Staying in the SUN!

Some days I ask God why I was not given the gift to sing, and then I am in the tub and I realize that - HEY I can SING!

This revelation is often short lived, OY!!

Then I see this dude (Nick Pitera)on youtube and I am again asking, "um Why HIM!" Anyhoo, I have other gifts three of which are quite wonderful (one is unmentionable (tee Hee)) But isn't it wonderful that GOD can gift this man with such amazing talent. My pre- pubescent daughters are not fans- but they are still young, and no boy should mess with Ariel!

Many people race through life without ever finding their gift(s) and they are quite miserable because of this. I recognized one of my gifts very early- only to say "NAH". Boy was I wrong, the thing is that our gifts will chase us into the light and even into our darkest places , and they will demand recognition. Our gifts are like children- they will not be ignored, and if we spend our time attempting to force them into boxes- they will rebel and they will take -us -out.
So sing because God is watching and he will love your tune, and your melody and your 'ungodly' croaking. What he will hear is the love in your heart and the joy behind your closed eyes.
Cheers!!

To the ten people who read this blog...

Gosh I adore you- really, even certain members of my family refuse to read my writings.SNARF!
I could just stop, but how do you shut off who you are? Impossible, eventually the essential oils of you will seep out and leave a nasty stain on the floor. Essential Oils of the YOU variety cannot be bottled up and silenced, because they were born to scream and get attention and smile and cry and just be..
On the days when your YOU has nothing to do- it will simply lend warmth your tummy and you will wonder why you suddenly feel like you are eight years old again. It's like the day you realized that you are so freaking special because God made only one 'YOU'. If you haven't realized that as yet, well sweetie, you need to grow up. Growing up is messy and difficult, but only if you fight your own power. You rock, and you have a God-given mission on this earth, do your mission, live your life, choose your own bloody major, or not, love the best guy/girl (never the guy/girl who's just 'good enough')dance like nobody is watching, but keep your clothes on ( you tube- oy) be honest with yourself - some of your friends, family, drinking buddies, cheesecake budddies - SUCK. It is so OK to dump them. You really deserve better, and yes today you may feel a little oily, but gosh darn it you're essential!
Cheers

Mr. Rogers and the Power of words.

In 1969, the US Senate had a hearing on funding the proposed Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but President Nixon wanted it cut in half for the Vietnam War.



I loved Mister Rogers, he was always so calm and accepting of other, and always willing to lend a hand. He taught so many children that there is true value in who they are- right now. In Mr. Roger's world, there was always a starting point. Life was never perfect but we could always choose to live perfectly. As a little kid in Jamaica,curled up on my veranda reading Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys life was never perfect, but I could always imagine the solutions. I could choose to become pinched and depressed and do nothing, or I could plan and wait for that open crack that always comes. Then, I would jump- ready- willing - able and HAPPY. Mr. Rogers was one of the reigning princes in a world with soft voices and solutions and I will always love him. He was the calm prince who cared enough to stand up for the littlest guys -KIDS!

Time stood Still?

#1: I'm not buying Fred Thompson and #2: I'm 58% geek!

58%



So here's the thing- I'm 58% geek. Yep I know I am barely a wanna be, but I was still excited by the score. This opens up a whole new wardrobe for me- my 11 year old daughter will be mortified!! HEEE HEEE

I will never be as cool as my children expect me to be, and any attempts on my part to be cool would be quite pathetic! Yep I am that mature.

So how did I decide to take this test? Well you can blame Fred Thompson- or rather the idiotic Repubs. who insist on writing syrupy and super positive articles on the bum. No offense.

Every Republican seems to want a recreation of Ronald Reagan, it's damned idiotic. Yes Ronald Reagen was an actor- but who he was had to do with his character- not his profession. The positions he took- again character and the jokes he told - again character. The strength of his presidency - character!

Just because we know that no self respecting Conservative would vote for Rudolf Giuliani - doesn't mean that we need to strap our saddle to just any NRA loving actor. Your love of a gun doesn't make you a proper candidate for the Presidency- ask any rapper! (no offense to armed rappers)
Hell - let's ask him some real questions, and for goodness sakes let's allow him to answer. Let him join in on a debate or two.

