What Now?

So, I was watching the Nightly News , as I do every night, and there was a whole segment, with experts and all, explaining why being fat could be contagious. They did the whole thing without either of them cracking a smile, while I was falling out of my recliner, laughing at the silliness of it all.

That's what we need. Another reason to discriminate against fat people.

So, now we are sending arms to Saudi Arabia. Well, fine. Saudi Arabia has not given the U.S. even the smallest bit of support in anything, and yet, we are going to give them more arms. GIVE. As if they can't afford to pay for them. Not that I think we ought to offer to sell to them.

The Saudis are actually our enemies, folks. The 9/11 terrorists came from there for the most part.

Dick Cheney got another new heart yesterday. Oh, I know, I know, they keep calling it a replacement pacemaker. But, he has been getting new hearts every few years - because he was actually born without one. The one they implanted when he was an infant lasted for many years, until he started working for Halliburton. Then, he was under stress, so his ticker started acting up, and they had to replace it about every 5 years. Now, it's every 2 to 3 years, in case you haven't noticed.

Did you happen to catch the Russian women who took place in the 100 meter race in three-inch heels? It wasn't a pretty sight.

OK, I 'll stop the nonsense and move along to the award section of the blog. Recently, Jay bestowed a Creative Blogger award on his ever-lovin' mom and four or five other people. So, now, I get to give them to five people of my own choosing. And, I choose: (Drum roll, please)







Kell, of 'Tis Herself, who is beyond creative. She is interested in everything. And, good at everything she attempts.

Claude, at Blogging In Paris, who is an amazing photographer and tells you all about her photographs.

Gail, at Driving Chairman Bao, who writes the most interesting travel blog. She and her Shi Tzu, Chairman Bao travel all over the country - and Canada - and anywhere else they take a notion to go, and she blogs with great pictures.

Patsy, at My Life and Times, who will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about chickens, with pictures, and occasionaly lapses into a political rant or a story about growing up in rural Arkansas. She's a hoot.

And, I can't leave out Maya's Granny who comes to us from Alaska. She tells wonderful stories, which are written for her granddaughter, Maya, as well as some very intelligent political articles. She has had such an interesting life, you never know what she's going to tell you about.

If you want to give five people this award, or one of the other awards mentioned , go to the following website, and find out all about it. Good luck!
