Finally he quits!

The only thing worse than a politician is a career politician. He hadn't had a real job since 1945.   If you're a politician long enough, you'll play both sides of the fence: yes, Vietnam War; no, Iraq War; no, Civil Rights Act; yes, KKK (apology later); yes civil rights legislation.

Nearly 50 years on the taxpayers' dime and  boastful of his tag line "King of Pork..." 

“I hope to become West Virginia’s billion-dollar industry."

This was not public service. This was a public disgrace.

Alice doesn't live here any more, thank goodness!

Alice Cooper singing disco?  Check him out in this 1978 film, Sextette, an embarrassing last film for Mae West. Kinda makes you want to strut and wiggle your behind.

(I think I better get my hair cut soon. I'm beginning to look like 84 year old Mae from this movie. Yikes!)

For you Alice Cooper fans, here's something better.

My Friday evening

There's nothing quite like seeing a couple in love. The eyes gazing, the hand holding, the brush of a cheek. 

But when it evolves into heavy petting in public, it becomes disturbing

especially while you're eating

and the couple is quite grey and wrinkled.

Oviously they were having an affair

at a well-lit all you can eat Chinese buffet.

Change of life

Yesterday I went to a luncheon honoring a friend who is retiring from a position in the public school system.  We were asked to write down a piece of advice to her about retirement.  Here's what I told her:



She'll probably be bored out of her mind within six months.  She's still young, fun, attractive and active. Even a part-time job doing something she loves won't really seem like a job.  Note that I didn't say get a new career. That would be too much work.

Recycling Tip

Just in case someone leaves a dead animal head in your bed some evening, here's one way to reuse and recycle it:

All this talk about getting old is getting old

With all the baby-boomers now entering senior citizen status, it has become the media rage to explore aging and provide information on how to cope with the inevitable.

Oprah apparently has been featuring older women (50+) and giving them a stage to offer advice on embracing aging (mostly via plastic surgery, botox, and anti-aging creams).  "Brilliantly aging women" is the tagline. Yesterday she featured Raquel Welch, 69.

Yes, she has fully embraced the experience of wrinkles, grey hair, droopy eyelids and marionette mouth, don't you think?

Now Dame Helen Mirren, 65, a very fine British actress, has posed topless. You can view the entire slide show here, fully exposed ta-tas and all. She, for one, actually seems to be embracing aging by showing us how dementia can affect judgment.

Jesus Struck by Lightning

Just more evidence showing the lunacy of religion.  Jesus doesn't know it's dangerous to stand out in the open and near water during a thunderstorm.

 "Jesus is on fire.  It's amazing."