This is not Law and Order people!

This is Presidency of, at this moment the greatest country in the world- take that from a humble immigrant :-) Seriously!
- And while you're at it- take a really good look at Ron Paul.

The Artsy Abortion!!!

Actress' Abortion Written Into TV Show

CULVER CITY, CA-Producers considered shooting around the abortion and using lighting tricks and strategically placed plants to cover up her uterus.

It's insane really, first the actress decides to have a child, the producers then have to decide how to conceal the pregnancy- which was not a part of the plot.

THEN- the actress decides that the baby was not worth keeping and then yaaah- they decide to include her decision to kill the baby, in the script!

Now I have never seen this show, and I really don't care to see it, however have we gone so far off the deep end in America- that abortion is now used as art?

Have we abandoned decency and slid so far into iniquity, that death is now artsy?
There is no shame anymore. No personal- 'what the heck am I thinking' reflection in our lives anymore.



'It's like - first I want my baby, then I like don't want my baby and then I realize that it's not like human so like I like abort it!!!!!!!'


Seriously?!

I'm not implying that this actress did not employ some deep thought when contemplating murder- who doesn't-

BUT when you allow your sin to be written into a soulless script - DAMN. That takes some serious balls loaded with juice from satan!

When was the last time you wandered?

I Wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Wordsworth

We sometimes lose touch with reality. We begin to really believe that our in boxes are the most important things in life. We turn around and we realize that we do not know who we are. We keep our secret yearnings locked away and we work to make the dreams of our employers a reality. We watch and wonder when our time will come and we continue on the never ending unicycle - keep it steady - don't want to fall off!

What would happen if we got off , if we wandered for a while, what would we find? What if we decided to find out he truths about who we really are. Would we be surprised- flabbergasted -excited - freaked out? I meet people who have no idea who they are- forget doing what they love- many people can not even express their favorite ice cream flavor.

I ask you if you can't figure out your favorite flavor of ice cream- have you realistically thought about your life :-). My is pistachio and I have tried about forty flavors!!

Wander- aim for nothing and see what you discover , it really is a wonderful habit to form. Many adults are not willing to 'waste time' in order to wander; but blissfully skipping or sauntering through the lanes of our minds may bring us face to face with ourselves.
The hopes and dreams that we had before we were introduced to that awful word- impossible.

This does not have to be a daily goal, even a monthly 2-hour escape would be a wonderful respite. Be prepared to ask yourself some real truths- and be prepared for the answers. Prepare also for the possibility that you may at first become aware of nothing; and if that happens- relax and look forward to you next wander through the fields.

You make not find the elixir for world peace, but you make equip yourself to manage that unicycle a lot better. You may even decide that the unicycle is really not for you.

Cheers

Happy Homeschool Mom

I am feeling really groovy today. Our official Home school has been humming along for the past three days of the new year, and all the kiddies are excited and working.
OK- actually the three year old- Ari, has no desire to work. He has his own folder of activities, but he seems more interested in drawing kittens (he calls them mews) and 'earning' praise stickers!
I actually underestimated the girls this year. They are faster than last term and I have had to scramble to provide worksheets and tests, above the planned curriculum to fill their time - and we have really full days!
This is so exciting, because we might be able to add an additional hour of geography this year! We are studying the American Government this year and the girls will start their projects on the Presidency next week.
They did extraordinarily well last year and tested above their grade levels. I am quite proud of their consistent work and even of my teaching, because last year I endured a long and painful depression. It was the first time in my life that I have had to have a serious talk with my children about my illness. I have been suffering from depression since I was a small child - around nine years old,and I have always regarded the illness a sad curse. I have tried several medications and I found actual relief with Paxil- WOW was it awesome!!!!!!!! - and then the side effects became 'aggressive' so - away with Paxil and after a couple of weeks, I could literally feel the depression undulate against my peace.
Depression sucks!
But I feel so much better now! God has been very good to me, and I have an awesome family.

