So let me get this straight...
The man who can't tell the difference between a medical facility and a Triad run "Cat-house" is the only man that can save health care? Seriously?

I look upon alllllll politicians of every political persuasion with suspicion. Check.
I like to point out when police over step themselves, abuse their special powers and treat the population like sheep that are dispensable and need to be kept in their place. Check.
Don't be shy ask away......

My Lord love a duck...
Britain is no more. This from the land of the stiff upper lip, the people that gave Hitler the middle finger and refused to cower or be humbled by the blitzkrieg.
OK it is disco, a blight, a dark stain upon the musical landscape but come on now.
Seriously?
Thank you Great Granny and Great Grandpa for hauling your behinds on a boat and leaving....
The spokesman said a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing harassment, alarm or distress under section 4a of the Public Order Act 1986.Oh dear da dear dear me, what exactly did this lowbrow racist thug do to illict arrest and all this hoopla? Why he sang this during one of his sets at a bar.
OK it is disco, a blight, a dark stain upon the musical landscape but come on now.
Seriously?
But after one of the passers-by reported his routine on Sunday afternoon, Mr Ledger was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment.Well now someone needs to alret David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Jeffery Katzenberg what rascist dogs they are.
‘We were performing Kung Fu Fighting, as we do during all our sets,’ he said.
‘People of all races were loving it. Chinese people have never been offended by it before.
‘But this lad walking past with his mum started swearing at us and making obscene hand gestures before taking a picture on his mobile phone.
'We hadn’t even seen them when we started the song. He must have phoned the police.’
Officers later called Mr Ledger while he was eating in a Chinese restaurant to arrange a meeting.
The singer assumed it was a prank – but he was later arrested and is still under investigation.
Thank you Great Granny and Great Grandpa for hauling your behinds on a boat and leaving....

Planning ahead works.
Jeepers I hope this is true:
Reverend Phelps and his gang of folks, that give lawyers and Democrats a baaaaaaaaaaad name, attempted to protest at yet another soldier's funeral.
Didn't exactly work out as planned.
Except for a wee assault, multiple cases of forcible confinement and the extended questioning of folks with out probable cause, pesky legal details, (you know me always sweating the small stuff) I really hope that more folks take it upon themselves to be non-violently proactive in stopping these nut jobs from disturbing the mourning of these grieving families.

Rankin County handled this thing perfectly. There were many things that were put into place that most will never know about and at great expense to the county.
Most of the morons never made it out of their hotel parking lot. It seems that certain Rankin county pickup trucks were parked directly behind any car that had Kansas plates in the hotel parking lot and the drivers mysteriously disappeared until after the funeral was over. Police were called but their wrecker service was running behind and it was going to be a few hours before they could tow the trucks so the Kansas plated cars could get out.
A few made it to the funeral but were ushered away to be questioned about a crime they might have possibly been involved in. Turns out, after a few hours of questioning, that they were not involved and they were allowed to go on about their business.

Creeping Facebook...
Here is a great summer job to have folks. Creeping facebook for Police agencies.
Pays pretty good to according to one of my nieces who was at an interview and has friends who work there already.
Her job, should she chose to accept it, will be to creep facebook alllll day long to check for dumb bunnies who post their illegal activities on facebook. From the big stuff all the way down , who's growing pot in the garden, fights/assaults on videos and photos of drug use, to illegal "raves" & "Bush Parties", log it (depending on severity or time sensitivity of info, perhaps even notify a supervisor) screen catch it and it will be forwarded to the proper agency. Sweet job eh?
But most folks only let their friends access I retorted.
Well (she replied) it is not hard to set up fake profiles and get folks to accept ya, everybody accepts just about everybody especially if you put the same school or play the same games or get ther friends to accept you. Most folks are stupid and naive.
Well how do you know who to creep?
Search engine: Facebook. keywords of criminal activity. But really once you get a "live one" the trail from one friend to the other can keep you rather busy. Apparently you get regulars after a while that you use to find others.
Disgusting.... Facebook is not your friend.

