New Years Resolutions for CATS
It’s a new year and like my human counterpart, I’ve made some
resolutions.
(May I be forced to roll around in catnip all day long if I stray one
iota!)
1. I will remember that some of my humans possessions are NOT toys.
(Oops! Caught me!)
2. I will pay attention to my owner at all times, not just before a
meal.
3. I will eat whenever I am hungry, heartily and without guilt, until I
am full. When finished, I will lick my chops grandly to indicate that
indeed that was the finest meal I have ever tasted.
4. I will play with passion. I will rip my toys into shreds whenever
possible. I will lose many of them under the sofa. I will also spend
many hours and gain much enjoyment from the boxes they come in.
5. I will (almost) always use the litter box and not the house plants.
6. I will only scratch designated scratching posts.
7. I will avoid territorial disputes with other cats. (whenever
possible)
8. I will not play Herd of Thundering Wildebeests Stampeding Across the
Plains of the Serengeti over any humans' bed while they're trying to
sleep.
9. I will not play "dead cat on the stairs" while people are trying to
bring in groceries or laundry , or else one of these days, it will
really come true.
10. I will remember computer and TV screens do not exist to backlight my
lovely tail.
11. I will only reguritate food and furballs on a tiled surface.
12. I will sleep as much as possible each and every day. The importance
of this cannot be overestimated.
13. I will not wake before dawn to play games that require my humans
participation, and then incessantly request their presense.
14. I will forget all the above and just BE MYSELF!
15. Lastly, I vow never again to waste precious nap time making New
Years resolutions. This delusional practice is better left to humans. We
cats have 9 lives to live, thank you very much!

Top 10 Reasons Why Smoking Stinks
Smoking used to be so in vogue that tobacco companies branded their
products with hip characters like “Joe Cool” Camel and the Marlboro Man,
who rides off into a cloud of cigarette smoke at sunset. But smoking
isn’t cool anymore. Both cigarette manufacturers and smokers have had to
answer to the mounting evidence that proves smoking kills. But just in
case death isn’t enough to scare you into dumping this addiction, here
are the top 10 reasons you should quit smoking – today. Plus: Are you
ready to quit? Take our quiz...

>From BizarreNews:
- FDA considers approving cloned foods -----------
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration was
expected to deem meat and diary from cloned animals safe
for human consumption. The FDA examined the issue for
six years and asked producers of cloned livestock to not
deliver foodstuffs to markets until their official ruling
on the food's safety, the Wall Street Journal said Friday.
It's expected to take at least three years for meat and
diary products from cloned offspring to reach store shelves
but the pending decision would be a landmark decision for
biotech companies as cloned cattle, for example, fetch at
least $15,000 for copies of prized bovines. Food retailers
expressed concern over a failure of effective government
oversight of cloned livestock, saying, "consumers will lose
the ability to choose clone-free products." Some consumers
view clone-derived foodstuffs with disdain, calling the
foods "Frankenfood" but Jeffery Barach with the Grocery
Manufacturers Association said consumers will welcome the
quality products as they become more educated. Australia,
Canada, France, Japan and New Zealand permit the use of
livestock clones but their foods rarely enter the consumer
market. The European Union bans the importation of U.S.
meat amid concerns over the use of hormones and U.S. food
companies face obstacles in European markets that are
unlikely to respond favorably to consuming cloned products.
- Hotel's weirdest lost item: 4-year-old boy -------
EDINBURGH, Scotland - A Scottish hotel said the strangest
item left behind by guests in 2007 was a 4-year-old boy
who was accidentally left by his parents. The boy was left
at the Travelodge in Edinburgh amid chaos caused by his
parents' rush to attend a family party, the (Glasgow)
Daily Record reported. The parents quickly realized their
mistake and returned to find the boy playing with toys in
the hotel room. "The couple were very flustered. They had
lots of luggage to pack in their car and they were already
late for a family party," a source at the hotel told the
Daily Record. "It was a bit chaotic and they left the boy."
"They did collect him quickly but he is still counted as
the strangest item of lost property we've had," the source
said. Other Travelodge locations also reported their most
bizarre lost items of 2007. One Scottish location reported
a suitcase full of wigs and glasses was left behind by a
guest while other European locations reported an urn of
ashes and a living Persian cat, the Daily Record reported.

