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]

I Went On A Picnic Once

and never took these...


Love is Blind

This guy is Alvaro Alfonso de Miranda Neto:
Loveisblind1
He was married to  —  this woman.Love is blind2
Her name is Cibele Dorsa.
She is a Brazilian swimsuit, Victoria ‘s Secret, and Playboy model.
He divorced her because he fell in love with this woman:
Loveisblind3

Those two are very happily married right now.
Loveisblind4
Some people argue that love is blind.
This story clearly proves it…
It proves that men are capable of real love;
truly seeing a person’s inner beauty,
not basing their decisions solely on looks.

Oh, by the way…
The new girl is Athina Onassis.
She’s worth 12 billion dollars.
Kinda brings a tear to the eye, doesn’t it?

After St Pats


Maybe his name is Pete.

Obama Is On Top OF Things

Let's see what is happening these days.

     Libya freedom fighters are getting kicked around by Kaddayfi
     The Saudi's have invaded Bahrain to put down that revolution.
     Afghanistan is still a mess
     Thousands are dead and missing in Japan and their nuclear power industry is a mess
     Unemployment is over 10% nationwide, the deficit is a record % of GNP, and out debt is spiraling


But what is Prezbo doing these days.  Well on Saturday he broadcast a pre-recorded radio broadcast that was totally irrelevant and played 18 holes of golf.  Then yesterday he posted his NCAA bracket picks.

Now I feel better.

Irish Whisky

Two Irishmen, Patrick Murphy and Shawn O'Brian grew up together and were lifelong friends. But alas, Patrick developed cancer, and was dying. While on his deathbed, Patrick called to his buddy, Shawn, "O'Brian, come 'ere. I 'ave a request for ye." Shawn walked to his friend's bedside and kneels.

"Shawny ole boy, we've been friends all our lives, and now I'm leaving 'ere. I 'ave one last request fir ye to do."

O'Brian burst into tears, "Anything Patrick, anything ye wish. It's done."

"Well, under me bed is a box containing a bottle of the finest whiskey in all of Ireland. Bottled the year I was born it was. After I die, and they plant me in the ground, I want you to pour that fine whiskey over me grave so it might soak into me bones and I'll be able to enjoy it for all eternity."

O'Brian was overcome by the beauty and in the true Irish spirit of his friend's request, he asked, "Aye, tis a fine thing you ask of me, and I will pour the whiskey. But, might I strain it through me kidneys first?"

Happy St Pats Day From Kitty

Strange Staint Paddy Day Celebrations













Since the early 17th-century St. Patrick’s Day has been one of celebration. Each March, cities and towns pay tribute to the Emerald Isle – Chicago dyes its river a glowing green and New York City draws two million spectators to its parade. And as local customs meld with leprechauns, shamrocks and bagpipes, communities around the world are adding a new twist to traditional St. Patrick’s Day festivities.
1) Hot Springs, Arkansas
The world’s shortest St. Patrick’s Day parade may also be the quirkiest. Across the 98-foot-long Bridge Street, labeled in the 1940s as the “Shortest Street in the World” by Ripley’s Believe It or Not, march a cast of characters, including the Famous San Diego Chicken, Irish Elvis impersonators and the Lards of the Dance, a troupe of middle-aged Irish dancers. This year’s events also feature the world’s shortest wedding ceremony at under a minute, as well as the “Romancing the Stone” competition, in which the parade-goer with the most original kiss for an impromptu Blarney stone wins a $100 prize. Also making an appearance, Dr. Albert Habeeb, who at 95 years old is the self-proclaimed “World’s Oldest Leprechaun.”
“It's not devoted to a bunch of blarney about being Irish,” says Paul Johnson, spokesman for the six-year-old parade. “It’s devoted to having fun.”

P.E.T.A. and the Bear


Kiars Contest

A clergyman was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age. The group surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked, "What are you doing with that dog?"

One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."

Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why when I was your age, I never told a lie."

There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said,
"All right, give him the dog."

What One Must Believe To Be A Good Republican

  • Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a popular conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
  • The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
  • Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.
  • "Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs overseas.
  • A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
  • Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
  • The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
  • Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.
  • If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
  • A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.
  • HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.
  • Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is evil socialism.
  • Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
  • Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
  • A president lying about an extramarital affair is a impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
  • Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
  • The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.
  • You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.
  • What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
  • Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

  • You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
  • You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

  • You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
  • You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs.
  • You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.
  • You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
  • You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
  • You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.
  • You have to believe that self esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
  • You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion Of The Christ for financial gain only.
  • You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
  • You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
  • You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.
  • You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.
  • You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.
  • You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
  • You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.

  • You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese government is somehow in the best interest to the United States.
  • You have to believe that the posting of this list is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.
