Make like a tank and leaf?

I have different levels of happiness: There is puppy-dog happy, big-deep breath with a huge smile happy, and geeky happy. They don’t have any particular order, but puppy-dog happy is my tilt…I lose control of my right mind and smile like a dork. Big breath happy is just pleased satisfaction. However, [...]

Sad Day

While I will probably post my usual inane stuff, I could not let what has happened in the past four days, especially the last 24 hours, go by without commenting on it.
In four days, three police officers were shot in Philadelphia. Last night an officer was shot in the shoulder. The thug who [...]

Poe = Halloween!

Well, it is that time of year. I think my favorite horror/suspense actor is Vincent Price. However, everything I found was too chopped or too long. I did find an animated version of Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart.” AND…if you can’t hang with “Tell-Tale Heart,” watch the Simpsons with “The Raven.”
“The Tell-Tale [...]

Headlines! You know you look for them.

1. Kucinich Questions Bush’s Mental Health…Ok. Do I really need to say it? Kucinich does realize he’s nuts, right?Is it me or does Kucinich look like Mr. Peepers? (Dry-hump alert.)
2. No Charges for Tasered Student…Heh. Yeah, I think he did receive some charges (just not legal ones).
3. Ireland’s tallest tower in [...]

Doggy bloggin’

I just had to share. I saw two really beautiful dogs, today. I love dogs. They are so much fun to play around with in a yard. Just about seven years ago, I got my cats, because where I live is not a place to raise a dog–an apartment. I [...]

Let me just give you my whole paycheck, ok?

Not that John Edwards has a chance, but he’s got the “let-the-government-run-your-life” list growing and so I thought I’d take a look. Here are his promises to:

ask Americans to make the sacrifice of paying higher taxes
have the federal government underwrite universal pre-kindergarten
create matching savings accounts for low-income people
mandate a minimum wage of $9.50 per [...]

Porter Wagoner

Porter Wagoner has died. For those of you who do not know who he is, he is the man responsible for many successful careers in country music, but most noted for bringing us Dolly Parton. He was respected by many and was always known for his flashy clothes. I think that [...]

PIMPIN’

I haven’t pimped any blogs in a while. Today, I have decided to pimp some new blogs and some blogs that deserve our attention. I’d blog all of my links, but that list is getting really long. That’s a good thing.
Captain America at First In has a clip that exposes the campaign [...]

Not to mention the ensuing pleasures of the flesh.Your tastes have been called decadent and bizarre. You usually [...]

Zen-like

There is some family drama in my life; however, doesn’t everyone have some? I have an aunt making life for my pops difficult. I took him out to dinner tonight so that he could just get a distraction from her literal insanity.
I took these two pictures when I picked him up for our night [...]

Psssssst…..guess what?

I’m sneaking into Wyatt’s blog this weekend while he is away at MWE! Hmmm….all Rod Brind’Amour all the time! Yeah, baby! Oh, I could also post some recipes and pretty pictures of rainbows and lollipops.
Eh, you know those people you invite to a party and they are fun, but just about finely [...]

An email question. . .

Am I the only one who thinks it ironic that I receive emails from Betty Crocker?