More grope my children please!
You knew it was only a matter of time, now if this guy had only kept his activities at the office ( where they belong) it would be totally legal.
No mention if the "sexually explicit" photos were copies of scans of the children he taken during his time at work. (that would be keeping you and I safe from brown folks with bombs strapped to their hemorrhoids)
TSA the new job destination for Peddos now that folks have cottoned on to that whole Catholic Priest mess. Dream job, getting paid to take nude pictures of little kids and patting them down, all in a professional manner of course....
All I can add to this whole TSA nonsense, is being a Canadian, I'm going to keep my Family (and my above par money $$$$$$$$) at home, your pre-sky check is waaaay to friendly for me and mine.
A passenger screener at Philadelphia International Airport is facing charges that he distributed more than 100 images of child pornography via Facebook, records show.
Federal agents also allege that Transportation Safety Administration Officer Thomas Gordon Jr. of Philadelphia, who routinely searched airline passengers, uploaded explicit pictures of young girls to an Internet site on which he also posted a photograph of himself in his TSA uniform.
Homeland Security agents arrested the TSA officer March 24, and he is being held without bail.
Although the case was unsealed Thursday, neither the indictment nor the news release mentioned Gordon's job searching airline passengers for TSA.

Another Boot to the head....
Lesson number one children, Don't video tape your betters, they don't like it, it's disrespectful or something...
Lesson number two children: Now remember kids please don't resist the nice officer when he is kicking your face or punching you, he might get upset with you, that creates stress that must be further relieved upon your person.
Crooks said he now regrets not telling the officer that he was in fact standing in his own driveway. His realizes his response seemed cheeky, but he said the officer made him nervous.
Colling walks toward Crooks, his left hand raised.
"Turn that off for me," Colling orders.
"Why do I have to turn it off?'' Crooks responds. "I'm perfectly within my legal rights to be able to do this."
The officer repeats the command several times; each time Crooks reiterates his right to film.
"You don't live here," Colling says, now close to Crooks.
"I do live here!"
"You don't live here, dude."
"I just said I live here!"
As Crooks backs away, Colling grabs him by the shoulder and throws him down. On the ground, Crooks grabs the camera and turns it toward his face.
Colling's leg then enters the video frame. Crooks says he believes that was the kick that broke his nose.
The video doesn't show it, but it the camera records Crook screaming. He said that's when Colling was punching his face.
"Shut up!" Colling yells. "Stop resisting!"
'A WORLD OF HURT'

Every child is a unique gift
something lke a snowflake.
This is my 7 year old daughter's new favorite movie:
Her "bestest birthday present ever" this year was a kid sized frying pan, she even takes it to bed ( we manage to persuade her to leave it in the van when we go out, just in case she forgets it somewhere.). The fry-pan is Rapunzel's weapon of choice. Rapunzel is a Sampson like character who's magical powers are generated by her uncut hair.
While going through her scrapbook she noticed the lock of golden baby hair tucked into a vellum envelope.
Little One: Mommy you took away my magic when you cut my hair! Did you know what you were doing? You shouldn't have done that!!!!!
Insert visual of blnky eyed Grey right here.
Grey: Now Little One you have to understand that the movie about Rapunzel is not real.
Little One , who takes EVERYTHING literally: Mommy of course it is real, we even saw it together, so the DVD is REAL! I'll go get it and show you it s real.
Grey, changing strategy on the fly: I know that the DVD is real, but the story isn't real, it's a fairy tale.
Little One: Mommy! Of course the story is real, you even used to read me that story! Don't you remember?
Grey stepping carefully : Yes, but that story was pretend..
Little One: It's not pretend, because we have a real book about it, I can even go get it and read it to you.
Grey getting blinky eyed again,the reality of her understanding dawning on me: Now Little One...
Little One: Mommy! I'm tired of explaining real to you when you should know that, your grown up!
Grey making a hasty retreat while I formulate a REAL plan to explain real and pretend: We will talk about this again another time.
Little One: O.K. but I don't know what else to say to get you to understand.....
Oh brother.........

Listen up Peeps!
In the Spring it becomes apparent (to moi at least) that mankind is forever tragically divided into to two differing categories of thought and purpose. The rest of the year I am able to push this disturbing truth aside like any other confrontation avoidance, self medicating, fragile psyche.
Folks are (so misguided, so sadly mislead, a product of EVILLLLLL American indoctrination, so in need of proper taste bud re-education, all fluff and no substance, please send money so we can save them from themselves) this:
A peeps sweet fan. Oh the humanity! :O(
I know but someone had to come out and finally put the truth on the plate! It's just all so very tragic really, because it all could be so easily avoided, Kids, just say no to peeps when you are handed the first one, be strong!
Or you are with the RIGHT thinking, tasteful (and dare I say) hip and elite majority.
A Spring time treat that has..solid....ummm...er...real substance to it. like chocolate!
Time to pick sides and join the revolution of perfect taste and unseat these puffy peeper posers! Eggers unite!
Vive la Egger nation!!!!!!

