I know McCain  and his staff are hitting the panic button but this is just ridiculous..

The McCain campaign is now broadening their attack on Obama's past association with William Ayers to include Michelle Obama -- even though McCain has repeatedly said spouses should be off limits during the campaign.

The attack? Bernardine Dohrn, Ayers' wife and fellow former Weatherman, went to work in 1984 for the major Chicago-based national law firm of Sidley & Austin, and three years later, Michelle joined the mega-firm as well.

That's it . That's the best they can do that two women  worked in the same firm that employed over 500  people. They did not work on the same floor work or  on a single case together they just worked for the same firm.

How sad and desperate is that.? 

Sarah Palin has been harping on one string lately, that is her one talent,and the particular tune she is playing currently  is that Obama was a a known associate of a terrorist . Really, when William Ayers was a part of the weathermen Barack Obama was EIGHT. These days Bill Ayers is a respected educator and hasn't buiilt or advocated building a bomb in  years. He and Sen Obama have sat on the same committees and I believe Ayers endorsed him at the beginning of his political career. I've sat on a lot of committees with a lot of people some of whom I really disliked and had nothing in common

But if McCarthy-era guilt-by-association is once again a valid political consideration, Palin, it would seem, has more to lose than Obama. Following her own logic, Palin thinks so little of America's perfection that she continues to "pal around" with a man--her husband, actually--who only recently terminated his seven-year membership in the Alaskan Independence Party. Putting plunder above patriotism, the members of this group aim to break our country into pieces and walk away with Alaska's rich federal oil fields and one-fifth of America's land base--an area three-fourths the size of the Civil War Confederacy.

AIP's charter commits the party "to the ultimate independence of Alaska," from the United States which it refers to as "the colonial bureaucracy in Washington." It proclaims Alaska's 1959 induction as a state "as illegal and in violation of the United Nations charter and international law."

AIP's creation was inspired by the rabidly violent anti-Americanism of its founding father Joe Vogler, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American," reads a favorite Vogler quote on AIP's current website, "I've got no use for America or her d***** institutions." AIP's central purpose was to drive Alaska's secession from the United States. Alaska,Current Chairwoman Lynette Clark, says Alaska "should be an independent nation."

Vogler was murdered in 1993 during an illegal sale of plastic explosives that went bad. Plastic explosives? Aren't they used to make BOMBS? The prior year, he had renounced his allegiance to the United States explaining that, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the stars and stripes, promising, "I won't be buried under their ****** flag...when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."  Neither Palin has never denounced Vogler or his blatant anti-Americanism.

Palin's husband Todd remained an AIP party member from 1995 to 2002. Sarah can be described in McCarthy-era vernacular as a "fellow traveler." While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP's 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska. The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP's 2000 Convention. She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP's 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year's 2008 convention. In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight!

So when Palin accuses Barack of "not seeing the same America as you and me," maybe she is referring to an America without Alaska. In any case, isn't it time the media start giving equal time to Palin's buddy list of anti-American bombers and other radical associates.

TO:  GOD

FROM: THE DOG

Dear God:  Is it on purpose our names are the same, only reversed?

 

Dear God:  Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?

 

Dear God:  When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?

Dear God:  Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the  colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a Dog? How often  do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?

Dear God:  If a Dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad Dog?

Dear God: We Dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and  Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

Dear God:  More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.

Dear God:  Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I  have to apologize?

Dear God:  Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good Dog.

1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up. 

2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just  because I like the way they smell.

3. The Litter Box is not a  cookie jar.

4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.

5. The  garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.

6. I will not play  tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

7.  Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying  'hello'.

8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table .

9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.

10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.

11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.

12. The  cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that  noise, it's usually not a good thing.

 

 

P.S.  Dear God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

 

  'Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened'

 

 

 

 

 

I have beenn watching the McCain Palin rallies over the past few days and frankly they are just a little scary. First, the introduction  seems to always involve saying Barack HUSSEIN Obama as if to point out he is different, possibly foreign or God forbid, Muslim. Then as Ms Palin rambles on on Obama's pallin around with terrorist. The crowd goes insane. Cries of "traitor" "kill him" lynch him" ring out. Are these people just insane ?How desperate are they?  I believe in freedom of speech but you just don't shout fire ina crowded theater. I am becoming very concerned for the safety of Sen, Obama with some obviously unbalanced Republican supporters running loose. This is very sad and disturbing

I find this very interesting. The evidence was overwhelming  , there were even tapes and still they found the man guilty.Funny, it didn't work that way the last time., guess Karma just takes a little longer to work than I thought.

I maybe wrong but it seems like over the past week MCCain seems a little more sharp and on track ,less exhausted.DO you think he's started on Aricept? I's supposed to do wonders for early onset Alzheimers.

Besides having hands laid on her to protect her from demons and witches Sarah Palin believes the earth is only 6000 years old and man and dinosaurs raomed freely together.   Does this strike anyone else as a bit off?

When I was a kid growing up in the DFW area there were two weather men, Warren Culbertson and Harold Taft. When I moved to Waxahachie over 20 years ago  I met MY weather man Mr. Culbertson. He was a charming, errudite man who was a delight to know and talk too. He was active in Waxahachie and remained a hometown boy untill he passed away this weekend. He will be greatly missed. 

Can we say over reaction? It was a Prank, it WAS funny. Send  them to in school suspension fora couple of days. Sixteen hours in Jail is  just sully.

