Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the Benghazi terror attack and more than held her own before several testy Republican Senators trying to, once again, make a mountain out of a mole hill for political gain.  Some observers even have said that she had them for lunch.

My bra is further down.  You're unhooking my shoulder holster."

Happy birthday wishes go out to "MacGyver," AKA Richard Dean Anderson, who turns 63 years old today. I used to love to watch him on "MacGyver" how he would get out of one tight spot after another with nothing more than a Swiss Army knife. 
 

 

It would seem that Richard was quite the Hollywood ladies man, having dated Deidra Hall, Sela Ward, Teri Hatcher, Lisa Marie, Lara Flynn Boyle, and my favorite skater Katarina Witt. 

 

It would seem to me that the NRA is doing it's best to make people think that the government is going to take away every one's guns.  If you read President Obama's suggestions, there was very little about limiting gun ownership.  So you have to wonder if perhaps the NRA is in cahoots with gun stores in scaring these people so that they will run out and buy up all the ammo and guns they can get their hands on.

Finally got back out on my bike today (Wednesday). Rode along the Santa Ana River from Riverside to Norco and back.  The weather was overcast but warm for a change.  It's been over two weeks since I was on my bike because of my being sick with the flu and my ears stuffed up.  It was nice to be back today. 
 

Happy Birthday wishes go out today to my two little sisters, Suzy and Kathy.

 

 

Wait for me!!!

Today during his inauguration speech my President, President Barrack Obama, said in part;

We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.

It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.

Emphasis mine.

This has a great message and some pretty cool music.  Namaste