Also I called my friend Lane today and we had a wow conversation as the children got ready for their day. It was only about a twenty minute chat but she is so very marvelous, that it felt very filling - do you know?
We used to be neighbors -Lane and I, and I was always so busy and/or depressed that I did not socialize aggressively.I hate spreading the icks! Now that I have moved away (only about 7 miles or so) I realized that I really missed her. Neat Huh!

She's also a writer and really that makes her so much more special than the average bloke or blokette you meet everyday. Anyhoo the lunch break is at its' end. Have a great day people. OH- here is this great list of things to do everyday to increase your happiness. I 'do' at least five of these things EVERYDAY, and it makes me feel as if I am a giver and not simply a pouty taker in this world- try some , it's super good!!

The 10 steps to happiness:

Plant something and nurture it
Count your blessings - at least five - at the end of each day
Take time to talk - have an hour-long conversation with a loved one each week
Phone a friend whom you have not spoken to for a while and arrange to meet up
Give yourself a treat every day and take the time to really enjoy it
Have a good laugh at least once a day
Get physical - exercise for half an hour three times a week
Smile at and/or say hello to a stranger at least once each day
Cut your TV viewing by half
Spread some kindness - do a good turn for someone every day

Defective Condoms in South Africa

So here is the thing- South Africa has one of the world's highest rate of HIV infection; and this leads to almost 1000 (ONE THOUSAND) aids related deaths every day in South Africa!
The government - has not always been kind to those infected, however they do allow for condom distribution in order to slow the spread of the disease.

So in order to help - a government official decided to take a bribe and allowed defective condoms to be purchased!

Surprise - he wasn't put to death!

Really- should we care about Africa- when the Africans do not seem to care about each other?

-Yes

-But WHY

- Because it is what Jesus would do.
- and Because there are corrupt officials everywhere - in some countries they even call bribes 'contributions'

how do You spell GENOCIDE? D-A-R-F-U-R

I heard the song "for What It's Worth" today and I thought about the reprehensible situation in Darfur. There is no reason for this to be happening, the world has had several dances with genocide and it seems that everyone is short on caring. Poor people, those without voices and political connections, those with nothing to trade are being murdered like mange afflicted dogs.
There is absolutely no reason for this to be happening. The Bridge of Hope Ministry in Ohio, pastored by Rod Parsley has been trying to help these poor people for years now. We send out few dollars to buy children from the Muslim overlords and we help with a few dollars to help women who were raped and brutalized and we wait- Everyday there is a new danger for these people- God's people. Everyday ministries like Bridge of Hope ask us to give a little to help but the help does not stop the new and vulgar ways men have practiced to maim and to murder. NOW WHAT!

Christians cared and acted long before the Sudanese Government had to acknowledge the atrocities, and certainly long before our government even commented at length about the murders and rapes and destruction. Long before Condelesa Rice appealed to the congress for their attention to this matter- Long before the Congress chose to do nothing. You see- even if the Sudanese Government can give us key members of Al Quida -it is morally out of bounds for us to give them what appears to be tacit approval to murder peoples' bodies and souls; I am so sad I could cry-

We will one day beheld accountable for the sins that we chose to ignore. One day we will be asked why we did nothing. I do not know what to do- but I tell you, it is one of the things that keep me up at night. Children are dying, women and men are dying and they die thinking that they, are nothing in this world. Villages are burned into the sands as I sit here and wonder what I can do.

Do you have any ideas? Will you share them with me?



Buffalo Springfield
For What It's Worth
Stephen Stills, 1966


There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

If you're murdered and you're in Darfur- is it genocide?

The facts are these:
The people of Darfur are being hunted, raped and slaughtered.
The world is ignoring genocide- again.

Hey Mister ! Vegansexuals do not eat nuts!!

Everyday I see or hear of some pot full of nonsense in the world. Today it was the vegansexuals- these paragons of critical thought do not have sexual relations with meat eaters, because they consider that the bodies of meat eaters are basically cemeteries for all the dead animals that they have eaten.
OY!!

Why do some groups insist on the deep end of the dirty pool - Seriously!

