"I love your Christ but I don't much care for your Christians".

( No Cheating Now!  If no one knows it, I'll give you the answer tomorrow!  It is one of my favorite quotes.)

Just My Opinion:

I just did two separate posts but on the same subject--one here and one on Blogster--about how Evolutionists believe that they are smarter than Creationists and actually look down on and make fun of Creationists.  The whole time I was doing those posts I could not help but compare in my mind The attitude of Evolutionists with the Far Right's mentality.  And, believe me, I use the term "mentality" lightly, because I am not sure the Right Wingers have any--mentality, that is. 

Never have I known a group  more delusional than these people. They honestly believe that they are the only ones who really understand what is going on,  and that the rest of us are just a bunch of liberal, blind puppets being led straight down the road to a complete world takeover. by a black 'nappy-haired' egotist 

They honestly believe their brand of bias, hatred, bigotry, and militancy is what our Constitution represents and what the "true American" should be.

Of course, they also avow that Fox News and Glenn Beck are the only reliable and truthful news programs on televison.  One even went so far as to tell me that without Glenn Beck keeping them informed, they wouldn't know what was going on.

Don't these people ever READ????

Thank goodness the other 90% of us are a lot smarter than they think we are. Have they forgotten the eight years of misery under Bush? And they criticize Obama because he cannot wave a magic wand and fix everything. I suggest that with a bit more support from the Republicans he could fix a heck of a lot more.

Today's Funny:

Three old men were sitting around talking about who had the worst health problems. The seventy-year-old said, "Have I got a problem. Every morning I get up at 7:30 and have to take a piss, but I have to stand at the toilet for an hour 'cause my pee barely trickles out." 

"Heck, that's nothing, " said the eighty year old. "Every morning at 8:30 I have to take a shit, but I have to sit on the can for hours because of my constipation. It's terrible". 

The ninety-year-old said, "You guys think you have problems! Every morning at 7:30 I piss like a racehorse, and at 8:30 I shit like a pig. The trouble with me is, I don't wake up till eleven."

Thought for Today:

"It was naive of the 20th century optimists to expect paradise from technology — and it is equally naive of the 21st century pessimists to make technology the scapegoat for such old shortcomings as man's blindness, cruelty, immaturity, greed and sinful pride."

— Peter F. Drucker, Austrian-born American business management consultant (1909-2005).

Today In Soonerland:

Remember my post a couple of weeks ago about my day from "hell" dealing with the IRS?  Well, I have good news and bad news!  The good news is that I received a letter from them today; the bad news is that they have no record that I ever responded to their first inquiry...

this after I faxed them every piece of paper they wanted, stayed on the line with them to be sure they had all my pertinent information , called back the next day to verify they had received all the pages I had faxed,was assured that they had received it and everything was now "hunky-dory!"

If I could get my hands on just one of those idiots right now, I do believe I would kill him/her.  Now, I am going to probably have to spend another day from hell on the phone with them and re-fax everything.  I could just scream!!  And I very well may when I call them back tomorrow.
