- Once you realize inflation is immoral it really makes you wonder why anyone would allow it to perpetuate. #

- Just because you call it a "movement" doesn't mean it's not just a fad! Global warming science is NOT settled. #

There are a few things you run across worth sharing. This little video is one I think is worth passing along.
For those of you who find yourself really enjoying a youtube video and want to download it to your computer, I’d like to suggest a plugin for Mozilla Firefox (or Flock), that will allow you to download and watch your favs whenever you want. The Easy Youtube Video Downloader works well to download and VLC is my player of choice.
Tax Payers $$ is a joke

This clip comes from the 80’s TV show Sledge Hammer! It’s interesting how in the 80’s government spending the tax payer’s money was a joke. Now, it’s a reality!!!

Broken GOBOTS for Christmas
Posted by jacobroecker on 26 November 2009 under Family | Be the First to Comment
Mom’s visiting this week and she’s an early riser. So am I. We found ourselves having a few quiet moments this m
orning looking at old family photos. My folks spent a lot of time scanning photos and other memorabilia into a large family database. One item in the database came up today and we took a look and read it. It was our Christmas memories from 1984.
From 1984-1985 Hannah Barbara produced a delightful show known as the “GOBOTS.” It was essentially a knock off of Transformers. It didn’t matter whether it was the “generic” version of something else to us, we liked it. Growing up in a home with three boys leads to enjoying robots, violence, and limited plot development. GOBOTS had all of these.
We had asked for some of the character’s toys for Christmas, and mom and dad were able to indulge their children. You’ll notice reading the image that David and I each had broken GOBOTS as part of our Christmas memories. I know full well what happened, but this morning turned to mom and asked: “Mom, why did you get us broken GOBOTS?”
She looked at me and laughed.
Today our Thanksgiving is full of memories from our Turkey Trot, great food, good conversation, wonderful people, and the occasional jab that “My parents were so mean growing up they brought us “broken GOBOTS.” Which is equally met with mom’s classic response: “We got you what you deserved” exchanged with the classic smile only my mother is capable of portraying.
So far so good. We’re watching the Disney Classic: “That Darn Cat” and enjoying stretching our full stomachs as we lie in various positions around the living room, and the rest of the house. Thank you to the great folks who are away from familiy this year. We’ve kept you in our prayers and hope you can feel them wherever you are.

- Learning the process of genius is more important than learning the results. This should be a mantra for educators. #
