G'day to you! I trust you are in fine fettle and raring to go. Well, while you are going...wander over by the coffeepot and pour us both a large mugful of coffee, if you would...oh, and grab a couple virtual muffins, why don't'cha, eh? I'll have a lo-fat double chocolate strawberry Bavarian cream with mocha icing. Now on to the order of the day...the New World Order, that is...in this ever-evolving world of ours. Thought I'd bring you three quick snippets...
1.Last year in Middle East
school markets, the worldwide publishing giant Harper Collins was selling
a popular atlas whose maps pretended there was no such country as
Israel. The space that is Israel was merged into Jordan, Syria and Gaza.
The company said it was merely honoring "local preferences" of
potential atlas purchasers, whom Harper Collins presumed were Arabs
wishing that Israel did not exist. (In January 2015, the company finally
changed course, publicly "regretted" its decision and recalled all
existing stock.) [Washington Post, 1-2-2015]
2. Montanan John Abarr told the Great Falls Tribune in November that
his Rocky Mountain Knights of the Ku Klux Klan opposes the "new world
order" pushing a "one government" system on the planet -- but also
stands against discrimination based on race, religion or sexual
orientation. "White supremacy is the old Klan," he said. "This is the
new Klan" (except that, he said, robes and hoods will still be required,
along with "secret rituals"). [Great Falls Tribune, 11-3-2014]
3. In January, Mittens the kitten and Charcoal the
Chihuahua mix made news as hermaphrodites whose veterinarians had
recommended which gender the since-adopted strays should retain.
Mittens, of the town of Heart's Desire, Newfoundland, was scheduled for
"gender assignment" surgery to become solely male, and Charcoal, of
Boise, Idaho, is recovering from mid-January surgery to leave her
exclusively female. News reports did not disclose why "male" was chosen
for Mittens, but the doctor said correcting Charcoal's pre-surgery
problem, urination, would be less stressful as a female. [CBC News,

We get so enured to strange happenings that not much is surprising anymore, eh. But they do keep coming up with them, don't they?
See ya, eh!
