Opeing Stuff:
I don’t know Kayla Mueller. But I like her smile. I
like the way she thinks about kindness. I like the way she doesn’t let
obstacles get in her way. I like her optimism and her inner strength. When I
was a kid I thought all Americans were like Kayla Mueller. I feel sad for her parents.
She must have been a wonderful daughter. I feel sorry for all of the people she
might have helped and now won’t feel her warmth. I wish I were a kid a again,
and the world was like it should be.
Isn’t it interesting that on the day Brian
Williams is suspended for 6 months, Jon Stewart retires from his made up news
The Daily Show? Maybe NBC will…nah, NBC wouldn’t put on fake news.
I think we all have to be aware that no matter what we do,
somebody isn’t going to like the way we do it. Learning to roll with the
punches is a wonderful thing.
The Question:
He Grammies
had a segment about domestic violence. Name five songs that encourage women to
fight back.
The Headlines:

Health
has become so expensive that I’m thinking of just limping along and faking it.
I see where Former “O” Chief
advisor Axelrod in his memoire says that the Prez feigned his support of traditional
marriages and against Same Sex marriage for votes. Horrors, a president would
stretch the truth to persuade citizens at election time? Maybe he should be
suspended for six months.
Did you see where Jeb Bush
and Sarah Palin have the same Birthday (he’s 62 and she’s 51)? They could run as a ticket
promising the beginning of reduced government spending -- for starters one birthday cake.
For some good old fashioned
college basketball tonight we have the RI against Philly’s Big 5. Yes the venerable,
wonderful Philadelphia college basket ball fivesome sends well coached St,
Joseph and #6 Villanova against 2 of RI’s foursome -- a couple of top 30 teams
from the small state – URhode island and Providence College. Every US city
should have a Big Five like Philadelphia.
I brings the game back home a little, away from the industry it has become. The
kids seem to like the sense of community.
At the Grammies, a fervent plea was made in behalf of the many women
unfortunately trapped in abusive relationships. The thought of this abuse tears
me apart, and I applaud all efforts to end the horror and the violence. My
immediate thought was that the music industry should look within, at their
lyrics, at the he images of irresponsibility they often display. But, my guess
is they will probably write a song about it.
An avowed atheist Craig
Hicks
killed three Muslims at the U NC campus in Chapel Hill. Some are saying that Hicks
blamed all of the world ills on radical Christians and Muslims, and that he
killed the two women and a man because of that. In fact, it appears to have
been a dispute over a parking place. But he shouters fo=don’t want that explanation,
so it will evolve into a religious war. It may have started as a discussion over
a parking place, but once the atheist looked into those Middle Eastern eyes, he
may have ignited his own feelings of hatred.
The annoying new world goals,
Department:
A
young girl about to start a job at a Pizza place Tweeted, , ”Ew I start this
F***A** Job tomorrow.” Followed by emojis depicting 7 thumbs down. The Twitter
message found its way via an employee to the owner of this medium sized Texas chain,
He immediately Tweeted, “No you don’t start that FA job today. I just fired
you! Good luck with you no money, no job life”. The girl named Cella was
elated, proudly telling all friends with much glee that she just got fired on
twitter! She’s on her way to becoming the next Kardashian.
They waited till today to pull the plug on Bobbi
Kristina Brown so she could die on the same day as her mother, Whitney Houston.
Well, I guess that’s something.
The Answer:
#1
is “18 Wheeler” by Pink. Next we have “Behind the Wall”, Tracy Chapman; “Fighter”,
Christina Aguilera (Her mother an she as a child both abused. She always
includes a fight song in every album); “Goodbye Earl”, Dixie Chicks; “I will
survive”, Gloria Gaynor, “Independence Day”, Martina McBride; “Luka”, Suzanne
Vega; King of Anything, Sara Bareilles; Respect, Aretha Franklin and “Sisters
are doing it for themselves”, Annie Lennox and Aretha.
“Barring Enduring Offensive
Ground Combat Operations” sounds to me like a ban against fighting too hard. ISIS should
like that.
Just a couple of days remaining to get your Valentine’s Day
gift. Love is a great thing, so let’s put some thought into this. I’m thinking
of dying Cheetos red.
I like Martina McBride, so I finished off the Tids
listening to Independence Day”
But,
you can pick your own favorite of those ten, here:
