"Right" on red?

Turn "right" on red. Hmm, let's read it again. Turn "right" on red.

I read this traffic sign differently than most. To me it doesn't have a directional meaning. It reads, Turn "privilege" on red. Turn "luxury" on red. Turn "possibility" on red.
No one has the "right" to turn on red. It's not a right. It's not in the constitution, it's not listed in the Bill of Rights and the Bush regime hasn't stomped on it or used it as toilet paper. So you see, it can't possibly be a right.
It's simply a privilege, a luxury, a possibility to be able to turn on red AND it's only these things when there isn't an oncoming vehicle. GUESS WHAT, if you can see a car coming THAT is considered "oncoming"!
Use basic common sense. Car stopped at light must accelerate form 0 to speed limit by the time the oncoming vehicle is at it's bumper. Now, I'm not a math, physics, time-space continuum or even basic algebra genius, but I know enough to figure that equation. That is rarely, if ever, possible without a Formula 1 race car. Even 35 mph is fast compared to the dead stop at which you are starting from.

Age limit...

It's baffling to me that there isn't an age limit for the Presidency. 
Let's be honest, and maybe even mean. In the real world (the world of paycheck to paycheck, blue collar, working grunts) if John McCain, at his age, were to start applying for new jobs the most he'd be able to get is Wal-Mart greeter. Okay, maybe there would be other options. My point is that he would get turned down for the big jobs. Isn't President of the United States a big job?

Has anyone taken a good look at before and after presidency photos of Bill Clinton and Bush? Did you notice how much older they look by the end of their terms? C'mon people, McCain doesn't have the room to spare! He's already old! The stress of the job only made the last two look old but at least they had younger vital organs.

A secret passion I didn't know I had....

Like there isn't enough real causes in the world to get your panties in a wad over I have made one up. 
Ever since the commercials pushing the dollar coin over the paper bills began airing I have had one constant thought. Not the curiosity of how much more "green" this switch would be or why do we keep spending money to make money, literally. Nope. The burning question in my mind has been.........drum roll please...........what will the strippers do if we switch to coins? Seriously, this concern for the stripper community popped into my head the first time I saw the commercial and stuck.

Are the patrons going to have to attach double sided tape to the coin,throw it at the stripper and try to get it to stick to their bodies? Will they have a collection plate like a church and pass it around during their set? Will there be a market for cute little g-strings with pockets? I'm learning how to sew so the g-string idea could be my ticket to financial freedom! Viva la pocket G!

You were warned that my genius is random. This may not be one of those random moments.
