This is my country....

Come on...sing it with me... This is my country, land of my Birth! Oh wait, tell that to the Donald as he sends his "investigators" down to Hawaii to dig up the real deal on our President's birth.
Talk about conspiracy theories.... they actually placed a phony birth notice back in 1961 in the local paper because they knew when he was born he was destined to be President. Wow. In case you missed it, here's Bill Cosby's take on the situation.

This is my Country. Where Bristol Palin is the first unwed teen mother to earn $250,000.00 preaching abstinence. Something she is uniquely qualified to talk about. Tell that to all the other single teen moms out there just trying to survive. Better yet, let's start a speakers' bureau for them.

John Boehner is trying to figure out whether shutting down our nation will help him, or harm him, politically speaking. Buddy, listen up. When Karl Rove and Mike Huckabee tell you to shut up and close the deal...they probably know what they are saying. I don't often agree with those two. Ok. I NEVER agree with them. Till now.

Now playing on CNN: Live video of a tornado watch in Oklahoma. Seriously. Now this isn't an actual tornado. It's live video allowing us to WATCH a Tornado WATCH. In Oklahoma. Ok. Maybe this works for top news on a slow day.
But in the middle of a potential government shutdown this is news? It's Oklahoma. Tornado Alley. Get back to us when something touches down. Though I sure hope nothing does.

Speaking of a government shutdown, what will all those stubborn mules tell their children at the dinner table? Is this not the ultimate do as I say not as I do? Parents teach their children to compromise from day one. And in a perfect world, could point to Washington DC and tell them our nation epitomizes the art of compromise. We can't.

Instead, while the toddlers in DC fold their arms in front of their chest, suck in some hot air and look for the nearest camera crew, so they can watch themselves, sorry, I mean their favorite American Heroes, on TV when it all goes to hell...

the rest of us are clasping our heads, sucking in a lot of polluted air, looking for the nearest remote so we can turn on the TV, tune in to Pawn Stars, and watch OUR favorite American Hero. Chumlee.

Funny thing about Funny Bones

Image
My favorite snack cake growing up was a Funny Bone. Wrapped in silver foil, like a Ring Ding, but shaped like a Yodel, and filled with this awesome peanut butter cream. Truth? It wasn't real cream, or real peanut butter, and who knows what kind of crap was used to make the most horribly delicious food ever. A few years ago I had an awful craving, actually... more like 10 years ago. I haven't eaten sugar in close to nine years. But back to my story. I went online, and to my utter delight, Gristedes in New York would ship me as many boxes of my childhood obsession as I wanted. I ordered like 7 boxes. I wanted my husband to try them. I wanted my girls to experience the sugary rush of awesomeness. Back then, I had no idea it was so deadly. And now I do. But it doesn't mean I gave up my love of Chocolate and Peanut butter cakes rolled in chocolate. Carolyn, over at AlldayIdreamaboutfood.com, had this great layer cake with peanut butter frosting and ganache. She also had a ...

Shots heard round the world, and way too close to home.

I know the buzz today is all about Amy Winehouse. Yeah. I'm sorry she made bad choices too. But in Norway 93 or more people who made good choices are also gone. And will be sorely missed. Their potential will never be known. One, maybe 10 might also have become voices of a generation. So take a moment and express your sadness that one lone misguided singer wasted her talent and her life, and then maybe take a few more if you can spare them to mourn the loss of almost one hundred souls at the hands of a Norwegian madman. You can write off the Norwegian as a crazed lone gunman. Like Jared Loughner. Maybe. But, perhaps not so coincidentally, their insane ideology was identical. Breivik, who admitted to the shooting spree and bomb blast, has said through his lawyer that his actions aimed to "change Norwegian society" which he saw as being undermined by multi-culturalism. That is a frightening statement for anyone to hear, in any country. But here in the US, the hairs on y...

The lunatics are in the Hall...

Here in Arizona we have a problem. The lunatics are in the hall. First, they are shutting down our educational system one giant step at a time. Destroying our children's future. Wasting our taxpayer dollars and then blaming the taxpayers. And punishing the kids. It's immoral, indecent, and insane. Now the crazies in Phoenix have passed SB 1070. The most ridiculous, scary, immigration bill ever. And costly. I am going to state at the outset, yes, we need immigration reform, and we need border security. We need to quell the influx of drug runners and criminal border crossers. Having said that, this law is absurd, bordering on fascist. If you don't look American, then you might just get stopped on the sidewalk and asked for your papers. Yeah. Be careful when you come down and visit our beautiful sunny state. Wear lots of sunblock. If you have too good a tan they might just profile you. And if your city isn't doing enough of this, you can sue them. And if you're c...
