To Help You Get Through Hump-Day

Groovy Dancing Girl

As an aside, she appears to be a ginger. Is this what gingers do when they are bored?

UPDATE:

This song and video are addictive. Much like potato chips and gingers I imagine, once you have one you just can’t stop.

One Day

Posted by TRO on April 30, 2008

One day,
long, long ago…….

there lived a woman who did not whine, nag or
bitch.

But this was a long time ago…….

and it was just
that one day.

The End

Hat-tip to my friend Chuck.

I Don’t Think That Word Means What You Think It Means

Posted by TRO on April 30, 2008

Obama Then: “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.”

Obama Now: “They [Wright's remarks] offend me, they rightly offend all Americans and they should be denounced, and that’s what I am doing very clearly and unequivocally here today.”

It appears to me that the only “change” here is the amazing way Wright magically changed during the past few weeks compared to how he was for those 20 years Obama was attending his church. And it appears the only “hope” here is Obama’s hope that Wright will shut the hell up and fade into obscurity.

Hope and Change - I don’t think those words mean what we think they mean.
