The loss of national pride and national direction are bad enough, but we are also losing our sense of humor. They go hand in glove. It is difficult to laugh when bitterness prevails and the urge to cry is so great, and it is difficult to get out of such a mess without a sense of humor. This is, or should be, a problem for those who still think highly of President Obama, as well as for those who don’t now or never did. I can’t seem to recall any time during the past sixty or so years when bitterness and seriousness were so deeply rooted and laughter so restrained. Even the “gallows humor” which prevailed during our wars seems to have been lost. …. I’m waiting for some congresscritter, a member of the vast right-wing conspiracy, to offer legislation replacing the eagle with the dodo bird as the country’s national emblem. -Pajamas Media [...] [...] There is another angle to this, as well.

Do all of your friends fear they will offend you if they send Obama jokes? There are tons of them. There are so many hilarious jokes about this administration, but that is as far as it goes, because the media stinks, Hollywood is dead or dying, and now that is funny to me, because they all reap what they sow. I have to ask has this presidency and the words they have used killed the music for others, because they have killed some of my favorite songs for me. By using the same words repeatedly, I can no longer listen to any songs about CHANGE. Do not play “A change Is Gonna Come” for me, because I may cry. I have downloaded some old blues songs that I use to love on my iPod, but then once I hear those words used again, I cannot listen to it for fear I will tear up and cry. I think his speechwriters are plagiarists for using the same words from some real talented songwriters, because all they did was set around listening to the blues and write the words. I have the low down, dirty rotten Obama blues. Do you get any forwards sent to your email address? Do all of your friends fear they will offend you if they send Obama jokes? There are tons of them.

We may offend someone. However Hollywood is allowed to be as rude as they want to especially at the expense of conservatives, whites, Christians and Southerners. Hollywood lost the ability to produce real humor when they replaced it with crude, rude and sex filled jokes and mean spirited story lines. Hollywood has not been funny in forty years.

We love the climate up in the mountains at about 3,000 feet AMSL, and most of the people are great.
