ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME

Ok, its time for America to get off its fat ass and clean house. We have a country founded on idealistic principals which our ancestors and even our own fathers and grandfathers fought for the sake of freedom and liberty in the face of Nazism and Fascism. What do we have to show for it today? A fascist regime in the White House. A regime that has total disregard for the Constitution, the diversity of the people of America and arrogance toward our world allies.
9/11 was a rallying point for our great country to bring cohesiveness to a joint venture in wiping out terrorism but instead, the cowboy sheriff in the white house and his deputy sheriff ( Barney Fife Cheney) rebuked the UN and did what it wanted, for their own personal gain. Halliburton got rich and Cheney and Bush profited as well. The Saudi Royal Family has the Bush family in their pocket ( why do you think Osama bin Laden is still on the lam?) Its all one big mess... and I can only plead that our congress finally kick their corrupt asses out of office, lets start with Gonzalves, and work our way to the top... C'mon America, grow some balls and make us proud to be Americans again...

This is Connaugh of Glenkerry and Waterford

Here is my best buddy, Connaugh ( pronounced Conner) He's a soft coated wheated terrier. When I'm at work, Connie spends the day with the claddaugh of cats, overseeing their mischief and participating if it looks like fun, such as tearing apart an old wool sweater, or chasing Goth Girl around the house until she goes postal...they all run away then...snickering and high fiving each other... There is the time when I drive off and I see Connie lying in the window big brown puppy eyes so sad that I'm going away for what seems like a year in dog years... When I come home, its the greatest thing to see Connaugh do his circle dance, he can do this for minutes on end..and like I said, in dog time minutes are like hours... he is amazing. Connaugh follows me room to room, lies by my side all evening suffering because I don't let him use the tv remote ( I am sick of Animal Planet) He does like American Idol and thinks Sanjaya should be eliminated, this dog has a good ear for talent! Connaugh loves dinner time, and stares intently at me and gets fidgety if I look like I;m going to clean my plate. Knowing that Connaugh likes everything, I leave things like Russian Dressing drenched lettuce and he eats it with zest! I think he'd pretty much eat anything as long as he thought I had eaten it... as for his Purina Dog chow.. he eats it as a snack between television shows and running out in the back yard to go winkies ( his word for a whizz not mine!). So this is my best buddy, and I just wanted people to see him and know that someone loves me more than anything..what a feeling, everyone should have a Connaugh, a Jesse, or a Mabel...Life is so much more bearable. Connaughs sends big sloppy licks.. his way to say, love ya!

Yahoo is at it Again

What the f*ck is going on with Corporate America? I just read on Huffington Post that Yahoo has given the names of Chinese subscribers who spoke out against the Chinese government! These Chinese people are like you and me... and there you go, they are now facing TEN YEARS in prison for speaking their mind...and why did Yahoo do this? Because they said it was an unfortunate clause in their agreement with the Chinese government to do business in China.. well isn't that swell... do you think they could have turned a blind eye? And while I;m on it..why don't they do something constructive like get rid of the pedophile chat rooms and child porn sites...things like that go on unnoticed... Yahoo has done this in the past with the American government, too quick to throw its users to the wolves..I say to all that read my blog..which I feel may not be many but spread the word and boycott Yahoo ( by the way, I have heard Google has done the same thing and it gives millions to the Republican party right wingers..but since I don't have the skinny on that one, I won't pass judgement "yet"... Freedom belongs to all men and women of the planet and we should never feel free until ALL of us share the same freedoms!

Weather is Fickle

Ok.. I posted this once, and the mysterious blogging trolls inside the computer found some erratica and it destroyed my blog.. not nice.. bad blog trolls bad!
Anyway, I was totally awed by how much snow had melted, we can actually see the ground as muddy as it is, we went from over 30.48 cm of snow on the ground to piles here and there from heaving it from walkways throughout the winter. So thinking this is the beginning of Spring ( which is one week away) the wild turkeys have returned to peck at the corn we throw out for the crows, mourning doves and pesky squirrels, birds a chattering away in the trees... how great! You can smell spring in the air...I actually could go out on the deck and check out the change in weather in just my boxers... so I came inside and turned on the news and weather and wha?... Do my ears decieve me? We're about to get another snowstorm Friday nite! Sweet jesus.. enough already! Another 30 cm of snow is more than I can bear... OH.by the way, I discovered that where I live is the foothills section of Maine, its the area that is between the Mountains in the west and the coast just east.. I always wondered about what section of midmaine I lived in besides the section that reminds me of every Steven King novel written... SOOOOO the only good thing I can say about snow is that 1) it contains nitrogen which is good for the grass 2) it will help keep the well full of water this summer ( yes we don't have piped in water, we have a well..) and 3)... I can't think of a third.. Snow sucks, cold weather sucks.. I want the warm sun back... in another year we'll be living in Florida ( I hope) and I;ll be complaining about the heat and humidity and if I do, please bitch slap the hell out of me :-)

Shades of the Nixon Era

Today Scooter Libby was found guilty of obstructing justice and perjury. Listening to that gas bag Cheney go on and on about this mans years of public service and how America is indebted to him..HA He's a crook, a liar, and his blatant disregard for our Constitution is what should be the focus of people. Whats this about Gonzalves firing all these US Attorneys who were investigating Republican politicos for wrongdoing? The BUSH administration is falling as did the Nixon administration, only this time, we don't have a Gerald Ford to take the wheel.. Speaker Pelosi, are you ready to be President Pelosi? America is waking up, its about time.
