The Sanctity of Marriage

Hello People. I keep hearing all of these people talking about "preserving the sanctity of marriage" and I can't help but wonder what they're talking about. There are currently 16 different "dating" shows either on or about to be on television. Although the settings are different the goal of each is the same; to hook up I mean "find love" with a stranger on national television. These shows are frighteningly popular. The Bachelor/Bachelorette pays single men/women to vie for the love of the "chosen one" in hopes of marriage. Where, exactly, is the sanctity in that? When I was a kitten we called people who were paid to date prostitutes. Today they're called reality stars. There's a new "dating game" where B-List celebrities (the ones not even good enough to dance with)choose a date based on the sound of their voice. It's a take off on The Voice. They spin around in their little chairs after the "contestant" says something provocative. Charming. There is Sister Wives which extols the joy of polygamy. And Wife Swap which, well I don't know the hell the purpose of that is. Call me old school, but I don't think Hollywood would be pumping out all of this trash if people weren't watching it. Who wants to lay odds that those viewers are the same folks holding up the hate signs? Anyway, my point is, if those among you are so concerned about protecting the sanctity of marriage (which in the US fails 52% of the time) perhaps you should be spreading your venom on Hollywood and leave the same sex couples alone.

The dangers of Steroids

Hello my dear friends! I think the fact that our Congress has invested so much time and money to prove that Roger Clements used steroids nearly a decade ago shows just how dangerous steroids can be. Either that or it shows just how useless Congress has become. You be the judge on that one. The reason that millions of tax dollars and endless hours of Congressional time is being used to prove that Clements did use steroids and then lied to Congress about it must be a matter of national security. Why else would this be happening? Secret Service Agents who "misbehaved" in Columbia went put on trial. When the Gubmint "accidentally" posted tens of thousands of citizens social security numbers on line no one went on trial. When Bill Clinton lied to Congress he didn't go on trial. So, one can only assume that Clements using steroids must have much deeper implications that we have not been told about. Otherwise, one would think, Congress would be concentrating on the economy, terrorists, wars around the world or some other event less important than baseball. Right? I mean, I realize that baseball is America's pastime. It's not just a game played by highly paid, pampered athletes. If Congress doesn't get to the bottom of this, what next? Wall Street tycoons could set up elaborate pyramid schemes that could threaten the stability of our entire banking system. Oh wait, that already happened. Who stood trial for that? Anyway, you get my point. If you can't trust athletes to not to attempt to enhance their performance in exchange for millions of dollars, who can you trust? Congress, that's who! Personally, I don't care. What I do care about is YOU, my fellow captives. You MUST avoid the dirty underworld of Kitty Steroids or this may be you...

Be well my friends! Po

Central Air Rules!

Hello my dear friends. I am not one to complain about the heat but can I just say thank God for central air! It's only May and already it is smoking hot! What is this place going to be like in August? Life is not always easy living in a fur coat. Sometimes my stuff gets so hot I just have to flip and cool. You know what I'm saying. Let me tell you, these captors are so cheap that it's a miracle they even turned on the cool air machine. Believe me, there was a heated debate (pun intended) that included phrases like "suck it up" and "you stick your head in the freezer"! The mean mama has a real bee in her bonnet about something called National Greed. Apparently they control the hot and cold air machines. Every October it's "put on a sweater" and every May it's "suck it up". I don't get it but it seems that this National Greed prevents the mean mama from turning on the hot air machine before Halloween and the cold air machine on before June. What ever! We're just relieved that fun mama won the debate and fired up the cool air machine on Saturday. I hope all of you are as lucky as we are. Stay cool people!

Why We Have Monday Off!

Hello my dear friends. With Memorial Day approaching and everyone making plans for the long weekend ahead, please take a moment to remember why we observe Memorial Day. As of May 15, 2012 6433 U.S. Service Members have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. 4474 in Iraq and 1959 in Afghanistan. Of those, 4051 were Army, 1345 were Marines, 196 Navy, 136 Air Force, 211 Reservists. So, properly display your flag and please take a moment to remember those who have made the supreme sacrifice, paid the ultimate price so you and I can live in peace. In the immortal words of Ronald Reagan...
“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.” God Bless America

Made in America? Sort of.

Hello my dear friends. The other day the captor purchased a pair of Sony headphones to use at work. Upon opening the package she was surprised to see a AA battery included. Since headphones don't require batteries she was a bit perplexed. Was there, perhaps, something special about these headphones that required a battery? Is this something new? Well, after much research, these questions were never answered and the mystery of the AA battery remains just that, a mystery. I tell you this because I believe the reason the battery was included was because the young Taiwanese boy who most likely manufactured the headphones didn't know what they were and threw in a battery just in case. Did you know that 90% of the materials used in a product can come from other countries but, according to current U.S. laws, as long as a minimum percentage is assembled or "substantially transformed" in the U.S. it qualifies for the "Made in America" label. Yup. It's true. You've heard the expression that "it gets lost in the translation"? Well, that is why, I believe, we now get labels like this on a washing machine.

Good thing too, because I was just about to toss the kid in! It is the reason that Peanut M&M's actually have a warning on the label that says "This product may contain nuts". Nytol's warning says "may cause drowsiness". Well, it damn well better! I used to believe these things happened because manufactures just assumed that anyone who would buy their product must be a moron. Now I believe it is because the warnings are "losing something in the translation". Anyway, yesterday we talked about dog treats made in China that were killing dogs. Today, I just wanted to let you know that, just because it SAYS "Made in America" doesn't mean it didn't come from Beijing.
