ANOTHER COMMERCIAL RANT
Yes, I have touched upon this subject before - but it is a never-ending supply of material (no, not G.W. this time). The subject is commercials. Some commercials just bug the crap out of me. Especially the toilet paper commercial featuring the mommy and baby bears. 
By the by, who on earth calls this stuff “bath tissue?” Have you ever sat on the commode and lamented the fact that someone forgot to put a new roll of “bath tissue” on the spindle? Heck no - you think, “What lazy so-and-so didn’t replace the TOILET PAPER?” That’s what we call it Corporate America - TOILET PAPER!!
Anyway, back to the bears. Seems junior has just finished his bearly duty (yep, apparently they do do it in the woods, folks) and his mother is chasing him around with a broom to remove the “bath tissue” debris left on (or in?) his little bear tushy. I don’t care if you use the cutest animated creatures ever created (these bears are not), I don’t want to think about where toilet paper might get stuck. How does this stuff differ from regular toilet paper, anyway? Is it made of Teflon? I am sorry, but I find this to be totally repulsive. I never thought I would say this, but, please BRING BACK MR. WHIPPLE!!

BUSH LEAGUE
Ok, ok, ok, I know - but it’s just sooo easy! Yes, once again, our fearless leader is the subject of today’s blog. The man just doesn’t realize how funny he is. You know come January, 2009, there will be a lot less humor in Washington.
Without further adieu, more irresistible Bush quotes:

FUNNY FAMILY TALES
Every family has time-honored humorous stories - and mine is no different. I am going to take this opportunity to share a couple with you.
When my daughter was three and a half years old, we were perusing our rock garden one early spring day. My daughter pointed to two flowers that were blooming and asked […]
MUTTON STEW FOR THE SOUL
I am more than a little fed up with all the sweetness and light crap with which we are bombarded day in and day out. I have been trying to put goodness out in the universe for months now, to no avail.
I need to be de-Oprahed and get back to being my normal, […]
COMMERCIAL RANT
We have become inundated with commercials on television about medications. I am tired of them and find many to be downright stupid. Let me give you an example:
E. D. Commercial:
There is a commercial dealing with a condition that most commonly affects men of a certain age. In the ad, we see a middle-aged couple playfully […]
GARDENING - FANTASY VS. REALITY
Every year, at the first hint of spring, I begin to fantasize that this will be the year that I discover the joy in gardening. I picture many scenarios, none of which ever seem to come to fruition. Please join my on the journey…
A DAY IN APRIL
FANTASY: It’s early spring - and the earth […]
YOU CAN’T HELP BUT LAUGH…
I know it is cruel to laugh at others’ misfortunes, but sometimes you just can’t help yourself! A commonly used ploy in comedy is the pratfall. It is funny when people fall down as long as they’re not hurt (I’m not cruel enough to wish people ill).
The comedic value is enhanced (at least […]
THE POLYGAMIST FASHIONISTAS
I’m not really sure how I feel about polygamy. If you were to ask my husband, I feel certain he would allow as how one wife is plenty, and that sometimes one seems like too many! Polygamy is an alternate lifestyle, one for which I wouldn’t be suited.
Oh sure, there are distinct advantages […]
A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE CARLIN
On June 22, 2008, the world lost one of its brightest and most innovative comedians - George Carlin. He started doing stand-up in the late 1950’s and became well-known in the 1960’s for his routines such as Al Sleet the “Hippy Dippy Weatherman.” His “Seven Dirty Words” routine was considered to be one […]
WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS TO AN INNOCENT BABY?
Some may think that celebrities are the only ones to give their babies weird names. Why anyone in her right mind would name her daughter Apple is beyond me. Now Banana is an appealing (pun intended) name, but Apple?
It seems that the Hollywood types are not the only ones who have stuck their offspring […]
