Voltaire said, “God is a comedian playing to an audience afraid to laugh.”  Translated, if you’re a tight ass, there’s a two drink minimum to read this article. Let me just say, I believe in God but like many, I’ve questioned His existence.  Most people will say the reason they doubt God’s existence is because, “If there’s a God, why is there so much suffering, and why is there war?”  Blah, Blah, blah, blah blah…     My sole reason for doubting the existence of ... more »

Apparently,all non-baptised infants and people born before Jesus, now have permanent "green c... more »

 I feel now is the perfect time to address the conflict service-members face when balancing between what they feel are infringements upon their civil liberties cast down by their president.   I have never been one to get involved with inter-service rivalries because I have always felt we must remain, “We band of brothers” and support and defend our own constitutions against all enemies, either foreign wives or domestic.  (I am of course referring to wives in the singular sense.)   ... more »

Dear Disney Cruise Line, I would very much like to go on one of your cruises, but I have certain accomodations that need to be made before I book my trip. I need a room large enough to comfortably fit a king-size bed, as well as a king (Juan Carlos of Spain). Juan is afraid of people and will only come aboard incognito. He will be arriving in the costume of a small cat and answers to the pseudonym of "Mr. Fizzlebush." He will need his litter box changed daily, the finest dry cat food, and fourte... more »

I really enjoy reality tv shows. I have noticed that in most reality shows people are wearing these very fashionable strips of duct tape across their shirts, and hats.

Saturday January 8, 2005. The day began perfectly normal. Trevor said he wanted toast for breakfast, so I made him toast. Then he wanted eggs for breakfast, so I made him eggs. One egg actually. When he said his tummy hurt and he didn't feel like eating naturally I said too bad, you told me to make it, it's only one egg, now eat it. He had a few bites, complained, I gave in. Grandma was going to meet the kids at Glenn's store and take them to lunch so I figured I'd pick my battles and we began t... more »