China and Mattel

I suppose the title of this entry should be China and corporate America; given the latest massive toy recall is further proof that this off-shoring of labor is a really bad idea. As a cynical consumer I really do believe that Mattel knew about this lead paint problem and the use of high powered magnet since 2002 - yes the toy recall extends to 2002.

The chairman of Mattel really does expect that the average American parent will believe that after all those years, they were simply duped and now yikes- they have to protect the children. Sadly he is correct- a few days after the recall, I saw an interview with a mother of five who felt unsure as to what she will do. She did not want to discard the toys until she was sure of what was going on!

As a mother- I was stunned- The makers of the toys listed what was under the recall, yet this American Mother was not sure of her next move. Sheesh it is no wonder what harmful and deadly tricks corporations can pull and simply walk away smiling.

My daughters - after watching the news report and checking the list went upstairs immediately; I then found them separating all the questionable toys - the girls are 10 and 11. The children even discarded their many Barbies out of protest, they even had their three year old brother helping.


Children are not attached to things, it is the parents who push cheap baubles at them, only to then wonder how their children become so focused on material things.
We do not allow our children countless toys, but we will present them with any book they need or want. Our children need to learn the art of thinking, in order to recover from a society of adults who are unable to make a reasonable decision.

This idea that Americans need cheaply produced goods in order to continue growing this hungry consumerism baby is insane. Many rush to the stores to stock up on every painted plastic crap they can get their hands on in order to amuse children who simply need love,attention and a few good books.

China has now become a driven marketplace, and only those who drive her can effectively disengage from her. We do not need under priced Barbies and every toy reflective of every Disney or Pixar compilation. We need children who are engaged in learning and exploring their innate infinite curiosities.
The problem now is not just the lead and the magnets- it's the lies:

It's all China's' fault
Really- it's China
We appraised them of our standards and they ignored us...
Blah Blah lie lie lie!

Many Americans are at heart- (even with the lady in New York beckoning others (like Me)to her lovely shores)- transparent
So now China is the evil destroyer of young American brains, and the poor fellows and ladies in the corporate offices- the ones who structured the deals and were required to test the standards- have been misused by the evil Asian bastards.

Americans need to wake up and realize that we are our own homeland security. It is our job to respond immediately to any offense against our children. We need not wait for clarification from a corporate tool who really does not care. We are responsible and if we feel that corporations do not have our best interest at heart ( hint: they don't) we should separate them from our purse strings.

Perhaps for Christmas this year or for the next special gift we could offer our children books. We do and they love us all the same

Seriously!

Goodnight Tammy Faye

Tammy Faye the wonderfully vivacious televangelist has died. I will hopefully meet her one day in Heaven. She was amazing - and dared to be stylish in an environment that often dictates how a Christian woman should dress. She beckoned us into her world with her heavily made lashes and her painted lips and she shamelessly and consistently called out the name Jesus. Her last interviews were a testament to courage and faith. She chose not to hide her disease from the public and proved to all Christians and others that even when the body fails one can still find strength and JOY by calling on the only name that matters JESUS. Goodnight Tammy Faye, thanks for the lessons.

This is Tammy Fays' last note:
July 16, 2007

My Dear Friends,

It has been such a long time since I've written and I am so sorry for the long delay. I have been in bed for almost a year now. I have times when I feel good and times when I feel really bad. But, I have learned one thing about feelings. They have NOTHING TO DO WITH FAITH IN GOD!! He is the SAME yesterday, today and forever. He NEVER changes. That is what the Bible says and God's word does not lie EVER!

There have been many days when I felt so terrible with my back and stomach, that I have hardly been able to breath. I cry out to the Lord knowing that many of you are praying for me. In spite of it all, I get dressed and go out to eat. I may only be able to eat one bite, or sometimes ten bites, but I swallow each bite in "faith believing". There are MANY times it doesn't stay with me long at all, but I keep trying and HE helps me.

