Mental Health Matters

I am going to speak in front of my state legislature budget committee on Friday, specifically to address the enormous budget cuts my state is eyeing in terms of mental health (they are slashing everything and mental health services are one of the things on the chopping block).

I must get up super early in the morning to meet everyone at 7:30 a.m. to drive to the meeting, sign up at 9 a.m. and speaking starts at 10 a.m. We get three minutes each. I am still figuring out what I will say, to write on 3x5 cards.

Wish me luck!:)

With a watchful eye.

I am celebrating the inauguration of Barack Obama.

I do it reservedly actually ~ quietly watching, waiting.

I hope that he does do something for the disabled in this country. I especially hope there is better understanding of what it means to be disabled because of a mental illness.

(To be disabled because of a real disorder, it is Not imagined - so there, Scientologists and anyone else who doesn't believe in psychological disorders. Scientologists don't take responsibility for the Full You - brain chemicals and all. Explain my disorder to me then (unnatural mood-swings & all that it encompasses and yes, that's disabling). I would be dead without my mood-stabilizing chemical additives and a little understanding from a therapist, family & friends (perhaps not in that order!)

When I say that I hope that he 'does something' for us, I mean specifically his attitude is of great importance to me. An openess of mind and the courage to put forth the effort to break down barriers in that direction are things that I see great potential for, and that I am hopeful for.

I don't know what the future holds, if this President can be effective or not. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt right now and I certainly hope he will not only put bills into effect, while respecting his bounds as a President, but will be the face and attitude that Americans and the world can respect.

Note: I have noticed that I have mellowed greatly from my extremely angry days in previous posts that I named 'poly-ticks.' I feel almost that I should apologize for not putting a 'my anger in general can probably be triggering' warning on my blog for those previous posts. What a world of difference Abilify has made in my life.

For Jungletart's everywhere & especially Kenya: A Leopard in an African sunset

(Webshots)

May there be an end to the unbelievable inhumanity in Kenya. I pray for it's sunset end, and a dawn to civility and an embrace of a better way to treat each other and especially women with more respect.

Citizens all over the Earth hope that you will be brought to making courageous decisions and stop the hurt. It saddens the loving heart to hear of such at r oc ities.

This pain that I hear of sounds worse than Darfur, Sudan, which is vile and very bad, as well. The citizens of your sovereign nation cry and deserve for it to stop.

The Tart has limited powers, except to inform others. Kenya is in the NYT's constantly these days for its vicious attacks on leaders, women and anyone in the streets. It's a bad situation to say the least and I felt compelled to say so. Pray for peace, work for peace.

Remember those Other countries on the map?

So this British teacher is going to spend 15 days in the clink and will be deported afterward because:
She allowed her class to name a Teddy Bear 'Muhammad.'

Uh, I thought these were 'eye for an eye' people. Wouldn't taking an ugly doll of Osama Bin Ladin and lovingly naming it 'Jesus' be the more fair sentence?

Hell, certain portions of society are naming their kids Hey-Zues and there's not a damn thing we can do about it. I love the story about some Chinese parents who were getting flak for wanting to name their kid '@.' Hey, at least it sounds intelligent, futuristic, and damn it even creates some kind of weird html on my page.

If you thought whatever Arabic's country inability to separate church and state in the teddy bear case is UN-be-lie-vable, you didn't hear about the 400 extra lashings a muslim rape victim will have to withstand because she was with an 'unrelated man' at the time of her 7 'MAN' RAPE. Please don't ask for a link, you can Google it as easily as myself.

Yeah, the guys are going to get some kind of punishment, but all I can say is Gloria Steinem and The Feminist Bunch must be too busy with American foolishness, or too old, to say anything about a rape victim being further victimized by her non-U.S. government, even if we've apparently accepted that that country is sexually backwards and the women are forced to wear sacks every day, apparently among other things.

But then Americans don't REALLY believe anyone but themselves exist anyway, Right?

I swear I'm not cranky, but...

...here's a couple of today's Yahoo's headlines that still managed to irritate me:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071114/ap_en_bu/judith_regan_lawsuit
Judith Regan sues her former employer (a publisher) for $100 million.

Okay that seems reasonable enough, but click on it and you find (I found myself) dazed and confused in minutes because it's a complicated tale because she slept with somebody important, who's related to Rudy Guiliani, who told her to lie to the feds, and her name was smeared (not by her sordid tale of sleeping with the 'wrong' person but) by these bad and OH so important people...I know! Maybe the ho should just write a book! LOL Or just the f'n Cliff Notes - yaaaawn!


http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071114/film_nm/latam_movies_dc
Latin American fans ask "Where are our movies?"

