Today's Top News

You know there are woman that get cheated on everyday, some that live in trailers with some good for nothing loser that can't keep a job... they find out and kick the bum out and what do they get... to keep the rented trailer and the set of Arby's Christmas glasses, that's a combo that could make any woman bitter. But today I found out one woman could possibly find forgiveness a bit easier, Tiger's soon to be ex-wife is going to get a couple of houses and 750 million dollars!  I'd always heard of marrying well but wow-wee that lady divorced well.  If I were her I could so smile at his dumb arse every time I had to see him.  C'mon 750 million that's a whole lot of medicine for the ol' heartache.

*Yes guys I know women cheat too... I'm sure one day we'll get to that.

Hot Crazed Sex Poodles

Today's Top News

Is it hot in here or is that just global warming? Silly me I thought the Gores broke up because the site of Al's naked arse grossed out Tipper but I was so wrong.  After reading all of this business I'm just sickened. Of course mainly because some "crazed sex poodle" thought he could just have his way with someone just because he thinks he's special.

And then there's the comment in the article about a liberal friend who told the woman, that Gore tried to bore, (you can take that one either way you'd like) that she couldn't tell on him because then the planet would suffer if Al didn't save it from global warming.  REALLY?  People like that vote folks!

Global Warming Leads to Nudity

Today's Top News

As most of you have probably heard, Tipper and Al Gore are getting divorced after 40 years of marriage.  It does leave me wondering who will get the new place in California that is sure to be underwater within years with the Earth's temperature rising and all. With that said, one might think that global warming might have something to do with their breakup. I mean, you know, when it gets hotter, tempers get short.  Or maybe the heat caused Al to walk around in his underwear, or worse, in nothing at all, and Tipper became repulsed.  But nnnooo, that's not it at all. According to CBS News, it's George W. Bush's fault!   No, really, you can read all about it here.

And yes you are welcome for the Al Gore visual. :oP

Today's Interesting Status

"It’s called the 'grey fallacy.' One person says 'black,' another says 'white,' and people assume the truth is somewhere in the middle. But this is sloppy, lazy thinking. Just because someone takes a position that is diametrically opposed to the truth does not skew the truth in his direction. The truth is still the truth."

You can ponder on that one awhile!

The Health Care debate is in full swing today on Facebook and people are fired up!  The ones opposed to this bill are posting the Kill the Bill picture as their profile picture.  From what I can tell it's spreading like wildfire.  I'd be interested in knowing if any of your friends are posting this as well.

Today's Fan Page

I have found the perfect fan page for my mother.  She calls me all the time to tell me about all the mistakes on my blog.  The woman is so obsessed with grammar and punctuation, that she took her a newsletter she received from the company that she worked for marked it up with a red pen, and sent it back to them.  I'm sure a phone call will be coming after she reads this post as well.  Hi mom!


If people like me drive you crazy with their lackadaisical attitude when it comes to grammar and punctuation this fan page is for you,  'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives.

My New Idea

I think that we should start one of those chain status deals and I have an idea for it to see how far we can get it around Facebook.  I'll announce it when we have 100 fans on our page so join up by clicking the Facebook widget on the sidebar and becoming a fan.

Ramenaire, Cherubs and a Celebrity Goat

Today's Top News

I learned about this guy that was just so miserable being a millionaire that he was getting rid of all his things and money to feel better.  Now I've never been a millionaire so I'm not so sure about how I would feel about that but I know it's not very pleasant to not have any money either in fact it just plain sucks.  I've been through times in my life, and I'm sure many others have too, that I like to call the "Ramen Era" I guess at that point I was a ramenaire.

What truly made me curious about this article is that it only mentioned his wife one time and it didn't mention how she felt about giving all the money away.  Did she take her half and leave or is she all in on this?

Free Cell Phones and Workin' The Farm

Today's Top News


Wireless Welfare - Wow, did you know now when you go to pick up the food stamps, you also get a cell phone!  In this article, http://blog.heritage.org/2010/01/18/government-welfare-cell-phones-for-the-poor/

 I found that over 20 states have this program in place with more to follow. The United States spent almost $819 million on this program and of course you know the price tag is going to get bigger!

This story also reminds me that you can also use your government issue cell phone to take a pic of our First Lady on the days she goes to work at the soup kitchen.

Today's Well That's Interesting...

Now most of the friends I have had the day off of work.  Seems like I would get some interesting stories as to what they did on their day off.  Well I can tell you that it looks as if the majority of them squandered their day off playing farm, cafe and some fishy aquarium thing. I guess though it keeps them out of trouble I haven't heard of anyone ever going to jail for playing Farmville.

