Funny Comic Betty White Gets Her Own Calendar

*** Check out what comic Betty White is doing now! The woman is on the move!




From Denny: Actress Betty White has been in show business for longer than most of us have been alive yet she continues to amaze everyone who sees her. She is advancing to age 89 this year but somehow she just doesn't age. A great sense of humor and her dazzling smile and excellent timing with a ready rapier wit have made her popular with yet a new generation of admirers.

She thrived on Saturday Night Live where she made several appearances. White holds the record for the oldest person to host the show. Betty hosted the show after a big push from groups on facebook where she was a huge success.

Betty has yet another show in which she co-stars, called "Hot In Cleveland" which airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern and 9 p.m. Central.

Today she is totally the "It Girl" status because her latest endeavor is that she is sporting her own calendar. Rush right out and purchase one for 2011. The calendar is supposed to include some lovely beefcake-type shirtless men posing alongside her just to keep things spicy. Some of the photos are archival while others pose her with animal friends since she is quite the animal lover.

Betty White serves as a trustee for the Morris Animal Foundation and it is to this foundation that her royalties for the calendar will go. The Betty White Calendar costs $12.99 and will go on sale in September 2010. I predict a huge sell out and major re-printings! :)




Check out some glamorous photos of the actress through the decades in this photo gallery:

From Denny: With the new and faster features offered by Blogger lately, I decided to go ahead and take the jump. All of my three food blogs are now neatly compiled into one blog: Dennys Food and Recipes.

For the past year I've been experimenting with small niche writing like the so-called internet SEO experts preach. As far as writing goes, I felt constrained in too small a space. Yes, I'm one of those kids who skipped coloring outside the lines in coloring books and took it to a whole new level. I colored whole murals on my bedroom walls. It sure beat the pedestrian mind-dull wallpaper my parents used to cover unsightly and uneven plaster walls in a 160 year old New England house. My father knew how to properly plaster walls since his father was a commercial and residential contracter among other talents - he just didn't want to go to the bother. So, I had my own solution.

I have my own solutions too for these many blogs and I'm combining several of them. What the statistics have proven over the past year is that once a generalist always a generalist. Roaming intellectually is fun for me and I like to bring home my finds for others to enjoy whether it's for mind food or just a good silly laugh.

The new large recipe blog is finished and is called Dennys Food and Recipes. You can find everything from pasta to chocolate to Louisiana food. There are recent food videos and food from other countries like the Olympics food from Canada. The Muffin Monday segments feature bed and breakfast inn recipes from primarily America and Canada to help support small business over Big Business. Supporting small business helps build up and stabilize the economy. It's small business owners who are the heroes of the economic world as they hire at least 70 percent of the workers in America. Supporting them to do well helps you!

From Denny: This was a light week for writing as I spent so much time watching a lot of BP oil spill news from everywhere trying to catch details of what was filtered out of the mainstream copycat media. This is a shifting situation minute by minute as BP tries to twist the truth and manipulate the media to report their lies. It's like a giant shell game from a multinational corporation grifter.

Those of us living in Louisiana and others on the Gulf Coast are committed to holding our government AND most especially BP's mean little toes to the hot coals until they comply fully. The philosophy of "The Minimum Acceptable" from Big Business arrogance and cavalier handling of an environmental and economic disaster is unacceptable in America. If this was happening to the British shores I would be just as outraged and pushing back just as hard.

Supreme Court Nominee Political Cartoons - 15 May 2010



Photo by tansan @ flickr


From Denny: Leave it to the Republicans to fuss about what they can't find to throw dirt onto Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. They complain there is no controversial paper trail. Read that as she was smart in not openly talking about anything that could hurt her career down the road. Point up on the board for Kagan, zero for the Republicans.

In politics and Life, when other people are not talented or very smart - and are also jealous they can't control you - the next step is to proceed to character assassination. Now the conservative Republican talk radio guys are blasting the air waves that Kagan is supposedly gay. She has never married, so, according to their vicious minds, she must also be gay. Not one of those Republicans ever claimed to be critical thinkers or speakers of the truth. Question: Have any of them actually asked her if she was gay? Of course not.

The truth is for any attorney to fast track their career like Kagan has hers at such a young age they work outrageous hours to the tune of 100 or more a week. They wear out their health. If they have relationships they often lose them or end up in divorce. If they are looking for relationships there is no time to pursue them.

Calling her a homosexual is the usual cheap shot from the so-called Moral Majority Republicans. Like they lead upstanding lives. Rush Limbaugh is a known drug addict, liar and over five times married. And anyone takes his word to be truth for anything? The Republicans, conservatives, churchy Moral Majority have enough dirt in their own collective glass houses.

Senator Craig, still in office, goes cruising for five minutes sexual trysts with other men in airport restrooms - and he's too cowardly to tell his wife the truth about himself. Then there are those conservative crusading anti-gay homophobic Protestant ministers, like George Rekers, who are caught, literally, with their pants down consorting with male prostitutes they rented to "carry their luggage."

The political logic goes that if you have any honest decent and intelligent person up for any appointment by the Democrats then by all means lie and muddy the waters to confuse people about them. The truth is the public is no longer fooled or confused about the Republican dirty political tactics or claims of taking care of the middle class.

Republicans claim to be diverse yet deny a woman a seat on the Supreme Court. They send out their White Supremacist bloggers to lie about her some more on the web to stir up racist sentiment. The latest garbage coming out of that idiot sphere is there is some huge Jewish conspiracy to put her on the Supreme Court and deny white people their rights. Where do they get this perverted thinking??? When our government and societal leaders are willing to lie rather than speak the truth then their minds have descended into depravity and can no longer be trusted to make wise decisions for the public.

Listed here are both the pro and con cartoonists about Kagan's nomination. Notice how the Republican cartoonists draw Obama as a clown and Kagan as a butch gay. While cartooning at its heart is about exaggeration, the technique is usually combined with truth. It can also be used as subtle visual propaganda in the unscrupulous hands. Take a look and decide for yourself.
