Obummer Defined


This sums up NoBama:

Hypocritical,  Incoherent, and  Unpresidential


 "Obama’s hypocrisy is built on a foundation of incoherence. This is not surprising. As a candidate and president, he has been as constant as a second is long."

Holidaze

The other day one of our local news readers remarked that our local pro basketball players will be playing out of town on Christmas Day and thus won't be spending the Holiday with their families.

And he sounded as if I should be sad about this.
 
Really,  George ?  

I'm just so upset that millionaire sports players may have to spend Xmas eve in a luxury hotel away from their multi-million dollar mansions, that I don't know what to do.  < sarcasm

Oh, wait.

I could send Xmas packages and cards to the thousands of U.S. Marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen who are serving their country overseas.  
 
They aren't staying in luxury hotels nor cashing paychecks with lots of zeros.
 
Their families aren't with them either.



Day of Infamy



On Sunday, December 7th, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Forces stationed here. This precipitated the United States’ entry into WW II.

 USS California: Sunk at her berth

On Aging

Yes, another birthday looms.


 Thoughts:
 Quit worrying about your health.  It'll go away.
I'm not old. I'm chronologically gifted.
Birthdays are good for you.  The more you have, the longer you live.
 


Things OLD Folks Know That Young Folks Should Learn:

Too many couples marry for better or for worse, but not for good.

When a man marries a woman, they become one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.

Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, make beds, is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.

Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.

Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.





"The secret of staying young is to live honestly, 
eat slowly, and lie about your age."

Lucille Ball


Happy Thanksgiving 2011

May your stuffing be tasty. May your turkey be plump.

May your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious. May your pies take the prize.

May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.

Veterans' Day 2011


A ‘Veteran‘ is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to, and including his life.”
