The Other Woman

I am about to be replaced in my husband’s affections.  Yes, I’m afraid that the man has given his heart to another – she’s got a really nice body, she’s got a lot of get-up-and-go, and she’s new and exciting.

I can’t compete with that.

For the next 6 weeks, I’m going to have to listen to him go on and on about how he can’t wait for her to get here. He’s been telling all of his friends and family about this sexy little model that will soon be joining our household.

No doubt he will be spending all of his spare time with her, running his hands over her sleek lines, lavishing her with all sorts of new toys – giving her nothing but the best. He’ll be taking her out on the town, showing her off, and making all of the other guys pea-green with envy.

At least the bitch is going to be sleeping in the garage…..

A Fateful Monday Morning

Statement by the President, August 6, 1945

THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington, D.C.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE — August 6, 1945

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese Army base. That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of T.N.T. It had more than two thousand times the blast power of the British “Grand Slam” which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare.

The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor. They have been repaid many fold. And the end is not yet. With this bomb we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction to supplement the growing power of our armed forces. In their present form these bombs are now in production and even more powerful forms are in development.

It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East.

The Big Boob Conundrum (aka “Breasts of Mass Destruction”)

Careful – Big Bird Brother is watching…..

New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg has officially lost it:

Under Latch On NYC, new mothers who want formula won’t be denied it, but hospitals will keep infant formula in out-of-the-way secure storerooms or in locked boxes like those used to dispense and track medications.

With each bottle a mother requests and receives, she’ll also get a talking-to. Staffers will explain why she should offer the breast instead.

“It’s the patient’s choice,” said Allison Walsh, of Beth Israel Medical Center. “But it’s our job to educate them on the best option.”

I Didn’t Write This Post – Al Gore Did

Since Rebecca is home all day during the summer, we’re having fun introducing her to a wider range of movies. Whereas before she was primarily interested in the animated flicks, this year she has developed a taste for the offbeat humor that us older folks enjoy.

Her current favorite is “Ghostbusters”, but we watched “Men in Black” yesterday. One of my favorite musical moments is the tunnel scene when Tommy Lee Jones pops a toe-tapping tune into the 8-track player.

Now, I haven’t kept up with all of the Elvis songs, so I wasn’t familiar with that catchy little number, but thanks to the internet, I took a couple of the words that I heard – “Swing down chariot” – and entered them on the Search line, along with “Elvis”.

Civic Duty

The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure.
–Albert Einstein

.
We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
–Abraham Lincoln

Early this morning, Paul and I went to vote in the Texas Primary Runoff Election.
There are those who will tell you that the Tea Party is dead – we’ll see.

Let’s light this candle.

Voting is a civic sacrament.
–Theodore Hesburgh

“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”

I ran across this the other day – Mack Wilberg‘s arrangement of this beloved hymn (sung by the incomparable Mormon Tabernacle Choir) gave me goosebumps:

Something Beautiful – “Per Te”

I’ve loved this song since the first time that I heard it; Josh Groban has such an amazing voice, and “Per Te” (from his multi-platiunum album “Closer“)  is just an amazing song – the soaring violins, piano accompaniment, and tympani undertones just stir my soul:

Oh my gosh….

Falafel Stands – Yes, Chicken Sandwiches – No

You can have my Chick-Fil-A sandwich when you pry it from my cold, dead hands….

Well, gay activists have started yet another hate campaign against yet another company, employing some Cirque-du-Soleil type of mental gymnastics to misrepresent one man’s response to a simple question asked during an interview with a Christian publication.

It seems that a business owner’s personal beliefs are enough for these hysterical screechers to run to anyone who will listen and scream “It’s not fair!” in order to advance their personal agenda.  As one person put it:

….the split-second reaction from these activists is to slander…. [a] company in the press and blogosphere. It just takes one company taking an alternative position to make the gay activists and liberal press hit the ceiling. But that’s where we are today.”

Stanton said the message by some opponents of Chick-fil-A apparently is, “Speak up for the natural, traditional family and we will come after you.”

“If you don’t believe this,” Stanton said, “just watch how Chick-fil-A will be treated in the coming months. They [Chick-fil-A’s critics] are the new close-minded fundamentalists.”
