Big News
Vice President Dick Cheney suffered shortness of breath and was hospitalized for four hours on Monday. Doctors say he's breathing better now, and his heart could start beating again any day now.
One thing I've learned: the news is a lot more exciting if you make up your own facts.
Terrific Tuesday
Singer Rod Stewart was born on January 10th in 1945. Before becoming a rock star, Stewart was a grave digger. He switched to singing because the groupies were a lot livelier.
Boxer George Foreman turns 57 on Tuesday. George may never stop fighting. Forty years from now, with some double-duty Depends, he'll probably be heavyweight champ at the Old Boxers Home.- George says he owes his longevity to never yielding to the temptation of eating his opponents ears.- They're just not good for you.
On January 10th in 1890 John D. Rockefeller incorporated a small company in Ohio called Standard Oil. People laughed because, back then, oil was considered to be very crude.- Today it's more refined.
On January 10th in 1948 Loretta Webb married Oliver Lynn. Loretta was only 13, but in Butcher Holler that was an old maid.- Loretta was registered at the feed store.- At the bridal shower, she got dozens of pretty feed sacks.
Loretta Lynn stayed barefoot and pregnant and miserable until she became a big singing star and could afford Crisco. And from then on, life was finger lickin' good.
Music History
Texas Country Outlaws - In the early 1970s several country music recording artists moved from Nashville to Texas and created the Outlaw movement in country music. The movement is still growing.
Thoughts While Feeding the Birds
I have dabbled both in sense and in nonsense, and nonsense makes more sense.
When the cat's away, the mice send out for pizza and watch football on TV.
The best way to learn to yodel is to go outside in freezing weather with a hole in your pants.
I seem to have misplaced by CD with the National Rifle Association Tabernacle Choir singing, "I Want A Gun Just Like the Gun That Riddled Dear Old Dad."
