Warriors Pearl Foundation: New Funny St. Patricks Day Design: Irish BS

Irish BS Men's Baseball Jersey

Warriors Pearl Foundation: New Funny St. Patricks Day Design: Irish BS: From Denny:  Ever heard of "Irish Obedience Training?"  Yeah, me neither!  Because we all know the Irish storytellers are irrepressible - and full of mischief like their fabled leprechauns.  Sport your amusing support of all the frivolity and green beer on St. Patrick's Day with this new look from denny lyon designs at Cafe Press.  Plenty of other products available in this design so you have plenty to choose from over at Denny Lyon Gifts!

The proceeds go to help support those groups who are housing and helping homeless female military veterans get off the streets.  Denny Lyon (yeah, that's me) is a journalist-blogger (so bored with homogenized news I started my own blogs just to entertain myself and my readers!), photographer and Louisiana artist intensely interested in social issues.

I saw a news report on NBC News, Nightly News with Brian Williams, about the more than 5,000 homeless female military vets that the Pentagon was not helping so I decided to start this fund raising effort over at Cafe Press (Denny Lyon Gifts) to help raise funds for the women.  The majority of these former female vets end up on the streets because of PTSD from being raped while serving in the military....

A Truth Journal: Save The Economy: How Prez Obama Can Push GOP to Settle Sequestration Now

A Truth Journal: Save The Economy: How Prez Obama Can Push GOP to Settle Sequestration Now: From Denny:  As usual Washington is frustrating the country - and the world markets - with its typical bickering and jockeying for dominant position on the latest issue.  The American people want our politicians to solve the problems of the country.  The politicians and their lobbyist handlers are in opposition, pushing only their own agendas.

Too many in Congress are privately talking about allowing the Sequestration to go through with the deep cuts - for several months until at least June or July.  They want to see how loudly the public howls about their economic pain of not receiving paychecks and then forced to empty their savings accounts to pay bills.  Are you kidding me?  Who are these Bozos?

Ouch Outrageous Obnoxious and Odd: Why Russians Dashboard Cams Catch So Many Funny Things: From Denny:  When you live in a police state country, stuffed to the gills with corrupt police and politicians, the average Russian takes measures to get the record straight.

Come on; it's common global knowledge the old Cold War intelligence community - the dreaded ruthless KGB - and the current Russian drug cartels basically run Russia, though the public is demanding serious reform. The average Russian knows...

Comic Jimmy Kimmels Plan To Save The U.S. Post Office

From Denny:  These are outrageous times.  To really save the post office and pull it out of huge debt is to start sending snail mail cards, letters and packages.  Really?  Well, yeah, that obvious tactic would work and is a sensible one. After all, the post office lost over $1 billion just in the last quarter of 2012 - and that included the holiday season of which they apparently did not get much of a share of the business.

But what debt answer would be a lot more creative and fun?  Comic Jimmy Kimmel has the answer.  He advocates the President legalize marijuana and then put the U.S. Post Office to be the only guys who can deliver it.  Outrageous?  Maybe, uh, hmmm.... it's actually a monopoly idea that would work!  Yay! Capitalism at work!  :)

That aside - because we know it will never happen - then how about Kimmel's latest answer to the real world U. S. Post Office Gear the agency is planning to sell?  The agency has teamed with a Cleveland supplier for post office uniform wear that might prove useful as a Halloween costume - or stealing social security checks out of mailboxes from trusting elderly folks.

We all know that the cosmetic industry is a multi-billion dollar happy place.  Kimmel suggests "why not sell a fragrance" promoted by the post office?  Here Jimmy Kimmel promotes "Manila" as the upscale new fragrance to hit the market place.  Enjoy your grin as you coast into the weekend.  Ah... that feels better, now doesn't it?

Awww Cutest Baby Bounce Dance with Dad Video

From Denny:  What's a blogger to do?  This Baby Bounce Dance is too cute.  Ethan is only 17 months old and really has good rhythm and busts some great moves while sucking on that all important pacifier.  He certainly stole the show from his performing Dad.

He was spotted wandering closer on stage to join up with his singing Dad at a New Year's performance in Irving, Texas.  His father, Coffey Anderson, just kept singing and encouraged his son's dancing just going with the flow in his act.  This little guy is quite fluid.  Turns out his mother is a professional dancer who has appeared in videos with Britney Spears, Rihanna and Kanye West.  Dancing talent runs in the family!

Comfort Food From Louisiana: New Orleans Chef Recipe: Jambalaya For A Crowd

Comfort Food From Louisiana: New Orleans Chef Recipe: Jambalaya For A Crowd: From Denny:  Need an easy recipe for a crowd during Mardi Gras season?  Chef John Besh of New Orleans paired with Zatarain's to create this faster version of jambalaya using Zatarain's Dirty Rice mix.  In fact, the famous chef has a lot of great recipes on their site.

