Political Rant (Warning)

July 17, 2005 Written by Lisa

First though, a thing I found funny. Lately, the blog spammers have been busy! Woo-Wee! I must delete about 100 comments a week that they send. Normally, I don’t even look at what text they write because it is just BS. But I spied this one and just cracked up.

Logging into this website should be a requirement for anyone knowledgeable on earth these days…

But of course it is! Goodness.

And so should reading the following important post I found on KOS penned by Kid Oakland. I won’t put it up here on the main page since it’s rather long, but if you feel as I do about what the FUCK is going on with our country under the Bush Junta, I urge you to read it.

Goddaughter, I love you like my own child and it is precisely because I love you so that I fight against what is being done to our country under the man you voted into office. I won’t stop loving you because of that lapse in judgement (grin) but I will help get him and all those he associates with OUT of power because as sure as I sit my butt in this chair just a’blogging away, he and his cronies are undermining every single thing that our ancestors fought to provide. You may not see that now, but in time I hope you understand what is being done to your rights and why I feel so very strongly about it. For you, for me, for all of us.

A selected piece of the longer article:

Bottom Line: Now is the moment we must demonstrate that BushCo. has been the biggest lying machine to ever set up shop at the White House. They’re not patriots….they are traitors…and we must not only say that, we need to prove it.

They did what they did to our nation with open eyes and clear intent. You know it and I know it. Our nation needs to know it. And we all need to say it.

Read on, McDuff (if you dare!)

Float over here, float over here

July 14, 2005 Written by Lisa

… care for a bit of a top-up?*

So yesterday it was nice and warm. Pool temps in the mid 80’s. All was quiet on the eastern (shore) front so I decided to get in the water and float around under the sun. Ahhhh, that was lovely. I must say. And this way, I will get a tan on more than just my forearms and feet. I need to look like an island regular instead of some tourist.

I think word has spread in the froggie community that the Snarky house is, shall we say, not terribly hospitable to those of their kind. And perhaps it’s best if they all just went next door to NG’s house where he has a lovely little pond just for fishies and froggies. (I won’t mention that it’s really just a sunken bathtub with water and some green scummy stuff on top because we don’t know that that isn’t Hilton quality to frogs.) We don’t have 4 or 5 suicidal frogs in the pool any more so I am pretty sure word has gotten out. Either that or we’ve kilt all the frogs ’round these here parts and the rest ran away in fright.

Please note that while I dig this “staying at home” thing, it’s not an overly productive way to spend my time. Here I am, what? a month and a half into this new gig and I’m still just a drifty girl, floating from one day to the next. Gotta. Get. A. Routine. Soon. (or else what?)

I’d say almost TGIF but it doesn’t overly matter to me what day it is. (check check – are these meds working?)

Bright spot of the week: HOCKEY is back! Wooooo Hoooo!

Sing it with me! – “Hello out there, we’re on the air – it’s hockey night tonight! The tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice. The goalie jumps, and the players bump, and the fans all go insane. Someone roars, “Bobby Scores!” At the good old hockey game! Ohhhh! The good old hockey game! It’s the best game you can name! And the best game you can name is the good old hockey game!” Let’s go Caps!!! C-A-P-S!

Sad news for Don & Mike listeners

July 12, 2005 Written by Lisa

Just heard today that Freda, Don’s wife was killed in a car accident on Sunday.

For those of us who were dedicated listeners to their show, Freda was definitely a highlight of the program. She was such an integral part of the show and clearly Don adored her. I can’t imagine the show without her.

It is my fervent belief that when it’s our time, it’s our time but damn. This just sucks horribly.

(Very sad now and I didn’t even know her but she seemed way cool)

Peace to you, Freda. You will be so very missed. I know you are in a better place and will still be keeping Don straight from the upperworld.

Random Stuff for a Tuesday

July 12, 2005 Written by Lisa

Well, guys, I’ve got nothing. I am officially leading a boring life. Today my schedule consists of taking the car to “Duty’s Automotive” (guess why we picked that place to take it to?) for an estimate, maybe cleaning the bathroom, and getting the omnipresent snowball. Yee Haw. I should be taking advantage of all this time doing nothing to do more customer emails and earn my keep while I’ve got this lovely opportunity.

