Posts Roundup of Dennys Blogs - 11 July 2010

*** Check out news, political opinion - serious and funny cartoons, recipes, science and health news, poetry, funny posts, photography, spiritual thoughts and great quotes.





From Denny: With the new and faster features offered by Blogger lately, I decided to go ahead and take the jump. All of my three food blogs are now neatly compiled into one blog: Dennys Food and Recipes.

For the past year I've been experimenting with small niche writing like the so-called internet SEO experts preach. As far as writing goes, I felt constrained in too small a space. Yes, I'm one of those kids who skipped coloring outside the lines in coloring books and took it to a whole new level. I colored whole murals on my bedroom walls. It sure beat the pedestrian mind-dull wallpaper my parents used to cover unsightly and uneven plaster walls in a 160 year old New England house. My father knew how to properly plaster walls since his father was a commercial and residential contracter among other talents - he just didn't want to go to the bother. So, I had my own solution.

I have my own solutions too for these many blogs and I'm combining several of them. What the statistics have proven over the past year is that once a generalist always a generalist. Roaming intellectually is fun for me and I like to bring home my finds for others to enjoy whether it's for mind food or just a good silly laugh.

The new large recipe blog is finished and is called Dennys Food and Recipes. You can find everything from pasta to chocolate to Louisiana food. There are recent food videos and food from other countries like the Olympics food from Canada. The Muffin Monday segments feature bed and breakfast inn recipes from primarily America and Canada to help support small business over Big Business. Supporting small business helps build up and stabilize the economy. It's small business owners who are the heroes of the economic world as they hire at least 70 percent of the workers in America. Supporting them to do well helps you!

From Denny: This was a light week for writing as I spent so much time watching a lot of BP oil spill news from everywhere trying to catch details of what was filtered out of the mainstream copycat media. This is a shifting situation minute by minute as BP tries to twist the truth and manipulate the media to report their lies. It's like a giant shell game from a multinational corporation grifter.

Those of us living in Louisiana and others on the Gulf Coast are committed to holding our government AND most especially BP's mean little toes to the hot coals until they comply fully. The philosophy of "The Minimum Acceptable" from Big Business arrogance and cavalier handling of an environmental and economic disaster is unacceptable in America. If this was happening to the British shores I would be just as outraged and pushing back just as hard.

Posts Roundup This Week at Dennys Blogs - 16 May 2010

From Denny: This sure has been quite the week with the drama unfolding out in the Gulf of Mexico with the BP oil spill off my Louisiana coast. The cartoonists have had great fun lampooning the various lies and finger pointing from the CEOs involved. The better news is that BP is finally making a bit of headway on corralling some of the oil for clean up, siphoning it into a tanker.

Some headway is better than nothing and at least it has slowed down the rate of gushing oil and natural gas for the moment. Definitely better than using an atomic bomb to blow up the well like the crazy Russians suggested. There's a plan. Nuke the Gulf of Mexico and irradiate the ocean waters for the next thousand years. Fortunately, BP and the government are contemplating lesser crazy options.

As a result of the oil spill there are countless great political cartoons and funny videos by the likes of Colbert to enjoy. And Betty White was the toast of late night TV on SNL after turning in some hilarious performances. She then proceeded to go out all night carousing with the SNL cast after the show. She's almost 89 years old and there's no time to waste for having fun! :)

From Denny: OK, this is too funny. It's also a good test of your knowledge about what you think you know about sex from a science perspective. Take the test and see how much you know - or don't know.

Outrageous Tea Party Tax Signs and the Perverted Fools That Carry Them

From Denny: This past week the Tea Party was out in full force doing their usual antics. Many thought they could spell and make awesome political statements most profound on their signs.

Yes, folks, these people were actually caught in public wielding these idiot signs no self-respecting orangutan would venture. I know animals at the zoo smarter than these people who claim to be human.

It's a sad day when America is reduced to this excuse for political discourse. But then again, humor blogs like mine are thrilled for the easy lob over the net they handed me for an hilarious post! After all, it's only fair: they mock liberals so it's our turn to mock them. And they made it so very easy because they really mocked themselves. And I have the photos to prove it:






Oh, look! A Fox "News" employee seen carrying booster signs for the Network of Fools:






And who died and made this guy God of the Universe? Like God really told him this. "Do ya think?" he could be cousin to TV televangelist Pat Hate Them All Robertson? Rather amazing just how much God gets misquoted - and always by the meanest people?






The very reason these people are so screwed up: they can't spell! And the news media is trying to convince us these guys are mostly college graduates??? Uh, they should get their money back from those lame colleges if that is true...






So, they are proud to be stupid, ignorant and suffering from a lack of curiosity to find out the truth and get their facts straight? These guys specialize in being contentious, not smart nor interested in solving the problems of the country they claim to love. Well, if they loved this country they would be more respectful to their President and their fellow Americans who are also represented by the same flag. You can't respect a symbol and not respect the very people who are that symbol. It's disingenuous. Republican political strategists: playing destructive games as usual.







Have you noticed what is wrong with this photo? This racist doesn't have a "Kick me, I'm too stupid to read and find out the facts" sign pinned to his shirt so he can find his way home.







Last time I checked Jesus Christ said, "Do not resent or hold back the taxes you owe to your government: Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's."






This nurse has been working waaaay too many hours:






Ah, the Cult of the Brainwashed:






Uh, yeah, lady, your Republican Party is the government group that paid for all those pole dances at the strip club with your donations - while Democratic Speaker Pelosi was home, fully clothed, minding her own business and watching over her grand kids. Hmmm... "Do ya think?" we have a morality divide going on?






