Happy Easter!

For two days my little site here as been off the Internets. Couldn’t figure out why. So, after having breakfast with about 500 of my closest friends this morning, I called the web hosting company to find out what’s up. Turns out the domain name had expired and needed an infusion of cash to continue on. Took care of that and voila! The Forkes Report is back in the Internet tubes!

Gosh, I’m going to miss Ted Stevens. As you may recall he was the Alaskan senator who was driven from office by an over zealous Justice Department — a Republican Administration Justice Department. It was the Obama Justice Department in 2009 that set the wrong right after Attorney General Eric Holder said there had been severe prosecutorial misconduct in the case. Guess it takes a Democrat to do the job right.

Anyway, it was Ted Stevens who called the Internet a series of tubes. To be fair, Stevens was using the phrase as an analogy, but it was a real stupid one.

But, we still have Tom Coburn and James Inhofe of Oklahoma in the Senate, not to mention Chuck Grassley of Iowa. Oh! And let’s not forget Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota! The laughs just keep coming!

Today is Easter Sunday when all Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. I would like to wish all my family and friends who celebrate this holiday a Happy Easter. The Spring Equinox came on March 20, also a day of celebration for many religions. Missed it.

Obviously the previous post was an April Fools prank. Sadly few people fell for it. I thought it was convincing enough, but apparently the photo of me wearing a Hooters t-shirt sort of gave it away. That and the people who know me best … sigh … just knew it was a joke. Why doesn’t anyone believe I could be a Catholic Priest? I should join a seminary just to prove them all wrong!

Or not.

Happy Easter Elaine. You will be at the table — in our hearts.

Wow! We just had a big earthquake! Shook everything pretty violently! According to the U.S. Geological Service, it was a magnitude 7.2 quake, about 16 miles S/SW of Guadalupe Victoria, Baja California, Mexico; about 110 miles from San Diego, CA. It happened at 3:43 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
