Cincinnati’s Saturday weather was more like a warm, spring day than the normal cold for the middle of January. But Sunday brought us rain and cooler temps with some cold on the way.
How was your weekend? My wife wasn’t feeling well, so no ballroom dance for us – so we took it easy watching movies on a free access weekend to various movie channels; plus, I had a ‘chance to start redesigning my blogroll. Notice anything?
For your Monday Morning Entertainment, this one makes me laugh.

I can easily recall this important moment from my year in eighth grade. Mr. Adams, our geography teacher, did not assign homework on this night because of an important television event that was about to happen. On this night, a super hero would debut complete with graphics of Boom, Bam, and Pow; and also introduce everyone to a theme song that would live for many years. And to this day, Adam West and Burt Ward are remembered.
Yet, more than 40 years later, reports exist that a certain representative from Minnesota is considering a run for the White House. Some would say that the pug is actually endorsing her candidacy instead of singing along with the theme song. Nonetheless, pets do the darndest things.
Wishing everyone a good week ahead and enjoy the pug!

On Politics
Americans continue to be disgusted with Washington regarding the budget, and there’s no question in my mind that the majority will respond by re-electing the majority of incumbents.
To Speaker Boehner (R-OH) and Rep. Ryan (R-WS): Creating legislation that has no chance of passing is a waste of time and taxpayer money.
CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) didn’t invite Gov. Christie (R-NJ and governor with the highest approval rating) to speak because “he had a bad year” – so they invited Mitt Romney (who conservatives don’t like), Sarah Palin (Nincompoop), and Donald Trump (egotistical blowhard).
Regardless of the party occupying the White House, I don’t agree with the opposing party having any airtime after the State of the Union.

On Potpourri
I try to stay informed, but being away from politics and news for my 10 days in Italy was great! Thus, the first news I saw upon my return agitated me.
Wow – getting stats back to normal isn’t very easy.
CNN’s upcoming separation from Soledad O’Brien is a shame because she is a good journalist – and a pleasant for the early morning. If CNN wants to move to the top of ratings, here are two models: GMA (entertainment and fluff) and Fox Morning (biased inaccuracies). Hey CNN, I want to be informed, but those like me are in the minority.
Thanks for those participating in Time: The Musical. It’s quite the music montage, so I invite you to return for the 50+ songs.
Watching Pope Benedict XVI’s last day was interesting. In recognition to him, I love this one from The Onion.
He obviously carried Ohio to be elected, so good luck to Pope Francis I.
Here’s the latest handbell piece our choir played, which was interesting and surreal. Enjoy Compassion by Jason Krug.
There will be a classic cartoon character post on Saturday.
To send you into the weekend, enjoy The Piano Guys with the Charlie Brown song – and gotta love the people in this video. Have a good weekend! In the words of Garrison Keillor, Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
