NOW THAT'S NOT FUNNY

by The Critic

Rated: 18+ · Book · Comedy · #1062373

NO more humor... just more tragic, sad, sick, twisted goings ons - Sorry

Forget the following:

"Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone"
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1855– ?)

Source: John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

THE ONLY THING NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING.
-Edmund Burke

-

LEARN TO DO GOOD; SEEK JUSTICE, REBUKE THE OPPRESSOR; DEFEND THE FATHERLESS, PLEAD FOR THE WIDOW.
-Isaiah 1:17

-

TEACH THIS TRIPLE TRUTH TO ALL: A GENEROUS HEART, KIND SPEECH, AND A LIFE OF SERVICE AND COMPASSION ARE THE THINGS WHICH RENEW HUMANITY.
-Buddha

-

Congress shall make no law respecting an established religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. - Bill of Rights, March 4, 1789

It is quite possible that some entries may be so sad, sick, twisted, or troubling the only response is to laugh, which as I stated in the beginning of this items description, "Laugh and the world laughs with you..."

I've heard it said, "the ability to laugh keeps a person young."

It's a sick and troubling world WE THE PEOPLE are living in today, and the people that we've always looked to to make it better, just aren't

In response to "April 27th, 2008 Sunday Noon"

Haven't seen you around for awhile. Things are a mess, aren't they? I don't know if McCain is too old in years, but he's too old in his thinking. He seems to be planning on doing the same old thing - harder - and expecting different results. Some places that's called insanity. Welcome back!

In response to "April 27th, 2008 Sunday Noon"

Other than disagreeing that McCain is too old ... I'm basically with you on this.

I understand the economy is trashed. Tough times for the poorest of the poor I may add; much of the middle class has no clue.

However, I'm more concerned about Human Rights and individual rights. When neighbors are paranoid about each other and folks who 'have' feel the need to live behind walls because they fear the 'have-nots' ... the society collapses. We destroy ourselves. Something no foreign power can ever do as effectively.

I thought of you the other day. Good to know you're still around!! Congrats on stopping the smoking.

In response to "Cost of Living - Medically Speaking"

I'm so sorry you are having to deal with all this. I can relate somewhat to money issues. Please though, don't put a dollar value on your life. You are worth so much more than money. I understand how finances can stress you out, but there is no dollar amount worth the beautiful light you bring to this world. Vent, rant and rave all you want here. Just please don't ever think you're not worth what these medical expenses are costing, because you are. Be encouraged. You are loved.

Rachael Ray is irritating. So is Glenn Beck. So is OJ. Who else did you mention?

In response to "Dead or Alive: Which is worse?"

I'm 54, turn 55 in April ... God willing. Not so thrilled about being alive the last three years either. The traumas, anxiety and depression have overwhelmed me.

Yes. I hear you about your son. I have a friend I'd take a bullet for so I would feel the same way too. I don't understand some of the idiots in Washington. Does anyone?

Our age group went through some very specific events (JFK, MLK, RFK, Kent St., Viet Nam, Jim Crow, etc.) and it is hard to hear some of the rhetoric coming out of the national capitol. My mother, who's 84, feels as if everything her generation fought for is becoming unraveled.

I share your despair. But ... the sun will come out tomorrow (really, in Kansas it will! Zero but sunny in the morning.).

In response to "Bush: NO SHOW AT Ford's Funeral - A Public Shame"

Wonder what they all did today? My mother will know ... she watches CNN and liked Ford (She disliked Nixon and her thoughts on Bush would land her in Guantanamo).

In response to "Cloned Meat and the FDA: Be Afraid"

I remember the movie! I was only 13 so I was pretty spooked by it.
As far as everything else, maybe it's time we all became vegetarians?

In response to "Democrates Win - now what?"

I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that the election is over. I'm a little upset that the Democrats have said that impeachment is off the table. They have a duty to investigate, and they have said they will. But they should turn up more than enough evidence to impeach the whole crowd. At the very least, though, they can put the brakes on the destructive steamroller of this awful Bush administration!
