View Article  A Day for Heroes
MONDAY, MARCH 31

It wasn’t until a few minutes ago that I noticed there is a theme for the day:  Heroes.  This evening I learned that Michael Monsoor will be the 5th post 9/11 Medal of Honor.  Celebrating a Royal Marine L/Cpl Croucher – HERO!  Have you read this story?

View Article  Blogging for Big Mac – An Idea Whose Time Has Come!
BIG MAC BLOGGERS
Today the WTimes featured a piece by Stephen Dinan about how the blog world bailed out the McCain campaign.  I wasn’t there during those do or die days where everyone but a few people, including Brad Marston, were burying John McCain.  I do know there was not a great a blog presence for McCain as the Times would have the world believe.  

Captain Ed picked the story up at Hot Air.   I find the revisionist history rather fascinating.  Like Beth

View Article  Barack Obama, Planned Parenthood, John Tanton & Eugenics
KEEPING AMERICA WHITE

Last night on his show, Sean Hannity profiled several young women who discovered that Planned Parenthood doesn’t mind taking donations to promote abortions within the Black community.  This started me thinking about John Tanton and his anti-Hispanic eugenic ties. Is there a connection?  Is it possible that the ultra liberal Planned Parenthood is nothing but a tool for racial cleansing and “keeping America white?”

Maybe it is stretching a little, but when you consider the usual suspects and the agenda, it sure looks like all this is part of an agenda.  And the agenda sure looks like ...   more »

SUNDAY, MARCH 30

2008_03_30t212706_345x450_us_baseball_bush Employment Opportunities?

I can’t believe I sat down and watched a good 7 innings of the season opener.  The Prez looked good.  The ESPN interview they did with him was far superior to the White House Press Corp.  Joe Morgan did a great job, and asked some good questions.  Then the Prez did just a little play-by-play, proving when he is unemployed a year from now he can always get a job doing baseball!  

The Braves infield looks good.  Even for opening day it was tight.

View Article  Those Who Are Without a Conscience
PSYCHOPATHS ARE VERY REAL

“…"Psychopaths are social predators who charm, manipulate and ruthlessly plow their way through life, leaving a broad trail of broken hearts, shattered expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret. Their bewildered victims desperately ask, 'Who are these people?'"We often think of psychopaths as the disturbed criminals who capture headlines and crowd the nation's prisons. But not all psychopaths are killers. They are more likely to be men and women you know who move through life with supreme self-confidence -- but without a conscience….” Robert D. Hare, Ph. D.

View Article  A Democrat Lies About Big Mac & Conservatives Fall for It!
ATTACKING BIG MAC
I admit it.  I am furious.  I am so sick and tired of these people and the things they do about immigration reform I could say something really tacky.  I’m not.  I am furious at the way they take the word of a racist little twerp like Heath Schuler over John McCain over that deplorable SAVE Act.  Somewhere it needs to stop. Right Pundits is resurrecting that debunked claim of DEMOCRAT Heath Shuler that John McCain blocked an yet another suicidal immigration bill.

How long are good decent people going to allow nativist extremists to control the ...   more »
View Article  Windstream Telecom Is Incompetent!
SATURDAY, MARCH 29
I think the title says it all.  I’ve discovered I AM NOT THE PROBLEM.  My DSL goes off periodically requiring a complete re-start, just about every hour on the hour.  It’s not my Ethernet cable.  It isn’t my NEW Airport-Extreme.  It’s NOT ME.  The problem is with Windstream Telecom.  I don’t know if it was part of that chain reaction that took down quite a bit of the East Coast yesterday or not. I do know how to locate the local supervisors for Windstream on Monday.  If you don’t’ see a posting, just consider me under arrest.  ...   more »
View Article  There Is No Difference Between Jeremiah Wright & Patrick J. Buchanan

THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME

I’m really tired of people on the left damning anyone who criticizes Jeremiah Wright as a racist.  I’m also sick and tired of those on the right defending their hard-line stance on immigration reform while criticizing the likes of Jeremiah Wright.  They are both cut from the same cloth, just a different pattern.

Last evening I posted the trivia about the new McCain ad and Powers Boothe on the top Tombstone forum.  It was well received, but on another forum the haters came out of the woodwork.  I was afraid of this, and did my ...   more »
View Article  The Other McCain - Fun and Innocence!
THE MCCAIN BLOGETTE

Several weeks ago Sally Vee suggested I start reading Meghan McCain’s blog.  It is a refreshing change of pace, revealing the innocence of a young woman who is also an admitted Daddy’s Spoiled Little Girl, and all that entails.  (It takes one to know one, trust me). Her blog entries are happy. They are often funny, and are honest.  We’re dealing with a young women who clearly adores her dad, and is only now realizing how important he actually is (to the rest of the world).  You get an honest look at her Dad’s campaign ...   more »

ISP PROBLEMS – AGAIN
I would love to be able to nuke Windstream.  I’ve been dealing with them since 5:15PM and it is now 9:08.  Something is going on with my ISP and naturally it is me.  I’m working a slow as molasses.  It is now 10:14.  Since writing the above I have had yet another call to Windstream.  We’re talking about being on hold for 20 minutes, 18 minutes, and 45 minutes.  My first attempt was with one of their outsourced “experts”.  I finally managed to get one of their supervisors who helped me regain my ...   more »

OBAMA-RAMA (or) SOMETHING ELSE?

