Perhaps the perky, Pulitzer Prize winning Katie Couric had her greatest moment when she seemed to stump Sarah Palin when she inquired about what the former Alaska governor reads. Months later Palin spun it that she was rather perturbed at Couric’s sophomoric [my description] question and not caught off balance. Only she knows for sure.
After extensive research we at GMZ have discovered what magazines celebrities read. No laws were broken by GMZ in obtaining this information:
Round one gave us around thirty inches and was followed shortly by another twelve from round two. One more day with snow and February will break the record for snowiest February of all times. The record is predicted to be broken tomorrow after a week-long respite with above freezing temperatures and dry roads for commuting.
A unique thing that I noticed during the recent deep freeze and mountains of snow was how many houses started gardens on their roofs. Icicle’s were springing up all over town and hanging from gutters. It became almost a daily chore for me to knock the new sprouts from the edge of my roof only to have them grow back the next day.
One of the most common pieces of advice that you will ever hear is;
“Don’t sweat the small stuff!”
I am in my third week of a new job and the stress is often quite high. The stress is higher because it is actually a new career since it is quite different than my previous jobs and I entered the company at a high level. Expectations (both mine and the owner’s) are rather high. The break in period lasted about three hours. I still have not finished reading the company manual and started doing payroll before I got my first paycheck.
I guess that it is tradition to end the previous year and start a new year with some wishes or resolutions for the future. As we move into the second decade of the 21st century I have a few of my own…hopefully for your enjoyment:
My first wish is for the lame stream media to start to enjoy the fact that they were successful in getting their man elected to the White House. It has been almost a year so it is time for them to give up the ghost of the George W. Bush presidency and myths that they like to promote such as the 2000 election was stolen, Cheney was really in charge, and that Bush was both stupid and fiendishly cunning.
One of the hobbies we enjoy in our house is a little unusual as we sometimes like to decorate cakes. Recently John Mayer held a contest for his fans to decorate cakes and send in photographs for a chance to win prizes. Our family accepted this challenge with our day after Christmas themed cake titled; Dec 26. I took time lapsed photos as we made a cake featuring famous Christmas characters vacationing after the big day and put together a video for your enjoyment. I have also included some shots of the cake after the video.
Emboldened by the folks who released the data and e-mails creating the Climategate scandal (except for the United States) someone has accessed White House computers and has found President Barack Obama’s Christmas List. Rumor is that Obama is still a Christian even thought he had to be guilted into putting up the White House nativity scene. The list was partially released to The Garlic web site who leaked only one of the items on his list.
Based on recent Rasmussen presidential polls, most Americans are thinking he is more naughy than nice so the jury is still out on whether he will get this gift.
I sent this cell phone photograph to my son from BB&B in a failed attempt to have him rescue me last night. He "claimed" to have to study for one of his college finals. I had to spend an additional fifteen minutes in the store.
Few words strike fear in me like when my wife says “let’s go to the mall shopping for a little while.” I really love my wife (please note that I don’t really have to say this as she does not read my postings) and acquiesced even though the mall is torture to me. The level of torture is proportional to the number of related females in the shopping party.
This ”endangerment” finding by the Environmental Protection Agency could pave the way for the government to require sources that emit carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases to take measures to reduce emissions regardless of whether the legislature passes the unpopular cap and trade legislation.
Earlier this week I celebrated the first anniversary of Framing The Dialogue and today I celebrate a more dubious feat. Wordpress offers a plugin called Akismet that filters your comments and “spams” them. While I do look at the Spam before deleting them they are much easier to manage through the Akismet. This will sound like a commercial, but if you blog and do not use Akismet, you are nuts!
Leaders from around the world are flying their private jets to Copenhagen this week to attend a summit to develop a framework for global governance predicated on man made global warming or climate change. With this meeting as a backdrop, the United States