Fur, Fees, and Feet PJ's

Today's Top News

The fur was flyng today after last nights Texas gubernatorial debate with Debra Medina, Kay Baily Hutchinson, and Rick Perry. Had the debate not been virtual I would have been hiding under my desk. I've heard it said before that politics was a bloodsport.  I'm proud though that while my friends are strong in their beliefs that they are keeping it a clean fight, no name calling... well so far anyway!

I like that my kids call it a Goober debate!

Today's Really?

Soap Box Time - I saw that someone posted on their status a rant, slamming the banks because of processing fees on credit card charges for Haiti. I have to say that while I think the banks could give a discount. It's their business, they have rent, electric bills, office supplies (which some employees use at work and home! LOL) and employees, etc. So, when the people that beATCH that other people (the banks in this case) should give up their money they need to give up theirs first. I guess they think working for free is ok. I don't think anyone should be forced into a charitable act.

Haiti! You'd have to pretty much not have a pulse to miss that one.  It's so very sad. They need our prayers and money. I learned on Facebook that you can donate to the American Red Cross by texting Haiti to 90999 and $10 will be added to your cell phone bill to help the relief efforts in that country. I did confirm this and you can check out here. 

Today's Facebook Fun

On a lighter note, someone, and only God knows who, on Facebook decided it was retro week.  They put their status as, GOING RETRO....WAY BACK WEEK! Post a pic of yourself when you were younger & see how adorable and funny we all were! Copy & paste!  Then they post a picture of when they were younger.  Sadly,  given the average age of my friends it looks more like mullet week. I might just have nightmares and I've already caught myself humming Achy Breaky Heart!  It just makes me want to put on some mom jeans and go line dancing.
*Disclaimer - I don't know the guy in that picture, he's just some random dude I found on the internet.

Now because you are my guest here I thought I'd save you the trouble of going to find good ol' Billy Ray.  No need to thank me really, it's my pleasure.

Cheers & Jeers, Jargon & Jackets

Today's Top News Story

Cheers of joy and grumblings of loathing came up all over today as a story broke that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin signed on to be a contributor on the Fox News Channel.  Fox News reported that Tuesday at 8p ET is her first official day on the job.

Today's Word of The Day

I saw a new word today that I didn't know.  It was used on a comment about the above story.  The comment said that Palin made liberals apoplectic.

From  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary
Main Entry: ap·o·plec·tic
Pronunciation: \ˌa-pə-ˈplek-tik\
Function: adjective
Etymology: French or Late Latin; French apoplectique, from Late Latin apoplecticus, from Greek apoplēktikos, from apoplēssein
Date: 1611

1 : of, relating to, or causing stroke
2 : affected with, inclined to, or showing symptoms of stroke
3 : of a kind to cause or apparently cause stroke ; also : greatly excited or angered

Since I started this blog just less than a week ago I've added two new words to my vocabulary. The cool thing is that I can use them both in one single sentence. The assclowns in D.C. are making people all over the country feel apoplectic. I know you'll want to use that witty piece of work as your own during your next political conversation around the water cooler so, please feel free.

Trash Talkin', Texas Pride, & An Expanding Vocabulary

Todays' History Lesson

Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood - I was surprised to learn about this woman.  I was truly blown away by some of the statements she made about the human race in general.  Sure, we are all guilty of thinking we are better than others at times but old Margaret took her beliefs to an extreme.  I was in awe of, what I would call, her twisted mindset.  If you'd like to learn more about Ms. Sanger click here.

Today's Big Theme

Like I said in my previous post the majority of my friends live in Dallas or have at some point.  There is all kind of talk about the Cowboys' first playoff game.  There are doubters that are worried about the one and done of the past.  But then there are those hard core Kool-aid drinking fans that are trash talking it up!  The only way I truly care about the outcome of this game is what my husband's mood will be tomorrow. :oP

Today's Word of The Day

I admit today wasn't the most interesting day on Facebook.  But the word of the day had to be the bestest! On the comments on a quiz about the Health Care Debate I saw someone refer to the current legislature and administration as a bunch of ASSCLOWNS!  LOL This will now be one of my new favorite words. See I'm expanding my vocabulary, Facebook is educational.

So, why is he the hero of the day? Colt simply stated, "I always give God the glory. I never question why things happen the way they do. God is in control of my life. And I know that if nothing else, I'm standing on the Rock."  He sounds like a very honorable young man!

'Terrorism' Exists Only in Your Mind - Great story addressing what we've all been thinking about the underwear bomber.  Not just that it could have been awful and devastating but the other part about being crazy enough to blow yourself and other people up but omg being crazy enough to put that stuff in your undies.  I mean really if the guy had been successful did they tell him his package would be safe when he got to the other side? Otherwise he wouldn't have had much use for the virgins.

Today's Odd Event

Apparently today was the day for posting about one's underwear.  I found out my friends have a plethora of colors, stripes, polka dots, plaids and some don't have any at all.  I just don't know if I needed to know all of that. I admit though that some brought more pleasant visuals than others.
