"Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law." - Common Wisdom

Q. What makes men chase women they have no intention of marrying?
A. The same urge that makes dogs chase cars they have no intention of driving.

WASHINGTON ARMS WITCH-HUNTERS
"When Congress passed the Patriot Act in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, law-enforcement agencies hailed it as a powerful tool to help track down the confederates of Osama bin Laden. No one expected it would end up helping to snag the likes of Eliot Spitzer. The odd connection between the antiterror law and Spitzer's trysts with call girls illustrates how laws enacted for one purpose often end up being used very differently once they're on the books."

DEMOCRATS DEFINE PROTECTED SPECIES FOR ZEALOUS WITCH-HUNTERS
" After the 1968 Democratic Convention… the Democratic Party established a commission to reform the nominating process.
Its recommendations, adopted by the party, sharply curtailed the power of elected officials and party insiders to choose delegates, increased the importance of caucuses and primary elections, and mandated quotas for blacks, women, and youth... Hart exploited that understanding to the hilt."

PROTECTED SPECIES: FEMALE FISHERMAN NOT FISHING
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, drops anchor, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'

'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')

'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.

'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'

'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'

'For reading a book?,' she replies,

'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her again.

'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'

'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'

'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.

'But I haven't even touched you.' says the game warden.

'That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.'

'Have a nice day ma'am,' he said and he left.

WITCH-HUNTERS BAG GOVERNOR
"New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's prostitute problem is just the latest reminder: there's a troubling question about politicians that never quite seems to go away. When it comes to mental health, emotional stability and social adjustment, are they, well, a little crazier than the rest of us, a little saner—or not much different from the average person at all?"

WITCH-HUNTERS BAG SENATOR
When rumors began circulating about his supposed extramarital affairs, Sen. Gary Hart, the leading candidate for the 1988 Democratic nomination for President, challenged the media. He told The New York Times... that they should “follow me around. . . . They’ll be very bored.” As the NBC anchor John Chancellor explained a few days later, “We did. We weren’t.”

Scientists now have the ability to tell us what weather conditions were hundreds, thousands, even millions of years ago. Can the same be said of monogamy? How about witch-hunting conditions?- 2q(Jim)