All the News that
your allowed to print:
Journalism school isn't what it used to be, now if the story wasn't about one of their own Profs, with strippers, in the class room there might have been a story there....
"We didn’t publish a story because we weren’t allowed. This begs an explanation and a confession: the La Salle Collegian is not a real newspaper. It is a student newspaper, more specifically, a student newspaper at a private university. As you may infer, the differences are astronomical."

You can skip this one,
It's just for me.
I have always found the cattleman's behind to be a thing of beautiful engineering and a symbol of his inner health and power. He's always had one of those athletic bottoms that bring a smile to my face. One of those bottoms that when he is walking you can see the definition and every muscle work in concert together. Yeah one of those "one in a million" perfect bottoms of a fit and muscular man.
Men lots of women are into man butts, yes we are, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
Just over two weeks ago the Cattleman came home from work and went straight to bed, no dinner (or breakfast as he works nights lately) Got up, took his food and off to work again. This pattern repeats it's self for about a week during which he gets a wee cough, that quickly upgrades to a serious cough, which quickly upgrades to coughing up blood. This is very bad and he is a very bad Cattleman to hide such a thing from GL and try to continue working all the while feeling like a bag of mashed manure. His feeling is he has always been healthy and able to get over everything so why would this little hitch be any different? If you ignore something long enough it will go away....men are weird and need a good kick in the bottom sometimes.
Lets try to long story shorten it about here shall we? I found out what he is hiding from me, grabbed his fine behind and took him to see his doctor, thank you, thank you, thank you, family doctor who saw him as soon as I mention the blood. He has one of the following three things, Pneumonia (had it a while by the docs estimation, on some super serious antibiotics) that new fangled T.B. that's all the rage again, Probably not but sent for tests on Thursday and Friday and the big C. Probably not as he has not smoked in over twenty six years. Except for tests and doctor visits this man has not been out of been able to stay awake, no appetite, no energy.
Back to my love of the Cattleman's bottom. I saw it Friday, I mean I really had a good look at it assisting him from the shower back to bed and what I witnessed, it scared the bejabbers out of me. All definition, all musculature is gone. How the hell does that happen in a two or three weeks? How does one's body deteriorate so fast in such a short time frame. Dumbass letting this go, I could kick him in his dumbass and not feel the least bit sorry about it.
I think for the first time I am actually contemplated a possible future without my rock, my partner in thought crime, the love of my life. I have no wish to do this, no interest in raising all these children myself, (It has made me realize I do need a more solid plan b, the cattleman and I have taken care of things financially but is that enough? sucks but there it is) so once he is over this little road bump I am whipping him, really US, back into shape. No more Mrs. nice GL nope not me. Drill Sargent GL, hyper picky dietitian GL is what it's gonna be...once he gets better he's gonna wish he was back in the sick bed I tell ya.

Poor Bastard...
I remember when I first read the US was no longer allowing Trial by Jury for sentences under 6 months anymore. This was disguised as a "cost cutting measure". Right...it is a maneuver by the state to disallow an accused the opportunity to a fair trial judged by his peers. The new trend in law enforcement is to "stack" several charges all worth 6 months or less, have a judge rubber stamp it as per the prosecution request and Voila you have a person serving consecutive sentences of 6 months or less that can stretch out decades.
Good job there rigging the system.
Jury tampering in this case seems to consist of standing outside on a curb of a court house handing out pamphlets and talking to people about Jury nullification and Fully Informed Jury Association, a perfectly legal thing to do, but a real pisser to TPTB who would rather keep folks ignorant of their rights and or purpose as a juror.
Heicklen is/was looking forward to HIS day in court where he could argue his case and beef up the profile of Jury Nullification. Apparently TPTB have slightly different plans for Mr. Heicklen:
How convenient for the prosecution.... no pesky judged by his peers nonsense will clutter up this trial. A penny saved is an accused turned guilty easily, no muss no fuss.......no justice.
Good job there rigging the system.
78-year-old libertarian rights activist Julian Heicklen and his wife were rousted from their bed in Teaneck NJ at 6 AM Friday morning by federal officers serving Heicklen an arrest warrant for failure to appear at an arraignment on charges of jury tampering.

