Here’s today’s cartoon and commentary video from Pat Lamb.
Today Pat talks about the types of women who marry rich, then end up scoring a huge jackpot with the pool boy. So true these days – not sure how men fall into this trap with these fake-boobed, fake-tanned bimbos who’s sole objective is gold digging.

Today Pat talks about the new Pope Francis, and how Pope Benedict depressed him a bit – saying he never made it big because the Pope John Paul was a rockstar, and it was like Larry Holmes who followed Muhammad Ali in the boxing word “just bread crumbs.”

It seemed like the best three months of your dating life. You would see each other almost every day. You felt comfortable with her. You could tell him anything. You thought she was the female version of you. He made you laugh more than you had ever laughed before. Never had you shared the same views on religion, politics, and family with another. For the first time you felt HAPPY.
You thought… had all this dating finally paid off? Could this person be the one you would spend the rest of your life with? And then… the three month mark hits.
The person you thought was “perfect” and “ideal” CHANGED or, did you begin to see who they are, and the real issues they carry with them ?
Why does the drama free honeymoon stage of great dinners at Balthazar’s, Broadway shows and weekend getaways end? The Honeymoon ends when trust builds and we start to let the other person see our everyday struggles. They begin to see that our boss never lets us have a day off, or our boiling family conflicts over grandma: Should she go into a nursing home or have 24 hour care at home? And then the typical dilemma one may go through in a new relationship: How can I trust again after being so deeply hurt in the last relationship? Suddenly keeping up the pristine appearance of having it all together for your new guy or gal, seems impossible and it is. This is when the Honeymoon is over.
When we allow someone to get to know us and the stressors we are dealing with, they learn how we positively or negatively handle conflicts. They also learn what our unresolved issues are from childhood. These issues impact the present relationship. If we do not allow our girlfriend or boyfriend to see and understand our issues, assumptions will be made about how the relationship is going, leaving both parties on different pages.
For example:
In this example we can see that they are both on different pages because they never communicated their feelings and needs. They both were trying to keep up the pristine image that all of their needs were being met in the relationship, when in fact they weren’t. Who is the one suffering for not advocating for their needs, each one? If you don’t ask for what you want in a relationship you will never get it. Why self your self short?

Why are there more shootings today? Are people crazier than when we were kids?
It seems like we are all asking ourselves these questions, trying to understand why shootings occur. How do we solve the problem of the increase in shootings over the years?
Do we get rid of the second amendment?
Do we create laws that limit the amount of screen time children engage in, viewing violence as a form of entertainment? Do we reinstate our mental health institutions that were deinstitutionalized in 1955?
Yes, deinstitutionalization! What is deinstitutionalization? Deinstitutionalization was the process of moving mentally ill patients out of mental institutions, (We all remember One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest) and into the community which started in 1955. The goal was for the government to “save money” on hospitalization costs as they believed outpatient treatment with a therapist and a psychiatrist would be cheaper and more liberating for the patients. They also believed that it would be cheaper to pay this population’s disability benefits to help them pay for their basic needs over costs of an institution. If you are not aware, being severely mentally ill qualifies one to receive disability benefits.
Another influence on the movement for deinstitutionalization was the development of anti-psychotic medications. These new drugs allowed patients the opportunity to overcome their debilitating psychiatric condition and strive to become active members of the community (so was thought by the government at the time). How many people do you know who are severely mentally ill, receive monthly disability benefits and are actively employed?
Ten years after deinstitutionalization began the government realized that mentally ill patients were not getting the services they needed in the community. The government decided to mandate that Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) become parts of communities to help this population. The government would and has funded these centers since 1965. Just like any other government organization there are cut backs leaving this population in an even more helpless state at present time? For those of you who do not know what a Community Mental Health Center is, there is one located on 3rd and Grand next to St. Francis Church. This CMHC is affiliated with Hoboken University Medical Center.
