Some Cheer on an Otherwise Somber Day

On this saddest of days, October 7, some lighthearted September Facebook posts from my sister Lee, some entertaining, some political, but always worth sharing:


It will never not be hilarious that over 300 insurrectionists have been turned in by their ex-wives.

Kamala will be the first Democratic president in DECADES to not have to start by rescuing the American economy from a Republican recession.

LET THAT SINK IN!

I’m at the age where I appreciate a nice handrail.

I read somewhere that being sarcastic on a regular basis can add up to three years to your life. If that’s true I’m gonna live forever.

I’m not sure how many cookies it takes to be happy, but so far it is not 27.

A little girl asked her brother, “What is love?”

He replied, “Love is when you steal my chocolate from my lunch bag every day … and I still hide it in the same place.”

Not all relationships will lead to marriage. Some will help you discover new restaurants.

The reason your grandmother didn’t leave your grandfather has LESS to do with some moral compass or love than you think. Until 1964 an employer could REFUSE to hire you because you were a WOMAN. Until 1974 REFUSING to sell a WOMAN a home was LEGAL … Until 1988 you could REFUSE to rent to a woman with CHILDREN. Contrary to what people believe, women didn’t stay because relationships were better, they stayed because SOCIETY wasn’t designed for their independence.

If you can’t secure your own golf course, don’t claim you can secure our borders!!!

Wife: “Do you have a plan for clearing out the garage?”

Husband: “I have concepts of a plan.”

Not to brag, but I can forget a new password before I’ve finished creating it.

Volkswagen should bring back the Beetle as an electric vehicle and call it the Lightning Bug.

“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”

- Hannah Arendt
