Simple Question
I was just wondering….. If a person would compromise his or her principles, all for the sake of political expediency, wouldn’t that mean they really don’t have any principles at all?And in that vein, wouldn’t it mean they shouldn’t be in any position of power?
People of Walmart
Don’t you love those emails ya get from relatives and friends, featuring the People of Walmart? I have to tell ya, some of the pictures with the captions have me literally in tears from laughing so hard. Well, I got one of those emails today from my brother in law, and yes, tears rolling down the cheeks, cackling like a chicken laying an egg. Well, I thought I’d go look at the site to see what’s new, just for something to do. Well, it’s not like I don’t have anything to do. It’s just that, well, at the time, I didn’t feel like doing it. 
Proof Stupidity Is World Wide
(I know you’ve seen this before. I may have even posted. But I think it’s hilarious, and should be repeated often. 
)
In Honor of Stupid People . . . .
In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.
On a Sears hairdryer — Do not use while sleeping.
(That’s the only time I have to work on my hair.)
On a bag of Fritos — You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Dial soap — “Directions: Use like regular soap.”
(and that would be???….)
A Quiet Moment, In the Middle Of The Night
SOMETIMES…
We must be hurt in order to grow,
We must fail in order to know,
We must lose in order to gain.
Some Lessons are learned best only through pain.
SOMETIMES…
Our vision clears only after our eyes are washed with tears.
We have to be broken, so we can be tender,
We are sick so we can rest and think better on things more important than
work or fun,
We are taken for trip near death, so we can assess how we’ve run.
SOMETIMES…
We have to suffer lack, so we can know God’s provision,
We have to feel anothers pain, so we can have a sense of mission.
So take heart, if you don’t understand today,
Instead of grumbling, ask God what He means to say,
In order to learn you must endure, and learn to see the bigger picture.
In order to grow, you must stand and look beyond the hurt,
Trust in God’s loving hand that takes what is Good, and gives what is Best,
And on this blessed thought, rest your anxious heart with all the questions,
God’s hand only gives what his loving heart dictates,
SOMETIMES…
The Lord calms the storm,
SOMETIMES…
He lets the storm rage… and calms His child…
Better go through the storm with Him,
Than smooth waters without Him…

So Simple
SPELLING LESSON
The last 4 letters in the word American are … I CAN
The last 4 letters in the word Republican are … I CAN
The last 4 letters in the word Democrats are … RATS

It’s no secret I’m not a huge fan of the Republicans these days. I do feel that IF we can steer the party BACK to it’s platform, then there is REAL hope it may not become even more irrelevant that it has become.

How the world works lately…
(Oldie but goodie.)
If a man cuts his finger off while Slicing salami at work, he blames the restaurant.
If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the Tobacco company.
If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.
If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer…
And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore.
So, if I die while my OLD WRINKLED Butt is parked in front of this computer, I want all of you to Blame Bill Gates.

Too Funny
Now why would the Department of State be Googling “Nanny Pelosi”??
Ever In One Of Those Moods?
Had To Do It
I know you’ve probably seen this before, but I can’t help it. Had to post it. Every time I read it, I darn near fall off my chair.
A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:
Last weekend I saw something at Larry’s Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety. WAY TOO COOL!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. Loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I’d get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Smart Cats
Four Cats
Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.
The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist, and the fourth man was a Government Employee.
To show off, the Engineer called his cat, ‘T-square, do your stuff.’
T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.
Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, ‘Spreadsheet, do your stuff.’
Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.
Everyone agreed that was pretty good!
But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, ‘Measure, do your stuff.’
Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.
Everyone agreed that was pretty good.
Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, ‘What can your cat do?’
The Government Employee called his cat and said, ‘Coffee Break, do your stuff.’
Coffee Break jumped to his feet……..ate the cookies……..drank the milk……..pottied on the paper…….screwed the other three cats…….claimed he injured his back while doing so…….filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions…….put in for Workers’ Compensation. ……….…..and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.
AND THAT, MY FRIEND, IS WHY HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT!!

This Thing Is Older Than I Am!
Fair warning….no doubt some people could be offended by this very old Bugs Bunny cartoon, but that’s their problem, not mine. I can’t imagine how much screeching would be going if I actually posted THIS one!
Always loved Bugs, and I remember seeing this one on Saturday mornings.
Yeah…Yeah…Happy Valentine’s Day, and All That Sappy Mush!

Just My Opinion
While I did not watch the whole game (I was at church during the first half), I did catch a few of the over priced commercials.
This particular one I found highly offensive! I’m sure they meant it as humorous, but how long will it be before we see this happening in reality?
Now this one, I loved. Well, critters are usually a favorite of mine anyway, so when you combine the longhorn with a big horsey…..
