POPSCooking With My Punk Ass Little Sister...
Then she left home and became a woman while I married a cattle rancher and said goodbye, essentially forever, to my beloved repertoire of gourmet cuisine. Betsy graduated from college, lived in various big cities, and now resides in Austin, Texas with her tech-nerd husband, Matt, where she spends her days cooking all the food snob dishes I so unselfishly taught her to make so many years ago. And she calls me as she’s eating them and makes me cry real tears. Then I go fry up another pork chop and get over myself.

POPSQuotes from McCain's Wacko spiritual advisers Please tell me this isn't reality. Because if it is, we are all living in a very warped parallel universe of insanity. I have only one thought for anyone who listens to the nonsense put out by some clergy people and that is: JUST BECAUSE THEY WEAR A ROBE OR JUST BECAUSE THESE HUMANS (and I use that term lightly) ACT LIKE THEY ARE A GOOD FRIEND TO GOD, DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE NOT CRAZY! (If anyone uttered the sounds these wacks, mouth off and didn't have pastor, reverend minister, parson or preacher in front of their names... They would be laughed at and then carried off to a padded cell!) http://www.thethinkingblue.com/MCCAINADVISERS.html
