I was reading an article (Hot Air) about Cynthia McKinney considering running for president on the green party, I think. Well, to tell the truth, I was laughing so hard it was difficult to see. But I just thought I’d share this visual with you ’cause it’s FUNNY! Can you imagine her sitting beside Pelosi? Ye gads!
Imagine not knowing what happened to your beautiful, 18 yr old daughter for two very long years. That’s 730 days, 24 hrs a day to think about her. Imagine all the horror stories your mind could come up with, while you try to hold on to the thought that she’ll be found alive. I know how crushed my heart would be. And please don’t say you’re tired of hearing about this. Don’t be so heartless as to not care about someone’s child.
What if it was your child?
A sleeping man in Jerusalem awoke to find a wild leopard in his bed! He was able to pin it down for about 20 mins until help arrived and it was taken away.
Who knew this was a problem in Israel?? It seems when leopards become too old to hunt, they chase down pet dogs and cats for food. The man’s cat, as well as his small daughter, were also in the bed. The leopard was very weak or he most likely could not have restrained it! No lie–I’ve seen leopards hauling animals much larger than they are up trees! (And I can’t restrain my cat long enough to do her nails!)
The leopard will probably be released. Umm, now that he knows there’s food there, won’t he be back?
Don’t forget to say a prayer for our troops who are in harm’s way and also their families who are anxiously awaiting their return.
If you are not already involved with sending care packages to the deployed troops, I hope you will begin to do so. If you don’t want to get personally involved, you can always make donations to the websites, like Any Soldier or BooksForSoldiers so they can continue doing good things for the soldiers. Treats for Soldiers will send a box of goodies and all you have to do is pay for it–they send it to a soldier. I like picking out what I’m going to send to a soldier and you can usually find a list of things they want on AnySoldier.
Thank you to all the veterans, past and present, male and female. God bless our great country–land of the free because of the brave.

Some things cannot be improved on or replaced. I think that is a very good description of John Wayne. He sure left an empty pair of boots! Too many movies to choose a favorite.
Some quotes from the Duke:
“IF IT HADN’T BEEN FOR FOOTBALL AND THE FACT I GOT MY LEG BROKE AND HAD TO GO INTO THE MOVIES TO EAT, WHY, WHO KNOWS, I MIGHTA TURNED OUT TO BE A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT.”
Life is hard, it’s harder if you’re stupid.
Talk low, talk slow and don’t say too much.
If you’ve got them by their balls, their hearts and minds will follow.
Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.
I love cowboys!

“I brought Rosie to the show. Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at ‘The View.’ I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change,” said show creator Barbara Walters.
You could’ve fooled me, Baba! Not a fan of this show or Rosie, who is a 9-11 truther and unhinged to boot! ABC is saying she won’t be back to finish the 3 weeks. What a shame–NOT!
Update: Rosie says she may never speak to Elizabeth again. I hope Elizabeth is rejoicing! Rosie is responsible for what comes out of her mouth, not Elizabeth.
Photo borrowed from LMC–too funny! Click to enlarge if your eyes can take it!.
An Egyptian man was arrested at the airport in Cairo after he was discovered to have 700 live snakes in his carry-on bag! The snakes were in small cloth bags and included 2 poisonous cobras! He said he hoped to sell them in Saudia Arabia where some shop owners keep them in glass jars or sell them to research centers.
Holy cow!
No, that isn’t a typo! My question is WHY?
A psychologist (?) and her attorney husband who’ve been married for over 30 yrs and have 3 other kids went to Cape Town, South Africa, last year to a center that specializes in older mothers and had in vitro fertilization. She said she wanted her 6 yr old son to have siblings closer to his age! I guess this thought didn’t occur to them years ago?? She had the twins by c-section and they each weighed 4# 11 ozs. They also have a son, 33 and a 29 yr old daughter. The daughter was quoted as saying she didn’t know what her mother was thinking! Me neither!
I’m sorry but this boggles my mind! They should go back and interview her again when the twins are two–if she’s still around! heh Yeah, that was ugly. Somebody smack my hand!
Carol, at Alabama Improper, is real busy but she found time to hit me with a meme where I’m to tell 8 things about myself and then torture, er pass it on to 8 more vic, people!
Lock your doors and turn out the lights!!
1. I am still ticked off at Santa ’cause he never brought the horse I asked for –every bloomin’ year!
2. I love humor! (If you haven’t guessed by now!) My cousin calls me a smarta$$–but laughs while saying it!
3. Everytime I see a Mustang, I want one of the loud, gas guzzlers. I had one some time ago until the husband left it unlocked in a parking lot! We had already settled with the insurance co when it was found.
4. About the same thing happens when I watch a horse race! Makes me want to hop on a horse and say giddy-up! Too many Westerns, I guess! You know the little trick they do where the rider hops over the rump and lands in the saddle? I think I could do that on a pony! heh
5. I love the beach–sand, seagulls, breeze, sound of the ocean–love it all! Sunburn, things with teeth in the water…not so much! But having a house on the beach would be great!
6. I enjoy traveling and if I had deep pockets, would see a lot more of the world. I would even consider living in another country for awhile, maybe. I really like Italy.
7. All the good things I did while pregnant with my son were negated by my dr’s failure to show up at the hospital when I went in. He had a dental appt. That’s right, my baby had one chance of being born and the dentist was a friend of his who, I’m sure, would’ve made a special appt for him anytime. I needed a c-section and by the time he got there it was too late and the end result was my son having 2 blood clots on the lining of his brain, surgery at 1 and a lifetime of cerebral palsy. This is not something they tell you. You’re left on your own to figure it out for yourself. I might do a post about that ….one day.
8. I have very little technical blogging know-how! Can you tell?!

Tom Selleck will be on tv this Tuesday CBS 8 CST, as detective
Jesse Stone. I know where I’ll be!
5/22-Just saw Tom on the Morning Show talking about the movie and he said he was going to be on another network on a series but no details! He also said they were working on a 5th Jesse Stone movie! More Tom–yay!
Udate: Okay, I’ve seen it and am alittle irritated by some of it! They need to lose the ex-wife theme! Blech Would’ve been nice to have seen him in a few romantic scenes. I managed to close my eyes right at the end which is so infuriating! I missed about 5 mins! Woke up in the gun shoot out! Like the dog but he never made a sound–even with the shooting! It was good to see Tom and I’m very curious about the tv show he’s going to be in next year.