Would it be too much to ask you to learn English?

Okay, perhaps that's a wee bit harsh for this particular story, which is actually concerning people living below Texas, and Mexico even. I guess they have the 'right' to whine about the overbearing output coming from Hollywood. Wanh.

But since half of those people are expected to be here in the U.S. in a decade or two (!), I hope I can be forgiven having the sentence above poised on my lips when they're officially (!) living here and asking the same frickin question.

Oh, please. I not only think it, yeah - I write it! And to be honest, I'm holding back.

They say I'm mentally ill, but I feel pretty clear as a bell, but I could be wrong. And who has a degree in English that may never get used, because nobody's f'n speaking it anymore? That was a lot of damn work and money to just get thrown away. I know that the average person doesn't care a lot about spelling or care all that much for the craft of writing, and I'm not perfect - but I do care. Now that there are so many people that couldn't care less to even Learn It - white, black, latin, or asian - that yeah, it does piss me off.

I wish that the U.S. Congress would have been able to pass the law that 'English is the language of the land.' Doesn't that sound so simple? But it really is key, it's a protection of our language, it establishes a foundation for public schools, and its a foundation that every American needs and should be on. It is also part of our identity and can help others become part of our identity as well! Look bleeding hearts, I know the white man destroyed the Native American, saved the best for himself and raped them too. Well, it's 2007, and I guess we are living with who we are pretty skippy, no? I know when there are so many people influxing into your little ol hamlet (hasn't happened? It will) that in your beastly little heart, you would like the newbies to learn your language, and to consider that they must have a driver's license to actually drive a vehicle (just 'cause you can BUY one doesn't mean you should DRIVE one!), and to follow all the laws of the land (you have to!), and - hold tight thy bleeding heart - assimilate. I have lost A friend over this (I think. The bitch won't tell me why she won't talk to me.) so I'm telling it True, as you well know.

There are billions of dollars poured into 'No Child Left Behind' yet it broke my heart and made me want to DO something when I read 4 out 10 high schools are drop out factories (it may be higher, maybe 6 of 10!) and teachers are overwhelmed with 9th graders reading at beyond unbearably low levels. Say that English is The language puts pressure on people to get it right, because we NEED some kind of solidarity, a fricking BACKBONE, if I'm reading any of these pathetic statistics right. If we can't even agree on what we're speaking, what every job is going to be spoken in, let alone really graduate legions of kids that DO have simple skills, then frankly that is havoc, that is incompetency and the wrong people are waking up in the mental hospital each morning.

Really, if those rich, dumbass bastards could have passed that bill, they would take away a lot of ambiguity and confusion. Not to mention, show that they might finally take even a tinkle of responsibility, which it is now unbearably clear it is not possible. What shall we wail over first?

Sure, there's PLENTY more to say about it, and Tart is definitely holding back. I almost wish I could tell you where I live, because we're on the news even! This area is saturated with illegals and a bazillion problems that come with it. My bleeding heart non-friend liv(ed?) in a rich area, and had no clue of, well, reality. People, someone, I don't know who, can look down on me, but all I can say is, it must be difficult, way up high, with that stick in your butt.

So I guess you fully understand my little breakdown of another stupid headline, no?
Next week we'll do something simple that doesn't take up so much of my damn time. Hah!

Pakistan, on the World Stage - Who would'a Knew??????

Okay, I think I'm one of rare people that heard of Pakistan in the early '90's.

I say that because I was living on campus with the President of the Pakistan organization on our campus. She was a Pakistani who was having a 'relationship' with a nice white boy on campus that she treated with such secrecy that you'd assume her parents would have slit her's (or his?) throat upon discovery - and now that I see how loving and forgiving these types seem to be, I am not surprised at her fear and care-ful-ness, concerning her "True Love" (Opposite of all that Mum & Dad would approve of) I think it was very selfish and not fair to the American guy. After all, she was all set with an arranged married (to happen after she got her All-American degree, I guess!) that had been set up since she was in 9th grade (when the acceptable husband-to-be got a look at her on the school bus, one day - I am NOT MAKING THIS SH_T UP!!)

