My Two Cents Are Free

Porky (n.k.a. Paxton) looks SO HAPPY with his forever owner! Cody posted some pictures on facebook of his new son over the weekend. He gets a lot of contact with other pooches, and is leading a very active life with Cody. Porky looks GREAT!!! We miss him. I miss his tappity tappity cheese dance when I come home from work and his graceful running around the back yard. What an awesome dog!

I love Current. I see the most out there things on this channel sometimes.  This was a nice watch after watching a whole morning about AIDS, orphans, and clean water issues in Africa. A rapping jelly donut as a palate cleanser.  

Okay. That was amazing. I am now an Adam Lambert fan.

just effing awesome

There is a tomcat that has been hanging out in our backyard. He is awfully pretty and big. Apparently, he doesn't know he is supposed to be afraid of Saffie (just like the squirrels and birds)

He was walking by and saw Saffie at the backdoor and paused to watch her. Saffie pawed at the window like she does when the squirrels come to eat the feed out of the bowl we keep on the back porch. Karen took a little video.

Please ignore the two fold up chairs on the porch. They came out while we were cleaning a room and haven't made it back in.

[Error: unknown template qotd]I would (and have) told. I would want someone to tell me. I cannot control how they react to it, but I think it is better to be able to live with myself than to keep a friend. I am not stupid enough to trash talk their significant other regardless of how I feel because if they stay with that person, they are likely going to have a hard time getting past whatever ugly things I have said about the person that they love.

If my friend chooses to stay with that person, there is nothing I can do about it, but I cannot live with having not said anything.

Thanks Dennis. This was an awesome find.

So much better than the original.

Do people really do that? I remember in school people threatened to pinch me for not wearing green, but they didn't. I am assuming the look in my eye of "go ahead. I DARE you" made them give it a second thought.

I would usually just point to my eyes and say, "I have some green in there." to excuse my error in neglecting to wear green for this stupid holiday.

It was an amusingly painful watch. Jon Stewart had Jim Cramer from CNBC on The Daily Show last night.

At work, I have a big flat screen TV mounted on the wall in front of me and it has to stay on CNBC all day. That is eight hours a day of watching our economy tank and watch the crap on Capitol Hill. In the afternoon, I get the joy of Jim Cramer yelling and using sound effects like a schmaltzy drive time radio host. Usually I have the TV on mute. This is in part because I need to focus on what I am doing and a lot of the people on the TV make me want to yell and throw things at it. I did catch it live 2 weeks ago when Santelli's made his infamous rant on the floor of the stock exchange.

Santelli originally agreed to come on The Daily Show, but when the little birdie's in his ear told him that he probably shouldn't, he can canceled. Jon verbally eviscerated him, Jim Cramer, and CNBC on the following evening. I am used to seeing Jon and the writers be quick and smart, but it is a comedy show. It is almost easy to forget just how quick and smart Jon is. The first time I really and truly understood was when I saw him on Crossfire on CNN and he handed Tucker Carlson his ass.

Cramer came on the show and apparently understood the only way to handle this was to go belly up.



I really want to see Jon have Santelli and Rush Limbaugh on this show.

Okay. This guy is clever and adorable.
