Ellis Henican, Fox News Political Analyst, Newsday columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner.
If you're searching for a tired, defeatist, woe-is-me view of life in the 21st Century, I'm warning you: Stay away from Chickaboomer and Marty Davis. Marty's site is a bold, funny, loose and energizing romp through the greatest time of life, when we've all finally discovered who we really are. In quirky news bites, gleefully subversive commentaries and fearless personal advice, she asks a challenging and high-spirited question, a question that too often never gets asked. The question is, "Why the heck not?"
Jim Bohannon, host, Westwood One's "Jim Bohannon Show" & "America In The Morning."
There are a zillion websites out there, but I'd really like you to check out one in particular: Chickaboomer. Marty Davis is a former network anchor, red-hot babe, and red-hot wit, whose sardonic take on the world is always worth a daily glance. That's why I invited her on my show!

"I'm HOOKED. Your blog is now among the first half-dozen in my must-read morning bookmarks. What you are doing at Chickaboomer.com is SO much fun, and SO engaging.
It's tempting for people-in-radio (old media) to see-and-hear what you're doing (new media) and view it as "the future." TOO LATE. It's "the now." Clearly, you're a character. And very clever. And you make the most of the blogosphere by being as quick as you are.
Work like yours is what's chip-chip-chipping-away-at (and I HATE this expression, but it's handy) "the mainstream media.

Hey thanks for adding me as your friend! If you didn't see my profile yet, my mission as Pastor of Christian Overcomers is to "Stand Against Evil" including the leftist's forces of anti-Christian Socialists that are stripping us of our freedom and trying to control every aspect of our lives. I am trying to do my part by offering all my new friends our FREE CD titled WORLD SOCIALISM AND YOUR DESTINY.
Please stop by our website and request our Free CD!
I can’t take back what I’ve done in the past Nor can I retaliate on all that’s been done to me, At best I can learn from experiences I’ve had Shake the chains of regret and be free,
The future has its own set of tests and trials So why dwell upon yesterdays woes, My road only changes if I’m willing to change it The door of opportunity is never closed.
I must free up my psychological arms To make space for better things to come I should dispose of the junk from the past And seek the source where all natural treasures come from.
We are the wardens of the prison in our minds Condemned by guilt, regret and sorrow, But I stay at peace, when I learn to release- Yesterday, and appreciate the hope of tomorrow!
HELLO MARTY, THANKS FOR THE ADD... W.a.n.d.a. P. is an acronym for We Are No Different As People. The main characters Hemo, the red blood cell, Blanco, the white blood cell, Eyish, the nerve cell, Skinner, the skin cell and Blubb, the virus are all cells in the body of Wanda P. Jones. The cells have found themselves in troubling times in the body of Wanda P, similar to those on earth that we are experiencing at the moment. The characters are representative of different races and nations of humans here on earth. Because of personel agendas and devious conspiricies being carried out by a few cells at the expense of many of the cells in the body of Wanda P, they have all found themselves involved in a great conflict that threatens every cell in the bodys existance. Wanda P is a (social satire) that is sure to make the reader laugh at the funny characters and to those who read deeper into the serious religious, racial and political undertones, it will evoke some thought about the state of humanity and how each of us has a role big or small, and none is more important than the other for the survival of all...www. llumina. com/store/wandap. htm
Every time a hand reaches out To help another... that is Christmas. Every time someone puts anger aside And strives for understanding That is Christmas. Every time people forget their differences And realize their love for each other That is Christmas. May this Christmas bring us Closer to the spirit of human understanding Closer to the blessing of peace!
" I'm a true believer in fate. I believe your final destination is already planned for us. But, the quality of the journey is in your hands... Just because the end of your trip is planned doesn't mean you can't control how you get there, the many stops you may take and the sights you see along the way... If the trip your taking isn't right for you; just change the scenery! Even if it's only one tree at a time. Life has many roads, these path's grow with experience. The more you experience you get in life the more paths your mind will see. Like "tunnel vision" if you will... The eyes are trained only to see what the mind allows... I think people need to look past their comfort zone, and see the many path's we have yet to travel.
Someone once told me... "Live every day as if it were your last..." And thats what I try to do. Every morning I wake up, look myself in the mirror and ask myself one simple question. "If I were to die today, would I die happy?" The answer should always be "yes!" If the answer is ever "no" then I do something immediately to change it.
If anything, remember this. "Time..., like money is never missed until it's gone." Just think, In our final hour it's amazing what we would be willing to pay for just a few more seconds. Keep that in mind... " - Chris Van Vorst -( Could not have been said any better) ! JohnT
