Happy Friday, everybody!

The Problem Is Obama

With advisors like Eric Fehrnstrom, Mitt Romney doesn't need a hostile press and GOP hopefuls who will do or say anything to skewer him.

Mitt Romney's Etch A Sketch Problem

It would behoove the GOP to stop eating their own and concentrate on the real adversary in this race...

Dangerous Break

AFP Story On Obama Daughter's Spring Break Trip To Mexico Scrubbed From Internet

Censorship in America? Substitute a Republican president's 13 year old daughter going on a costly spring break trip to a country where Americans have been advised not to visit and see if there is a different approach to the media coverage of the event.

Some pictures of this listless bunch are still available from the Mexican press at Quien.com

Hurry though, we don't know how much longer this story will be allowed to be news.

Pink Slime

Soylent green is people... so what is pink slime?

If you're not familiar with pink slime, also known as lean beef trimmings, go HERE to read the "gristly" details.

The good news is that starting in the fall, schools will be 'allowed' to forsake pink slime in the cafeteria food of American children. Thanks to good ole public pressure.

In case you're wondering, here's a taste test from a real Foodie who volunteered to eat a pink slime burger:

'Pink Slime' Sounds Gross, But How Does It Taste?

Chances are we've all eaten it, but until the public refuses to be fed substances such as pink slime, it might be a good idea to grind your own ground beef or stay away from it altogther.

Shed Of The Year

No, not my two sheds, although I wouldn't be upset over getting a prize for more than one shed ;-)

Anyway, where does your shed rate?

Cat Blog Monday

Why a Cat Blog Monday?

Because it's always a good day to blog about cats.

This is a photo of our newest family member, ShoShin. We originally went to the Humane Society to adopt a kitten, but every single family member was drawn to this 2 year-old Maine coon with the sweet disposition. Fate interceded and this wonderful kitty came home with us.

She answered to her name so we thought it would be best if we let her keep it.

ShoShin... a concept in Zen Buddhism meaning "beginner's mind".

Oh, well. I would've tried to give her a Star Trek name so maybe she's better off ;-)

Happy Monday, everybody!

You, sir, will be missed by many.

Leap Day

It takes the Earth 365.2422 days, on average, to make a full rotation around the sun. Approximately every four years, an extra day is added to February in order to make up for the extra time and keep us in line with the seasons.

You can read more interestng facts about the calendar:

What Is A Leap Year?

It's not really an extra day, but enjoy it anyway.

Guv'Nahs Feast

Michelle Lets Governors Gorge On 2,000 Calorie Dinner

First, I'm no food expert, but this menu plan leaves much room for critique especially when you're known for spearheading the movement that Americans cut down on their caloric intake.

Second, taste-wise, I think this menu is ghastly. Crab in mac-and-cheese? Ewww.

Spinach is fine, but creamed, and after the weird mac-and-cheese?

*sigh*

The only Governor who's satisfied today is Governor Brewer who chose not to attend.

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... a chicken cat dedicated to fellow blogger,
Sue Hanes who joked about it in yesterday's post.

Happy Friday, everybody!

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz

I don't know how scientifically credible it is, but from BBC News online comes this interesting article about our sleep habits...

The Myth Of The Eight Hour Sleep

I'm often up in the wee hours, but unlike the Savage Chicken, I don't stress out about it. I use the time to read or watch TV until I fall asleep again. And we're usually up with the chickens at our house no matter how little sleep we've gotten that night.

That's how the Cube family rolls :-)

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... an interesting, but scientifically unproven article entitled:

How Your Cat Is Making You Crazy

via a microscopic parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, excreted by cats in their feces.

Just food for thought because sometimes science is stranger than fiction.

Happy Friday, everybody and don't let the parasites bite :-)

SUPER Bowl

I knew going in that the odds were that the Patriots would win, but I still rooted for the Giants. What a shocker of an ending. Woot!

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... a Cat Blog Friday specially for Sue Hanes because she asked so nicely.

I can't believe my last post was last Friday. Between year-end tax paperwork, family and that my in-laws are visiting in one week, time for blogging is scarce lately. I may have to hire an assistant ;-)

Have a Happy Friday everybody! Hope yours is less hectic than mine.

Cat Blog Friday

For this Friday, the 13th, Cat Blog Friday...

...an angry black cat. I think it dovetails nicely with the spate of articles about Michelle Obama denying that she's an angry black woman.

Here are a couple, but there are plenty more...

Portrait Of The First Lady As An Angry Young Woman

Michelle Obama: People Paint False Image That I'm Some Angry Black Woman

Best quote from the articles I read was from William Sullivan of The American Thinker:

"Mrs. Obama, your image as an "angry black woman" is not an image we've painted of you. This is an image you've masterfully painted for us all."

I have always been proud of my country.

TeBowie

Don't start hating on me... I'm very proud of Tebow, but I also thought this Jimmy Fallon parody was humorous and clever:




You can bet nothing short of a dire emergency will drag me out of the house on Saturday night when the Broncos play the Patriots.