Anyway, she dumped sweet American white boy (OH the DRAMA) and finally gave in to the 'Love' that was picked out and acceptable by the parents. Imagine my 'whut the', when she came to me one day (that would be odd right there) and started BAWLing and asked 'What to do, what to do.' It seems that she had been calling the fiance in a place that I kept thinking was Crotchistan, but I think it was Karachi, to the the tune of $3,000.

Well, you better get to selling yourself right now.

Oh, you shits who steal my stuff, these are my Memories, my School Days, the Best of College, you just don't know...

So now I'm hearing that Musharaff or whatever is di_king around with his country, putting the lady who just came in to help save his a_s in house arrest and all kinds of foolishness.

Look, Pakistan, We - the U.S. has been really gentle with you. We tried really hard to get through to your minds what We expect of you. You don't want to Listen? Ve haf vays of making you leesten, you buttwi_es. And who locks a woman in her house? China. Yes, China, you bastards and ve'ed like to give zim the what fer too.

I wasn't impressed with Princess Pakistani in 1992 AND I'm thinking that you all don't deserve your 3 minutes on the world stage now either, Pakistan. Get it together, Hon. You know, it's only because Gandhi gave a crap and starved himself for you on a couple occasions that we keep trying to get through to you. I for one, am all for bombing your sad ass in some order, after Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, North Korea, China (WHY is it so hard to manufacture a lead-free toy? Oh. Your chance is GONE), and the next SOB to act up. So sayeth the Tart.

Somebody Hacked Into My Site!

Yeah, some fiesty bipolar beyotch has been tapping into my things. I couldn't stop her when she said:

"Gee, Turkey, why you being such a big baby? The Congo still supports our war and we call them genocidal maniacs all the time."

"What up Soviet Union? If you don't want us to bomb Iraq, we'll start with your ass first and THEN get them. Since when did anyone give a 'Putin what you think?"

If you pay attention, this world is getting scarier all the time. I thoroughly believe that this Administration has never really had a clue which end goes up, and I'm sure it doesn't help when other people, besides real Americans, keep making unfair demands. Recently, people who ought to know better, like the ones above, seem to be coming out of the woodwork.

To top it off, David Letterman, usually a stalwart, trusted entertainer, at least in Husband's point of view, has been very off his game and as always, its Tart's job to point this stuff out.

For instance, I understand he hedged around what so many celebrity-slobbering-focused individuals want to know - Is Jennifer Lopez cooking a bun in the oven under all those loose fitting designer clothers? It sounds like he was loathe to ask her the important questions, much like the very painful espisode of 'The Daily Show' where Jon Stewart interviewed Lynn Cheney, which I did see. That was so painful because Mr. Stewart could not use any form of love and laughter with this lady because she is such a bitch.

Yes, you heard it here, I think our Vice Pres-wife individual is a horrible bitch (oooh, I mean that chick who hacked in today, does). She looks like the kind of hag I hate most: if the hair is teased and you're wearing your little gold earrings, you are all powerful.

I'm not even saying anything about her views, which are all wrong as well. We had to listen to her convoluted history entanglement, that twists things the way she wants it, because Jon Stewart was absolutely terrified of her, like they had threatened to bag him and beat him after the show if she didn't get her piece in.

Well, you know what Lynn Cheney and your lying, torturing administration can do?: bite me, I CAN see through you. While everybody got so entangled in the Jena6 (somebody DID beat the crap out of some kid, did they not? And is that not only against the law but against what society expects of human interaction??? The hanging of nooses is inflammatory, symbolic, upsetting, a hate crime and not right but does not justify revered leaders, whatever the color, to walk and speak with no care for the law and reality. I believe Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton just wanted the good 'ol days back, I don't see any real care for right or wrong, and I see their participation as a sign from the devil. I believe they should save themselves to properly explain and uphold righteousness for an ever-confused youth, not take part in every idiot party that comes along) nobody takes up the fight, or the banner, of the complete trashing of American and world-wide human rights that the Bush administration not only upholds, but then turns around and lies about. This administration is built on lies and travesties, with those in the know fighting for every classified, marked document, just to show the rest of us tip of the iceberg. I can no longer watch him, I'm not interested in the streaming videos, in the beginning for the verbal idiocy (by 2005 there was a daily calendar dedicated to his 'dumbisms' that we read at my job with the liberal media. Now I fear how much he has f'kd us in every aspect, from human rights to how much he has set us back environmentally. I think some bad stuff will come out about him. I just want him gone, and can only hope the next won't be worse.

