Thought for the day

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who as the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt]

The Most Ignorant Jock In the US

This from Neal Boortz

" Now this particular gladiator is named Andrel Rolle.  He plays for the NY Giants, know what I'm sayin'?  Throughout his life Rolle has probably never had to develop anything beyond his athletic ability.  And educated guess would be that he has been given an academic pass from about age 12 through his graduation --- if he graduated from college at all from the University of Miami. "

"Sooo ... I understand the Giants aren't exactly having a stellar season. In fact, the Giants fans seem to be developing a penchant for booing the team.  On Tuesday Andrel decided to respond to the fans ... and made this statement to the media:"

"They want to make it that guys paid this much money for a ticket. Yeah, I understand that, I understand completely. We risk ourselves out there on the field each and every day also. When soldiers come home from Iraq you don't boo them. I look at it the same way. I take my job seriously."

House of Representatives to get Womens Bathroom

It was announced today that after the Republicans take control of the House of Representatives, a women's bathroom will be installed in an office just off the floor and across the hall from a men's room.  Up to now the female representatives had about a two minute walk to get to a restroom while the men had the convenient access.  Future Speaker of the House John Boehner's office announced today that this would be done immediately thus remedying a great injustice.

It is not true however that a special facility in this bathroom would be installed for the use of Representative Nancy Pelosi.

This is an amazing engineering feat.

A man walks into a bar and orders a triple scotch. 

As the bartender pours the drink, he remarks, "That's quite a heavy drink. What's the problem?"
 
After quickly downing his drink, the man replies, "I found my wife in bed with my best friend."
 
'Wow," says the barkeep. "What did you do about it?" 

"I walked over to my wife, looked her in the eye, told her to pack her stuff, and get the hell out."
 
"That makes sense," remarks the barkeep... "And, what about your best friend?"
 
"I looked him right in the eye and yelled, "Bad Dog"

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down

God's Gonna Cut You Down

Text from the video tribute:

Johnny Cash (born J. R. Cash; February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was a Grammy Award-winning American singer-songwriter and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Primarily a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll (especially early in his career), as well as blues, folk and gospel.

In 1997, Cash was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease Shy-Drager syndrome. The diagnosis was later altered to autonomic neuropathy associated with diabetes. This illness forced Cash to curtail his touring. He was hospitalized in 1998 with severe pneumonia, which damaged his lungs. The albums American III: Solitary Man (2000) and American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002) contained Cash’s response to his illness in the form of songs of a slightly more somber tone than the first two American albums. The video that was released for “Hurt”, a song by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, fit Cash’s view of his past and feelings of regret. The video for the song, from American IV, is now generally recognized as “his epitaph,” and received particular critical and popular acclaim.

June Carter Cash died on May 15, 2003, at the age of seventy-one. June had told Cash to keep working, so he continued to record and even performed a couple of surprise shows at the Carter Family Fold outside Bristol, Virginia. (The July 5, 2003 concert was his final public appearance.) At the June 21, 2003 concert, before singing “Ring of Fire”, Cash read a statement about his late wife that he had written shortly before taking the stage. He spoke of how June’s spirit was watching over him and how she had come to visit him before going on stage. He barely made it through the song. Despite his poor health, he spoke of looking forward to the day when he could walk again and toss his wheelchair into the river near his home.

Johnny Cash died less than four months after his wife, on September 12, 2003, while hospitalized at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. He was buried next to his wife in Hendersonville Memory Gardens near his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

On May 24, 2005, Vivian Liberto, Cash’s first wife and the mother of Rosanne Cash, and three other daughters, died from surgery to remove lung cancer. It was Rosanne Cash’s fiftieth birthday.

His stepdaughter, Rosie (Nix) Adams and another passenger were found dead on a bus in Montgomery County, Tennessee, on October 24, 2003. It was speculated that the deaths may have been caused by carbon monoxide from the lanterns in the bus. Adams was 45 when she died. She was buried in the Hendersonville Memorial Gardens, Hendersonville, Tennessee, near her mother and stepfather.

In June 2005, his lakeside home on Caudill Drive in Hendersonville, Tennessee, went up for sale by the Cash estate. In January 2006, the house was sold to Bee Gees vocalist Barry Gibb and wife Linda Gibb and titled in their Florida limited liability company for $2.3 million. The listing agent was Cash’s younger brother, Tommy Cash. The home was destroyed by fire on April 10, 2007.

One of Johnny Cash’s final collaborations with producer Rick Rubin, entitled American V: A Hundred Highways, was released posthumously on July 4, 2006. The album debuted in the #1 position on Billboard Magazines Top 200 album chart for the week ending July 22, 2006. Enough of Cash’s music was left to put together a posthumous album which he had helped plan. The album, American VI, is supposedly planned for release sometime in 2009.

Your Delivery of Delivery of Recursion Has Arrived

The Explanation

The wife  came home early and found her husband in their bedroom  making love to a very attractive young woman.
And she  was somewhat upset. ‘You are a disrespectful pig!’ she  cried. ‘How dare you do this to me — a faithful wife, the  mother of your children! I’m leaving you. I want a divorce  right away!’
And the husband replied, ‘Hang on just a  minute love so at least I can tell you what happened.’  ‘Fine, go ahead,’ she sobbed,’ but they’ll be the last words  you’ll say to me!’
And the husband began — ‘Well, I  was getting into the car to drive home, and this young lady  here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and  defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the  car.
I noticed that she was very thin, not well  dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn’t eaten  for three days.
So, in my compassion, I brought her  home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night,  the ones you wouldn’t eat because you’re afraid you’ll put  on weight. The poor thing devoured them in  moments.
Since she needed a good clean-up, I  suggested a shower, and while she was doing that, I noticed  her clothes were dirty and full of holes, so I threw them  away.
Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the  designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don’t  wear because you say they are too tight.
I also gave  her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which  you don’t wear because I don’t have good taste.
I  found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that  you don’t wear just to annoy her, and I also donated those  boots you bought at the expensive boutique and don’t wear  because someone at work has a pair the same.’
The  husband took a quick breath and continued – ‘She was so  grateful for my understanding and help that as I walked her  to the door, she turned to me with tears in her eyes and  said, ‘Please … Do you have anything else that your wife  doesn’t use?’