Anyway, a selection of interesting things I’ve found on “the internets”:

From TableTalk (written by Paul Minot) re: the fun meltdown of the strange Tom Cruise:

And Tom–until the Church of Scientology opens up a chain of psychiatric hospitals and clinics around the country and starts treating Medicaid-funded chronic schizophrenics like I have–rather than cherry-picking rich neurotic Hollywood assholes with imaginary problems to “cure”–than you can kiss my psychiatric browneye, you know-nothing prick! I can’t wait until six months from now, when your naive little starlet wises up and dumps your ass big time, you Level 7 Poohbah or whatever you are.

Tee hee …. I gotta agree with this dude. TC, you looked great in Risky Business and Top Gun (ahhhh!) but honey, STFU about shit you know nothing about. And quit pretending you do, too. Just go back to looking pretty, keep your trap shut, marry your current child-beard and go on about your little life. I promise we will all forgive you this little foray into public life as long as you look purty (and you’ve got about 3 minutes left for that so take it now while you gain. Paul Newman you ain’t, darlin)

What goes up must come down or Universal Law number 12: Karma is a bitch

WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is suddenly facing damaging evidence that it misled the public by insisting for two years that presidential adviser Karl Rove wasn’t involved in leaking the identity of a female CIA officer.

From Daily Kos (post by Armando):
Two years ago, Scott McClellan lied on behalf of Karl Rove and/or the President or McClellan was lied to by Karl Rove and/or the President.

It can not be disputed now that Karl Rove did indeed “leak classified information.” McClellan denied this fact two years ago. Who told McClellan to tell this lie to the American people? Was it Rove and/or Bush?

Why do I speculate as to whether the President was involved in this lie to the American people? Very simple. Karl Rove STILL works for the President. He has not been fired.

Forget for a moment whether a crime has been committed. The Special Prosecutor will determine that. What we know TODAY is that the Bush Administration lied to the American people. The question NOW is who directed that this lie be told? Was it Karl Rove?

Or was it the President of the United States?

Now, I have watched this admin get out of some things that I was sure would at minimum tarnish them or ultimately bring them down. Like a slippery eel, they divert attention, lie, cheat, steal – they do WHATEVER it takes to continue on with their agenda. So, while I would not be surprised to see them get out of this one (Gannon/Guckert anyone?), I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this may be the beginning of a rocky slide on down the mountain. (how many cliches can I pack into one sentence?)

Science!

July 7, 2005 Written by Lisa

Yes, I participated despite having to admit all of 3 people read my blog (should my Uncle Charlie count for two since he loves me so? heh (waves to her adoring fan club president)).

Take the MIT Weblog Survey

And stolen from PitViper at Salon’s Table Talk who says it much more eloquently than I ever could:

[snark] I have to publicly retract all my hatred toward the vile, corrupt fuck monkey.

I mean, we attacked Iraq and caught Saddam Hussein, the mastermind behind all terrorism in the whole world (Osama Bin Who?) so the London attacks must be some kind of mirage, or staged by those irritating French – so huffy about the Olympic thing, you know – so of course it couldn’t have been Al-Quaida because G fucking W said we won and who wouldn’t believe him? Sorry ’bout all my evil thoughts regarding you, vile corrupt fuck money. [/snark]

I am thankful that GOL and family were NOT in London this week. I told her I would have had to throw myself off the nearest bridge and the Bay Bridge is quite tall so it wouldn’t be pretty. And I’m trying for the “Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse” club. So far, I’m 0 for 3. Unless by “living fast” you mean go to the Kmart(s) TWICE in one day! :)

Anyway, my thoughts and prayers and Reiki blessings go out to all our friends in London and around the world. I saw a sticker the other day on a car that said “God bless the world. No exceptions” and I liked that. We are all connected in ways so many of us cannot see. (sigh)

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