Then I here that Mr. Letterman picked on Richard Simmon's outfit ruthlessly during his time in the 'chair.' Dave if you continue with this we're going to kick you off and say that your expiration day has come.

Mr. Simmon's is the sweetest of fairies (a lovely, delicate gay man) that gives hope to fat chicks everywhere (yup, that includes me). He's lost a lot of weight, he did it a long time ago and Mr. Simmons has kept off. He's proud of it and if he's not afraid for the world to see what looks like on a no-cellulite thigh day, then who the hell are you to pick on him? I'm thinking when it's all said and done, Dave, you probably wear something like this to bed.:)

Struggle For Democracy

Police officers clashed with students during a protest against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Tehran University. AP wire

This is the picture today that the Western world saw in at least one of its newspapers, The New York Times. I'm sure that it will be in newspapers all over the place, because the AP wire is the considered the number one news source for newspapers big and small, all over America.

The story in NYT http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/09/world/middleeast/09iran.html?_r=1&8au&emc=au&oref=slogin

in today's emailed paper is about the 100 or so student protesters that wanted to ask their President (dictator) the same questions that he was asked at Columbia University in the U.S. as to his crackdowns on freedoms, and the status of three students jailed four months ago, who are most likely being tortured, and have not been released.

I was looking for the Web site for Amir Kabir University in Tehran, and while I don't feel that I found the The Official Website, I found some other interesting, home-made blogs like myself, in some cases dedicated to political unrest in general, or even ones specifically for concerns in Iran.

But I didn't feel comfortable naming or linking these sites to my blog, because I don't necessarily agree with some of the political thinking. But, I assure you, if you can find my blog discussing this topic, you can use a Search Engine (I'm still using my GoodSearch to send money to the well-deserving Save A Pet in New York!) and find video, commentaries by those in Iran, as well folks here in the U.S. who are seriously interested in these and many other pro-democracy topics.

What I most wanted to post and say is that it has always been clear to me that it is the students who literally put forth their lives and are truly the most ardent, hardest workers towards Democracy and change in their countries.
You'd think it was the old men, or maybe some middle class movement that wanted change. But we see time and again (Myanmar's student protest in 1988 - crushed cruelly by its present government, China's memorable student protest in 1989 - will you ever forget the student standing in front of a tank?) that it's the students that even attempt the incredible.

May the Iranian students know that there are Americans thinking of them, may they know that we salute your courage. Know that we pray, and worry, for your safety.:)

Spanky, Spanky You Bad Military Junket of Myanmar

Novices, Myanmar, Webshots

What kind of military junket shoots and kills the most respected and honored aspect of their own pathetic lil country: known as monks? That would be the dumb folks running Myanmar.

Now being cut off the purse strings of World Banks everywhere, they don't know how to handle their shit and have gone straight to killing their religious community. Um, thinkin' hard here, has that ever solved anyone's problems? No, you silly junket what ARE you thinking?

Everybody's watching you. I'm just ashamed of this little country that sounds like a marshmellow candy bar and has been about as interesting on the international scene, has apparently lost all its screws and makes all the sense of Britney Spears in her hey-day (once again, having kids did not make her a better person, at ALL!). Relax a little, get loose, find a way to fix your gasoline issues without killing the guys who brought it to your attention.

Or else this little bipolar is going to recommend bombing your marshmellow asses - Cook 'er down, boys! Oh, and my government listens to my drivel or at least it goes without saying that its against the law to kill me. If I shave my head and wear a piece of maroon cloth as clothing, this PROVES I'm still better than your whole sad government. You need some behavior modification, Myanmar, and fast. Or someone's gonna take your funding forever and you're gonna be really lonely! Or just burnt to a crisp.

Why I Still Think We Should Bomb Iran

Yeah, yeah, nobody ever wants to say it, even though if Bush were planning attack right now, it would be the best legacy he’ll ever leave.

I watched President ‘blah blah ma mood’ talk at Columbia. I saw enough and listened long enough to him not only quote the Quran, but to quote it in such a way that clearly showed him to be that ‘special guy predicted to quote scripture.’ Unh, hunh, I turned him off.

Honestly, its hard enough to understand the Bible and this guy comes here quoting something clearly for his own country. Would Bush EVER quote the Bible in a speech anywhere? Did he quote it, with conviction & vigor, when we really needed it, after 9/11? So who IS this idiot, who hates Jews and refuses to acknowledge that his country even HAS homosexuals. I’m sure they don’t NOW!

