Brad Pitt...formerly of Springfield, Missouri....formerly a singer in the Choir at South Haven Baptist Church....has said that he and Angelina Jolie will not marry as long as the United States continues to forbid Gay Marriage.
What does this say to me? That Brad Pitt is an upstanding citizen who is only looking out for the best interests of his fellow citizens???
No
That Brad Pitt places the problems and concerns of the world before his own wants and needs?
No
That Brad Pitt has renounced his Baptist upbringing and is now wallowing in sin?
(part of me wants to answer "maybe" to that one, but I try not to judge...)
That Brad Pitt is phobic? (not Homophobic...but committment-phobic)
Yep, that's what it looks like to me!
First of all let's look at the facts. 1. Brad Pitt has already been married once 2. He's involved with crazy-as-a-loon Angelina Jolie...(you know, she sleeps with knives and once wore a vial of Billy Bob Thorton's blood around her neck) oh, and she was MARRIED TO BILLY BOB THORTON!!! IS THAT CRAZY ENOUGH FOR YA? 3. This just reeks of publicity stunt
I mean, really... Brad is starting to come off as a bit of a flake, isn't he? So what's one more goofy stance or statement going to do? After all, he's never going to be considered as weird as Tom Cruise, is he? Sure, he can go on about the environment and drive his hybrid car, only to fly in a private jet and drive a range rover on the weekends... He's committed to saving the Earth! He's committed to Gay Rights!!! He just can't commit to marrying the woman that had his baby...
Brad Pitt...formerly of Springfield, Missouri...formerly a "normal" guy...and formerly a guy who made sense!

Stupid Girl
A friend of mine reminded me today of the song "Stupid Girl" while referring to a certain someone that we know who more or less fits that description.
I made a vow or resolution this year to not be as negative as I was last year.... and so far, I'm failing miserably! The problem is that people keep giving me so darned much ammo to use against them!!!
From co-workers to acquaintances, to people on TV, I'm beginning to find more and more fault in people. Now, I generally view myself as a positive person, but I am so sick and tired of people who do dopey stuff that just gets all over my nerves!
I've ranted before about the evils of cell phones, bad drivers, people who criticize the Government, yet can't bother to take the time to vote...etc...etc...etc... so I will let them go this time although they know who they are and they are still on my list!
So, who has my goat this time?
1. Stupid Girls... or stupid anyone, or even people who are smart and choose to act stupid.
2. Anna Nicole fans. I'm sorry she died, but she had a train wreck of a life...how did you think it
was going to end?
3. Britney Spears fans... WHY DO I CARE THAT SHE's BALD?
4. Al Franken...why would I even listen to a guy who is wearing Ted Baxter's suit???
5. Hillary Clinton...for oh, so many reasons!!!
6. Environmental Celebrities who drive SUV's and Fly Private Jets...
7. Entertainment Tonight/Access Hollywood/The Insider...what did you air before Anna Nicole
died? Is there no other "Entertainment News" in the world?
8. George Lopez...why is he on Leno's case? Why do I care?
9. The people who've stopped watching "LOST." Just what is it that you want from your
Television if not the best show on TV???
10. "Brothers and Sisters" One of the better casts on Television...(heck, you've got half the cast
of "Alias" plus Sally Field, Calista Flockhart and Rob Lowe and all you can do is one
gratuitous sex scene after another...HIRE NEW WRITERS!
Okay, I'm done venting...now, what legally can I do to rid the world of the stupid girl and not be viewed as being too negative?

Al Franken for President! "We're Al in this together!"
I want to take this time to nominate Al Franken for President!
While it is true that Al Franken's only previous experience with politics has been from hanging out with famous Democrats while belittling the likes of Bill O'Reilly and peddling his hate-speech manifesto "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot..." Franken had a long and distinguished career long before he became "famous" for his political commentaries and dust-ups with O'Reilly.
He appeared on "Saturday Night Live" for many years, most noteably as the character "Stuart Smalley," who later went on to star as that character in the boffo box office smash "Stuart Saves his Family."
He co-wrote the classic film "One more Saturday night," and headlined the uber-successful "Air America" radio network which is now in it's 59th year on the air.
And now, he wants to represent the state of Minnesota as a Senator...
With a resume like that, one would think that he were more suited to be the dogcatcher of Nimrod, Minnesota.
Nimrod, which boasted a population of 75 townspeople during the 2000 census, seems like the best possible place for Franken to set up his home base.
With a 100% White racial makeup and a median income of $30,313... these people seem to be just the sort of people that Franken could represent as dogcatcher!
The people of Wadena County would be so lucky to have him! And we non-Minnesotans would be left to watch in awe and envy of these fortunate folk!
After a brief stint as dogcatcher, then and only then, would Franken be ready for his next destination...PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!! And Al, if you ever need a Campaign Manager...I'M YOUR MAN!!!
David
(as of this date...there is no official web site for Mr. Franken...when it becomes available...please feel free to offer your support to his campaign for dogcatcher...after all, "We're Al in this together!")

What I Miss...
About once a year I go through kind of a homesick phase...and while I'm not sure if that is the case today, I'm still feeling a bit nostalgic for certain things.
These things (or in some cases, people...) may have been things I saw or did yesterday, but still can't seem to feel a bit lonesome for...
Maybe it's a mid-life crisis or a bit of the blues...but in any event, I miss the following: (in no particular order or level of importance...)
My Grandma (who will be having a birthday very soon!)
Cornbread
Playing kick ball
Tire Swings
Waking up without a backache
Buck O'Neil (the late, great baseball player)
Drinking water straight out of an open tap
Falling in love with my Wife for the first time
Summer
My Friends and Family who have passed away
People with Manners
Watching my kids learn to walk and talk
George Burns
Johnny Carson
Jimmy Stewart
Watermelon
The Ocean
When Luke was a puppy and used to sleep in the laundry basket (now he's twice as big as the laundry basket!!!)
A life without bills
The simplicity of childhood
The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman
The smell of peaches
Walking in the woods
Seeing my Mom and Dad on a regular basis
My friend, Steve
Onion Rings at the Strafford Drive-In
Cashew Chicken
Mrs. Anderson
Nat King Cole's music
Warm Breezes
Spot, Ginger, Puppy, Bear, Toby, Laddie, Katie, Snoops, Dickens, Snoopy, Blackjack and all the dogs I've loved and lost over the years... (and my horses, Dreamer and Lassie too!)
The Fried Mushrooms Grandma Cox used to make
Watching Grandpa Fry dance
Aunt Muriel baking brownies
Driving my friend, Jeff's convertible right after I got my license
All day movie marathons with all of my friends
The good old days

Hey, Whatcha doin'?
Yeah, you...
I see you there...
Sitting at your desk...
Doin' nothin'...
Goofing off when you should be working...
Tired of reading about the latest celebrity mishap on the net?
There's really nothing else going on today...
Alber Pujols became a citizen...congratulations...does the certificate come with manners?
(If not, go buy some...you can afford it!)
I'm tired...
I was off work yesterday...
Stayed home and played games with sick old Jared...
"Deal or no Deal"
"Jenga"
"Don't break the ice"
Then we worked on his spelling words...
So far he's gotten a perfect score on every single test!
Dustin was always a good speller at that age too...
I entered the Dream Home Sweepstakes at HGTV.Com...
I won't win...
I'm bored...
I bet you couldn't tell...
Happy Birthday to Elaine, Michael and Dustin...
42, 40 and 13...geez...everyone's getting older...
I'm on lunch break at work...
Kind of quiet here...
Guess I'd better go "noise up" the place...
Hee, hee, hee...
Dave
