Caption The Eight Pm'er…

I’m having ‘feelings’ today… special feelings for someone I call the ‘Eight pm’er’.  What better way to save my memories than in a ‘Kodak’ moment?   All I need is a little help from some Treepers…help in coming up with just the right caption.

Does Politico Tilt Left…Is Today Thursday?

The following proves once more that birds will fly,  fish will swim, and duct tape will still fix just about anything.  
(Daily Caller)“Congratulations to Barr for moving from the farm team to The Show.”  Jim Treacher

"The Undefeated" Gains Momentum In California

Yesterday afternoon, PhillyCon left me the link to a very interesting review along with the following words of encouragement.  “To everyone fighting the good fight:  sometimes we don’t see the fruits of our labor immediately, it happens when we least expect.”  The link she referred me to perfectly  illustrates her point.  The following report comes from the Essex & Orange 1773 team from San Francisco, California…via Barbaric Thoughts.  (more…)

The New Yorker's Map Of America

Since most New Yorkers think the world revolves around their city, consequently few of them have an accurate idea of what the Unites States of America really looks like.   Anyone who doesn’t live in Los Angeles or New York City doesn’t really matter, has no meaningful opinions, or doesn’t exist other than in some weird Amish/Deliverance kind of lifestyle.
News Flash:  Minnesota is not Southern Canada.  E-I-E-I-O is not a zip code. And, there is no East Jesus.
Below is the Map of America….as seen by the average New Yorker.  (more…)

Thomas Edison's Doll Talks…After 123 Years Of Silence

Mystery solved: The metal ring, which contains a recording of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", lay in the bottom of a secretary's desk for decades.

(Daily Mail)…For decades it lay in the bottom of a secretary’s desk drawer, its purpose unknown. But now, 123 years after it was made, the secret of this bent metal ring, which was found in Thomas Edison’s laboratory, has finally been uncovered. Scientists have found that the microscopic grooves on the ring make up the tune of ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ and mark the world’s first attempt at a talking doll and the dawn of America’s recording industry.

"The Undefeated"….My Brief Synopsis

I know some of you are planning on seeing “The Undefeated” this weekend, and I thought you might be curious to read about the highlights you can look forward to viewing.  I was lucky enough to attend one of the movie’s previews last June 30th, and using the footlights in the theater, I took copious notes.  The following is my synopsis of the movie based on those  notes.
The movie is presented in three acts with a coda. It is based on Palin’s book, “Going Rogue”. (more…)

Dancing In The Rain…(Tissue Alert)

Every now and then, on a busy Saturday afternoon, something catches your eye….something that makes you stop and count your blessings.  The following excerpt from You Got to be Kidding’s Blog, is just that sort of thing.
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80′s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.  I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. (more…)

File This Under Wingnut Humor…..

Here in sunny California, I’ve got Obama voters on either side of me…voters so enamored with him, they put large signs on their front lawns declaring their undying love.  We’ve also got a vast assortment of canine critters, the kind that leave calling cards all their own.  Seems a shame to toss away a perfectly good opportunity, when a campaign statement of my own could be made.

Pastafarians Strain Credulity With Driver's License Headgear

The Flying Spaghetti Monster

(The Blaze)…The rules are simple: Austrian drivers license holders are only allowed to wear head coverings in official pictures for “confessional reasons.” This regulatory exemption allows practicing Muslim women to wear hijabs while simultaneously disallowing baseball caps and cowboy hats which could potentially obstruct key identifying features.

But while refusing to conform to the selectively applied “no headgear” rules, self-professed atheist Niko Alm decided to make a political point by petitioning the government to allow him to wear his own kind of “religious headgear” in his license photo: a noodle strainer. (more…)