What makes jambalaya so tasty is the browning of the chicken and andouille sausage, mixing in the veggies like celery and onion, some liquid (some people like to use chicken stock in place of water) and then the rice to cook in all those tasty seasonings and juices.

It's a fabulous one-pot meal that is easy to make and a real crowd pleaser.

Comfort Food From Louisiana: Mardi Gras: New Orleans West Bank Chicken Wings: From Denny:  When I think of Mardi Gras the first images that come to mind are all the wonderful parties and delicious food.  Of course, I do - it's Louisiana!

One thing is for sure we are all often short on time to prepare our favorites dishes so I've decided to post onto this blog my favorite recipes from the Zatarain site.

They are a New Orleans based company that provides products to short cut the Cajun cooking process from slow food to a more efficient use of our time.  I prefer to cook "from scratch" most of the time but there are those times when we all turn to a faster way to prepare our favorite dishes...

From Denny:  In case you missed this adorable photo during the Christmas season like I did then check out Santa serenading a beluga whale at the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut.  Isn't it amazing how the whale is listening intently and seems to enjoy the song and interaction?  It's as if the whale is saying, "Wow! What is this? Cool! I think he's flirting with me... don't tell Sam.  Let's keep this between you and me, Santa."

Cookie Monster Hunted By German Police: Alleged Golden Cookie Theft

source:  Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung

From Denny:  Cookie Monster is in trouble - again!  His alleged cookie addiction could cost him some time behind bars if he doesn't get a lenient judge who can sympathize with his plight. Of course, an extortion letter to a German newspaper may not prove to be helpful.  German police are investigating.

You see, Cookie Monster has now made Bahlsen, a popular German cookie maker in Hanover, Germany, world famous with his alleged theft of their trademark iconic giant golden cookie sign, a gilded bronze sculpture.  It's been reported in America and across The Pond in the UK and Europe.

Cookie Monster allegedly claimed responsibility for the sneaky theft.  His demand letter?  CM allegedly wants Bahlsen to deliver free cookies to children's hospitals.  If they agree to do this good deed, CM is willing to return their giant golden cookie sign unharmed.  That sounds reasonable.

The ransom letter to Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung (HAZ) newspaper translated into English:  "I have the cookie!  And you want it."  The letter was a clever compilation of letters from magazine and newspaper cuttings.  OK, it was a standard issue extortion letter.  Cookie Monster was in a hurry and was running to meet the mail carrier before he missed the mail pick-up for the day.

CM is allegedly quite specific as to the variety of cookies to be delivered to the children's hospitals.  He wants Bahlsen's Leibniz biscuits, preferably the whole milk variety.


Of course, the German authorities are trying to run down this cookie theft and whether it really was Cookie Monster.  You see, CM is claiming on Twitter he is not the true culprit.  Gasp!  Maybe CM was photo shopped?  Can it be true he is the victim of a vicious cookie scam?

The next day another letter was received at Bahlsen with the same demands.  Their legal department did not know if the letter was genuine.  The understandably anonymous spokeswoman commented, "If I could answer that question, I'd be smarter than the police [who are investigating authenticity].  The whole things is not a marketing campaign, our company, no way."

Police say witnesses saw two men with a ladder in the vicinity of the cookie sign earlier this month.  Could they have been hired by CM?  So far, CM isn't saying nor have the police found the alleged sign thieves.  Bahlsen is offering 1,000 Euros for information leading to the recovery of their iconic cookie sign.  The reward will be donated to the animal shelter Krähenwinkel in Langenhagen.

By the way, the cookie company has also pledged to give 52,000 packs of Leibniz biscuits to 52 social institutions - if the cookie sign is returned unharmed.

Check back with this blog often.  We will keep you apprised of this fluid situation as it develops.

A Truth Journal: Obama Legacy At Risk? Thuggish Justice Dept Needs Reform?

A Truth Journal: Obama Legacy At Risk? Thuggish Justice Dept Needs Reform?: From Denny:  It's no wonder there now exist 300 million guns owned in America since terrorism struck in 2001.  People are afraid of outside terrorists, desperate to protect themselves and their families.

Americans now feel threatened by and afraid of their own government.  Just check out the latest Pew Research poll where the majority feel the federal government threatens their personal rights.

Do they have good cause since the erosion of individual rights, freedoms, civil rights and privacy taken away under the last two administrations, courtesy of the Justice Department, all because of the War on Terror?

It's the general perception in America that our Justice Department is heavy-handed in its prosecution of cases.  OK, the perception is that it persecutes people, not prosecutes.  Clearly, there needs to be a top-down review from an outside consultant, preferably a team of investigators.