More from the Cult of the Brainwashed who believed the lies Sarah Palin told them about the health care bill contained Death Panels for the government to kill your grandparents. "Do ya think?" they could bother to actually read the health care bill to realize there were no Death Panels whatsoever in the new health care bill just passed? Did they flunk Reading Comprehension and Critical Thinking 101?






A vulgar pun on the word "dictator." These guys must have dementia. Last time I checked elections vote in a President. Dictators use military coups to take over governments. These guys are just angry they don't get to be the dictators. They are angry because no one takes them seriously any more. They make selfish decisions that only benefit a few wallets and then wonder why no one listens to their madman ravings.






Let me see if I get this right: "Obama wants to take away our guns." Let's try this again, folks. Obama gets a flunking grade from those groups who do want to take guns out of the hands of crazy fools like these Tea Party wing nuts. Yet another lie believed by the Non-Thinkers. It really makes you wonder if we should start making people pass IQ tests before allowing them into the voting booth for the next election. That ought to give them something to howl about for sure.

All this recent polls and news coverage garbage that the average Tea Party person is college educated is more stupidity from the media wanting to use the Tea Party for their outrageous wing nut image to promote news viewership. How can anyone graduate college without good reading comprehension? Come on; try again, oh, marketing gurus.







Starbucks was offended when people wearing guns came into their coffee shops and banned them. There was a big fury over it. So, this guy thinks he's funny and does not have to respect the business owners' rules. He can just make up the rules as he goes along and everyone is expected to obey him because he's the one wearing the gun. Think again, wing nut. Point that gun at me and I'll take that as an invitation to take it away from you - and I ain't talking about making new gun laws either.







More from the Cult of the Brainwashed of lying "facts" probably cut and pasted off of the Fox "News" site or other domestic terrorist militia sites. This sign is such an idiot thinking statement there is nothing to do but spit on it for its inane inaccuracies:







Oh, look at this zoo of pretend Christians. The reason Republicans so hate Speaker Nancy Pelosi is because she was tough enough to get almost 300 bills passed in the House, turning the screamer Republicans on their ears. Notice how the Republicans use poisonous character assassination politics to further their agendas to regain political power. These people and their toxic followers always turn on fellow Americans, don't care about fellow Americans, issue death threats against fellow Americans and deny respect to other fellow Americans but demand respect for themselves. What's wrong with this picture? Answer: a lot!







More from the Sarah Palin Fan Club of Fools. Hmmm... so where were these "concerned citizens about America's debt" when George Bush was in office for eight long years? He took a country in the black to a country owing trillions of dollars in only a year of his "stewardship." Why were these same Tea Party people not riled up and angry about Bush and Cheney spending their tax dollars recklessly? Somehow, all this rhetoric about hating taxes is just a smoke screen for wanting someone to abuse, hate and use for their personal punching bags like typical abusers.







The Lying Liars and the Liars Who Love Them = Tea Party and Republican Party:






Woman, if you are a domestic goddess then it must be the Goddess of Meanness and Stupidity, one for each gun barrel:







Can you imagine walking around wearing such a ridiculous sweatshirt emblazoned with a Sarah Palin saying? Another member of the Cult of the Brainwashed:






Straight from the hating racist hearts who are actually speaking the truth about themselves. Clever they are not. These days the Ku Klux Klan (KKK for hip short) is parading around without their white hoods:

Funny News: Italys World Slow Day

Woman in Genoa, Italy, receives citation from cheeky Slow Warden for walking too fast on World Slow Day

From Denny: The Italians want us to slow down and stop to smell the roses - at least for one day. Yesterday they celebrated World Slow Day where everyone slows down the pace of their day and quit rushing around. The special day went by so fast I think they need to extend the celebration to a full week.

In Rome the city offered all kinds of goodies to entice the people, from free public transportation to slamming poetry contests. They even offered free exercise in the form of free yoga and Tai Chi lessons. Being true to the "holiday," the local police handed out mock fines for pedestrians walking too fast.

Who started this fun holiday? World Slow Day began in 2007 as the brain child of Bruno Contigiani, age 62, who is President of the Art of Living Slowly Association. The whole point of this special day is to get people to live at a normal natural speed. He promotes the Association's "14 Commandments" like getting up five minutes earlier to start your day with a leisurely breakfast. He also suggests to make traffic jams a celebration by striking up conversations with fellow stranded motorists.

Other cities in Italy who participated in the event:

Caltanissetta: They offered free transportation on Monday and commuters were gifted with free copies of the "14 Commandments."

Milan and Genoa: These guys were far more cheeky and direct in promoting the holiday celebration. They decided to deputize "Slow Wardens" to chastise pedestrians who were walking too fast and issue them a mock citation. Pedestrians were also cited for taking too direct a route to their destination as well. Makes you wonder if the Slow Wardens went about their day following people to their destinations, clipboard in hand, and determined if the pedestrian was in need of a reprimand for living life too fast or too efficiently. After all, the whole point of World Slow Day is to slow down and savor the journey.

Benevento: They held a competition for the best Haiku poem that best described the day. Guys, haiku is short. You should have asked for a Shakespeare style soliloquy in poetry form. Now that would have been a slow journey - and witty!

Treviso and Palermo: offered free Tai Chi and yoga lessons.

In public parks all around Italy there were offered free Tai Chi and yoga lessons to help people relax and enjoy the special day. "Let's take this one day to stop and think about all the things we miss out on while we're rushing through our lives," Contigiani said.

Turns out that World Slow Day is now honored in 90 cities in 11 countries, including New York, London, Paris and Tokyo. It's linked to the Slow Food Movement.
