There is no greater friend than a dog. Yes, I love my cats too. And, I loved my horses. But, my dogs? They just walk into my heart, and they are forever there. I can still feel the fur and the wet nose of my shepherd Biff who died 30 years ago. I can still recall the "smile" of my black lab Bruno who made me laugh with his silly antics, even into his old age. He died 12 years ago. Throughout my life, my dogs...my friends... have left permanent paw prints on my soul. My current two best friends keep me sane in an insane world. Dogs adore us. They absolutely adore and love us. We owe them the same in return. Hug your dog today, and remember all of the dogs serving in the military and law enforcement around the world.

I wouldn't leave my house without my firearm. I can't imagine why anybody would these days. Sure, I may still end up being a victim of a crime one day, but it won't be because I had no means to defend myself.

Here's an idea. Wanna keep these girly men out of the women's restroom? File multiple complaints about sexual harassment from men showing their private parts to women in the restroom. I'd be the first to do so, even if I had not seen anything. It's called lying. Prove me a liar. Enough of these complaints, and the men/women/things would be using the appropriate restroom soon enough. Talk about a War on Women. Forcing women to share their private space with a man who doesn't know what he is.... pretty sick.

The Bushes will be respectful and adult. They will graciously thank the Obamas and have nothing but good things to say. Having class is never a forced action. It just happens naturally. The current occupants of the White House are takers, not givers. We all know it, so just ignore them. They are like Section 8 housing recipients who drive around with "spinners" on their vehicle - trash. Using, taking, lying trash. There is no comparison between the Bushes and the Obamas.

The photo accompanying this post tells me a great deal. So-called poor people are eating and living far better than I am, while I work two jobs at low wages and go to college full time to learn a new trade. I could get government assistance if I wanted, but I choose to make it on my own, not sit around fat, dumb and happy, popping out babies and growing the size of my rearend and my family on the backs of others who work. Sorry, but I'm tired of these chunky monkeys and their growing families who contribute nothing of substance to this society. I know I sound harsh, but I'm tired of it. Time to pull the rug of assistance out, let these people fall, and force them to make it on their own. TRUE people in need are few and far between.

This Jewish Temple should never have invited such a divisive and ridiculous person to speak in the first place. Why not just invite Rev. Wright? It has the same effect on people. What a bunch of fools running that Temple.

Let's try a novel approach. Think before you write. The USA is based on what?..... think about it.... that's right! Judeo-Christian beliefs. What does the word Judeo mean? Think about it.... keep thinking..... ooops! I believe half of your brain just fell out. Better go pick it up.

Well, we will make sure to push you to the front of the line then. You go first.

The rudest people I have met over the past year are Ron Paul supporters. Arrogant, yet uninformed in so many ways. Loud, abusive, insulting people, who believe that screaming over you will reach their objectives. They support a man whose views on foreign policy would get us all killed in short order, yet they will stand in your face and scream that would never happen. Yes, Ron Paul is great on economics. However, that is not the job of a President. The President's main job is to ensure this country is protected from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to provide balance to the other branches of government. Goodbye. Get out. Take your supporters with you.

Do not look to Boehner to do anything of substance at any time. He never does. He talks a lot, but he actually doesn't DO anything. He needs to be removed from leadership, along with his lackey Cantor, and some conservatives need to start leading the charge. Unless that happens, nothing will get done. We all know this.