\ _ Chelsea Clinton a rebel -- vegetarian
>-. / /|
`-.__.'
Krogg
Chelsea Clinton, whose father was once the U.S. president
and whose mother is seeking the same office, rebelled in her
youth by becoming a vegetarian. While traveling with her
mother, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., on the campaign
trail, the youngest Clinton told one potential supporter who
happened to be a vegan her unusual story of rebellion, The
New York Post said Sunday. "My mother is asking these
questions partly because I got home when I was 11 and just
declared I was no longer eating meat," the 27-year-old said
during the recent visit to New Hampshire. Chelsea Clinton
has become an integral part of her mother's bid for the
Democratic presidential nomination, focusing on drawing in
younger supporters for her mom's campaign. The Post said
at one recent function, the young Clinton even used a bit
of the charm typically associated with former President
Bill Clinton. Talking with a young male college student,
Chelsea asked him for his support and then flashed him
a wink, apparently for emphasis.

New York not getting safer for birds
New York officials are cracking down on poachers trapping
pigeons for sale to out-of-state bird hunters and possibly
even restaurants. Bird lovers say the bird-nappers drive
through the city in the early morning, tempting birds with
seed and then trapping them in large nets, The New York Post
reported. The birds are then sold for $5 or $10. Animal
advocates gained the ear of City Councilman Tony Avella,
who passed their complaint along to the city, the Post said.
In response, Health Department Commissioner Thomas Frieden
said he is starting a coordinated effort with other city
and state agencies to combat the practice. Concerned
citizens who witness pigeon harvesting can inform
authorities by calling the city's 3-1-1 citizen access
hotline.

Things Men Wish Their Better Half Knew
1. Express yourself. It makes us proud, even if someone thinks you’re
wrong.
2. You look hot in running shoes and shorts. And that top thingy with
the stripes.
3. Bare, tan shoulders are underrated.
4. If you think I’m speeding now, you should see me drive when you’re
not in the car.
5. If you’re truly interested in us, don’t play hard to get.
6. Shopping is a chore, not an activity.
7. When I mess up, go ahead and tell me–once.
8. No question need ever be asked through a closed bathroom door if I’m
inside. I love you less with each syllable you utter.
9. I’m hot for you, not your sister or your friend or your coworker.
10. My guy friends. Not only are they not negotiable, they’re your best
sign that I’m not a whack job.
11. Don’t be afraid to ditch the makeup. Natural is sexier.
12. Leave the eyebrows alone. Plucked ain’t pretty.
13. You can make love with us any time you want. Seriously.
14. When the game is on, we will pay attention to you if you’re nice
about it. Bark, and we shut down.
15. I don’t ask for directions because I’m just happy to be driving.
Anywhere.
17. We crave hugs and hand-holding too.
18. But you can make love with us any time you want. Did we mention
that?
20. Though the exhaust note of a Porsche Boxster is pretty darn fine,
too.
22. When you get angry over some stupid little pointless thing, I
question your intelligence.
24. If I offer my help while you’re getting ready, it means you’re late.
25. Never ask me to pick out your outfit. (See above.) I will invariably
getit wrong and make us even more late.
26. Giving me two or three choices, however, can be fun.
29. When you call us at work “just to chat,” we’re not really listening;
we’re checking our e-mail.
30. Spring means baseball and skirts. Doesn’t need to be a mini-skirt;
it’s been a long winter.
32. We don’t mind being told we look good. Just don’t call it a “cute
outfit.”
37. Make us laugh and we’ll want to hang around.
38. Yes, I laugh really loud around the guys. And I always will, no
big deal.
39. Sure, men stereotypically like to solve a woman’s problems. But a
woman who solves her own while we watch? Instant turn on.
40. You can pick the movie, but have a reason.
42. Sometimes we wonder why any woman would want to be with us, much
less someone as amazing as you. So, thanks.
43. Anytime you cook for us, we’re happy.
44. If you can hit a golf ball 150 yards, we just might fall in love.
45. No, I don’t remember what he said next. Or she. Or anybody, for that
matter. I’m a guy, not a tape recorder.
46. We love you even more because you know we need to go out with the
guys once in a while.
47. And we love it when you hang with us guys, too.
48. We have a keen sense of imminent danger. It sounds like, “Do you
think she’s pretty?”
49. Don’t rely on us for keeping you up on the news.
50. Never say, “I know you better than you know yourself.” Nobody does.

One night while I was cat-sitting my daughter's indoor
feline, it escaped outside. When it failed to return the
following morning, I found the beast clinging to a branch
about 30 feet up in a spindly tree. Unable to lure it down,
I called the fire department.
"We don't do that anymore," the woman dispatcher said. When
I persisted, she was polite but firm. "The cat will come
down when it gets hungry enough."
How do you know that?" I asked.
"Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?" she said.
Two hours later the cat was back, looking for breakfast.

