Cuz I'm retired, and it's a snowy day,



we're watching movies, and we saw a GREAT one today.
Based on a true story, 'Woman in Gold' is off the chart fantastic. Oscar nominated, for a reason, Carol and I were both crying when it ended, BUT, in a good way, when we saw the true story of Nazi's stealing art work in WWII.

This morning's Denver Post

Had another good piece by Rick Tosches, who always makes me laugh, while getting out a good message. He starts out with,

Two gay men are walking down the street, holding hands, when a stunning woman strolls by. One of the gentlemen turns his head to gawk, looks her up and down as she passes and says to his partner, "You know, it's times like this I wish I was a lesbian." I was thinking of that joke — told to me by a lesbian — a few weeks back when my toes were digging into the warm white sand of a Florida beach alongside my wife, Doug.
Rick, (whose wife is actually named Susie), then tells how a Denver 'pastor', Ray Chavez, refused to have a funeral for a woman when he found out she was gay, and continues with,

Good article this morning in The Post,

that I totally agreed with, about millenials not voting. Some interesting facts were included:

As we know, the conservative electoral gains were a gift from older voters, who turned out in relatively high numbers.
Many of these folks spend their leisure hours marinating in the glow of Fox News Channel, where they are told what exemplary Americans they are and how younger people without jobs or savings are basically bums. The median age of the Fox News viewer is almost 69. For Bill O'Reilly's show, it is 72.

The fact that the FOXCrap audience is OLD, and not gonna be around much longer, gives me some hope for the future of our country, when I see how much of that generation is gullible, like my parents, thinking that 'if the govt, or the TV news says it, it must be true'.

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 Pri…