This guy is sooooooo white
he makes Casper look colourful.
This is the so called Naturally ruling inclusive party that is soooo bloody immigrant friendly?
The we got your back Bro party? Where day be den eh?
That handpicked audience looks (on the whole) very very old NTTAWWT and very white, NTTAWWT either, I have some friends who are white and old, they are very nice people, people that have no rhythm and can't shot basketballs worth a lick.. but still very nice people.
P.S. Mr. I, You don't do Evangelical very well....you have the charisma of a two day piece liver on a paper plate...you lack sincerity and purpose....stop..now!
Do I hear an amen on that?

Lord Love a duck!!!!!!!
To think one day you could well have a grand-baby bouncing on your knee and you can bore them with tales like this one: Sonny/Sweetling I can remember waaaay back in 2011 when gas was just 1.29 per liter or 4.88 per gallon. Those were the days eh?
Sheesh that hurts, but there is NO inflation eh? That's the good news.
I remember when I was a wee one in Montreal, my Dad would pass a gas station because they were charging 45 CENTS a gallon. (high way robbery according to him and they did a lousy job on the windows and were lazy with the oil level checks) Yup kiddies we used to measure in gallons..I would ride in the front seat at three, no seat belts with my Dad sipping a rum and coke or beer, chain smoking right beside me.(All perfectly legal and socially acceptable at the time ). and I am old enough to remember that.. My Dad was a funny guy, he filled up his half empty gas tank when it was 40 cents a liter and then never let it drop below half a tank again, never once in his whole life. Incredible inner discipline and I have always wondered how much energy does it take to be that anal? Over gas levels in your car? He would chuckle and talk about how years later he still had a half tank of 40 cent/liter gas ..like he was sticking it to the government and oil companies or something.......like he was a financial genius or something...apart from that he was a genius.
Miss you Daddy.

Bullying in schools is only an issue
because teachers and the system model it so well.
Teacher gets ONE day unpaid suspension for telling students to surround fellow student and oink at him because he was too messy.
One day for singling out a very young child ( he was in kindergarten) and having the whole class ridicule and humiliate him at her bidding. Egads... this person has no business working anywhere near children, let alone put in charge of or in a position of authority over children.
“The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality” ~ H. L. Mencken
Teacher gets ONE day unpaid suspension for telling students to surround fellow student and oink at him because he was too messy.
Hayes, according to the letter, had repeatedly warned the child to be neater but on March 16 told him, "Your area looks like a pig sty. Oink. Oink."
Students in the classroom told authorities that Hayes told them to encircle the child "and call him a pig and make pig noises," according to the reprimand.

Grope my children, please!
O.K.
I can hardly credit that there are people who believe it is not only acceptable, but preferable that they allow government officials touch their children's privates in the name of safety.
Mommy to 5 or 6 year old daughter:
Sweety let the nice lady touch your privates, it's OK really, they are just trying to keep you safe, then go pee in a cup, in their presence, so they can test you for drugs...egads..... is there no level sooo low that a government employee won't sink to in the name of the mother land?

Hey it's Vancouver
Maybe the Ref is a vegan.....
Could have been worse, could have been Octipus throw night in Detroit, which is pretty much any night during a playoff round.
Yeah I like hockey, how Canadian eh? It was either love hockey or hang out with the figure skater crowd..Not that there is anything wrong with that....

Feeble tips for fellow strugglers
Some things I know to be true:
When driving on a two lane highway out in the sticks, if you are following a pickup packed full of boys and they are doing 70 on an 80, (instead of the standard 90 or 100) I'm thinking those boys are up to some kind of no good.
The other thing I know is if that same truck starts drifting off onto the gravel and then over corrects into the on coming traffic lane, those boys have started the weekend a wee bit early and all plans of passing them is instantly revised to me slowing to about 60 to give them plenty of room.
Just saying......

Finally!!!!!
Actual signs of SPRING showing up here,
I am not so fond of those honkers in the fall, it's like the honk of doom for me. I am not exactly a huge fan of looooong cold winters. Now if I could winter on a tropical beach? That would work....
One of most favorite of flowers, just because it means the worst is definately over.
Lastly one I think all dog owners can relate to.

Bric and brac
You ever have one of those days immediately upon waking you just know that what ever life throws at you you can handle it gracefully, with ease, with boundless energy? That you scoff at what is on your to do list? That the cosmos is gonna conspire to let you do what you need to do today and everything is just gonna fall into your lap?
Today is NOT that day...... :O)
