O'Donnell drivel is for fun, perhaps profit, but not for power

It was the fate of Daniel O'Connell to be the Great Liberator. We O'Donnells may differ by just one letter in name but we differ by a veritable ocean in power and influence.. It is the lot of the O'Donnell to be a drivelator, not a liberator.

I am content to put the power of drivel to (perhaps) good use in the production of a blog which has been read by literally dozens, and enjoyed by almost as many (I hope). It is my pleasure to use the power of drivel to entertain and sometimes uplift and/or educate.

Rosie O'Donnell

I have no problem with fellow O'Donnells who use the innate power of drivel to make money even if their own brand of drivel is most definitely not to my taste. Examples here include Rosie O'Donnell, who I consider as funny as a Police Academy film, and Daniel O' Donnell and his anodyne warblings. If they can make money from their meagre talents then so be it.


What frightens me is the O'Donnell that uses their drivel in the pursuit of power. I know that this drivel is a not uncommon trait among persons seeking power but for this O'Donnell the level of drivel goes far beyond the pale:

"They are -- they are doing that here in the United States. American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains. So they're already into this experiment."

I know that the quote dates back to 2007 but it should preclude Christine O'Donnell from even running for a bus, let alone the senate!

My thanks to Bryan for drawing this to my attention

Ah such trust!

The Fortean Times Breaking News section featured this article from Tech Eye: US military man Erick Jhonson came home from a stint in Iraq to find that his wife was pregnant. Clearly he assumed she had an affair, but his wife Jennifer claims the “other man” was actually someone a little less physical. she claimed that she became pregant after watching a 3D porno

“I see it as suspicious. The films in 3D are very real. With today’s technology, anything is possible,” he said

“Even though my husband believed in me, my marriage could be at risk,” Jennifer said. “But he knows I’m faithful.” Jennifer explained that “a month after watching the movie, I started feeling dizzy and the results were positive.”

I think Erick is utterly right to believe his wife. Personally I am glad to see a little trust in this cynical world....
