Time to Laugh Now That the Elections Are Over!!

* We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ~Aesop * If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these acceptance speeches there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven. ~Will Rogers * Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. ~Plato * Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~Nikita Khrushchev * When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~Clarence Darrow * Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. ~Author Unknown * If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~Jay Leno * Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. ~ John Quinton * Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. ~ Oscar Ameringer  * I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them. ~ Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952 * A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~Texas Guinan * Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so. ~Gore Vidal * I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~Charles de Gaulle * Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ~Doug Larson * Don't vote, it only encourages them. ~Author Unknown * There ought to be one day - just one - when there is open season on senators. ~Will Rogers

A Giggle or Two from That Other OLD Broad!

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world, I rapidly realized that I don't really give a rat's "Patootie".

It's the tortoise life for me!

 

1. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.

2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, and is fat.

3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.

4. A tortoise doesn't run-- and does nothing--yet it lives for 450 years.

 

And you tell me to exercise?? I don't think so.

 

I'm retired.

 

Go around me.

Congratulations Mr. President!!

Oh, yes! Now, it is indeed a beautiful day!

Let's celebrate!!

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is
noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius

For happiness, one needs security, but joy can spring like
      a flower even from the cliffs of despair.

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night.
