Wii Wii

Oh what a great blog title, and an exact expression of my sentiments on the topic!

In an earlier blog I presented the difficulty of obtaining the much-desired video game system

Well I landed one. Through the son of my sister who "has connections" in the gaming world. This fine young man got a friend employed at WalMart in another state to grab a box. Then he put me at the top of a list of 6 immediate prospective buyers, and sold me the system at NO MARKUP. (Hey E-bayers - how about doing the Christian thing and selling YOUR extra games at NO MARKUP?????? If you had tickets insted of Wii's, you would be called "scalpers").

Now I am a hero to my 13 year old, and I am happy. To all you unwashed waiting out there to secure your Wii, I cannot resist:
"I got mine!!!"

I hate socialism, and I loathe everything that Karl Marx's thoughts foisted on the world. But if Cuba guaranteed each of its citizens a free Wii I might consider transplanting. In the case of this game, capitalism has failed...
