Back On Earth: Please give me patience – and hurry!
http://backonearthblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/please-give-me-patience-and-hurry.html
Friday, May 07, 2010. Please give me patience – and hurry! This came past the spam filter the other day, and it is worth passing along. It is a prayer that all of us should offer up now and then – or a lot:. 8220;Heavenly Father, help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single father who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with his children. 8220;Heavenly Father, remind us each d...

Back On Earth: May 2010
http://backonearthblog.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 14, 2010. Tar balls: good or bad? As the oil spill in the Gulf gets worse, it gets crazier too. The latest twist is reports of 8-inch (! On a Louisiana beach. Nearby, a biologist found about “25 nickel-sized tar balls per square foot.”. Wow; that’s a lot of crude. But when it balls up, at least it’s easier to clean up. Sort of, of course. It’s still incredibly icky and gooey, but at least it’s not floating in the Gulf or evaporating into the air we breathe. Posted by Thomas Taschinger. Ty Cob...

Back On Earth: Hot tea, cold cash
http://backonearthblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/hot-tea-cold-cash.html
Tuesday, May 04, 2010. Hot tea, cold cash. It is difficult to feel sorry for Starbucks or any food conglomerate, but these days anything is possible. For example, the coffee giant has been sued by some idiot who says he got second-degree burns from tea that was too hot. Good grief; it’s a hot beverage. If you chug it like a sody pop or spill it on your wee-wee, pain will result. Again, what part of “hot” do you not understand? This, I believe, is too much. Is is a cup of coffee or a bowl of fruit? I hope...

Back On Earth: April 2010
http://backonearthblog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. Evicted from a pet cemetery? Further proof that the recession is not over yet:. Critters are being evicted from pet cemeteries. I didn’t even know that was possible. I’ve heard of being evicted from a hotel or restaurant (and even been tossed a time or two myself, but that’s another blog). But who ever heard of being kicked out of a graveyard? I thought that once you were buried, either man or beast, you, uh, pretty well stayed six feet under. This, I believe, is unfair. Now this ...

Back On Earth: Coddling Cushing
http://backonearthblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/coddling-cushing.html
Wednesday, May 12, 2010. If fans were hoping that Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing. Would lose a coveted award because he was exposed as a drug cheat, they got blindsided. Incredibly, he won a second vote for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Granted, it was by a smaller margin – 18-13 over Buffalo safety Jairus Byrd. But as they say in sports, a win’s a win. Last year, Cushing beat Byrd 39-6. So the fact that he was caught using a drug commonly used by steroid abusers means … nothing. Thomas Tasc...

Back On Earth: Solving the road-kill riddle
http://backonearthblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/solving-road-kill-riddle.html
Monday, May 10, 2010. Solving the road-kill riddle. Finally, one innovative jail has figured out a way to save taxpayers a few bucks and kill two birds with one stone. (Actually three.). Have inmates pick up road-kill. This is the best ideas in corrections to come along since orange jumpsuits. Think of the many benefits:. 1) Instead of using highly paid highway workers to fritter away their time on carcass patrol, jail inmates do it for the proverbial “three hots and a cot.”. Let’s give it a try. I cant ...

Back On Earth: A doggone shame
http://backonearthblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/doggone-shame.html
Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Once again, the depravity of the criminal mind astounds us ordinary folk. Up in Edina, Minn., some twisted souls are even … stealing the dog poop bags. Thoughtfully provided by the city. Sad but true. And as a result of this brazen thievery, the city will no longer be able to supply the bags for free to hard-working residents. It did seem too good to last. I guess now Edina-ites will have to use an old Wal-Mart bag or yesterday’s newspaper. Oh, the humanity. Lets give Soviet Social...

Back On Earth: March 2010
http://backonearthblog.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. You have to give biker/jerk Jesse James. He has done something that didn’t seem possible: He has topped Tiger Woods on the Ickiness Scale. Jesse, of course, has become infamous lately for shaming wife Sandra Bullock. With a series of sleazy affairs. While ol’ Jess may not have been able to beat Tiger in the numbers game – and who could match a pro athlete’s stamina? 8211; he made it up (sort of) by choosing quality over quantity. As in low quality. Charming. (Not.). The Church ...
