All Joking Aside...

It's hard to take you seriously, Mr. Bush. But way to go with attempting to convince us you care, promising even more government money to fix a government-created problem and all. Spot on, sir.

Tom - "Nothing good comes when the government intervenes. I'm not voting for anyone ever again, unless he stands up and says 'I ain't doin' nuttin. Nada. Zilch'..."

It's hard to take you seriously, Mr. Bloomberg. But way to go with blaming people who obviously handle footballs better than guns with the deaths of children in the streets. Nice job, sir.

Seriously, Plaxico...perhaps just a wee bit more time at the gun range? Or a little less to drink when fidgeting with deadly objects. But I love the seemingly calm reaction reported by a witness..."Take me to the hospital"...Classy, sir.

I seriously doubt that having crowd control training would have stopped this morbid display of human depravity from occurring. People! Read Luke Chapter 2 - that's what it's all about, folks! Jesus didn't grow up playing Xbox 360 Guitar Hero Legends of Rock on a 42" Hi-Def TV Set bought at Walmart at 6:17 AM on Black Friday. Your kids will survive!

And now on to other topics...

Not It!

I got tagged by Shelly.

Cool!

In elementary, I was never the first person picked for kickball, unless my best friend was a team captain. I was generally never the very last pick, which was the ultimate scourge. I was mostly somewhere in the last 1/4 of people chosen. Why? I wasn't overly athletic, at least for organized team sporting events. I'm not a competetive person, surprisingly enough - given my mouthy personality and all.

When it came time to play tag, I was nearly always the first one caught, because I didn't run fast. Besides, it was just so sweet to be caught by the boy I had a crush on. He'd buy me pixie sticks and jaw breakers - I HAD to let him catch me!

I hated being "IT". It took forever to catch anybody!

Now if I tag someone, they don't even have to run if they don't want to!

My choice:

Grandy - She's quite funny - even without her recent drug use. And she just so happens to be blogging every day this month. I can't commit like that!

Short on Tolerance Today

This man has 2 months to lose some weight.

I like Brett Favre. His wife's name is Deanna. Maybe he should just stay home with her instead of screwing around with early retirement. I'd retire without squawking about my millions. But that's just me.

Our economy is not bad enough for many people to sit up and take notice. This proves it.

Did Obama really say this??? "There are some genuine ways in which we can provide some genuine relief to the high price in gas prices,'' Obama said today. "I believe we should give every working family in America a $1,000 energy rebate, and we should pay for it with part of the record profit that oil companies are making right now.'' I don't generally get my news from here, and I'm too lazy to search for this in other places, but I guess it does sound like his ideas. Now if only I can get my next-door neighbor convinced that he should share his retirement money with us, no matter how ill-gotten his gains!



Oh, good grief!
