NO more humor... just more tragic, sad, sick, twisted goings ons - Sorry
Forget the following:

"Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone"
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855– ?)

Source: John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

THE ONLY THING NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING.
-Edmund Burke

-

LEARN TO DO GOOD; SEEK JUSTICE, REBUKE THE OPPRESSOR; DEFEND THE FATHERLESS, PLEAD FOR THE WIDOW.
-Isaiah 1:17

-

TEACH THIS TRIPLE TRUTH TO ALL: A GENEROUS HEART, KIND SPEECH, AND A LIFE OF SERVICE AND COMPASSION ARE THE THINGS WHICH RENEW HUMANITY.
-Buddha

-

Congress shall make no law respecting an established religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. - Bill of Rights, March 4, 1789

It is quite possible that some entries may be so sad, sick, twisted, or troubling the only response is to laugh, which as I stated in the beginning of this items description, "Laugh and the world laughs with you..."

I've heard it said, "the ability to laugh keeps a person young."

*Star**Star**Star*


It's a sick and troubling world WE THE PEOPLE are living in today, and the people that we've always looked to to make it better, just aren't*Exclaim*

Haditha
June 5, 2006 at 9:57am
OH, once again this is another example of what should not be tried in the court of public opinion, damn it!!! Unless a man or woman has served in combat, specially in Iraq, what they think DOES NOT MATTER. What happened in Haditha is not the result of the actions of a few "bad apples". There are definitive reasons why such tragic incidents happen during war, with the first and foremost cause being specifically 'the failure of leadership.' IF you truely want to know wh...

Drugs, Sex, and Cigarettes - Part II
April 30, 2006 at 4:54pm
I have been reminded that I am a drug addict. Yep, I'm addicted the nicotine contained in the cigarettes that I pay for with legally earned money. The money I use to pay for my drug addiction is well taxed - first when it's earned, and again when I spend it... but I guess that's another rant... my point is, one of the two or three readers of my Blog took the time to remind me that my stance on DRUGS in the previous entry seemed odd, since I too am a drug addict.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I often wonder about where George W. Bush went wrong. Something had to be terribly wrong with the way his parents raised him. No, parents aren't always to blame, but I'm willing to consider a possible exception in this case. I can't tell ya'll how many times I've just wanted to slap Barbara. What the hell did she teach her son? Tell me why she is not at the White House whooping her son. What is she waiting for? What a dis... [Read more]
Why is Jeff Foxworthy so funny?
April 2, 2006 at 1:54pm
It seems to me there are a combination of reasons Jeff Foxworthy's humor is so truely funny, and it's NOT because his humor is really that unique. Part of what makes what he says so funny is the true honesty in the manner in which he presents it. Jeff Foxworthy is definitely an entertainer. Yep... Part of his appeal has also gotta be because there are generally only two kinds of people in the world. (don go arguing with me about generalizations. Thank you.) Yep - the two general... [Read more]

Who looks forward to a nice soak in a whirlpool bath?

In the past, I've checked into really nice hotels to take advantage of a welcomed, long, well deserved, warm, relaxing soak in a raging whirlpool bath. Alas, no more. And I'm sure everyone wants to know why whirlpools are now off limits. Why shouldn't we all avail ourselves of a little luxury - a nice whirlpool soak.
