So I guess Michelle Bachmann is even too extreme for her own church, as her Pastor kindly asked her to leave her church for good. Is this someone we want to be in charge of nuclear arms, missiles, bombers....? I think not. Please stay away from the White House.
In a never ending effort to get you on Fleecebook and never to get off- for any reason, Zuck's crowd is now busily working on a way for you to read the news while in Fleecebook, AND you can do it with your friends!
Thank goodness it is FINALLY FRIDAY!!!
Do you know what would have happened if it had been three Wise Women instead of three Wise Men?
They would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts.
If Jesus returned today, He might misinterpret women hailing him when they were getting a cell phone pic, Looking at their watch, Buying condoms, Shaving their pubes, Going to Olive Garden and on to the mall...
AS PROMISED: "The lighter side..." and free erudite opinions (and whines and gripes, that may not be politically correct), hyperboles and advice (on current events as well as topics for the digerati), and even some temporary(?) insanities too (daily risibility exercises)!... And the Picture-Of-The-Week:

My Statement
"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman
