Define Beauty

Posted April 12th by Pamela Hennessy in Amusing, Assorted, Video

Most of us can probably recall our mother or father warning us that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.  Here’s something to underscore that.
Admittedly, I don’t watch this particular program. I don’t watch much television period. But, this clip was posted to Fark and I couldn’t help but take a look. What I [...]

Land of the Free. Home of the Snark.

Posted February 27th by Pamela Hennessy in Assorted, Opinion

My word but we Americans have turned into a disastrously impolite lot.
It’s not as if we aren’t living in a time when embracing one another and endowing each other with just a bit of kindness and thoughtfulness would be an excellent idea. We have an extraordinary opportunity – right now – to show the world [...]

Posted September 7th by Pamela Hennessy in Amusing, Assorted, Ron Paul, Video

Whoa, Nelly! Check out Ron Paul at the Rally for the Republic (he comes in around 15.00). The event was organized by Paul’s Campaign for Liberty and it hosted just over 12,000 enthusiastic, patriotic attendees.
Pure awesomeness.

Funny. If it weren’t true.

Posted September 7th by Pamela Hennessy in Amusing, Assorted, Video, Why the Government Sucks

This little YouTube gem was posted back in February of this year. The content comes from The Onion. You know — those guys who make (oftentimes) brilliant parody of real news items.

Help is on the way!

Posted July 24th by Pamela Hennessy in Amusing, Assorted, Video

So, what happened to your site?

Posted July 2nd by Pamela Hennessy in Assorted

Anyone who’s been here before knows there used to be a whole lot of content. Now, it’s gone buh-bye and it will take some time for me to replace it. What happened? A web hosting company called iPower happened.
iPower hosted my site for a number of years and provided fairly decent service. So much so [...]

7 Words I Don’t Want to Hear

Posted June 24th by Pamela Hennessy in Assorted, Opinion, Video

Comedian George Carlin dead at age 71.
George Carlin was something of a hero to me for quite a long time. Probably since I was only 8 or 9 years of age. I adored his wit as well as his ability to point out the stupidest of human behaviors that nearly all of us share.
Unlike the [...]