This is more of the for what it’s worth. No serious blog will even touch this stuff.  But it’s Friday and there’s not much going on except a pile of McCain bashing. I have no idea what is going on here.  One thing is apparent, it appears there is someone murdering gay black men in Chicago.  So far only two have turned up dead.  Both have an on-line hook-up connection (as you shall see).  If another young black gay male in Chicago turns up dead then they will call it a serial killer – maybe.

View Article  “Curly Bill” Narrates John McCain’s New Ad
THE TOMBSTONE IRONY CONTINUES!

John McCain was shot down over Vietnam on October 26, 1967 and taken prisoner.  Anyone who has a mediocre working knowledge of the Wild West knows that the Gunfight at the OK Corral occurred on October 26, 1881.  In the movie Tombstone, the roll of Curly Bill Brocius was played by Powers Boothe.  Now Boothe is narrating the new John McCain ad.

THURSDAY, MARCH 27

Rumsfeld’s favorite human, Corinna had a little girl last week.  She is the 1st grand-daughter and 1st girl in the family in 27 years.  I think that tells you the state of Grandmother’s emotional stability and baby hogging.  From what I hear Corinna gets to see her when she is nursing and that’s about it.  Babies should go to families where they are drenched in love.  This little one will be getting just that.

I played care package person today.  Walgreen’s had their huge stuffed Easter bunnies at 75% off.   It’s a huge stuffed animal. Sydney, age ...   more »

 ATTACKING BIG MAC

Look, just color me cynical.  I’m worried.  Things are WAY too good for John McCain right now.  If this were October, I would be a very happy person.  Unfortunately this is March.  What goes up must come down, unless…. Something like this occurs:  Condi may be interested in the VP spot.

The Phoenix from Phoenix?   Unfortunately it is too early and there are too many anti-McCain conservatives and way too many NON REPUBLICAN anti-immigration nativists who will do just about anything to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery.

SANFORD NO GO FOR VP
I thought I would throw a little bit of Spanish in for all my anti-immigration readers.  Brad Warthen interviewed Lindsey the other day.  The Palmetto Scoop has the video.  What fascinates me is the fact that Lindsey pinpoints the problem within the GOP, basically making it a victim of its own success.  South Carolina is almost a one party state now – all GOP.  The problem with that is the fact that we now deal with good Republicans v. bad Republicans.  Lindsey discusses this in some detail.

I find all this talk about Mark Sanford ...   more »

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26

Evidently the trauma is over.  Everyone, and I do mean everyone is exhausted.  The four-legged members of this establishment are all sleeping.  I’m still working.  I have an interesting video clip for tomorrow morning on Lindsey and the SC VP choices.

It has been a long, windy day.  I did Altar Guild this evening.  I’m glad I did.  Fr. Penn had a wonderful homely about Christ appearing to the Disciples a few days after His Resurrection. I think I may have learned something about faith this evening – we don’t have much, that’s for sure.

View Article  Reuters Great Big Border Whammy?
TRUTH OR FICTION?

Anti-immigration Nativists are holding a wake for the much heralded Border Fence in Cochise County.  First, it would be nice if some of these Nativists would ACTUALLY VISIT Cochise County and spent a little time there talking to someone other than the inmates at the OK Café, or the few anti-immigration neo-fascists who actually reside in Cochise County. Case in point is the mourning for the Border Fence, that a Cochise County rancher has pronounced DOA.  It is tragic.  So sad.  But – the problem is John Ladd, rancher is question, is one of the very few ...   more »
View Article  BREAKING NEWS: Mommy Cat Lost 4 Kittens!
SAD NEWS

Earlier today Raymond discovered the tiny bodies of 4 kittens.  Evidently at least 2 of them were stillborn.  The other 2 died not long after their birth.  I thought we probably had 2kittens, but there were 4.  At least one was born on my bedroom floor and the others in the closet - on the new white carpet.  After several days of emotional distress, everyone seems to have finally settled down, exhausted. 

Mommy Cat and Rumsfeld were still fighting early this morning, but now seem to have made peace with one another.  She is finally sleeping, no longer ...   more »

Living Legends began in May 2005 with a very small team of seven dedicated angels.

The team's mission was to let the families and friends of fallen heroes know that we were here to support them and to honor their loved one.

At the same time, they had to make sure that they were sensitive to what the family was going through. While this team has grown tremendously, they have worked very hard to maintain that same level of dedication and sensitivity.

This team is staffed ...   more »

TUESDAY, MARCH 25

I am exhausted.  Last night after posting, I realized that Mommy Cat has gone into heat.  It was weird.  The arguments with Rumsfeld continued.  Her attentions to Miss Beverly Sills continued.   I think it was around 1AM or so that I finally went down to my bedroom.  My nice white carpet resembled the floor of a slaughter-house.  Blood was everywhere!  I did not look in the closet.  Just the sight of the blood made me feel queasy.  

Mommy Cat keeps looking inside the closet, then stepping out, obviously not nursing.  There are no kitten sounds.  What ...   more »

Today I won my 3rd vote for John McCain.  I may have won more for him, but I can only account for those three, four if you count my mother.   All three votes were hard fought and won, not through blogging, in fact none of the voters has even read The Pink Flamingo.  Maybe I don’t count the third one, it was the son of a friend I converted.  Maybe that his my friend’s vote.  I’m not sure, but I can account for three votes for John McCain.
