"Capitalism is the Predatory Stage of Human Evolution"

Before Israel decided to spit in the eye of the US, and the rest of the world, by attacking the aid flotilla, I was listening to Hillary Clinton talking about our great ally, South Korea.

Oh, allies! Our praise is so fulsome; our hypocrisy so stunning!

Website Wednesday

If you noticed, there was no Movie Monday. I decided to take Memorial Day off and engage in that great American pastime: shop to commemorate a holiday. I didn't shop long though so I engaged in the another popular American pastime: going to the pool. OK, I just sat and knitted but, not once, did the siren call of my blog reach my ears. But, I'm ready for Website Wednesday:

http://www.dump.com/

The Dump is a picture-submitting site. I seem to gravitate to picture sites. This is another cute one. It's a current site. Take a look at the leaping cat picture which is up. Apparently, you vote for your fav pictures and the results are posted.

Now, I hope this next pick is not too "girly:"

http://www.desiretoinspire.net/

It says of itself: ....Whether highlighting interior designers and decorators, architects, stylists, photographers or their owner readers' homes, Desire to Inspire aims to do just that ... inspire. Sit back, pour a cup of tea and enjoy!

Confession time: I love to read floor plans and imagine the rooms slightly different or the entire design much different. One of my favorite series of books is: The Atrium Library of Interior Design. I've been known to visit model home and then come home and redecorate. And, at least twice a year, the siren call of moving furniture grabs me.

OK, back to this website. You do get inspiration. You get minimalist design; you get the French country look; you get interesting commentary; you get reader comments, some with good substance (always a delight.) And, you get Pets on Furniture! How could you not love it?

So take a look at these websites. Good summer reading. Good ideas.
