A Teachable Moment

Obama and the Democrats got taken to the wood shed and spanked pretty hard by The Massachusetts voters, by seating a newbie Republican in "Ted Kennedy's seat". Now, I wonder if the President and his band of "merry men" will get the message and pay a little more attention to what the people want, instead of what Obama wants. It was a teachable moment.

Happy Birthday Popeye!

This day in1929- First appearance of Popeye the Sailor in E.C. Seegar's comic strip the Thimble Theatre.
According to the King Features website, "Spinach growers credited Popeye with a 33 percent increase in U.S. spinach consumption and saving the spinach industry in the 1930s!"
Although Segar's Thimble Theatre strip, first published on December 19, 1919, was in its tenth year when Popeye made his debut, the sailor quickly became the main focus of the strip.

Happy New Year!!!

I hope everyone who reads this has a wonderful and happy new year.
