After eight months of wrangling, the Minnesota Supreme Court declared Al Frankin the winner of the Minnesota Senate Race.  Congratulations Senator.

There were five houses of religion in a small Florida town: The Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, the Catholic Church and the Jewish Synagogue…

Each church and the Synagogue was overrun with pesky squirrels.

One day, the Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels.  After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were pre-destined to be there and they shouldn’t interfere with God’s divine will.

In The Baptist Church the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery.  The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it.  The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week.

The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creation.  So, they humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town.  Three days later, the squirrels were back.

But……The Catholic Church came up with the best and most effective solution.  They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church.  Now they only see them on Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday and Easter.

Not much was heard about the Jewish Synagogue, but they took one squirrel and had a short service with him called circumcision and they haven’t seen a squirrel on the property since.

Keep going…..



For all who appreciate the outdoors, this is the rarely photographed South Florida Squirrel.Ôøº

Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.

All this hysteria over the death of a pop star is disgusting.

With all the goings on, you’d have thought that Michael Jackson cured cancer, or done something really important…  OK, he was a great pop star, but to have the whole top fold of the Star-Tribune covering the story (including a headline typo because they were in such a big hurry), when they should be making at least as big a deal about our resident whack-job — Michele Bachmann — crowing to the heavens that she just isn’t going to complete her census form next year.

Michael Jackson sang some great songs, but he was also a disgusting perverted freak who was in the newspaper and the courtroom way too many times for playing with little boys; had an addiction to cosmetic surgery; and lived in a fantasy land.  Is this really the kind of person who belongs on the front page of the paper?  He’s already had more than his fifteen minutes…

What does American Society really stand for any more?

PS: The headline was, THRILLER IS GONE: King of Pop was a boy wonder turned global superstar whose odd life ended abuptly.

Last week, The Onion reported: 90% Of Waking Hours Spent Staring At Glowing Rectangles.

I think that might be a conservative number.  Read the whole story, and decide for yourself.
