The cuddly baby-bot looks unearthly with a pair of luminous blue eyes and oversized cheeks, but engineering students are hoping it will teach young people the pleasures of parenting as Japan faces a demographic crisis.

Strong summer thunderstorms rolled through Chicago Wednesday [June 23], towering up to 63k feet and unleashing 80 mph wind gusts in the Windy City. The powerful weather system also doled out 15k lightning strikes per hour at its peak. A camera stationed west of the Chicago loop area captured an incredible moment when lightning struck the city's 3 tallest buildings at the same moment. Mother Nature doesn't mess around....

The cyber rumor is this hilarious commercial featuring Jennifer Aniston, made in 2005, was banned for some reason, because no one has seen it on U.S. television. Yet people in the Netherlands, Singapore, and Australia, etc., report having viewed it.

According to Knoxvillebiz.com, "[T]he Army Corps of Engineers now describes [the weekend storm in Nashville] as a 1,000-year flood event."
My friend Rhonda Robinson, in an article picked up by Rush Limbaugh yesterday, noted that if you haven't heard much about this flood, it's because the leftist media would rather focus on man made disasters such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, or on disasters that can in part be blamed on right-controlled government with left-endorsed victims, such as Hurricane Katrina. I'd add: or to rationalize how America could provoke the Times Square bomber to attempt such a thing.
On May 5 the Boston Globe ran a 38-photo retrospective on the Nashville flood. It's worth viewing to help understand the flood's magnitude.
Here's one of the photos, with the caption, "The General Jackson Showboat floats in the Cumberland River as the Opry Mills shopping complex stands in floodwaters from the Cumberland River in Nashville... on... May 3 (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)." Click to enlarge...
Erick Erickson on RedState.com noted yesterday at 11a: "Barack Obama has still, to my knowledge, not spoken personally of the events in TN or attempted to visit - an act that would have gotten George W. Bush savagely attacked by the press, Democrats, and Congress."

Lead in, by Brad Schaeffer at Big Hollywood on May 2:
Anyone watching today's installment of ABC's morning news program This Week had to feel some measure of pity for out-spoken left wing elite Bill Maher, making his first appearance on the show as a round table guest.
The condescending comic left the warm cocoon of his Real Time studio (which he routinely packs with like-minded far-left guests and an obsequious studio audience one would think hand-picked by moveon.org) and made the horrific blunder of allowing his abject ignorance and ideological blindness to be systematically exposed by the dissecting and relentless cross-examinations of conservative thinker George Will. And on network television no less!

Lunch Break today is courtesy of the Huffington Post:
Now this is great TV! As part of their ongoing series of parties and events at the White House, the Obamas hosted a Latin music celebration (or, "Fiesta Latina") on Tuesday night. The performers included Gloria Estefan, Marc Anthony, Jose Feliciano, Los Lobos, the New York bachata band Aventura, the Mexican singer Thalia, among others. In the video below, the Obama family is onstage and dancing -- Michelle with Malia, and Barack with Sasha -- and Jennifer Lopez, wearing gold, is swaying just behind them.

Moderator Bethany has her own blog, Happy to be called Mommy. Yesterday Bethany posted a photo of a special drawing. She explained:
The picture below was done by [son] Caleb, and it meant a lot to me and was very special. The reason? The picture is of our family tree. On the top you'll see our ancestors who have passed away, and they all have wings. The bottom 3 smiley faces are Caleb, Noah, and Bonnie - and if you look to the right, there's another little branch that Caleb added with a smiley that had wings. He told me that one was Blessing, our baby that we lost through miscarriage.

Awwww.....

I wrote on July 20 that our dear moderator Bethany had entered the photo above of her 3 Chick-Fil-A fans in Chick-Fil-A's "Show us the cow" contest and has requested on her blog that we vote for her entry.
Bethany is currently one of the top 20 vote getters (!), which is where she needs to stay to have her photo considered for the winning title....

Commenter Yor Bro Ken emailed me the other day sharing a beautiful song he had written. Ken wrote:
I am not a song writer, but the LORD gave me this song. I got the chord progression first. Then over the span of a few days I got the chorus. Still later as I was reading the bible I came across this passage:Continue reading "Lunch Break: "Your Word" by Yor Bro Ken"1Thes 2:13
And we will never stop thanking God that when we preached his message to you, you didn't think of the words we spoke as being just our own. You accepted what we said as the very word of God which, of course, it was. And this word continues to work in you who believe. (NLT)...

Hey, our very own Bethany was spotlighted in her town's newspaper yesterday!
Go here to read the impressive article about our dear moderator. I'll bet you didn't know she is not only a talented artist but also a quilter, seamstress, chef, mom, and wife!
Congrats, Bethany, for getting a little well-deserved recognition... :)

The following wedding dance was inspired by the original Evolution of Dance. Enjoy!
Yesterday Raving Theist complained my Swan Lake commercial break was too chick-oriented.
"You do realize that some men read your blog?" wrote RT. "Let's have some monster truck action."
I couldn't find a good monster truck video, probably because I don't know what makes a good monster truck video. But I did find another video of a guy performing a stupid and crazy stunt I hope sates my male readers... :)
Posted on Tangle (formerly GodTube) January 20, this is amazing...