Later I got to read what msnbc online had to say. I didn’t see the President of Columbia University give the misguided Islamic revolutionist the what fer on such topics of ‘Please explain how it is the Holocaust did not occur' - President ‘ma mood’s’ answer: ‘Okay, it occurred but what has that got to do with the Palestinians?’ a - hello- scary answer.

And if we needed to hear from someone who hates Bush while hailing from another country, and since that could have pretty much been ANY other country, why allow one in that’s probably trying to spy on our shit while ‘ma mood’ gets a moment.

Furthermore watching this asshole is like watching an early Hitler, who thinks he’s fooling everyone. And in case you don’t think those ‘Left-Behind’ guys and the the Book of Isaiah in the Good Ol’ Bible don’t it have correctly – When Iran bombs Israel, that is called World War III, because whether you like it or not, the U.S. has ties with Israel and so nuclear hell begins. You can’t tell me that SOMEone in the White House doesn’t read, (perhaps Laura?).

Look, I’m not the only one thinking these things. Our/Your representatives put it so well, that I will actually quote them:

On Capitol Hill, conservatives said Columbia should not have invited Ahmadinejad to speak. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said “there is a world of difference between not preventing Ahmadinejad from speaking and handing a megalomaniac a megaphone and a stage to use it.”

Newsflash: What is megalomania? Merriam Webster online defines it as:
1 : a mania for great or grandiose performance
2 : a delusional mental disorder that is marked by feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur

You know, what Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, said makes no sense whatsoever: either you don’t prevent him from speaking or you hand him a megaphone and a stage.

Didn’t they do both? They handed him a stage AND a megaphone. He and his country are so full of something, worse than a Cheshire cat, worse than a kid who used a marker on your couch and doesn’t want you to see the couch, or the marker behind his back.

I don’t care about the blah-blah coming out of his mouth. I’m concerned he said some code word to Al Quaida. I know Iran recently said they were closing up their southern border with the the north of Iraq, to make the US happy. What shocking thing will they do? What ‘King Ferdinand’ will they assassinate? Who will they invade?

It’s not paranoia, I told you I don’t get that. It’s good common sense.

Bomb them back to the days of Muhammad. Do them a favor. Instead of 'Nasty Little Government Speaks at American University' make it 'Nasty Little Government Meets Stone Age: And Likes it.'

No, I'm not kidding. And I look forward to my Iranian hits. THEY have to stay on long enough to translate it. :)

Why am I the only sane, large, glowing, (mega-glow-ing) manic on the planet?

A Turtle Invasion is Imminent!! And I Have Proof from My Own Backyard!

At first, it was cute. The little swimmers were almost fascinating as they came after my bait on my last fishing experience. (Note that I’ve been too traumatized since to venture again into another fishing outing! That, too, is part of their 'secret plan.')

Then it was a joke. I discovered that a web site dedicated entirely to turtles was a top ten, in terms of raking in readers! As crushing as it was for Jungletart’s soul, she responded by finding pics of the wiley creatures and posting them on her sideboard, complete with witty self-authored quotes. I’m always one to invite more readership. This occurred only a couple of nights ago!

But now it appears they mean business. They are fighting back, and soon I expect a full frontal invasion.

As it is, they sent a scout out just this morning into my backyard to scare the pooty out of my sweet Emma-dog, Emma-dog. I let her out (to the fenced backyard) to do her thing, only to hear her losing her Pug-gie mind, barking her head off and hair standing so tall on the back of her neck that she looked like a miniature hyena, only without the spots or built-in ugly.

Here she is shown below, in one of her quieter moments, always the Security Personnel:

The shots below were captured in the new amphibiatic war-zone. It’s a new term (I coined it just moments ago) but we need to accept that the turtles are coming, and they will take over the world. That could be anywhere at this point, but look in your backyard first.What was once a silly pipe dream, an unmentionable concept kept carefully from the public by our frightened but intrepid government, actually something so dreadful it really couldn’t have been dreamed of or comprehended before, has now become reality. You may want to avert your eyes or those of your sweet children. It is difficult to take. Heck, he almost got away before I got my camera equipment!



The documentary captured below by our intrepid reporter, ‘Tart (okay, I am news & entertainment reporter extraordinaire, typist, water girl, and Editor in Chief – a true Jaqueline of all journalistic/blogging skills!), shows clearly the enraged beast, shaking with fury, complete with evil red eyes.

