Important Stuff -- Or Not: FYI

FYI

I have added a new gadget to my sidebar called, "Featured Links." I (and Tonto, if she likes) will be placing links to interesting sites I/we stumble across in this list. The links will stay there for about a week before they are removed. That should give people time to link to their own blogs or bookmarks, if they like. So, the list will always be changing.

Those of you who follow my Immutable Truths and Talking Points might want to take a look at them, since I've made a few changes. Although the Truths will remain at 25, I've moved a few to the Talking Points list and slightly changed the wording in a few others to read more smoothly. I've changed or removed a few talking points because I lost sight of the fact that they are supposed to be ones I had created myself, not quoted from others. As I said when I started the lists, they are a work in progress.

I have been suffering intense pain for the last 5-6 weeks. It feels like I was kicked in the upper belly by a horse (and yes, I have been). My boss thinks it's shingles (what a terrible word) and another unsolicited opinion says it is acute pancreatitis. I had some bloodwork and x-rays done last Wednesday, so I should find out what it is this week. It hurts just to wear a shirt and when one of my cats brushes her tail against me, it feels like I've been stabbed by an ice pick (and no, I haven't). If it is shingles, I won't be able to visit my grandson until it's gone. I don't want to give him chicken pox. Feel sorry for me, please

This is my latest toy! Is $329 a lot to spend for a litterbox? You betcha! But this goofy-looking contraption works better than any automated litter box I've ever had. I figure it will pay for itself in a year or two just in litter that it doesn't waste. The globe rotates, sifts the litter, dumps the waste into a drawer in the base and leaves the litter looking like a Zen sand garden. All I have to do once or twice a week is replace the trash bag in the drawer. What a "load" off my mind!

Tonto said...: It sounds like shingles but it shouldn't take a week to diagnose and meds lick that quick if caught early so must be something else.

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

4. It is a small mind that has no room for God.

5. You can take Stalin out of the gene pool, but you can't take Stalinism out of liberals.

6. The best way to sabotage a bad plan is to follow it to the letter.

7. The race card is the first refuge of people who have nothing to say.

8. Ignorance is the cornerstone of arrogance.

9. Which is more racist, to hate someone who is not white or to assume someone is racist because he is white?

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

11. To express righteous indignation, one must first be righteous. And that's a label that doesn't stick to liberals.

12. Profanity is ignorance made audible.

13. An open mind is a liberal's worst enemy.

14. Paternalism is the purest form of racism.

15. People who bend the truth, usually bend it in their favor.

16. If you always stand in opposition to liberalism, you will never be wrong.

18. Life is simple. People who make it complicated usually have an agenda.

19. Getting your news from the corrupt, liberal media is like sticking your head in the sand, except you don't get grit in your teeth.

20. Liberals' emotional development stops at the age of 16.

21. To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell the truth.

22. Idealism seldom matches up with reality.

23. Those who don't hate communism have never lived it.

24. This was a much more civil country when men walked about heavily armed.

25. This economy will never heal as long as Obama keeps picking at the scab.

26. Liberals don't think outside the box; they ARE the box.

27. You cannot change the hearts and minds of liberals, because they possess neither.

28. There is no such thing as a kind liberal.

29. Reading Democratic Party platforms is like reading the history of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity in this country.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
