A New Years Wish, From Me And Mine To You And Yours . . . . .

 

Happy New Year 2011

Throughout all of 2011..
May you always make the right moves.

 

May your cup runneth over with love.

May you always find shelter from any storm.

May you remain good looking and looking good!

May you find the perfect diet for your soul.
(If this face doesn't make you want to stop eating sausage, nothing will.)

May you find perfect balance in the company you keep.

May you have as much fun as you can before someone makes you stop.

 

May the worst thing that happens to you come in slobbery pink and furry tan.

May you manage to make time for siesta.

May all the new folks you meet be interesting and kind.

 

May your accessories always harmonize with your natural beauty!

Should your mouth be bigger than your stomach, may you have a chewing good time!

May you always know when to walk away and know when to run. 

And may your friends always bring you joy!

MAY YOU HAVE A

WONDERFUL NEW YEAR

 
FILLED WITH LOVE,

HAPPINESS, AND HOPE.

From Me And Mine, To You And Yours . . .

Merry Christmas To All With Peace On Earth And Goodwill Toward Men!

Opinion polls . . . . Just whose “OPINION” do they reflect anyway?

 

 

Has anyone ever called you to ask you to participate in one of those so-called “Opinion Polls”?

If they have, have you listened to just how the questions are worded to elicit a specific answer?

Back during the campaign time for this last mid-term election, John McCain was really worried about losing his long held U.S. Senate seat.  So he had all the registered republicans in the state “Polled” via telephone and each of the questions began with “Do you agree or disagree with Senator McCain's position that . . . . . “ and each question was very pointedly finished in a manner that any Republican would agree with, that is unless they weren’t really a true Republican.  After each so-called “Poll”, about three days later, the local news stations and newspapers would run a story on how more Arizonans agreed with John McCain’s position on one thing or another than his opponents.

I am a registered Republican and I received about a half dozen of these calls, and since I do not like talking to an automated phone polling machine I would ask if I could talk to a real person, which confused the machine so much that it would eventually hang up on me and never did get MY personal opinion on Senator McCain’s performance since he has been in the Senate.

I have some, but not many, liberal friends and they tell me that most of the liberals have received polling questions in almost the exact same manner.

So, MY question is this – JUST WHO’S OPINION ARE THEY LOOKING FOR ANYWAY?