An intelligent scout, he wouldn’t talk no matter what we did to him. Clearly, he's hiding something, and we're certain here at the blog, its only a matter of time before he returns to the others, uncovering our weak spots. They may be slow, the invasion may take time, but this is a clear indication: They are Coming. Boy, you’ve got to take these little funny looking guys seriously. I didn’t and now they are showing up in my back yard. No one is safe. Mark my words.


Seriously, its just too funny considering recent the documented turtle of events here on the blog. Too strange I'd say that one showed up in my backyard this morning. Paranoia is not my usual destroyer, but is it coincidence or in fact, do turtles love me and therefore can't stay away? A reaction of overwhelming support for my exhibited 'turtle love?' Are they looking for love in all the wrong places? Or in fact, planning an invasion of epic proportions?? You be the judge.

**Disclaimer: Absolutely no animals were harmed in the making of this blog post, not even for scientific purposes (I don't believe in scientific purposes). The barking sounds in the background of the video were Emma-dog inside the house losing her mind. She was too frightened of the creature even while outside to do any good for us, as a country, I'm saddened to say.

The turtle shook because its capture takes Lithium, but had we been forced to torture the turtle, it would be completely legal and endorsed by Homeland Security. I can't be held liable for what my country would like to do to turtles.

Although they may be coming to me for help, I assure you, I will probably continue to do the right thing, which included throwing the turtle into my neighbors yard, so they can figure out what to do about it and of course, continue the saga of doing the right thing.:) Thank you for your support, and Good Night.**

Crazed fan touches Brad Pitt...and I think he liked it!

For a year and a half, Jungletart readers have wondered: Who is Jungletart, what does she look like? Finally revealed here in this telling video, I've been caught on tape and I'm not afraid for the world to see. I'm young, I'm cute and Gosh Darn it, I'm not afraid to get frisky with a gorgeous hot celebrity in person!



I was able to hop a plane to another country (it sounded like I was in Italy here) and I want to thank my 'new' country that they didn't immediately shove me in a police vehicle for possibly torturous questioning like my 'old' country, America, is allowed to do because of our lowered standards for human rights and apathetic embrace of invasive new laws that most likely will contribute to the destruction of 200 years of civility . Well, I only tried to touch Brad Pitt and not someone presidential. It's understandable to want to touch Brad, as we can only assume touching Bush would be a bonafide assasination attempt. So, in the end, it's just all fun & games.:)

Gratzi, Italia! Tu es mi amore neuve!!! Vive La Tart!:) (Thank you, Italy! You are my new love!!! Long live the Tart!;)

If you hurt one Republican; you've voted for Hilary Clinton

Ummmm....could this be the most obvious, unnecessary headline/advice Ever?
How to avoid exercise-induced asthma

And that Craig guy has stepped down and apologized.

For what? You American people amaze me. Or should I say the American media who thinks and votes for you. Who did this guy hurt? You (as in either/or of the mentioned above) makes it seem like he is a freakin' threat to you, I, our children, the American eagle, President Bush, or somebody else that represents the core of America. If he indeed put his palm up in a men's stall, asking for sex, why is it your business? The dumb beyotch standing silent next to him (what, is she Jackie Kennedy? Why is that so 'cool' American media?) is the one with the problem. Her husband doesn't know if he's gay, bisexual or trying a new trend one of the Congressional pages told him about.

It doesn't hurt ME!!! I don't care! I've stayed out of it because it doesn't matter and and someone ought to say so. But now, he's quit his job, disgraced every Republican that's ever lived, and you have the audacity to question it NOW with headlines next to his leaving: 'was it a witch hunt?'

Yes, it was a witch hunt. Now, all of you press people turn in your pass, quit your jobs, apologize for flaming the name of good media everywhere. I want my money back for every url I might have clicked on and given you sad assh_les some advertising money. Then I want you to commit harey-carey on television. That last one is just for my amusement.

Confusion.

The Goldman family prints O.J.Simpson's/ghost written book about how he 'might' have killed their sister. When book first comes out there was universal disgust at its its suggestion. Now that they are using it to make the money that the sack was supposed to pay them in the first place, and claim it's okay now because its proof of his confession, my question is:

Are we supposed to buy it or not? Are we supporting a good cause or further spreading salaciousness, as originally thought?

We were supposed to boycott it, you dumbasses. Now it turns out to be number one on Amazon's top 100. Are we insensitive pigs or sending a well deserved donation to the Goldmans?


