He said it was to get “actionable intelligence.”

Didn’t he know that waterboarding and stress positions were against the Geneva Convention and all American laws? That the only answers you get are the ones you want to hear, not the actual truth?

Didn’t he consider that these actions will inspire more terrorism instead of making us more safe?

Play him off, Keyboard Cat!

Here’s my tweet:

I’m typing on a computer. It’s what I do for both work and play.

If I’m not typing a computer, then I am in a meeting (where I might be typing on a computer), driving, sleeping, or playing with my son. You see, I don’t have much of a life or at least one people would find interesting. Unless you are climbing a mountain, crossing a continent, or making love to a beautiful woman, I’m not interested in your life, either.

But when I do something fun and interesting, then I have something better to do with my time than type on a computer. Therefore, I don’t tweet.

And the guilt is focused on us men. The ads tell us that we must buy sparkling jewels for our women or face the consequences.

The first ad from Helzberg Diamonds. In the ad, a guy gives his girlfriend’s Yorkie a bath. When the girlfriend asks why he’s not watching sports with his friends, he insists “It’s just a game.”

Because we’re not “that guy,” we need to give our women diamonds. Helzberg has other ads with men making handmade love cards, giving their women pedicures, and trying to make the rest of the male population feel inadequate.

Of course, I would like to see “that guy” give his girlfriend’s cat a bath.

That guy is tame compared to this viral video from JCPenney – “In the Doghouse.” This one comes across like a fire-and-brimstone sermon. We men are “held over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider.” We’re scum, and our only salvation is buying baubles.

I agree that a thigh master makes a lousy gift, but my wife asked for a vacuum cleaner for Christmas – seriously. I’m getting her something else. It may not be jewelry, but I won’t be folding laundry.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 2 cups crushed crumbs made from herb seasoned stuffing mix
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 6 eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves

Preparation:

Drain spinach well by pressing in colander and using paper towels to remove excess moisture. Crush enough herb stuffing cubes to make 2 cups of crumbs. Mix with spinach and remaining ingredients in large bowl. Roll into 1″ balls. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place balls on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 10 minutes. Makes about 50 appetizers.

To freeze ahead, make appetizers and freeze unbaked. Bake, frozen, in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 14-18 minutes until hot and crisp.

The great thing is you can also easily add other ingredients without changing other amounts, temp or cook time.  I have made them with bacon bits and sausage before.  Or you can spice them up with a little Cajun seasoning.  Its good to keep your guests in mind – nix the meat if there are vegetarians and ditto for the spices if you have an older crowd.

JJ wanted me to post this video. It’s one of his favorites on YouTube, and I’d rather have him visiting my site instead of there.

But ready to be President? I’m not sure.
