Former First Dog Barney Bush Dies | Photos 7

I’m a dog-lover and just wanted to pay homage to one of our former first dogs, Barney Bush, an adorable black Scottish terrier owned by former President George “dubya.” Barney was 12 and died after a battle with lymphoma. That is still a respectable age, and definitely lived a loved life.   More…

Is it genetic? Or were they dropped on their head as a baby? 5

For those who regularly come by to visit, can you tell I’ve been in a goofy mood? My last three posts are just for shits and giggles. Had a rough week with my new job, and just wanted to kick back and cruise what I call the “stupid” websites…. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Stupid, but I love them!!! Well, certain ones anyway.  More…

Funny Invisible Cat Photos of Crazy Cat Fun 5

Okay, cat-lovers… this one is for you! And anyone else who likes a good chuckle. Here are some great photo-kitty-captures of cats being cats. Flying through the air, making funny faces, twisting their bodies in odd ways, and so on. Basically doing crazy stuff but it looks like they’re doing real stuff…. but the “stuff” is all invisible. You’ll see.  More…

More Optical Illusions and Double-Takes 5

Here is a wide range of images that are some sort of illusion. Types of optical illusions, also referred to as visual illusions, include literal illusions, physiological illusions, and cognitive illusions. Those three classifications continue to break down even further, but I’m not here to give a course on optical illusions. Just to show them and enjoy. Also mixed in the batch are photos that mess with your mind simply because of the camera angle when the image was taken.  More…

NM Rep Cathrynn Brown Slaps All Women in the Face | Her Contact Info Found HERE 21

Sick. Absolutely sick. This whole bill has literally made my stomach turn and makes me feel like I want to throw up.

New Mexico House Bill 206, introduced by state Rep. Cathrynn Brown (R), has this added section:

B. Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result of criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime.  More…

Should the People Vote for Congressional Raises? Some Very Interesting Stats 7

Should voters be the ones to determine whether or not the Members of Congress receive a raise? This is something I have been mulling over for a while, and I do firmly believe we should. After all, Congress works for the people. Excluding self-employed and small business owners, how many jobs have you held where you got to determine your own raise each year? Come on, hold your hands up high in the air so I can see them! What? No hands? None of you have had the luxury of setting your new salary?  More…

Video: Why Some People Should Not Own Guns | Real Gun Fails 7

Here we have 2-1/2 minutes of hilarious gun fails. This is why some people should not own guns. I’m willing to bet each and every one of these pistol-packin’ people carry on about how they would all be able to take down each and every one of these mass shooters if they were present in the room.  More…

Today I captured a Woodpecker… with my camera 17

I am an amateur. No ifs, ands, or buts. I feel I have a better than average eye, but no where near professional. Although I LOVE wildlife, I have found I favor urban photography. I find people absolutely and utterly fascinating both from a sociological perspective as well as visual. So that is where most of my photography has been. I don’t have the patience for wildlife photography, I suppose. Having to wait sometimes for days, if not weeks or months for that perfect shot. Humph, then if I do finally get to see that critter, it’s out of my site, or partially out of site by the time I get my camera focused. I think I’ll stick to people and items that just don’t move that fast. Although I do enjoy macros photography, and there’s often plenty of time for me to focus. I just need a real macros lens…. Anyway…..  More…

It was written, directed and stars John Elerick and also stars Harley Morenstein and Timothy Delaghetto. The actual film is about 15 second long, and the credit about 3-1/2 minutes. Who wants to read all those credits?  More…

Today a Norman Rockwell painting came back to life but represented Obama’s girls this time. Another sad day in America. 28

Unless you live under a rock, today is the day the NRA stooped to an all time low, lower-than-maggots-on-a-rotting-carcus-low, and brought a taboo subject into this hateful, political war… Obama’s children. It has been an unwritten rule that ALL children of the First Families are off limits to the press and political bullshit. This only goes to show just how little the NRA cares or respects people. All they care about are selling their guns. Their “2nd Amendment Rights” – which are NOT nor NEVER have been threatened… unless you’re a thug, a felon, or a threat. Perfect example, the state of Tennessee has suspended the handgun carry permit of James Yeager, CEO of Tactical Response, who recently said he would “start killing people” should President Obama take executive action on gun control.    More…

One Year Ago Today the Costa Concordia Sinks… well, Partially Sinks 5

On 13 January 2012 at about 9:45 pm, in calm seas and overcast weather, under command of Captain Francesco Schettino, Costa Concordia struck a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea just off the eastern shore of Isola del Giglio, off the western coast of Italy about 100 km (62 mi) northwest of Rome. Of the 3,229 passengers and 1,023 crew known to have been aboard, 30 bodies have been located, and two more passengers are missing and presumed dead.  More…

Odd News: Man Drives Into a Pizza Restaurant then Orders a Pizza-Pie 2

“It was like he does it every day.”

Talk about taking matters into your own hands. So your favorite pizza restaurant doesn’t offer a drive through (are there any that does? Besides the combo Taco Bell/Pizza Hut drive-throughs), what do you do? This elderly man decided to take the term “drive through” literally and drove through the restaurant’s front door. Once he made it through the doors, he actually ordered a pizza from inside his car!  More…

Screw the Right to Bear Arms. It is the Right to Arm Bears! 6

It could not be a more perfect time to post this image, this time with a caption. I had shared this about a year ago as a Parting Shot with the description, “The hunter and the hunted.” These days with the members of the NRA all blowing everything way out of proportion, this photo is a definite “must repost.”   More…
