A Fur, Fins and Feathers Break
by Pat_S on April 12, 2011Being a news junkie takes a toll on the nervous system. The world is a mess and there’s plenty to worry about. What a relief to come across some animal antics to soothe the soul today. Thought I’d share them with you. Cat and dolphins. (If you have any jokes about cat food, please keep them to yourself.)

Don’t Miss Tonight’s Rare SuperMoon
by Tammy on March 19, 2011Tonight’s moon will be ginormous and look close enough to Earth to touch. The next time it will look like this will be in 2029, so make a point to take a glance, I think it’ll be worth it 🙂 The best time to look? When it’s at the horizon. CNN: Weekend full moon the biggest in about 20 years CNET: NASA offers new reassurances about supermoon NetGeo: “Supermoon” Tonight: Biggest Full Moon in 18 Years

Hippie Crisis: Zodiac in Cosmic Flux, Horoscopes Change!
by Tammy on January 13, 2011So, I was a Leo, and thank goodness am still a Leo even though there’s been a major change in the horoscoping. While I feel sorry for all the hippies who are no doubt struggling with this news, all is good in my sector which is still very Leoish. Oh, and “they” have also announced a new sign–“Ophiuchus.” Gesundheit and good luck. Wobbly Earth Means Your Horoscope Is Wrong If you look to your horoscope for a preview of your day, look again: You’re probably following somebody else’s supposed fate. Thanks to Earth’s wobble, astrological signs are, well, bunk. (Or even more bunk than you might expect.) Astrological signs are determined by the position of the sun relative to certain...

Nature. The Boss of Us.
by Tammy on June 30, 2010Okay, more like the Boss of Hippies. I’m just sayin’. Oh, and it’s Arizona researchers who may be saving hippies from themselves 😉 Bags for life could have E.coli Bags for life could be a threat to shoppers’ health because they harbor potentially deadly food poisoning bugs, according to research. Tests on shoppers’ bags revealed half contained traces of E.coli, a lethal toxin which killed 26 people in Scotland in 1996 in one of the worlds worst food poisoning outbreaks. Scientists also found many were contaminated with salmonella. Reusable plastic shopping bags have become increasingly popular in Britain thanks to supermarkets and other retailers giving out millions of free ones to shoppers in the last three years…The tests were undertaken...

The Shocking Story of Bearack Obearma
by Tammy on June 8, 2010Everybody should heed the warning to not feed wildlife because they become dependent and cannot forage for themselves anymore. This is such a tragedy to see what they have done to our country’s beautiful animals! The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect US wildlife. Animals that were formerly self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democrat Party, as they have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance. This photo is just one example of a Democrat bear in Montana who actually changed his name to honor his hero: Bearack Obearma

“Biggest Dick” Unwanted in Saudi Arabia
by Tammy on February 4, 2010This is what happens when you have a country full of Little Dicks, they get all jealous. Or something. (HT Claire at SondraK). Pakistani ambassador rejected because his name is NSFW in Arabic Despite having served for years as a distinguished Pakistani diplomat, Akbar Zeb reportedly cannot receive accreditation as Pakistan’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The reason, apparently, has nothing to do with his credentials, and everything to do with his name — which, in Arabic, translates to “biggest dick.” According to this Arabic-language article in the Arab Times, Pakistan had previously floated Zeb’s name as ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, only to have him rejected for the same reason. One can only assume that submitting Zeb’s...

Itching to Leave Michigan
by Pat_S on July 12, 2009A post by Pat It’s not just the government sucking our blood here in Michigan. The foreclosure rate is among the highest in the U.S. The unemployment rate is over 14% and rising. The core industry is collapsing. As people move out, non-taxpaying mosquitoes move in. In the unlikely case the mosquitoes will run out of abandoned or foreclosed homes to nestle in, the state, facing a $1.4 billion budget deficit, closed eight prisons to save $120 million. It’s a haven for all kinds of culprits. Like other states, Michigan is spending stimulus money to help the public sector first. Mosquitoes on the rise in Michigan Mark Sheperdigian of Rose Pest Solutions in Troy says the summer pests are laying...
