What Were They Thinking…..
Is there something in the brain that switches off when people do things that are absolutely contrary to common sense?
It would seem so in seem so in the case of the stories below—where we have to ask the question: WHAT were they thinking?
IT’S NOT LIKE IT SNUCK UP ON ‘EM…
If you’re living on the Gulf coast—and there’s a monster hurricane bearing down on you—why do you choose to stay in your home despite news reports?
Despite the warning from the National Hurricane Center that says you will face certain death if you don’t evacuate?
Despite knowing what happened when a similar sized storm named Katrina all but destroyed New Orleans?
Now— you’re in a position where authorities have to waste money and resources—and put others at risk as they try and rescue you.
This ain’t the Three Little Pigs fairytale…
When IKE huffs and puffs at your house, he’s gonna blow it down!
What were they thinking?
R U red-e 2 give up the fone?
It’s looking more and more like that horrible train crash in California was the result of distracted driving by the engineer—an engineer who they believe was text messaging just before the fatal collision.
As you can read here—two teen-aged train enthusiasts say they were texting with MetroLink engineer Robert Sanchez before the accident happened.
And In fact, there is a report that just one minute before the crash occurred—an email purporting to be from “Rob Sanchez Metro” was sent to a cellphone with a message attached.
You’ve gotta figure most folks are not going to text a message while driving down a freeway at 70 miles an hour because you’d have to take your eyes off the road for way too long.
So why would the driver of a huge behemoth like a passenger train spend his time texting when he should be watching the right of way ahead?
WHAT was he thinking?
A DELEGATE SITUATION….
Conventioneers and ladies of questionable repute have been intertwined since conventions first began taking place.
So it’s probably no surprise that a delegate to the Republican National convention in Denver got involved with a lady who got him into trouble.
What may be surprising is that he ended up losing $50,000 dollars worth of valuables in the process and exposed himself in more ways than one to public ridicule…..
Local attorney Gabriel Nathan Schwartz says he invited a lady up to his room the night Sarah Palin made her speech.
He tells police the last thing he remembers the woman making him a drink — and telling him to get undressed.
When he awoke— the woman was gone along with:
* a $30,000 watch
* a $20,000 ring
* a $5,000 necklace
* a pair of $4,000 earrings
* a $1500 cell phone
* a $1000 Prada belt
Also lost on him apparently was the family values message Palin delivered hours before along with any self respect he had when a bizarre interview he gave to LINK TV prior to the robbery surfaced.
You can read more here about his big adventure..
In his case, I can guess WHAT he was thinking—and probably—so can you.
