Also, an interview with a British online DJ and a Kaitlyn update. Yes she visited Mom-Mom for three days, at age two and a half, and yes, I survived. Also, sexy sandals? With pics! Of course we’ll be covering the Emmys and the fashion smashes and faux pas. |

A grandmother is a babysitter who watches the kids instead of the television. ~ Author Unknown Never have children, only grandchildren. ~ Gore Vidal Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting. ~ Author Unknown Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~ Pam Brown Grandchildren don't stay young forever, which is good because Pop-pops have only so many horsey rides in them. ~ Gene Perret When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window. ~ Ogden Nash Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete. ~ Marcy DeMaree Grandmas never run out of hugs or cookies. ~ Author unknown Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts forever. ~ Author Unknown If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first. ~ Lois Wyse My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after two or three hours with them, I believe it, too. ~ Gene Perret If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is no fun for old people like it! ~ Hannah Whithall Smith It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that's why the world calls her grandmother. ~ Author Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing old. ~ Mary H. Waldrip You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother. ~ Proverb An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again. Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~ Gene Perret The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida. ~ Dave Barry I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for self-defense. ~ Gene Perret Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas are short on criticism and long on love. ~ Author Unknown Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~ Alex Haley

WORLD OPINION
"Whether technically insane, or merely wrong, ignorant, weak, stupid or malicious, the majority of people around the world - what we respectfully call 'world opinion' - are rarely right about much of anything. That, in a nutshell, is why the world is in the shape it is - and always has been."
- Columnist Tony Blankley
Here's a short and simple Bird post.
For a redtailed hawk decided to attack a robin's nest.
What happened next is all about truth, justice and the American way.
Also, some excellent bird pics from an amateur photographer that could rival the best.
Redtailed Hawks and Robins
Time for some True Crime.
What about Jonbenet Ramsey and her so-called pervert killer being imported BACK to the U.S.A by those Colorado prosecutors?
Click in because I've got a believable scenario about what really happened to Jonbenet.
I also delineate the many problems with this case and all the problems focus right on the Ramseys.
Also, book reviews I wrote in 1997 for books about this case and finally, what about this John Karr? How on earth did he murder Jonbenet Ramsey on 12/26/1996 when he was in Georgia that same night?
Also, a dead baby found in an abortion clinic, that nutty woman who urinated on the floor of an airplane and caused all manner of havoc.
An convict goes the Tookie Williams' route and writes a book but gets the death penalty anyway.
And graffiti riddled pigs? A most heinous crime indeed.

AMEN, BROTHER!
"[V]oting is already easy and convenient. Going to the polls once a year is considerably less onerous than buying groceries every week or taking the kids to school every day. Adults who care about government and public policy make it their business to vote. Those who don't care shouldn't vote. We are all better off when people with no interest in civic issues ignore elections and leave policy matters to those who take the responsibilities of citizenship more seriously."
- Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby
This post is a link only.
It's a link to a story I posted on FreeRepublic and nothing else.
For MS. Magazine is calling for women to be proud of their abortions and tell their story.
So I did.
It's not nice. Not nice at all.
POST HERE

A brother is charged with killing his younger brother and the details surrounding this strangeness could not be made up.
Time to address those crimes by our own soldiers in Iraq and hey, soldiers can be criminals too. Plus some detail about other military crimes documented before to disappear to...where?

Quote(s) of the Week
In the Australian House of Representatives last month, opposition member Julia Gillard interrupted a speech by the minister of health thusly: ``I move that that sniveling grub over there be not further heard.''
For that, the good woman was ordered removed from the House, if only for a day. She might have escaped that little time-out if she had responded to the speaker's demand for an apology with something other than ``If I have offended grubs, I withdraw unconditionally.'' — Charles Krauthammer

I can't understand why somebody like that guy in Phoenix who shot that innocent kid. Why in the hell would he do something like that? Was it out of anger or did he just find it fun to pick the kid as a target and shoot him? The frame of mind of people nowadays are so violent or so corrupt and vile that the importance of human values should once again be instilled in everyone's mind.
