  6. Apolitical Aphorisms If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~Jay Leno~ The problem with political jokes is they get elected. ~Henry Cate, VII~ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ~Aesop~ If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven. ~Will Rogers~ Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~Nikita Khrushchev~ When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~Clarence Darrow~ Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. ~Author unknown~ Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. ~John Quinton~ Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. ~Oscar Ameringer~ I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them. ~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952~ A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~Tex Guinan~ I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~Charles de Gaulle~ Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ~Doug Larson~ There ought to be one day -- just one --when there is open season on Congressmen. ~Will Rogers~

  12. Is it proper to put pudding in tea?
  13. We give them packets of M&M's. Actually we enjoy seeing the kids all dressed up in different costumes and them yelling "Trick or Treat". Most of the kids are accompanied by their parents who wait on the street while the kids go to the doors. One of our neighbors has two little girls and the mom brought them to out door as the mom herself was dressed as a witch.
  14. Tonight was Halloween "Trick or Treating" in our neighborhood. We had approximately 60 kids come to our door between 6:00pm and 8:00pm. All of them were very polite. One group of 3 little kids were leaving and one girl said to the others...."she was nice" (meaning my wife.
  15. Some like it hot, some like it cold don't they?

  22. What is the title of the Album? here is a definition of Swamp Pop....it is R&B music, but read on...........http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp_pop
  23. Sea of Love by Phil Phillips Poppy, I’ll bet you didn’t know that this was a swamp pop song. Ville Platte is in Cajun Country and is recognized as the Swamp Pop capitol of the world. Philips was from nearby lake Charles, LA (LOL, I learned this from the book that I am reading). http://youtu.be/EroRtEUmZcU Wow, wonderful performance by Annie Lennox.
  24. While waiting on a few books from the library to become available I am reading "Exploring Cajun Country: A Tour of Historic Acadiana" by Chere Dastuque Coen. It is a short book and I am about 75% finished and have learned a lot and am glad I am reading it. Give it a 3.75/5.
