- Freedom vs terrorism.
- Jim B. left this link in yesterday’s comments: There is a fund for the recently widowed teenage mother who shot that intruder last week.
- And for those who laughed at yesterday’s National Apricot Day, may you find your own food jones here. (Scroll down.)
- The anti-SOPA app: Oh, what a potential tool for boycotters of all kinds.
- Alas, I must admit that my own little community (which I’m dead-solid certain would never be in line to have a cannabis dispensary until the devil throws snowballs at Charles Schumer) is among the benighted many preemptively banning the heck out of them.
Dealing with government makes me feel like I need a bath.

April 25th is Zucchini Bread Day-I like zucchini bread. Good a reason to have a holiday as any. How about Mystery Meat Day? To celebrate the many ways stuff hosed off the meat processing plant floor are ground up, reshaped and stuffed into cans or plastic wrap.Or deep-fried in fast-food places..
My food day is an oatmeal thing. No thank you. I’d rather have National Bacon or Steak day, lol!
I love the photo. Made my day. The gloomy weather here matches my mood, watching the antics in NH.
“You know, comrades,” says Stalin, “that I think in regard to this: I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.”
For myself, I’ll be celebrating June 13, National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day.
But I didn’t see a National Fondue Day — I love the stuff, but never make it anymore.
I’ll take any of the blueberry, and pasta days.
One thing about weed clinics that the article doesn’t cover is that a lot of “growers” don’t like the clinics and don’t like liberal laws. The price of a pound was literally cut in half after California started allowing personal use growing. In my county we’re allowed six plants… and if you don’t know what you’re doing you can easily get a pound out of that. If you do know what you’re doing you can get “a bit” more. Living in a relatively poor county means that a lot of people “supplement” their incomes in interesting ways, horticulture being one. I’ve not seen any statistics (for obvious reasons numbers are hard to come by) but at a guess I’d say that most small growers in this county get about $5000 a year from their small plots. That’s literally cut in half from 10 years ago. When the sheriff shut down our clinic a few months ago most small growers were delighted. Strange times for a country that’s growing increasingly odd and totalitarian. BTW, I’m not in the biz nor do I smoke it. In fact “a lot” of my info comes from LE friends.
Hmpf!
Let me get this straight.
There is a Peppermint Patty Day…
…and a Creme de Menthe Day, which are basically the same thing.
Also with all the Chocolate this and that, you’d think someone might have room for a PEANUT BUTTER CUP DAY!
But noooo.
Peppermint patties and creme de menthe are the same thing? I expect there must be a lot of drunken 5 and 10 year olds wandering around, then. 😉
Still, I agree that it’s an outrage — an injustice — wrong in every sense — that there’s no peanut butter cup day.
”Still, I agree that it’s an outrage — an injustice — wrong in every sense — that there’s no peanut butter cup day.”
Me too!
I have written down the address of the fund for the teen mom in OK, and I’m going to be sending a check this week.
Good thing she had a firearm and knew how to use it. The “Brady Bunch” would rather she had a candle.
Thank you, Hanza. Good for you.
It’s comforting to think how that young woman — and all the coverage her actions got — must have distressed the dwindling Brady Bunch to no end.
Awesome.
I haven’t bought a thing from Sony since their legal department attacked the folks for trying to hack Aibo. I’m hoping that Blue Ray will go the way of Beta (but it won’t). Sony has managed to acquire far too much control of the content side to let that happen again. They are leaders amongst the IP excesses in the law.
