April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbours, or sending them on fool's errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon: like UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool".[1] Elsewhere, such as in Ireland, France, and the USA, the jokes last all day.

200th Birthday Of America's Greatest President

My birthday wishes to Abraham Lincoln on his 200th birthday, :
"Today, Thursday , February 12th, is the 200th birthday of the Greatest President in American history, and I just want to say Rest In Peace Mr. President,

what?...sorry someone just looked over my shoulder and "didn't" know who the Greatest President in American history was.

Actaully, no one did "this" year, but I like that line, so I put it in whenever I write or talk about Abraham Lincoln:)

Wow, I was surprised, as Obviously it was Abraham Lincoln. There follows two links to show anyone who cares how great he was!

The first is to the "Lincoln Institute Presents Abraham Lincoln's Classroom" which has days and days of material for a Lincoln fair weather friend or a true fanatic.

The second link is to a website that has a great deal of information about the Lincoln Museum in Springfield, Illinois, and their preparations for his 200th birthday next year!!

Your Number 1 fan!!

How is your Friday the 13th going?

I can see that Friday the 13th is already going bad, as the House has just passed the Stimulus Bill to kill America, and snow is flying, so I guess we are in for a scary evening ;)

Here is the story at Yahoo News:

If you fear Friday the 13th, then batten down the hatches. This week's unlucky day is the first of three this year.

The next Friday the 13th comes in March, followed by Nov. 13. Such a triple whammy comes around only every 11 years, said Thomas Fernsler, a math specialist at the University of Delaware who has studied the number 13 for more than 20 years.

By the numbers

Here are 13 more facts about the infamous day, courtesy of Fernsler and some of our own research:

Take Care!!

Well, Hell, they just passed the economic stimulus bill in the Senate, and the economy is already recovering~~I mean it will turn around shortly, once the House and Senate agree on which frisbee golf courses, and atv parks, can stay in the bill, and which are just "pork".

I will make no qualms about it, I am opposed to this additional waste of our great-great-great granchildrens money, just as I opposed the original bank bailout bill, which has been wasted and accomplished nothing.

I do want to congratulate President Obama for his win in November, but the approach he is taking with the economy is right of Comrades Pelosi and Reids communist playbook, and will doom his Presidency, and our country. If he really wanted to stimulate the economy by throwing billions of borrowed dollars at it, it would have been quicker, and more efficient to let the workers of America receive it as a direct $7340 to each of the 109 million people who are employed right now.

I mean, this is simple simon stuff, and while Rushie, and Seanie and the other blithering goats on the right are attacking this bill, because they are going to attack everything Obama tries to do, I am attacking it, because I hope he succeeds in making America a better place, but I do not think this is a good way to accomplish that goal.

Anyway, here are links to the House and Senate bills, if you have the stamina to read through this entire piece of crappy legislation.

I shall write more about this in the future, but a friend of mine, who has retained his Republican identity, and has called me a traitor for having voted for Obama, "just to shake things up", asked me to remind everyone that George W. Bush, kept us safe from terrorists for 7 years. Oh, this friend also says if we just kick all of the muslims out of the country, we will stay safe:)

Yes, I do have a very interesting, and diverse group of friends;)

It is part of the fun of knowing most of my friends from the Coral Ridge Mall, which has an exotic mix of people working there.

Oh by the way, this is an excellent opportunity for you all to travel to the Coral Ridge Mall, Coralville, Iowa, and spend some money, which would help "our" economy. There are sales nearly everywhere, and people who will appreciate your presence, and try and make your shopping experience incredible. It is slower during the week, so that would be a prime time, and of course Saturdays are huge, with last weeks crowd, equalling the numbers during the holidays. I invite you to stop by the art kiosk and say hi, anytime you are here.

On a lighter note former Vice-President Dick Cheney, "accidently" shot his next door neighbor, while clearing brush with his shotgun. I did not check the accuracy of this report, because that would have required effort, so take it as fact or not, it really doesn't matter to me, as I just thought it was amusing.

Have a Great Tuesday, and be sure to take everything I write as fact, as it will be a lot easier for me to succeed in this whole change of character to try and grow my ranks of minions:)

As my "friends" at Fox News, say but don't practice, "We Are Fair, Balanced, and Unafraid", whatever--anyway besides, "take care", that will be my other catch phrase, so make sure you practice saying it out loud, so you can chant it with me at my future "rallies"!!

Now I just need to work on getting a radio talk show, and I can blather on as well, and get me some of those "ditto heads"!!

Oh this is going to be sweet fun!!

Take Care!!

I hope the New Year is being good to all of you out there. I have been very busy through the holidays and January, as I have been trying to find a way to purchase this business, and avoid having it close. I am getting to the end of that rainbow, and will know if my friends can swing it and assist me financially, or if I will be working somewhere else after next week. I have come to a place of acceptance in whatever happens. My preferred situation would be to stay here, buy the business with these silent partner friends, and keep doing what I do, selling framed art prints.
