    I just can't get enough of this silly song. Why, I don't know. My grandson even threatened to shoot a video of me singing it so he could add it to YouTube's collection of diffent covers of it. This link provides one of the more interesting versions for those of you who are tired of serious subjects. http://youtu.be/lEsPhTbJhuo
  2. I can't believe these big city mayors currently making news! Not just content to limit how large a soft drink fast food customers can order in public places, NY mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is advocating that hospitals charge new mothers for the infant formula required should they choose not to breast feed. Puleeze. All of these LaLeche busybodies can't protest enough about bans placed on mothers nursing in public, claiming these mama cats have a right to do so. If this makes onlookers uncomfortable then, tut-tut - or tit-tit in this case. But if a woman decides she doesn't want to fulfill the second step of the ritual/fad that follows showing off her baby bump for a disinterested world to admire, by suffering through 3 months pretending she enjoys shutting up a bawling brat by poking her gnawed nipple in its mouth, she should be able to do this without being intimidated or penalized. There are a lot of extenuating circumstances when it comes to breast-feeding and its benefits ain't all they're cracked up to be because of things that a mother can inadvertantly pass on to her baby. But this doesn't impact on people who want to dictate how others should live their lives. Not to be out done in overstepping his bounds when it comes to public policy Chcago's mayor Rahm Emanuel has sided with the city alderman who doesn't want a Chick-fil-A business opened in his ward because the CEO of this organization doesn't support same sex marriage, preferring the biblical definition of this "holy state" as being a union between a man and a woman. Mayor Emanuel voiced approval of the alderman's objection saying Chick-fil-A's values do not reflect those of the city of Chicago. Get outta here, Rahm. When's the last time you walked through the hazardous homophobic streets of Chicago's black neighborhood? Far be it from me to defend reigious caveats, but I think a merchant has the right to believe what he wants to believe as long as he doesn't discriminate against customers. Jeeze! I went out and looked at the full moon last night, because at my age I won't be witnessing many more of these celestial wonders that have always appealed to my werewolf tendencies. I feel the same way about this unusually hot summer, glad that I have lived long enough to experience what I,as a Leo, have always thought the weather should be like this time of the year. Hot and Sunny; relief supplied by an occasional balmy breeze. I love nature, but the world's inhabitants pollute it. If, all of a sudden, my posts stop, consider that me and Morgan Freeman have slipped "through the worm hole" and have become one with the universe!
  3. LAST NIGHT I SAW A DOCUMENTARY ON BLACK CIVIL RIGHTS FROM THE 1960'S..SOUNDTRACK OF THE REVOLUTION....CLARENCE THOMAS IS NOT THURGOOD MARSHALL ON THE SUPREME COURT...BLACK PREACHERS ARE NOT DR.

    Sad commentary on how far America has fallen when the main thing it is providing its citizens with nowadays is material for ridicule... ...as MItt Romney announces his cookie cutter conservative choice for a running mate, and Barack Obama snubs the traditional 75 year old back-to-school parade politicians all over Chicago and Cook county participate in to placate black voters, - and makes plans to attend a private fund raiser bash to be hosted by NBA stars, including Michael Jordan. Meanwhile, much to the disgust of his constituents, Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. is lolling away at the Mayo Clinic supposedly recovering from the depression brought on by the post traumatic stress that is a side-effect of his stapled stomach weight-loss surgery.
  5. I'm familiar with some of Anyike's work. He has published some interesting information. -------------------- According to Rev. James C. Anyike, “One of the main reasons many of our churches and businesses are dying is because they have no relationship with younger people, and they don’t have any plans to.” Anyike is the Senior Pastor of Scott UMC and The Way, and a nationally known author of three books. “Our success as families, churches, businesses, and other institutions will be best realized when the generations can understand each other and work with each other,” said Anyike. ------- Do any of you agree with this?
