Awww Cute Video: Nanny Cat Lays On Paws 4 Vulcan Mind Meld, Soothes Cranky Baby
Maybe the parents are doing something else and the baby feels neglected. Maybe the baby has started teething and he is running a mild fever. Maybe he is just loading up his diaper and going, "Whoa! What is that?!"
Whatever the case the family cat, Stewie, is on the job as Cat Nanny. When Connar begins to fuss Stewie stretches over a paw and ever so gently massages the top of his head to soothe.
It's like the cat said, "My mind to your mind, Star Trek Mr. Spock Vulcan Mind Meld style, rest, child, rest." The baby falls asleep dutifully, listening telepathically to the Cat Nanny on the job. The cat yawns toward the end of the video, reaches forward and carefully kisses the baby's head.
By the way, over four million people have already watched this video.

Funny Baby and Husky Dog Singing For The Camera
From Denny: This will have you laughing so hard. Be careful not to fall off the chair. Check out the father's sock foot up on the wall and hear him snickering in the background while the mother films the funny episode.
The dog is a husky and is named Angel singing along with her human, a baby named Lexi. Lexi is so young her tongue muscles have not caught up with her thoughts she is trying to express. It's as if the dog understands her conversation that probably goes something like this:

The Social Poets: Funny Jon Stewart Mocks Perry Romney 10K Bet
 |
| Jon Stewart (Image via RottenTomatoes.com) |
After all, the average person in Iowa makes a $10 bet not a $10, 000 one. Only rich guys throw money around like that demonstration.
How dumb can you get? In the worst economic depression in 70 years you have a millionaire making expensive bets in front of an audience trying to figure out how to keep their kids in college and pay their mortgage.

The Social Poets: Political Cartoon, Video: Obama And His Fellow Election Pundits
 |

Tis the season of the cartoonish political pundit, spouting off silly opinions that rarely ever come true but sure makes for funny entertainment. This pastel drawing is a classic of mine. It was drawn when George Bush 43 began his campaign for president back in 1998.
The Repbulicans tout how they are gods we the voters are supposed to bow down and worship. You see, they keep their message pretty simple: Worship me; get nothing and like it.

A hearty casserole is always welcome when the weather turns chilly. You might want relief from dining on turkey. Why not try this easy braised sirloin tips recipe?
Besides, it has brain food: mushrooms. During the holiday season it's easy to get frazzled and it sure is fun to know that mushrooms are available to get our overloaded brains back on target. :)

The Soul Calendar: Total Lunar Eclipse Put On Intense Red Display, Photos: 10 Dec 2011

The Soul Calendar: Total Lunar Eclipse Put On Intense Red Display, Photos: 10 Dec 2011: From Denny: The 10 December 2011 total lunar eclipse was the last total lunar eclipse to be seen until April 2014. At least we can view a partial lunar eclipse on 4 June 2012. It was reported to be an intense red, putting on quite a show in the sky. In fact, the type of red color was considered a rare treat.
Of course, when I went out to view it here in south Louisiana all I got was a completely cloudy sky. It's time for me to move up to higher ground, like the mountains. The Gulf Coast just doesn't cut it for proper skygazing. :)
From atmospheric scientist and eclipse expert Richard Keen of the University of Colorado: "During the lunar eclipse, most of the light illuminating the moon passes through the stratosphere, where it is reddened by scattering. If the stratosphere is loaded with dust from volcanic eruptions, the eclipse will be dark. A clear stratosphere, on the other hand, produces a brighter eclipse."

The Social Poets: Check Out This Video: Worlds Fastest Flying Human
 |
| Image via Wikipedia |
What a rush! He looked like a speeding bullet to the camera crew on the ground as he crested the mountain range. He just zoomed on past them, going maybe well over 130 mph? Turns out he was clocked at 250km/hour - which is 155 mph.
Norwegian Espen Fadnes thought this outdoor activity would be a fun experience for the weekend. He has donned his wingsuit and performed this crazy feat so many times he has earned the dubious honor of World's Fastest Flying Human. In fact, last year he jumped off the Swiss Alps in an international competition, taking home the win.
Comfort Food From Louisiana: Cajun Red Beans and Rice

Living in Louisiana, sometimes I forget some people don't know how to make this simple delicious dish. It's seems when I am researching up pops something else that I just know you will want to see.
I've been thinking lately of how to get more beans into our diet by adding to traditional recipes and found some awesome recipes from the various bean grower sites that I will be featuring soon on all my food blogs. If you are not yet sold on beans as a healthy and inexpensive food, this dish would be a great introduction.

Visual Insights: Dennys Photo Gallery: 20 Cute Child Portraits: From Denny: Check out the adorable child portraits I found on one of my "visual vacations" to rest my brain from mind-numbing blog maintenance tasks. Most were taken by their parents and are quite clever in composition.
How do you narrow down the choices to just a few for a post? Well, it wasn't easy, I can tell you that one for sure! I'll probably do a few more of these child photography posts.
I love portraits and the human face that I'm always looking for creative ways to photograph. This should give you some great ideas of how to photograph your new arrival, the sister's cute kids or just when you are out on photo safari in your neighborhood.

The Social Poets: Jon Stewart Mocks Herman Cain Sexual Prowess
|
| Jon Stewart (Image via RottenTomatoes.com) |
Jon questions Herman Cain's excessive denials of knowing but not knowing - in the biblical sense - the parade of women across the 2012 GOP election stage.
He also challenges Cain's concept of sex. Like how can you conduct a 13-year-old affair without having any sex? Who ever heard of a 13-year-long platonic affair? Better yet, who ever heard of paying off women with whom you never had sex? Does that make any sense?
Jon postulates that Cain must be the worst guy in bed, the worst liar or the worst at getting lucky. Anyway you look at it he sure isn't presidential material for this country. We like our leaders to be virile and capable of sealing the deal. After all, what kind of lousy negotiator would Herman Cain be with another world leader if he can't even get sex in a 13-year-old affair?
