Dinosaur Cakes

Today, I spent a little time watching the Dinosaur Cake competition on the Food Network. I haven’t done this in quite awhile. What fun! Now, I’m watching National Treasure with Nicolas Cage. I love the National Treasure movies.

One of my circuit breakers tripped tonight and my refrigerator and water heater had check lights come on. It took a while to figure out that the breaker tripped. Now, I just have to figure why it tripped. It seems okay now. Hopefully, it won’t happen again too soon.

I’m currently reading Devil’s Corner by Lisa Scottoline. I don’t like it as well as the other books of hers I’ve read, but it is still pretty good. Once I’ve finished this book, it’s back to the library since I’m out of books to read from there. I still have a few on my iPhone via Kindle that I can read and today I downloaded the iFlow app on my iPhone which supposedly gives access to 40,554 free books.

Too True!

You may have seen the following, but it’s still pertinent:

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...
So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT
AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days

Until next time…
