"I'm a single woman with no children trying to pay my mortgage and grow my home-based business," she explained. "I was out there mowing one day and thought, 'Lord, what can I do to turn this grass into cash?' That's when I remembered that corn flake."
Reasons for her still being single are under investigation...
Getting to hear respected people in the media, like Jim Lehrer, have to repeatedly use the word "Popemobile."
Most everyone knows that I live in Georgia, and having a house in Cobb County, puts me in the heart of the conservative South. Working downtown at a pretty progressive company has disconnected me from the conservative landscape that is my hometown--that is until this weekend. With Super Tuesday approaching, I've gotten 5 calls over the past 3 days from the Mitt Romney attack squad, claiming how he was the true conservative out there. The first 4 calls repeatedly reminded me of how John McCain worked with Ted Kennedy (*gasp*) to pass legislation. There was also one call that had a completely out of context quote from Bubba, vaguely trying to connect McCain to being some unabashed liberal. This night's call from the Romney campaign was claiming how much Mike Huckabee loved to tax and spend, and how Mitt was the obviously the conservative choice.
Needless to say, these calls are all awesome, and as soon as I get a new mic for my computer, I'm going to record them and post 'em for your listening pleasure.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
You see a weather forecast that has a high of 91, and you can't wait for it to arrive, since it will be so cool outside...
For some reason, Putin looks bad-ass in this picture. I'd like to think that he has a piece or two concealed under his jacket, and is ready to kick ass and take names if some evil-doers come riding up to the Bush compound on jet skis. Hmmm, that sounds like a wicked movie concept...
It's funny how when certain words are linked together for so longer, they just sound wrong when things are switched out. Oh, and Gordon Brown sounds pretty darn boring on the radio...
Superbowl complaints courtesy of the Smoking Gun. Further proof that this country is filled to the brim with conservative prudes who can't get enough of violence on TV (you're watching football, where big hits are celebrated), but the moment that you hint at sex, all hell breaks lose. Oh, and don't even hint about gays, because they're just against everything good and right with the country. Yikes!
Especially disturbing is the complaint on the forth page, where the parent of 4 children thinks that their son is suddenly gay after viewing Prince silhouetted (notice how I use the proper spelling) in a masturbatory pose. Just goes to show that you don't have to be intelligent, responsible or open minded to be a parent.
Those girls that "robbed" the bank inside of a grocery store have been picked up by Douglas county police. I put the word robbed in quotes, because it looks like the teller was in cahoots. The full report is (as usual) at the Smoking Gun. The police report also includes drug charges--they had some weed on them. It looks like the girls and their boyfriends were out driving around when the cops busted them, and surprise surprise, they had some weed in the car, and the cops got to put bonus charges on them...
I'll keep you posted when the mugshots get posted. I'm sure they'll be sweet...
