"Scary" Videos

These kinds of videos are my all time favorite...

Troops for McCain

So I recognize that the majority of the people probably reading our blog are going to vote for McCain, but just in case someone supports Obama reads our blog, you could say it is saturated. And also, this helps our fellow McCain supporters with ammunition when talking with people who have drunk the silly Obama-koolaid.



I got this one off our friend George - George - George of the jungle's blog. George you can add that one to your list. That one is my favorite.

Regarding my previous post, I could never had said it better myself. I have no idea who this woman is but strap on your seat belt...

Why I Could Never Vote For Obama

I know I said I wouldn't post any more political stuff until after the election, but... We talked about abortion today in class and someone told me about this video. You should watch this. Again, I don't think anyone who reads this blog will be shocked, but this made my skin crawl. When you watch this, pay very careful attention to the beginning...its kind of cut off. He is pointing to and talking about his daughters when he says the following...


I don't care if Obama or any other politician - black, white, green, purple, republican, democrat, Christian, Muslim, Wiccan, or any other possibility - were I to agree with them on every other possible political issue, I would never vote for them if they viewed a baby as some kind of punishment. If you're voting for Obama - you must consider what kind of a man would say something like that. Even if it were a man on the street I would feel the same way. Where will he lead us if he so devalues life in such a way as this? I'll stop now.
Just one more though...

Hey Kids! Want Some Garbage For Christmas?

I couldn't believe this. I was watching the Price Is Right today while eating lunch. On the second showcase in the showcase-showdown one of the prizes was a game room with a collection of games. In the back of the display they had what looked like a copy of Joel Osteen's book. So I Googled "Your Best Life Now - The Game." Maybe you already know this, but there is a board game made after Osteen's book. If you want a review of the game click here.

It's unbelievable to me that this guy has reduced God's blessings to a roll of the dice. If you just play "the game" right, you can have your best life now! What a joke.

John 6:63-69

63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64But there are some of you who do not believe." knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and (For Jesus who it was who would betray him.) 65And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father." 66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67So Jesus said to the Twelve, "Do you want to go away as well?" 68Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God."

Praise God. Where else would we go?

Next Season's Dancing With the Stars

A friend sent me this at work and I thought it was funny.

A few weeks ago I posted my thoughts on Dr. Mohler's book Atheism Remix. It's a great book. You should read it. Here's why...

There is a growing public awakening of atheism. However, its not just a passive atheistic movement. The reason this movement is being called the New Atheism is because they are louder, more organized, and "purpose driven." They want their message out and they want people who believe in God quieted. For good. Is this just me talking about random stuff that fires me up? Kind of. But here's proof? Check this out. Richard Dawkins, our favorite "scientist" is a part of a group putting up signs on British buses that say, "There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life." They received over $113,000 in donations to put up these signs. C'mon now. We need to have pay attention to what is going on in the world and be prepared...not just the garbage surrounding the election.

Georgia Tech Ranked!

Debuting this week in the BCS College Football Poll - #18 Georgia Tech. They are also tied for first place in the ACC.

This is very exciting considering they were supposed to be terrible this year running that new triple-option offense. They won a good game this past weekend against Clemson to sneak into the polls. Go Jackets!

Don't Mess With Texas

I just got back from Austin, TX. My first business trip. It was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about the software that we use. I was really excited about going because I have never been to Texas. Well, we stayed in downtown Austin. It was really pretty. I had a huge picture window view of the main drag headed to the capital building. It was really neat. We ate a lot of food. NO JOKE, I gained 5 pounds. You think I am kidding. I am going to have to sacrifice my sweets in order to loose that 5 pounds now. We went to "Mexican" a bunch. First thing to say about that is, it is not Mexican. No body ever had cheese dip. Which is like the only reason I ever really like going to Mexican. I can make my own tacos and burritos. So, I was a little bummed. I got to eat a lot of different cool food. It was really neat. Another cool thing was that all the good food that we ate came out of trailers. It was kind of a joke there at the Texas Bankers Association. Everything good comes out of a trailer or the back of a truck. They were right though, it was awesome. All in all I had a really good time. Glad to be home though to get back into my normal routine.

Last thing, I just loved this. On the way home (Dallas to Louisville) we had 2 military people get on our plane. The pilot came over the loud speaker and said just wanted to let you know of 2 special passengers (not that we all weren't special) seriously he said that part too, he announced their names and what they did. They were medics. The entire plane cheered for them. Then 2 men in first class gave up their seats for them to sit in. I just thought that was very patriotic and kind. One of the gentlemen that gave up his seat came back and sat next to me. It was a really neat thing he did. I let him know that I thought he was a super nice guy for doing that and that those soldiers probably felt super appreciated. Those types of things give you the warm fuzzes. Which reminded me of every time I fly in and out of Atlanta there is always a troop of soldiers coming through and the entire airport gives them a standing ovation as they march through. NEATO!

Joe the Plumber looks like Brad Arnold, the lead singer for 3 Doors Down - sans the hair.












