Mom.

Saturday Shorts
Opening Stuff

No matter how old you get; No matter how much you think you know everything; A mom will always be there for laughter, for insight, for a comforting hand through the darkest days…and a pat on the back for the triumphs. Moms are an amazing little fact of life.

You have to wonder what penguins wear on casual Fridays.

Maybe the Muslims have a point about cartoonists. The smug down at the Comedy Channel have on the drawing board a new show named JC. Yes that JC. Apparently the Son of God who came to earth to give his life for all mankind will be portrayed as an average guy moving to NYC to get out from under dad’s shadow. And we will see “Dad” as an apathetic man playing video games. Beware of the chortlers.

Back to Saturday Stuff:

It seems to me that the only purpose for too many TV shows is to rationalize bad behavior.

In an honest world, the Tea Party movement should be renamed the Gaspee Party! The Gaspee was a British ship burned to the waterline in protest of high taxes by Rhode Island patriots 10 years before the tea party.

Even with the failed NYC bomb attempt, the terrorist got what he wanted – fear!

Speaking of fear, the biggest challenge for the stock markets is to keep recently returned average investors from running away and hiding again. Regardless of how upset some may be by the millions made by amoral psychopathic slugs who capitalize for themselves on other’s misery, staying with the market is still the best remedy for stability.

Let’s hope the floods haven’t destroyed too many of the memories that are part of the tradition at the Grand Ole’ Opry. Bad music may come and bad music may go, but the Opry and the good country music that surrounds it will always be there to provide some sense of sanity remains in the world.

A warning to the world: Don’t encourage Lady Gaga.

On chortling: I often use the word chortle to describe those one dimensional megalomaniacs who love to make outrageous comments about things precious to most loving people and then soften their rhetoric with a snorting chuckle. These are among the most dangerous people on earth. Closet atheists and insecure celebrities looking for substance are the most adept at the chortle.

And I mean it!...for a day – Department:
On Wednesday Bill O’Reilly agreed with Dennis Miller that 0-Man told a very funny joke about launching drones against young boys who looks askance at his daughters and the Fix duo condemned liberals who took offense at the joke. People have to be less thin skinned, they both affirmed. On Thursday O’Reilly agreed with a couple of Fox blonds that Elizabeth Haselbeck’s humorous remarks about ABC Stalkee Erin Andrews were out of line and she should be careful about what she says.

I can say anything I want because Mom said it was Okay.