I'll make this brief. I had high hopes for Hinijosa, he has failed miserably. I cannot understand why the parents of DISD students and every single tax paying citizen of Dallas isn't out there screaming for his resignation and a recall of the entire school board. If I were so unfortunate as to be in that district I know it is exaclty what I would do. I am  further astonished that TEA hasbn't stepped in . Does the name WIlmer Hutchins ring a bell?

I once spent a highly frustrating hour trying to get a student to find Phoenix Arizona on a map, He persistently  tried to find it  first in Europe and then Africa. He was doing a little better than John McCain and he had a functioning IQ of about 70. You cannot tell me John McCain actually knew he was talking about Spain and it's prime minister. I have listened to that train wreck of an interview several times now and it gets worse every time. That his staff tried to make It better by insisting that he knew he was insulting the Spanish government is appalling.I know he is probably exhausted and that the campaign is very draining and he IS 72..BUT,do we really want this man in charge? Do we want him fumbling around trying to remember the difference between Iraq  and Iran ,Shite and  Suni, Erope and South America?
Surely, someone on his staff has written" there is no Czechoslovakia"  on his hand for him by now.So far in this campaign he has shown he is  CLEARLY not an expert on foriegn relations and he is totally out of touch with our"fundamentaly sound"economy. He main campaign theme, that he intendends to be an agent of change, is highly suspect as he has been in Washington for  26 years and has yet to effect any great change, Sorry folks he is too old and out of touch with reality,this man does not need to be President of the United States.

 If I have been  absent since my birthday, a lovely one by the way, it is because I have had a plethora of house guests.
Our sweet foster daughter, was under a mandatory evacuation from her home in Orange. She called late in the afternoon of the 11th and asked if we minded if she brought the boyfriend.  That was of course no problem. A later phone call revealed that his family also was evacuating and had no place to stay.  This gave us an excuse to "meet the parents". They were wonderful people and we really liked them.  We also like their daughter, her daughter , the two weenie dogs  and four canaries. Eventually we had 8 adults, 1 child, 11 standard poodles, two weenie  dogs 4 cats and several canaries and 2 and half baths. Bear in mind I am counting a 19 year old girl as an adult. Have you ever asked a teen age girl to share a bathroom ? It was great fun, I cooked mass quantities of consumables and we played a lot of games. I loved coloring with the baby and I got a chance to really know the young man our daughter is dating.  I was amazed at how cheerful and strong they all were. It was obvious they were very worried but  they  had done everything could to protect and prepare their home after that it was in God's hands.. I would have been a nervous wreck/ They left early this morning  and called a little earlier to say that they had minimal damage and limited services but  were cooking outside and were going to bed with the chickens. The house is very quiet tonight , I miss them already.

Bush / GOP Sarah Palin
This is finally it for me, the straw that has broken the proverbial moose’s
back! I thought maybe it would be her membership in "Feminists for
Life", the staggering amount of hypocrisy coming from her camp, her
daughter being the poster child for what happens when we teach our children
that birth control is dangerous, the stance on how her daughter's pregnancy is
a "family matter" we should all stay out of, but my private medical
decisions should be made by politicians, because they are not "family
matters"?
But no, none of that has enraged me as much as the most recent discovery
that while Sarah Palin was Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, she charged rape survivors for their
rape kits.

A rape kit is a sexual assault forensic evidence kit, used to
collect DNA that can be used in criminal proceedings to assist in the
conviction of those who commit sex crimes.

The kit is performed as soon as
possible after a sexual assault or attack has been committed.

As a
general rule, rape survivors (nor victims of any other crime) are never charged
for collection of evidence.


While Palin was Mayor, survivors were charged between $300 - $1200 for rape
kits.

As someone who has been a long time volunteer at my local rape
crisis center, I have seen way too many rape kits administered over the
years. It is not a pleasant process for survivors, but more of a re-victimization.


And to be charged in order for the police department to collect the evidence,
is yet another re-victimization!
And to add insult to injury, once you have been through this traumatic
ordeal, then been charged for the police to collect the evidence, Sarah Palin
will have 1.

blocked the ER from allowing you to receive emergency
contraception before you leave so that you can make sure you are not
impregnated by your rapist and 2.

if you do become pregnant by your rapist, she
does not support your right to an abortion in the case of such violence.


NOTE: Gov. Tony Knowles signed a sexual assault bill to change this horrible policy in 2000.

I guess I should be used to politicians' who lie. It is the norm and always has been . However, I am a little shocked when Sarah Palin repeatedly stands up and says she didn't want  the Bridge to nowhere. "Thanks but no thanks:" Talk about the BIG LIE

CNN anchor John Roberts played a videotape of Sarah Palin in a 2006 gubernatorial debate in which she endorsed the bridge from Ketchikan to Gravina Island saying, "I'm not going to stand in the way of progress that our congressional delegation and the position of strength that they have right now." Perhaps her supporters, noting Palin's support for banning books, teaching creationism and doubting global warming will argue that for her, calling the bridge "progress" was her way of saying she was against it.) But the Anchorage Daily News forecloses that option, reporting, "In September, 2006, Palin showed up in Ketchikan on her gubernatorial campaign and said the bridge was essential for the town's prosperity."

Really? Thanks but no Thanks" they really must think we're stupid
