Who knew?

Just found out yesterday, from an aquaintance who gets all his news from FOX, a "fact" that I had missed. That surprised me, because I make a real effort to keep up with the news. Not that I'm proud of it, but I just realized my daily routine includes: Waking up to TV news, my "Fav" button takes me from ABC, to CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and FOX, who has some 'interesting' views. I then read the Rocky Mntn News, pretty thoroughly, before going to my laptop, where I check out the New York Times on-line, then it's on to AOL news, then my favorite source of all, MSN news. There is a lot of duplication, and I obviously don't read it ALL, but I get a very comprehensive slice of 'what's going on', each day. I find most newspaper stories come from on-line news of the day before. I consider myself pretty well informed, as I am a voracious reader and have the time to pursue my addiction to "The News". That's why I was surprised when my aquaintance laughed when someone mentioned global warming. "Didn't you know", he said, "That ALL the planets are rapidly warming, not just earth? It has been scientifically proven, it's not man causing global warming, the SUN is getting hotter." WOW, the stuff I miss by not watching/listening to FOX News, exclusively, like the true disciples of O'Reilly and Limbaugh. One thing I did learn from this Sunday's paper, in an article by Garrison Keillor, was, that there is an 85% correllation between Americans who don't know how long it takes for the earth to make one revolution around the sun and Bush supporters. SURPRISE! Where did you think his support came from, educated people????

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
