It’s a sure sign of spring when the baby lambs are born. I love watching little lambs hop and run. It is always amusing to me that the mother sheep look a little irritated at their jubliance. A head butt hear and there keeps the baby sheep in line.
These sheep live near my house. If you have sheep nearby, go look to see if the spring lambs have been born!!!
When speaking of politicians, I usually reserve the term “moron” exclusively for Joe Biden and his debilitating case of foot-in-mouth disease. However, Obama really blew it in tonight’s debate, showing just how unqualified and dangerous a presidential pick he is. But, being a woman of principle, I won’t be awarding any moron points tonight. Instead, I’m just hitting the highlights here of Obama’s most underwhelming moments.
Question: What sacrifices will you ask Americans to make? Obama starts talking about energy (read: dodging the question) before offering some Marxist rhetoric and finally concluding that he will expand the Peace Corps. Obama’s asking us to support another big government program. I’m shocked! For the record, McCain talked about asking Americans to give up programs that aren’t working. Hmm…I can think of quite a few of those, can’t you?
Obama -Most small businesses don’t earn more than $250,000. I’m still in shock over this statement.
Brokaw -”I’m just the hired help.” The most intelligent think Brokaw said all night! Yes. You ARE the hired help, Brokaw! You were hired to moderate the debate. YOUR OPINION DOESN’T MATTER. Get over it, you relic of the crumbling elitist MSM!
Question: How do you reorganize the US Strategy in Afghanistan? Obama – Says he’s going to make the Iraqi government take responsibility—Impressive! But HOW? How do you “make” the Iraqi’s do anyhing? I’m dying to know…
Obama – “Nobody called for the invasion of Pakistan.” Let’s review…
From The Washington Post:
“When I am president, we will wage the war that has to be won. The first step must be to get off the wrong battlefield in Iraq and take the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/01/AR2007080101233.html
Hmmm…that sounds a little bit like an invasion to me. It must’ve to the Pakistani’s, too…maybe that’s why the immediately protested.

The rest of the debate was just too boring and lame for me to waste any more of my time commenting on it. If you haven’t made the comparison yet between a man who has spent his entire life in service to his country, both as a war hero and as a Senator, and another man who did whoever knows what as a “community organizer” while maintaining friendships with his black supremacist pastor along with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers…well, nothing I say here will persuade you any differently.
With that, I wish you a good night, until the next debate!
In honor of the Vice Presidential debates tonight, I thought I’d post the clip of VP-hopeful Joe Biden claiming FDR got on television to address the nation when the stock market crashed. Only problem is, who was President in 1929 when the crash occurred? HERBERT HOOVER. And if that isn’t bad enough, when did the TV appear? Not for another 10 YEARS. Moron Points for Biden: 2
The best part is, Biden is talking about how important it is that a leader to be able to “instill confidence and demonstrate that he or she knows what they’re talking about.” I think he just clearly demonstrated that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Moron Points Biden: 3
Here’s my question: HOW did Couric not correct him? My conclusion: she wasn’t even aware of the errors! When I think of FDR, I think of his “Fireside Chats,” which were RADIO addresses. If Couric had half a brain she’d have remembered those too (really, you’d expect a journalist to know a little communications history!) Moron Points Couric: 1.
Yep, looks like Biden is the Ultimate Moron in this scenario, beating out Katie Couric by 2 Moron Points.
If Sarah Palin made a slip like that, don’t you think it would’ve been all over every news network in the nation? But there’s no liberal media bias in this country…
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with running. As in, sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it, and sometimes I love to hate it.
From my early teens through college, I usually jogged at least a few days a week for most of the year to keep in shape. But, as often happens, I gradually got out of the habit of running, and soon found myself taking only the occasional jog.
I began to think my running days were over. Perhaps it was for the best, I thought. After all, running is really terrible on the joints, and bad backs do run in my family. And I’ve always had that sensitive achilles tendon–I can never seem to really run the distance when it flares up.
But then, it happened.
I started to think about running again. What would it be like to put back on my running shoes, to head out the door and leave the troubles of the day behind me in a trail of dust and sweat? What would it be like to be in shape again? To “run and not grow weary”?
Like an ex-boyfriend, I started to miss it. Started to remember the way things were, when I was a runner.
I started talking to runners. I snuck a peek at a training schedule for a half marathon. Would I–could I ever do something like that?
It was last week that it got the best of me. I headed out for a walk in the blistering heat. I’d walk through the grove near our house, I told myself. It would be nice and shady in there. No need to over exert myself in this heat. And then, it happened. Glancing at my unsuspecting walking partner, my husband, I innocently asked, “What if we ran every other block? You know, just until we get tired.” And we did. And it felt good.
Then today, it happened again. It was after dinner, not the time I usually like to run. It was still hot and the air was thick outside. But still, I couldn’t resist. I laced up my runners and headed out into the twilight. Yes, I walked a few blocks when I needed it. But for one glorious half hour, I was running again. I ran to the edge of our neighborhood, which backs up to a giant field. I was greeted by the most beautiful sight: on the horizon, a beautiful pink sky was melting into a blood red glow. I stopped for a moment to admire the beauty all around me. This is what we were meant to do, I thought.
I still haven’t decided if I’ll officially return to running. It’s not one of those activities I like to dabble in half-heartedly. It’s all or nothing. But it’s OK. I’m not rushing a decision at this point. The way things have been going, I have a feeling we’ll figure it out, running and me, whether we are meant to be together or not.
Barack Obama says our children should learn to speak Spanish. I’ll talk more about that later, but first, can anyone out there provide an answer with a credible soure to the question “Does Obama himself speak Spanish?” I’d also be interested in whether or not his children speak Spanish, but I realize that is more difficult to determine. Also, by speaking Spanish, I don’t mean give me an example of a time he’s read a few Spanish words or phrases from a teleprompter. I mean: can we determine with certainty whether he has studied the language himself or ever spoken it on at least a conversational level. Let’s find out, people!