My daughter is here a lot of the times to give me my medications and to make sure I don't forget. When I got sick, she literally moved in and gave me hugs and kisses that are so needful during this period of ones life. She said, "I want to take care of my Mom". I gave her the last couple weeks off to go home and spend time with her children, James and John. They are well taken care of while Sissy is gone. My girlfriend, Deborah has been staying with me for the past 3 weeks. We have been friends for thirty years, so we know each other well! She gave Tammy Sue some much needed rest and she has taken up where Sissy left off. She will be here for two more weeks. How grateful I am to have such strong, loving, support around me. Then of course, there is my wonderful husband! We moved from Charlotte, N.C. to Kansas City, Missouri. He came here every weekend to build me a new house and when I got here, it was ready to move into, bed and all!! They had it beautiful and it is the most beautiful home I have ever seen. He has wanted to build me a house for 13 years, and I finally let him! His children and grandchildren have come every weekend to visit us, and it is so much fun! Someone I cannot forget is a friend named Daina. She worked so hard, I thought she was going to get sick. Bless her heart. I have to have help eating, bathing, doing my hair, taking my medicine, and help just getting comfortable, which is really hard for me to do.

I try really hard to eat and keep the food down, but sometimes, it is like my throat would just shut down on me, and the food comes right back up. So through all the prayers, I have finally gained some weight. I have gone from 60 pounds, to 65, for which I am very thankful.

I ask in great humbleness that you pray that I will be able to eat without it coming back up. I crave hamburgers and french fries with LOTS of ketchup! When I can eat that again, it will be a day of victory!

In closing, I want you to know that I am praying for you and your loved ones and I am believing God for complete healing. God is a healer of EVERYTHING!

I will let you know when I get to eat my hamburger! HA!

Love,

Isaiah Washington is out- and the gay rights agenda is in!

I do not suppose that anyone was shocked at the firing of Isaiah Washington from the "Grey's Anatomy" cast. Gee most of us saw the hammer falling months ago. He was defiant and then filled with remorse, we even saw that he attended rehab. I guess Hollywood is now admitting that rehab is just a joke, and that no amount of intervention can change anyone. Indeed it seems that their insistence that he enter rehab was done in order to shame him. It is after all, wrong to not support the gay agenda. It as wrong to not accept their fact that they were indeed, "born this way" and we need to all just get on board. But what if we all just admit what it is that we already know- Gays were not born with abnormal sexual proclivities, they have simply decided that they are going to pervert a biological fact and force us all to accept their sins.


The 'gay' actor who was insulted has been the grand marshal of the 'don't hurt me I'm gay' parade for months now, and I guess he has finally gotten his wish. His sad puppy dog expression on the Ellen DeGeneres show was a little 'sad'. When did Ellen DeGeneres become such a focal point in America. (perhaps I have been living under a rock)
The Gay Agenda is pretty insidious, they have taken their abomination and tethered it to human rights, civil rights and every other 'right' that this growing group seems to feel entitled to. It is a brilliant move

Given - Mr. Washington's comment was indeed pointless, calling a 'gay' gay is a lot like calling a fat guy 'fat'- he already knows that he has made that choice.

Someone recently said that the 'gay' actor would have been fired if he had used the 'n-word' but I personally think that that argument has no real foundation.
Indeed, I have seen a lot of references to the 'f-word' as having as much weight as the 'n-word' but the first suggests a lascivious lifestyle, while the latter suggests a person used as property. Blacks in America have allowed this kind of tethering to their rights and their historical pain to be watered down.

Should Isaiah Washington have lost his job? I guess.
Should it have taken five months and required rehab and PSA announcements? NO.
The fact is that, he rounded out a trio of McHotties and they needed to exploit this fact. Does his leaving affect a show seeping with sexual hedonism, adultery and characters demonstrating poor judgment? Yes and No.

Will he be replaced with another Black, an Hispanic, Asian- or will the program become another diversity challenged hour on national television? Maybe.
Does it matter? Definitely
The fact is that gays have now become the new minority, and it is their agenda that has taken root in American politics, entertainment - everywhere. One cannot enjoy a quiet evening watching the tele without being assaulted by gays. In a country where roughly 70% of adults do not support the gay agenda, Hollywood is force feeding the viewing population a steady diet of sexual deviants and other 'standards' of loose morals.

