I’m turning 50 today

Here is a list of some changes that have occurred in my lifetime.

Compact cars were only found in Europe and sub-compact cars only in the junkyard

10cent

A candy bar cost 10 cents and gas was 31.9 cents a gallon

You went out for pizza and had milk delivered.

A mobile phone was one with a long cord

Big_computer

A computer took up the whole room.

A TV was furniture not a wall hanging.

You had 5 channels to choose from on the TV, unless you had UHF, then you could have as many as ten or eleven.

If you missed your favorite TV show don’t worry they’ll show it again in the summer.

Surround sound took two radios tuned to the same station placed in opposite end of the room.

Joy gets it right in the wrong way

“Obama is being bashed for doing the View instead of meeting world leaders,” Behar, a co-host of The View and outspoken liberal comedian, tweeted. “Maybe he’d rather talk to me than Netanyahu. Ever think of that?” She also tweeted a photo from Obama’s appearance on the show, which she described as a “lovefest.”

Why Yes Joy we did think of that and that my dear is the problem.

When the leader of the free world has other leaders at his doorstep and many of those leaders are from parts of the world where our soldiers are dying.

He would rather meet with you.

When one leader stands on the podium of the UN General Council and warns of the impending demise of another member nation and is in active pursuit of the means to bring about that end, when the leader of the targeted nation pleads to meet with our President,

Our President would rather chat with Joy Byhar.

While Al Qaida bask in their recent victories

He would rather pose for pictures with the “Girls of The View”

Sunday Music: Where I Stood

By Missy Higgins

She put on an absolutely incredible show yesterday in Seattle

Note: For those of you who noticed, I did in fact do this song on a Sunday a while back. This video is different and they took the old one down so I figured having Missy in town was as good a reason as any to repost it.
