post turtleA little country humor for my conservative friends. Or not – courtesy of Barry Thomas, a friend from the corn fields of Illinois, who did explain things like this to me years ago.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. The topic eventually got around to Obama and his success in getting elected as president.

The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘Post Turtle’.”

Who are these really odd, out-of-place people?

November 13, 2008

They are the people songs are sometimes written about. They are often the most important people in the world when we want to tell someone about a success; they listen to us when we just got shot down and suffer a defeat and just need to talk with someone; and they are the people we call first when life seemingly crumbles around us.

These people, known by a simple seven-letter word, are often our best allies in the world; at other times, you wonder about their loyalty, especially when they tell you something about yourself that you don’t want to hear; but through it all, they are often closer than a brother or sister. They are the people who help us make it through some of life’s gloomiest days, and they are often our only cheerleaders.

‘Twas the Night Before Elections

November 3, 2008

Weird Al Yankovic could come out with some real works of art in creating parodies of songs. In this case, the author of the poem below is unknown, but it’s a great example of what someone with a little creativity can do, especially when committed to a cause, such as getting out the vote.

Remember, tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4, 2008, is election day in the United States. Be sure to go to your designated polling place and cast your vote in the 2008 Presidential election. If you’re really wise, you’re review a copy of the ballot you will see when you step into the voting booth sometime before you step into the voting booth.

Top 10 things on Cole Hamels’ mind after winning the 2008 World Series

DA66 is a great guy who has at least one really interesting hobby. It’s tied to his employer, so I won’t go into it, but he’s a new dad — for the second time — so I am trying to give him his 15 minutes of fame.

Here are the top 10 things that went through Cole’s mind after winning the World Series. Looking at the list, nothing about being in the parade today, celebrating the Phillies’ win is on the list. The parade, which was supposed to start at noon today, and go from Philadelphia’s City Hall to Citizens Bank Park, was supposed to last about 90 minutes.