So what's a hard working Christian to do? We can all resist the urge to watch this and any other show that assaults our beliefs and sells us a bill of goods based upon the erosion of the good things that God has in store for us. We can read more books- there are thousands of books published every year that entertain and inform without strapping us down while we slide screaming into the bowels of hell.

I wish Mr. Washington luck, hopefully he has learned to keep his feelings to himself, those 'fat' guys know who they are and they do not want to be reminded (especially when they are cast as sensitive, and sexy heterosexuals),and to keep an eye out for the gays in Hollywood who want acceptance for their own, but who are willing to shame and destroy the career of others - they are everywhere.

Battered Republican Syndrome (B.R.S.)

The first time that I voted for President Bush, I lived in Palm Beach County Florida. Content with my vote, and having faced no problems with the chads, I could accurately state to everyone who asked, that the democrats were a bunch of bloody morons. Pick a candidate, use the handy tool and poke a bloody hole! OY
My second vote was executed in Texas and again - not a problem (well, not really)
I sometimes feel that I am trapped in a bad relationship with my party, and I am slowly being kicked to death.
You see, I really believe that President Bush is not really a Republican, indeed he reminds me of a boy I once dated. That boy seemed acceptable, because he seemed to know exactly what I liked and mimicked me, and I allowed my ego to choose him, only to realize that it is impossible for someone to perpetually mimic what they do not understand.

President George Bush does not understand what is is to truly be a Republican. It has a lot to do with his approach the war, and everything to do with his desire to play fast and loose with our personal freedoms, and with our money.

The war is a mess- agreed, however, the majority of Americans supported the war, and wanted the death of the Muslim terrorist. Most Americans believed the insinuations at the time, that this was an in and out venture and that very few soldiers would die. Many Americans were stupid in that regard, war really is hell on all fronts. President Bush and his immortal V.P.

(disclaimer: my sarcasm regarding the VP's inability to succumb to his physical problems, in no way suggests on my part that he should no longer be a vital and breathing part of our government)

literally seduced and bullied millions of people into thinking that we were going to engage the enemy, and with gratitude the enemy would roll over and ask for more.

Republicans- knew better, we knew that this war would last for an eternity, we knew that all Americans would suffer, but the majority of the country just wanted to see old Glory fly.
Many Americans now identify 'Republicans', as the loudest morons in the room who think that it is a-ok for American boys to die for a bunch of thankless Muslims, who wouldn't accept democracy if allah offered it with 30 virgins. Republicans are more complex, and traditionally we are concerned with matters that strengthen Americans and strictly adhere to the constructs of our constitution. We care about budgets and we care about growth, we do not believe that our President should sign blank checks to every special interest group in the country.
We really do not believe that our constitution needs to be amended. Those individuals that require this amazing document to be altered pointlessly, do not understand that concept of freedom of morality.
Gays do not need to marry, they are already an abomination to God, why help them on their way to hell, by paying attention to their slack?
Abortion is murder, we know this, even though many of us (myself included) have at one point or another,fallen under the lies that it is our right as women to club our offspring to death.

We do not 'do nuance' but we recognize that we often have to acknowledge the fuzzy areas, if only to understand that pointlessness of Democrats. I am feeling battered because this government has been consistently pissing on the solid rock of freedom out of which this great country was carved. Immigrants recognize this- why are so many Americans having such a hard time with this.
This country was built upon an amazing document, and any attempt to twits it and to shave it down to spice up the quintessential wet dreams of everyone from the Christians to the liberals, if just damned stupid.
The idea that Freedom, is NOT FREE, is not just a damned bumper sticker slogan, it is the battle cry of America to every corner of the world. Why then is this administration, launching an almost daily attack against our freedom. We cannot speak anymore for fear that we could be arrested, we cannot get righteously angry, we cannot participate in protest that may reach the ears of the President or VP Scorpius.
Americans are asked to do the following things- 1.buy more stuff 2.Ignore the fact that we have a -2% savings rate 3.Ignore the fact that every corporation in country has adopted the destructive policy of shipping every bloody high paying job to freaking China, India, freaking Singapore!!! 4. Pretend that there is no inflation, yes, everything is OK- just ignore the fact that you get less in the grocery store for the same dollar amount. 5. Ignore the fact that the energy companies are giddily raping the American consumer, just smile and keep driving to the mall to purchase enough crap made in China to keep every fraudulently calculated index high enough for satans' pundits to chorus "everything is fine".

