Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones, But A Sharp Stick In Your Eye Will Hurt Worse !

I get frustrated when I hear people misuse the English language, especially politicians and the media. I do not profess to be a scholar, but by the same token, I did graduate the ninth grade. That's really all I expect from most people, the ability to communicate on at least a ninth grade level.

My number one favorite dumb ass is President Georgie, whose most favorite thing to do is embarrass me and most of the United States by saying "nuke-yoo-lar" (nuclear, for the hard of understanding). What makes it even more irritating to me, is the fact that his advisors must have said to him, "Prez, you're mispronouncing the word".

The words real-a-tor (realtor), jew-loo-ry (jewelry) and ath-a-lete (athlete) are so commonly mispronounced that it makes me want to stick a pencil in my ear.

I can't tell you the number of times that one of the holier-than-thou media types have referred to a court case and eloquently stated that the charges were "squashed". I then find myself yelling at the TV set, "It's quashed, Einstein ! Bugs get squashed, charges get quashed". This is normally about the time that Shithead (my cat) comes out of the bedroom and says, "What's the matter, Jimmy, did they say "squashed" again?"

Then, we come to "Podium Al" Sharpton, the obnoxious, fire-fueling, dimwit, who can take any innocent statement by anyone and run it up the proverbial racial flagpole, ostensibly in the name of justice, but practically for the sake of the almighty spotlight and the monies derived from same. At the same time, he (unknowingly, I assume) embarrasses himself with statements like, "Now I "axe" you, would dese people be doing dat widout malice?"

It's About Time: Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro has finally stepped down, ending an almost 50 year stint as the Cuban president. Of course, nepotism prevails and brother, Raul will take over as the new leader of Cuba. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your beard, Fidel !

From The Who Cares Department - Lindsay Lohan posed nude for the New York magazine, ostensibly to recreate and honor(?) the photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe's six weeks before her death. I've seen the unedited photos of both she and Marilyn and she can't hold a candle to Marilyn Monroe. Britney Spears let her cat out of the bag again getting out of her car yesterday while entering Sushi House Unico in Los Angeles. So much for her "recovery". See both edited photos in The Pictures.

The Pictures: I found some shopping bags that I thought may be of interest to you. I also found a picture of Britney Spears who, now that she has recovered, made it a point to get back in the swing of things by returning to her car exiting trick allowing everone to know that her kitty cat is still in good health. Lindsay Lohan "honored" the late Marilyn Monroe by recreating Monroe's nude photos taken six weeks before her untimely death. Both pictures have been edited.

Some of my more interesting pic's are displayed today, more specifically the seahorses and a few more from my menagerie.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: My pal, Beverly, sent me the following joke.

A husband in his back yard is trying to fly a kite. He throws the kite up into the air only to see the wind catch it for a few seconds and crash back to earth. He tries this a few more times with the same results.

All the while, his wife is watching him from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything.

Finally, she opens the window and yells to her husband, "You need a piece of tail".

The man turns with a confused look on his face and says, "Make up your mind. Last night you told me to go fly a kite."

A father told his son that he needed to get a haircut or he would not be able to use the family car for his date on Saturday.

The son said, "Dad, I've been reading the bible lately and did you know that Sampson had long hair, Moses had long hair and even Jesus had long hair."

His father replied, 'That's right, my son and did you notice that all three were walking?" 

That's it for today my little rosebuds. More tomorrow.
