Well, I lost Mocha in January but I’ve gained two more cats!

Aren’t they cute!?!?

So, the other night I was hanging out with JT and MT watching the Pack lose to WVU (sniff, sniff), when I told a really horrible joke. Now, its so bad that it actually makes you chuckle…

Well, to help them get past the horrors that was my joke I went out and found what’s supposed to be the “World’s Funniest Joke” as reported by a group of scientists in England. They told lots of jokes to various ethnic groups and this is the joke that won:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.

He gasps: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator says: “Calm down, I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: “OK, now what?”

Are you laughing yet?

So, I was out with JT and MT the other night watchin’ the Pack lose to WVU (sniff, sniff) and the name of Ron Paul was brought up.

He’s a Congressman from Texas who, although he’s designated as a Republican, is a libertarian. And, he’s planning to run for president! You can check out his site here

here’s an excerpt from his “Freedom Principles”:

  • Rights belong to individuals, not groups.
  • Property should be owned by people, not government.
  • All voluntary associations should be permissible — economic and social.
  • The government’s monetary role is to maintain the integrity of the monetary unit, not participate in fraud.
  • Government exists to protect liberty, not to redistribute wealth or to grant special privileges.
  • The lives and actions of people are their own responsibility, not the government’s.

Wow! I think I could vote for this guy!
