Hortense McGoldstein's contribution to the "Mediocre Housekeeper^TM" corner. She ably advises on how to seek and find the "perfect mate."

Thought-Provoking

Page 9 Missed in Mainstream Media (MSM): the "Hidden Stories" concentrates on catching Osama bin Laden, the incineration of our stockpiled chemical weapons, air traffic controllers and then lack of sufficient sleep and the sage (or not-so sage) pronouncements of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Bernanke.

The Back Page

Page 10 A new feature, Jim Penn ends this issue with some of his humor in "There's No Crying Over Spilt Coffee: It Can be a Blessing - Laugh and Learn." Working at home can be a challenging and learning experience at the same time.
