Jasper and the Unbaked Thanksgiving Yeast Rolls

This is the tale of Jasper and the Unbaked Yeast Rolls: (author unknown) We have a fox terrier by the name of Jasper. He came to us in the summer of 2001 from the fox terrier rescue program. For those of you, who are unfamiliar with this type of adoption, imagine taking in a 10 year old child about whom you know nothing and committing to doing your best to be a good parent. Like a child, the dog came with his own idiosyncrasies. He will only sleep on the bed, on top of the covers, nuzzled as close to my face as he can get without actually performing a French kiss on me. Lest you think this is a bad case of 'no discipline,' I should tell you that Perry and I tried every means to break him of this habit including locking him in a separate bedroom for several nights. The new door cost over $200. But I digress. Five weeks ago we began remodeling our house. Although the cost of the project is downright obnoxious, it was 20 years overdue AND it got me out of cooking Thanksgiving for ...

White Guilt is Dead

WOW - This guy says it all. Read on: WHITE GUILT IS DEAD Friday, November 7th, 2008 By Tom Adkins Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I'm virtually euphoric. Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with America 's flirtation with neo socialism. But there's a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barak Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America : The Era of White Guilt is over. This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn't give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hatingdomestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet th...

For Our Veterans of WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War

The elderly parking lot attendant wasn't in a good mood. And neither was Sam Bierstock. It was around 1 a.m., and Bierstock, a Florida eye doctor, business consultant, corporate speaker and musician, was bone tired after appearing at an event. He pulled up in his car, and the parking attendant began to speak. "I took two bullets for this country and look what I'm doing," he said bitterly. At first, Bierstock didn't know what to say to the World War II veteran. But he rolled down his window and told the man, "Really, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you." Then the old soldier began to cry. "That really got to me," Bierstock says. Cut to today. Bierstock, now 59, and John Melnick, 55, of Pompano Beach - a member of Bierstock's band, Dr. Sam and the Managed Care Band - have written a song inspired by that old soldier in the airport parking lot. "Before You Go" does more than salute those who fought in WWII. It encourages ...

Life Goes On... I Think

The election is well over now, and I am among those licking my wounds. Majority Rules, and apparently I wasn't in the majority, or at least not in the voting majority. I will certainly be praying for our new President-Elect, not because I think he's some Great Hope, but because he is so completely unprepared and inexperienced for this job that I am afraid he will bollux our poor country. My only consolation is that our country survived the likes of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton... maybe we can survive Obama too. My greatest fear is for our allies, Israel especially. They are our only real ally in the middle east, and now they can kiss goodbye any assistance from Mr. Obama; Hamas poured so much money and support into Obama's campaign you'd think he was running for the leadership of the P.L.O. and they were sponsoring him. But I digress. We lost. I concede.