Money from Diana's legacy is going to help with Peru's recent earthquake. My question is:

Could we have a little Diana money to rebuild New Orleans? When is American going to cash in from any other country or beautiful relationship outside the U.S. (umm. Diana is all that comes to mind. Unless Fergie is donating Weight Watcher's money)we've helped in the past, to help rebuild any part of what is known as 'the greatest country in the world?' President Bush will fry for his indifference to black people, but I know Diana would have cared.

On the same note, if there is an earthquake, flood, tsunami, political upheaval, shooting, or personal death in the family in ANY OTHER COUNTRY in the world, America/The Red Cross/The American people out of their own pockets will come running to help and alleviate suffering. America has natural disasters, terrorist disasters, shootings, mine collapses, bridge collapses, crime rampant in the streets and on the internet, idiots in charge who do nothing about ANY of these disasters and who comes running to our aid? NOBODY.

I am incensed and expect a refund.

No aid to ANYONE until Ward 9 is rebuilt. Didn't Pres. Bush's daddy ever give him an allowance or teach him anything about money management? Told him to eat his peas or there would be no dessert? If so, that went out the window the day he was forced to piss his own pants and say, 'Me, really me, they voted ME INTO OFFICE??!!'

Today's Headlines - Yesssss, it's time Again!!

Okay, I don't make this cr_p up. Nope, most likely, I'm guessing some underpaid minion that works for MSN comes up with their headlines, which fills them secret joy, and that, as every evil Manager knows, makes up for for minion's piddly salary. People, PEOPLE, I was in charge of my paper's Celebrity section. NEED I say MORE???!!! :)

STRAIGHT from today's MSN:

Pencil pulled from woman's head after 55 years - Whoa-ho-ho! I am thinking that lady from 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' ("mmm-mmm-mm, what a little a__hole" - wasn't she just a cutie!) or some weird reference to 'Hairspray,' - saw it! loved it! Or a blatant referral to hairspray, the product, because they'll find a way to frighten that lady who really Does use too much of it. Oh, did I mention that I did not actually click on on the headline? Oh no, no, NO! We all need to experience the Headline, not the silly story. Do that on your own time! (Journalism majors, I know you love me. Those last two sentences remind me of one of my fave profs. And the fact that I am a god_amn genius! :)

Too young?
Married at 24. Crazy in love, or just crazy? - Oh my God, because I am a bitchy PMs beyotch, I could not resist this one. Um, sis-in-law just (LAST YEAR) got married at this tender age. I don't know what they were thinking either, except maybe they still wanted to be able to 'enjoy' each other in the tender sorority/fraternity years. When I say enjoy, I just mean, perhaps they will wake up next to each other 10 years from now and don't have an 'after party' freak out 'cause it actually IS time to clean up the digs and learn to cook. Um, explanation above. Don't get upset at the bearer of truth. :)

Miners Trapped After 4.0 Quake in Central Utah - my immediate reacTIOWN to this one was Bush, back in the Oval Office, going 'Dang, didn't I just go out there? (referring to the bridge break in Minneapolis, Minnesota) 'Well, this one's not our fault. I say they figure it out for themselves.' May I say, they would be better off 'figuring it out for themselves.' Mmm, mmm.mmm. This poor administration. Having national disasters, I mean natural disasters, at every turn. What IS an idiot to do? (OH! As a side note: Has everybody seen Li'l Bush on Comedy Central? I must pay attention to who the heck is writing that one, cuz he/she needs a big JungleTart smooch. Damn! That's funny.)


I HATE sports (it's one of those things that galvanized me & Husband, we could NOT care less about baseball, football, basketball, whatEVERit-ball, unless its NASCAR. :) BUT this one, I KNOW, took thought in the thinky-thinky department for that poor minion (probably has to post this stuff online for MSN AND think of headlines, oh I almost care.)
A ring for Ming: NBA star gets married

I know you're thinking, how could you post this stuff, it's just too easy! Precisely! This is the drivel we are fed everyday. You don't have to agree with me politically or anything else for that matter but...well, I AM right. God, don't read Bipolar if you don't want some Bipolar. Sheesh!

