Is it the cold weather? This woman's been cah-ray-zee for a long time, but now she's bordering on completely off her rocker. I cannot BELIEVE there are people who elected this bimbo:
Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann courted controversy today by claiming that falafel and other "jihadi foods" should be banned from school lunches in the United States.
In an interview with local television station KSTP in Minneapolis, Bachmann explained that after visiting a local elementary school she was shocked to find that falafel - a fried vegetable patty popular in the Arab world - was being served as a option on the vegetarian menu.
Now, instead of being pleased that these schools are taking the opportunity to introduce new foods to kids, she's turning it into a "holy war". What an embarassment.
Space shuttle Endeavour and the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft took off Wednesday morning, Sept. 19,2012 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin the first leg of a mission to deliver the retired shuttle to Los Angeles where it will go on display. The flight will be the last ferry flight of the space shuttle era, capping nearly 35 years of shuttles riding atop modified 747s, counting the approach and landing tests conducted by Enterprise in 1977.
I'm so sad.
Update 8:45 AM: It just flew over Michoud. Now I'm very sad. Farewell, Space Shuttle Program.

During a private fundraiser earlier this year, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told a small group of wealthy contributors what he truly thinks of all the voters who support President Barack Obama. He dismissed these Americans as freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don't assume responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them
Between the world in an uproar and the Saints slump, I'm finding it difficult to be passionate about anything right now. I feel a little helpless. With that said, I'm sharing a little bit of nature's magic to remind myself and others that there still is beauty out there, we just have to look for it.
It's been almost two weeks since Hurricane Isaac visited and I feel as if I'm just getting back to normal.
We didn't experience any real damage, thank God. But we thought the storm was never going to move on during those three days!
Good things come out of forced togetherness, though:
I got to spend some quality time with my beautiful daughter. We did crossword puzzles together and played monopoly. Seems like hurricanes are the only time we play monopoly. She won, of course.
I managed to fit in a few very happy naps in the darkness of our house. It was very, very nice.
We successfully cooked two delectable dinners on the grill, including a pasta dish.
There is something about being stuck at home with no electricity that drives us to want to eat constantly. I got so bad that when we got to get out to buy groceries on the third day I just HAD to have spaghettios. I never did open the can!
We just moved into our house in April, so we got a good idea of her structural strength and how the yard handles several inches of water. Everything passed with flying colors. An extra plus is how cool the house stayed during the three days without electricity.
The yard is clean now: I got a bucket full of fresh acorns for our squirrel and picked up what seemed to be a thousand pine cones. Looking forward to the end of hurricane season.