During a county-wide drive to round up all unlicensed dogs,
a patrolman signaled a car to pull over to the curb.
When the driver asked why he had been stopped, the officer
pointed to the big dog sitting on the seat beside him.
"Does your dog have a license?" he asked.
"Oh, no," the man said, "He doesn't need one; I always do
the driving."

A friend and his wife were considering traveling to Alaska
for a trip that the husband had long dreamed of taking. He
kept talking about how great it would be to stay in a log
cabin without electricity, to hunt moose, and drive a dog
team instead of a car.
"If we decided to live there permanently, away from civil-
ization, what would you miss the most?" he asked his wife.
She replied, "You."

It is Christmas eve. A burglar breaks into the home of a
prominent local lawyer. He takes the lawyer's Christmas
gifts from under the tree leaving the packages for the
wife and children alone. As he is leaving the house, he is
apprehended by a policeman.
He confesses to what he has done but tells the policeman
that he can't be arrested.
The policeman asks why, and he responds, "Because the law
states that I'm entitled to the presents of an attorney."

When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the
Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but
this is what they heard;
"Heavenly Father, we come before you to ask your forgiveness. We seek
your direction and your guidance. We know your word says, "Woe to those
who call evil good." But that's what we've done.
We've lost our spiritual equilibrium. We have inverted our values. We
have ridiculed the absolute truth of your word in the name of moral
pluralism. We have worshiped other gods and called it multiculturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.
We've exploited the poor and called it a lottery. We've neglected the
needy and called it self-preservation. We have rewarded laziness and
called it welfare. In the name of choice, we have killed our unborn. In
the name of right to life, we have killed abortionists.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building
self-esteem. We have abused power and called it political savvy. We have
coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it taxes. We have
polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of
expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers
and called it enlightenment.
Search us, oh, God, and know our hearts today. Try us. Show us any
wickedness within us. Cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide
and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of
the State of Kansas, and that they have been ordained by you to govern
this great state.
Grant them your wisdom to rule. May their decisions direct us to the
center of your will. And, as we continue our prayer and as we come in
out of the fog, give us clear minds to accomplish our goals as we begin
this Legislature. For we pray in Jesus' name, Amen."

Snopes Says:
The prayer Rev. Wright used wasn't of his own crafting; it was a version
of one written in 1995 by Bob Russell who offered it at the Kentucky
Governor’s Prayer Breakfast in Frankfort, Kentucky.

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked Out
during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is
pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 Of those
calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving
international requests for copies of this prayer from India ,
Africa and Korea.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio Program, "The
Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program
than any other he has ever aired.
With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our Nation and
wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "one
nation under God."
If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends "If you
don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."
Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone On your
email list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by The world.

"Last week I told my wife a man is like wine, he gets better
with age. So She locked me in the cellar."
—Rodney Dangerfield
"I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars. I look around for
1-foot bars that I can step over.
—Warren Buffett
"Let's get right to it. A Jew, a Christian, and a Muslim,
walk into a bar. The Jew says to the Muslim... See, I have
no idea what they say because there's a writers' strike."
- Jay Leno
"It's been a long time. As you all know, two months ago,
the Writers Guild of America went on strike, and it's been
a very tough time, not only for our show, but for a lot of
people in the entertainment industry. And possibly worse —
America has been forced to read books and occasionally even
speak to one another."
- Conan O'Brien
"I grew up in an environment of strikes. Britain in 1970s,
everyone on strike. Coal miners, postal workers, the
dentists. I'll never forget the British dental strike of
1979. It's still going... they never resolved it."
- Craig Ferguson
"Congratulations to Barack Obama, the big winner in the
Iowa caucus. He got 57 percent of the youth vote and 100
percent of Iowa's black vote... a guy named Larry."
- Jay Leno
"I was home last night, moisturising my chest, watching
TV, and they announce the big winners in Iowa are Barack
Obama and Mike Huckabee. They cut live to Mike Huckabee's
headquarters where he's giving his victory speech, and
next to him — it's Chuck Norris! Now, we have been doing
The Walker Texas Ranger Lever, where I show old clips from
his show. We did it for four years, and it put Chuck Norris
back on the map. Now Chuck Norris has reenergized Mike
Huckabee... ergo, I made Mike Huckabee the winner of the
Iowa caucus."
- Conan O'Brien
"There's a huge meteor shower tonight! Scientists say it's
the biggest display of falling stars since 'Celebrity
Apprentice'."