I'm just sayin'

On another note I watched Letterman last night where John McCain was his guest - finally. It started out pretty funny. McCain kept a good sense of humor. However, I have lost all interest and respect for David Letterman - not that I had a lot to begin with. McCain was upbeat and well mannered whereas Letterman was phrasing every one of his questions in a way to simply say, "I think you, Sarah Palin, and all of your policies are a joke." He got very nitpicky when he asked McCain to name the "terrorists" that Palin had accused Obama of hanging out with. Of course McCain brought up William Ayers. Then Dave said, "She said 'terrorists' not 'terrorist.'" (As if being associated with only ONE terrorist is ok) Basically Dave was asking him to name more since she put an "S" on the end. Seriously? Is that what Letterman has lowered himself to? He said during the "interview" that he (Dave) was an independant and didn't belong to a party. YEAH RIGHT! Independant of what?

This is the reason I have sworn off politics until Nov. 5. I thought I'd catch a break and get some of the lighter side last night, but I was wrong. Here is an interesting link to further illustrate my point and frustration.

Homemade Sausage

I've been wanting to do this for weeks. For our anniversary/birthdays my parents got us a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer (we love it). We added on the meat grinder and sausage stuffer attachment. You know how I am. I love to experiment with new foods. So here it is. This is homemade apple cinnamon chicken sausage. Here's how I made it:

2lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast / 1lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
-I ground it at home (run through the grinder twice), you can buy it pre-ground at the store
1 Fuji or Honeycrisp Apple (grated with peel - the peel keeps the fiber and adds color)
1 Small Sweet Onion (finely diced)
I don't remember all the measurements, but the spices I used were:
-Cinnamon, Sage, Nutmeg, Thyme, Salt, Pepper
1 cup Apple Cider

Combine all the ingredients - its best to mix it by hand - then refrigerate for 2 hours minimum.
(I sauteed the onion in apple cider - let it cool - then add it to the mix)

That's it. You can then make them into patties if you don't have a way to stuff them.
I used collagen casing which is beef protein. It's cheap. You can buy it online. It lasts forever refrigerated. It's way less-gross than hog casing. It actually feels like paper - very thin paper. You can't even see it when you stuff it. After you stuff it just twist it into links, but be careful to not over fill the casing or it will burst during this part. You can cook immediately. It cooks up just like any sausage but it tastes like chicken.

We had several people over for dinner and everyone liked it. Even Shana. Chicken sausage is the way to go. It's really healthy and tastes good and you can make any kind of sausage - just use ground chicken instead of pork. I'm going to try turkey next.

Gone Camping...

Be back Sunday.

Detox

So last night I felt like I was in detox. I turned on the TV and there it was...the debate. However, instead of watching it, I turned off the TV...with Shana's help. She caught me a few times sneaking off to my computer where they were broadcasting it on Foxnews.com. But I felt that frustration again because they had a comment bar on the side of the screen where people were allowed to prove their idiocy. Then Will Farrell saved the day. Yes, Will Farrell. Bryan and Danielle let us borrow his best of SNL dvd. It was hilarious. So here's what I have to say to the debate...we all just need MORE COWBELL!!

Quick, Go Watch This Video!

You need to go see this hilarious SNL Video that never made it to air. I wonder why? It's slightly political, but more about the bailout. Copyright something-or-other may cause them to remove it so watch it fast!

Thanks to George for making me aware of this.

Pigskin Pickem

All you sports fans out there, especially you men who do all this fantasy team stuff. I have a delema. I am pretty sure I know what my team response it going to be, but seriously put yourself in my shoes. I was playing pigskin pickem with my team and was doing really well I might add, especialy for a girl. I was tied for 2nd place and all the men were at the bottom of the rankings. Well, this week I totally forgot to do my picks, super stinks man. So, obviously I got no points and that put me in last place. stinks stinks stinks. Part of me says forget it I quit, but part of me wants to try and come from behind again to do well, but there is also a chance that I can never recover. I have a mentioned this really stinks. I started out with a lot of trash talk, and now have to eat some humble pie because I am last. I really want to quit. What do you think you would do in this situation. Seriously, what do you think YOU would do.

Did the Pope get it right?

This isn't political is it? I think the pope might have gotten this one right...

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI says the global financial crisis shows the futility of money and ambition

Befnedict says that "now with the collapse of big banks we see that money disappears, is nothing and all these things that appear real are in fact of secondary importance." He urges those who build their lives "only on things that are visible, such as success, career, money" to keep that in mind.

The pontiff was speaking Monday as he opened the works of a meeting of 253 bishops at the Vatican.

Benedict says "the only solid reality is the word of God."

Interesting.

New US Video...We're finally back

We finally sat down and made another video, and yes, I said we. Shana joins me on this one. I know its a little long, but a lot has happened since the last time we posted anything meaningful. Enjoy.

You've Been Barak Rolled

A few months ago I posted about being Rick-rolled. Remember that? This is way funnier. (thanks to George for posting this)

The Housing Crisis

I found this video on YouTube. It's about the bailout. I think its worth your time to check it out.
