William Lowell Putnam III is proposing just a mere little old asteroid be named after Trayvon?

Why heck, ever so often this guy comes on the radio with an offer that I can have a STAR named after me. This is usually around Christmas and is interspersed with radio ads for the CLAPPER (Clap on, clap off) and Chia pets.

All I gotta do is send this radio guy money and he will name a star after me and put it in a book to be filed with the Liberry of Congers. And that very book will be kept in a sealed vault on Funk and Wagnall’s porch for all time.

Not only that, but he’ll send me a heavenly map showing where my star is located. I’m not sure whether a deed for the star accompanies all this, but shirley (don’t call me Shirley!!) it would be included. Maybe even a star surface survey. Wow!

If I were Trayvon, wherever he might be, I’d be insulted. Why settle for an asteroid when he could have a STAR named after him?

We could have a contest of the best of what Trayvon Martin could be named ... start off by changing the name of Skittles to Tray-kittles.

The Lowell family are an odd assortment. The descent from their ancestor includes:

McGeorge Bundy (former National Security Advisor to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson)
Dick Cheney
Herman Melville
Tuesday Weld (actress)
Tennessee Williams (gay as a snake playwright)
T.S. Eliot (poet)
Elliot Richardson (US Attorney General, Nixon & Ford)

Just when I was trying to establish that maybe vain powers that be are imagination. No, they are all crazies.

When we need to practice shooting asteroids before they start hammering us, I have a suggestion for a target.

Let’s all “buy” a star and name them George Zimmerman.

Hey William, we have an old two holer at the farm that needs a name, but I’d rather call it a $@!+ hole than trayvon.
