Caleb and I got a cool peek at my blog in 3D that we want to share with you.
Now you know what my computer thinks of me.

20,000 Hits Below the Belt
We launched “www.jerrybegly.com” on April 1, 2009. That was no mistake. Yesterday we totaled over 20,000 hits. Wow.
It humbles me to know that more than 10 people enjoy reading my blog. Hopefully, it’s because you can relate a little bit to what’s going on in my posts. Or maybe you are transported to a time or place that you’ve not experienced, and that intrigues you. That’s what writing is supposed to be about.
This site is all about “hitting below the belt.” Here, we get to make up the journalistic rules. I get to call ’em like I see ’em, and I won’t have an editor throw me out of his office like happened at the Aspen Daily News one time. (cartoons that poke fun at gays aren’t tolerated in Aspen).
In sappy dweeb language, I would have to say that Caleb, my Webmaster, and you the reader/subscriber are the last two legs of my three-legged stool of blogdom. Thank you. If you really like a post, send it to a friend and share the irreverence. One of my favorites is “Bugs Bunny and the Mexicans.”
Now let’s get on with the show…
Barack Obama Wants You to Buy Toenail Clippers
Anyone who has been on the Internet lately (I assume you’re not reading this on a bulletin board at work) has noticed the “stimulus” ads. I’m talking about the ones using Barack Obama’s name.
“Barack Obama wants you to lose weight!”
“Barack Obama wants you to buy a new car!”
“Barack Obama wants you to buy organic toenail clippers!”
Who are these people, and why don’t they fire their ad agencies? Do they really think that Americans want the President telling them what to do on EVERYTHING?
“Barack Obama wants you to invest in yo-yos!”
“Barack Obama wants you to sell your children to slave traders and go back to school!”
“Earn your B.A. (Barack of America) degree while sitting at home collecting unemployment!”
To have so many ads on the Internet using Barack Obama’s stimulus plan as the impetus, shows what a nation of charlatans and con men we’ve become. Either that, or we are all now taking marching orders from our new Commander in Chief. Or maybe we all are greedy and just want “the other guy” to pay for our life’s choices.
“Barack Obama wants you to plant wildflowers!”
“Barack Obama wants you to give blood to the needy government!”
“Barack Obama wants you to lick his boots! Only $29.95. Don’t delay!”
The chickens will come home to roost when Americans start calling the White House switchboard and begin asking questions like, “Mr. President, where should I send my kid to college?… Or camp?”
“Mr. Obama, which peanut butter should I buy?”
“Mr. President of the Century, where did I put my car keys?”
“Hey Barry, can I borrow the car tonight?
“What’s up with last week’s NASCAR satellite feed?
“Why are there so many questions about cars on Jerry Begly’s blog site?”
I don’t know. Maybe it’s OK for Barack Obama to be invoked about everything. After all, he asked for it.
“Hello Whitehouse? My organic toenail clippers broke. Where do I send them for repair?"