Now then, the problem is that the 'republicans' who are screaming in support of President Bush,have no idea why they are doing it. It's certainly not the power, it's definately not because they must comply. It seems to me that they are yelling out of fear; because if we all slow down, put away the Amex and focus on the guano that is currently being smeared into the crevices of America, we would lose all hope.

A president is like a parent, and effective parenting starts with the behavior of the parents. What we have learned from Dad and Dad ( OY- I know)is that we may be seen, but not heard. We have learned that they have squandered our financial legacy and that we are responsible for replenishing the coffers. We are bruised and broken and asking for more, are suffering the loss of high paying jobs, compounded by the bankruptcy (serfdom) bill that our president gleefully signed. Millions are starving at home for food, health care,social security,you name it while we spend billions of dollars every month in Afghanistan and Iraq, on Godless and thankless individuals. So I am feeling battered and angry because the only Republican in the current pack of morons who have tossed their hats in the ring, who even seems literate is Ron Paul. Sadly Senator Paul will never be elected in a country where people pay more attention to Idol than to economic growth, and to 'patriotism' over practicality.

So here we go again- what is a literate Republican to do?

Since I've been gone- Oh Elizabeth Hasselbeck, what have you done! :-)

I have been writing a book, and it has been hell. Actually the book is done I have simply been attempting to edit.. I have had to acknowledge that I am a tad overbearing.
I sometimes write six sentences when one is quite appropriate. I have to be honest- I really like what I have to say, but I have been reading that one needs to act outside of one's ego in order to write well- or at least get published.

The thing about writing, is that you can sometimes feel closed off from the world, for example:

Rosie O has left the view, beaten into her own flesh by lizzie Hasselbeck. I guess lesbians really don't have 'game' - (sorry, my street lingo never really had a chance to develop) 'Whaa you didn't defend me!!' Yikes
What I thought was cool about the whole thing, was that Lizzie H. seemed to be auditioning for a future job on the Fox Network. You really can't be afraid of defending my President if you work for Fox, and you definitely cannot shrink under the growing power of the crazy gay agenda.
While many people saw this scream fest as a couple of chicks whining, I saw it as one woman doing everything that she could to eviscerate the competition. Rosie O' was a force, an annoying force- but one none the less.
Lizzie H. knew, that eventually she would fade under Rosie's heft (no pun intended) and she simply seized an opportunity and struck. Rosie is loud but she is still a chick who suffers from depression, and caught on the wrong day.... depressed chicks are pretty easy to devastate!!
I eventually saw all the videos of this dust up and my favorite is the one of Rose on her blog dressed down and referring to herself as a 'foster child' - self indulgent little twit!!! Meanwhile Lizzie H has been 'rocking' (--again-- Sorry) the Cheshire grin along with the quiet composure of Lizzie- Queen of England. Nice.
Barbie Walters is still happy, 1.because after Rosie, they have realized that the ratings will always remain high if the audience gets free stuff, Duh and 2. no one really cares to hear the views of a sexually confused , politically insensitive, and self indulgent woman day after day after ........

All the Republicans are gone, and the skies are gray!!

For what it's worth, today has been a pretty shabby day.
The government is pondering the possibility of forcing bloggers to
register with the Government in order for them to monitor our 'activities'
This all started when John McCain decided that bloggers were I would imagine,
'too harsh'.

For What It's Worth
Stephen Stills, 1966


There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Really, if you have no idea what the heck this is, do not bother placing blame on your public school educators. Educate yourself- library cards are free .
You cannot blame your elected representatives for messing with the blood of American freedom if you have no bloody idea what freedom actually is.
