Happy Presidential Joke Day
 
A president walks into a bar...and gets to crack his own jokes for a change.
Presidential Joke Day is celebrated every year on August 11, and despite how it sounds, it's not a day designated for poking fun at the president (that's the

The holiday was created in honor of an infamous joke cracked by  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  on August 11, 1984. During a sound check before a Saturday radio broadcast, Reagan said, "My fellow Americans. I'm pleased to announce that I've signed legislation outlawing the Soviet Union. We begin bombing in five minutes."

Reagan was unaware, however, that the feed was live. Word quickly made its way to the Soviets, who put their military on high alert. Those Ruskies never did have much of a sense of humor.

In celebration of Presidential Joke Day, we've compiled some of the  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  throughout history. A sampling:

"When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'present' or 'not guilty.'" —President Teddy Roosevelt

"Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening." —President Bill Clinton

"These stories about my intellectual capacity really get under my skin. You know, for a while I even thought my staff believed it. There on my schedule first thing every morning it said, 'Intelligence Briefing.'" —President George W. Bush

by the way, CNN stands for Clinton News Network

I haven't seen anybody defend Trump...he's a jerk, that needs to keep his mouth shut.
He says something like this and the media jumps all over it and ignores the plain view corruption hillary is involved in.
Trump's dumb comments don't affect the American people...read the thread about hillarious clinton...lots of that stuff DOES affect the American people.
Stop focusing on unimportant stuff like Trump's off the cuff comments and focus on what clinton has actually done.
We get enough of clinton ignoring from the media.

If you think the kids don't monitor this site, My 10th grader just called me, told me there was a post about Mackey and asked me to ban anyone who says "Evadale sucks"...........lol

National Hand Holding Day – August 9

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Everybody has their preferred technique: some like interlocking, others prefer cupping.   Some like the pinky-link while others prefer being on top…others on the bottom.   Some swing both ways. When it comes to holding hands it is not all about romance.  When you hold the hands of another you are sending the message that the other person is valued, important and noticed.
James Coan of the University of Virginia found that when people hold hands, their brains don’t work as hard to cope with stress.  When we hold hands, (or hug and touch), our bodies release oxytocin.  Its role is to calm and destress, and it is thought that touch triggers the body into producing this hormone.
Touch stimulates the production of oxytocin which, in turn, promotes a desire to touch and be touched. In another study, researchers from the University of North Carolina told couples they would have to give speeches. Before they did so, 100 of the couples sat holding hands for a short time, then they embraced for 20 seconds. Another group of couples rested quietly and were separated from their partners. During their speeches, heart rates and blood pressure rose twice as high in the second group compared to the hand-holders. Research further suggests that oxytocin is the chemical that can give marriage its beneficial effect on health over those that are single.
To hold someone’s hand is to offer them affection, protection or comfort.
A poll of 3,000 people by Abbeyfield in the UK showed that more than half of people couldn’t remember the last time they held their grandparents hand and more than a quarter had never done so. However, almost a fifth of respondents, when asked whose hands they would most like to hold, said it would be the hand of a grandparent who has died.
Just one in twenty respondents had held the hand of their grandma in the last month and only one in twenty five made this contact with their granddad. The report revealed a similar gender trend with parents, while only six percent of those surveyed had never held hands with their mother, twice as many had never held hands with their father.
The poll also revealed that the older you get, the more you regretted that lack of contact. Almost half (48 percent) of respondents over 55, when asked whose hand they would most like to hold, said it would be that of a departed parent.
The majority of respondents (80 percent) associated holding hands with romance but this contact was most popular amongst the young. Of those surveyed aged 17 and under, 64 percent most wanted to hold hands with someone they were attracted to. This figure decreased with age until only 21 percent of those over 55 wanted to hold hands for romance. This older group were most likely to associate holding hands with dying. (15 percent compared to less than two percent of those surveyed aged 17 and under)
Loneliness and depression are rampant in today’s society.  Holding someone’s hand, especially of someone who is isolated, dealing with an illness or elderly can help them to be more resilient against the impact of stress, promote better health and combat their feelings of isolation.
 
Beverly’s Hot Tips For Celebrating Hand Holding Day:
Reach out and touch the hand of someone you love or someone in need.  Not only do they reap the benefit but so do you. Don’t wait until it’s too late and end up regretting that you didn’t grab at the opportunity. Holding hands has the benefits of keeping not only your heart warm, but your hands too…which is really important in the winter months here in Canada. Get past the embarrassment.  Little kids do it naturally to their parents and with their friends…because it feels nice.  
Robert Fulgham (Everything I Learned, I Learned In Kindergarten) said:
. . . Share everything. . .
When you go out in the world,
Watch out for traffic, hold hands,
And stick together. . . .

The Great Divider has not caused but empowered the freaks, loons and morons to come of age. They were always there but not glorified. 
We can now claim that we are now another sex without the need for an actual change, get a stuffed dog and claim it as a service animal, have days/parades to proclaim a sexual preference, have a presidential election where the two parties selected a felon and a reality show host as candidates, etc. 

Exactly the point hippy.   If you have to go thru one of two doors, and you know behind Door #1 is nothing but an abyss, only makes sense to pick Door #2 and see what's behind it.

Neither candidate is ideal, but I KNOW what I'm going to get with Hillary.......and that is scary......
 

You guys don't like a mainstream Republican and you don't like one that won't fall in line with the mainstream Republicans.
lol...is there really any Republican you two would like...doubtful.
And I'll interpret the reckless comment from the GOP...Trump will "wreck" our good old boy system we have put in place...even clinton won't do that...therefore, he must be defeated, even if it means clinton getting elected.

If someone wants illegal drugs, why are they still able to get them?

Hopefully nothing "strange" happens to them.

Sure would be interested to see those same results broken down into groups of those between 25 and 40, between 40 and 50 and between 50 and 60, and attempt to discern a trend.  I have a very strong suspicion that the "superiority of the left" numbers decline as age/wisdom numbers increase.   I am compelled to believe  that, at some point in one's life, one arrives at a conclusion that the nobility of an idea is not as noble as it once appeared when comparing the suggested societal benefit to the true societal cost.   won mite fynd da trend 2 bee unbieleivable
