And here I thought she was just annoying...

This little missive is from the Hon. James David Manning, PhD, pastor of the ATLAH World Missionary Church located in ATLAH, New York. He seems to find some disturbing trends in Miss Winfrey's behavior...website here... http://atlah.org/

On with WTF Theater!...

Now for something pointles, bizzare and I am sure some would say even slightly disurbing...



We could comment about the bikini, her VERY buff six-pack, the fact she is wearing shades indoors...and on and on...but I just like to groove to that drum line!

One of the most powerful versions of Amazing Grace I have heard.

Sung by Dr. Wintley Phipps of the Palm Bay Seventh-day Adventist Church in Palm Bay, Florida, at the prayer service at the National Cathedral in Washington DC this morning.




Now, I don't consider myself a believer in the truest sense of the word. I suscribe to no one creed or faith structure and do not feel the need for a personal god that is interested in the day to day activities of we humans...but I do appreciate that others do, and I DO know the power of music and Dr. Phipp's baritone combined with this wonderful melody moves the soul, chakra, psyche, spirit, chi...etc.

And Now For War On The War Reporters...

Poor Joe...or rather Sam...He must be really upset that his 15 minutes of fame were up about 15,000 minutes ago. And since he isn't a real (i.e. licensed) plumber, I guess he felt he could be a real unlicensed journalist.






That's One Way To Shoe Him The Door...



From The HuffingtonPost.com on Jan 19, 2009



Ryan Grim - Reporting for the Huffington Post



Bush Protest: Shoes Thrown At White House



President Bush was given an Iraqi-journalist-style sendoff on his last full day in office Monday, as tourists and demonstrators lobbed shoes, pumps, boots, sandals and Crocs from Pennsylvania Avenue onto the White House lawn.
Before launching the operation live, the shoe-chuckers took target practice in Dupont Circle on a 20-foot-tall blow up doll of the outgoing president, decked out in the flight suit he wore aboard the "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier





Unlike Muntazer al-Zaidi, the Iraqi reporter who inspired the protest, none of the shoe-throwers in the group were arrested. (Later that day, reports NBC, one man was arrested for chucking a shoe at the White House.)
Marching down Connecticut Avenue with handfuls of footwear, the group of about a hundred was on the receiving end of enthusiastic honks, thumbs-up and waves from people in the street.
The reception was almost as warm from the people guarding the White House.
"Don't hit me!" one officer behind the White House fence joked as shoes rained around him.
Tracey Primavera, a shoe-lobber from Provincetown, Massachusetts, shouted at the guard that she had a pump that would look nice on him. "I tried that. It didn't look good on me," yelled back the officer. Primavera tossed him the pump anyway.
Tourists on Pennsylvania Avenue picked up shoes and lobbed them at the White House as well. "A lot of random people joined in," noted one organizer, David Swanson. "Everybody wanted to be photographed with an "Arrest Bush" sign.
The tourists also joined a spontaneous chorus that formed. On the night of the election, thousands of people swarmed the White House and sang the old sports classic, "Hey, Hey, Hey, Goodbye." The song made a reappearance Monday, as did a number of tunes apparently written for the occasion, with lyrics such as "Hang down your head, George Bush/Hang down your head in shame," and "Take him to the Hague" -- the latter sung to the tune of "Working on the Railroad."
The target practice on the giant Bush doll began around 11:00 in the morning and was still going five hours later, as thousands of people walking through the circle stopped to pick up a shoe and wing it at the outgoing president. Some threw fastballs like al-Zaidi. Others tied several together in an attempt to land them on Bush's long Pinocchio-esque nose. Children took part. ("Okay. One more shoe, kids," said one parent.) Some folks simply walked up to the doll and kicked it in the shins. It fell over at one point and people rushed it, beating it with shoes.





Still others, like al-Zaidi, missed.
"Ah! I missed!" yelled Sharon Kerr, in town from Austin, Texas, after chucking wide of her presidential mark. She said that she felt a little like the Iraqi reporter for missing. But she noted in his defense, "He had people blocking him."
Kerr began to leave the circle but stopped. "I'm gonna go one more time. I'm gonna nail him this time," she said before winding up and striking him cleanly in the belt.
Cheryl Upshaw, in from Atlanta and sporting a full-length fur coat, hit the Bush doll high on the shoulder. "I was really trying to aim for his heart," said Upshaw, a registered nurse who owns a home healthcare agency. The throw was cathartic, she said, and it seemed to relieve some of her anger.
"It's not that I hate him," she clarified. "I don't hate him personally. I hate what he has done to this country."
Medea Benjamin, a cofounder of the antiwar group CODEPINK, said the protest was a way to "get the Bush era out of your intestines."
"I was a little reluctant because I want to be in a positive mood," she said. "I don't want to be seen as doing something violent. The shoe-throwing is borderline, but the intent is to insult, not to hurt. There's a fine line."
Once all the shoes had been tossed onto the White House lawn, the officers collected them and piled them into the back of a small truck. "The next person who throws them gets arrested," said one, though the entire pile had already been thrown.
As the protesters headed back toward Dupont Circle, a Secret Service agent left them with a parting observation.
"You all won," he said.

The Ice Storm Cometh...

Ice and snow have hit Indiana like a coal shovel to the back of the head this past week...and quite a few people lost power for days...but thanks to the hard work of electrical workers from eleven states most everybody has their power back. But in spite of the carnage the loss of power left behind you could not deny that the results of the storm were in essence incredibly beautiful to look at.



So with that in mind....Eurythmics, Winter Wonderland





Have a very Merry Christmas this year and may you get all that you asked Santa for...and may we finally find peace on earth, goodwill toward all!

It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas...

For those of you who are in the know, my partner in crime, my compadre in chaos, my Minister Of Silly Walks, you get the idea... simply put, my best friend, is a fine fellow named Rob. Rob runs a little blog called christmas yuleblog.

http://christmasyuleblog.blogspot.com/

He is in my opinion, and probably most of the uncivilized world's as well, the foremost collector of Christmas music and trivia there is. With well over 1900 Christmas CDs, and god knows how many LPs, 45s, 78s, 8-Tracks, cassettes, Edison wax cylinders, inscribed cuneiform clay tablets and papyrus scrolls of Christmas songs past he has in his collection... ( I am sure he will let me know a close approximate number)
And these are not the common tripe you see peddled in the $5.99 and under bin at the local mega-mart. These are truly gems of Christmas music history.

It has been my quest for the past couple of years to find him as a present from me at Christmas a recorded song or album he has not heard of or doesn't have...Trust me it is easier getting Adolph Hitler to send you a Happy Hanukkah card than to get something Rob doesn't know about.

In his honor I bring you a few sites I have come across that he probably knows about already...but if not...hee hee hee...maybe he'll find something new.
