Women Are NOT From Venus

Spiral Galaxy Like Our Own Shines with Pink Clouds 
 
  Astrologers have discovered the Yin of our Yang! Men are Not from Mars and Women are Not from Venus, just as I always suspected! This discovery adds new meaning to the phrase used by so many couples when an issue is contentious or seemingly unresolvable.

  "We are galaxies apart on this"

  As it now turns out, truer words were never spoken!

  A man always knows how to solve an issue, resolution however, adds many unnecessary steps in the process to confuse him. It is just the way we are hardwired. And, Ladies, before you come running after me with pitchforks and torches to burn me at the stake for my "He Man Woman Haters" rhetoric today, remember; I still believe it is proper to tip my hat and open a door for a lady!

  Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the pooch is snickering at me, Again!

911 - The Day Lady Liberty Wept

THE LADY
I wonder what she thought
As she stood there, strong and tall.
She couldn't turn away,
She was forced to watch it all.

Did she long to offer comfort
As her country bled?
With her arm forever frozen
High above her head.

She could not shield her eyes
She could not hide her face
She just stared across the water
Keeping Freedom's place.

The smell of smoke and terror
Somehow reduced her size
So small within the harbor
But still we recognized...

How dignified and beautiful
On a day so many died
I wonder what she thought,
And I know she must have cried.

I Wonder....

Sarah Palin Checks Into Rehab; Last Six Months Suddenly Make Sense

 It Really would explain a lot!

 Does anyone really, really read this stuff? Or what I write for that matter? 

 Do I write these meandering missives for my own twisted need to express my opinion about happy or disturbing events transpiring around me? And, does anybody really give a rat's patootie about what I opine? Probably more of the former and less of the latter! And yet, I question why I ponder to write about what I wonder, and wonder about what I ponder!


 Ha-Ha...the simple truth being I have nothing worthy to write about today because bad news abounds around us and I choose to reject that reality and substitute my own! Reality after all is what we make of it and I choose to make it a Great one! 

 Meanwhile, back in the real world, the pooch snickered at me!

Bran For The Brain

10 foods to help boost your brain power


 Aside from the Curry, I like all of these!


  Does that make me "Brainier"? How is "Brain Power" measured anyway? A "Thinkohmeter"? With a "Brain Box"? Or, does someone have to "Brain" you? And, for the record, IQ does not equal brain power or one's ability to "think"! IQ is a bad label applied to make people think they are smarter than others. Nobody in this world is smarter than another, just different!

 And, what is "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" ? Does it take two virgin olives to make it? And, is an olive still a virgin after having a pimento stuffed in it, or is that considered a period? How does one or something become Extra Virgin? Does it mean you can lose your virginity once but save the other for later? That would surely solve the white wedding dress controversy!


 Oh such wonders of the world to ponder! After a whole pot of Coffee I Do feel so much more Enlightened! And Yes, Coffee is on the list and My #1 brain stimulation Vice!


 Meanwhile, back at his food dish, the pooch pondered his cuisine!

Give Them The Keys To The Caddy - Again?

CNN Poll: GOP can handle budget slightly better than Democrats

Who do they poll? A select pool of ignorance that forgets exactly how we got here in the first place? An angry bunch of people just sitting down to dinner when the phone rings? Timing is everything and the media knows this, ever stirring the pot with skewed data to make headlines! They are consummate in their ability to herd and move the sheeple hither and yon on the days false promise of greener pastures just over the hill. Biased mass media reigns supreme in today's society, programming and influencing the flock with mindless drivel meant to lull them into docility, allowing them to be fleeced while nodding their heads in a mindless stupor. No need to choose a pasture, they'll do it for you, saving you the trouble of making a choice. Just keep your head down and merrily graze on the words of the herders guiding the flock. Munch, munch, munch.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, someone is shearing the pooch!

Sunday's Offering - A Song

Nickel Creek - The Hand Song



The boy only wanted to give Mother something
And all of her roses had bloomed
Looking at her as he came rushing in with them
Knowing her roses were doomed
All she could see were some thorns buried deep
And the tears that he cried as she tended his wounds

And she knew it was love
It was one she could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands

He still remembers that night as child
On his mother's knee
She held him close and she opened her bible
And quietly started to read
And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out
"Momma, he's got some scars just like me."

And he knew it was love
It was one he could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands

Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own
When Uncle Sam comes along
A foreign affair, but our young men were there
And luck had his number drawn
It wasn't that long till our hero was gone
He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross

But they knew it was love
It was one they could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands

It was one they could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands

St, Pawlenty and His Royal Court Jester Spew Their Profundities - Duck

Pawlenty executive order aims to ‘keep Obamacare out of Minnesota’

President "Wannabe", AKA Tim Pawlenty strikes again! Just one more piece of garbage coming out of Metroapolis/St. Pawlenty! This guy is like lightening across the state, striking at will in an erratic but willful fashion, always to bolster his image with Other State's voters in a shameless bid for the 2012 Presidential office.
Here is an example of what his Highness, St. Pawlenty, and his Loony Jester, Michele Bachmann, stand for! Be Afraid, Be VERY Afraid!
 



Meanwhile, Back in Northern Minnesota, The pooch expired w/o health-care!