Have a pleasant day! And try not to think about what that liberal media is gonna cook up next! Oh, almost as an aside, have you noticed how utterly rabid the media gets at a 'real structural problem-oriented' disaster, like the Minneapolis bridge fall? I swear to the LORD, that if I hear about it ONE MORE TIME as I innocently flip my cable channels I will scream even LOUDER at my TV set. People, Anna Nicole dying was fascinating. This is a damn bridge. Oh I know, someone's going to say "Think of the dead in cars!" Think of the incredulity that this bridge passed inspection in 2006!!!! People, I have thought about it. I have contemplated it. I may have included important persons involved in my prayers. I may have said, to myself, to my television set and to the World: NO MORE!! No more will my psyche be raped and worked and pushed to sadness by that Liberal Godd_amn Media who has nothing better to do than do so (God love 'em, when they are not pissing me off). Thank GOD, something happened in Utah, to get them off the scent. After all, you know those miners are Mormons and going to Heaven anyway, and it's all a moot point. I'm just sayin.' Like you didn't think it yerself. Ciao! You have a gooood one, now!

Today's Headlines 7-17-07

The lowdown on the hodown on today's hot topics. I used to work for a newspaper. Now I use it to do crafts on.

They’re talking about not stripping Miss New Jersey of her crown because of racy pics. Have they just given in? If any other Miss America has ever been stripped of crown for these reasons, why are they just saying ‘fuget about it’ now? Ms. Williams, the first black Miss America ought to be seething cause that’s how they got rid of her and Everyone acted like it was the End of the World. Just because today’s youts are a bunch of sluts is no reason to forget the standards.

Today: '90 more people killed in Iraq bombings.' Last week: Bush says 'War Worth It.' Really? Just how is it worth an ave.100 dead per day? You know, there’s people around today that won’t be tomorrow, that thought blows me away. What blows me away even more is over 3,500 American boys are already dead and nobody’s marching in the streets over this. The Harris Poll says only ¼ of Americans support Bush at this point. So does this mean that the other ¾ are sleeping, or is that all illegal immigrants?

'Intelligence says: Al Quaida will most likely attack.' Oh well, do you think? This revelation is to stop the after-attack bitching of ‘You didn’t tell us this would happen.’ It’s usefulness pretty much stops there, since we don’t what’s going to happen. Well, all you canners and emergency paraphernalia securers better get on it, that’s all I have to say. Personally, destroying the Internet would be enough to make me cry daily, but you didn’t hear it from me.

Well, this was fun. We should do it more often.

That's not an apology!

Um, as you can tell I was rotten angry when I wrote my last post. I'm not taking it down because I do think the Iranian government sucks a big one. But I was not suggesting in any way that the Christian thing to do was bomb them. I think anyone with small clues to being a proper Christian can see that He wouldn't sanction that one. Well, maybe - you know He did get mad about things, but only the really important stuff. I admit to be a learner, not a teacher of His ways.

No, bombs and such were just what I inwardly felt, when I see them get away with terrorizing innocent people. Thinking that they are getting away with patronizing us about our own Christianity is rilesome as well. For instance, we could round up some Iranians in a detention camp and let them out on Muhammad's birthday, whenever the hell that is, to show our good faith. That's what I'm talking about - it just aint right.

Let's face it, the world is not going to get anything but scarier, more terrorized especially in some parts of the world as time goes on. We have a fine chapter in the Bible about it and I really should read it sometime to get caught up on the details. I'm just being truthful, I'm not as learned on that stuff as I should be. I'm definitely a bipolar with occasional rage issues, but again, that's just me.

Oh, see 'you guys' in a week. I'm on vaa-ca-tion.

Bomb em rotten, right into the StoneAge - right in time for Easter (blessings to you!)

Well, now that Iran has released Western sailors I do believe its time to bomb the f*ck out of them, don't you?

When known bullies do bad rotten things they get punished. The cops go to their house and take 'em down. Don't tell me we don't know where President Whatever of Iran lives. Bomb the fucks. Pay the price. Don't let them get away with it. Presidente Bush has made it clear he doesn't negotiage with anyone, not even the American people. Fine. I'm all for that. If you're gonna cut ties with everybody including the ties that hold you up, have the decency to give us all a little satisfaction and bomb em, behead them, start a little military coup. Make it interesting for me, G*ddamn it but make those motherf*ck*rs pay the price.

Here's what gets me the most. THEY (as in the Iranians) think this is all some fabulous media blitz and LOOK what huge favors they have performed for the West. I paid close to attention to this one - they said they are releasing the prisoners in and I quote, "In Celebration of Christ's Death."

That's it, "Christ Death." and blah, blah about Muhammad. Easter is NOT about Christ's DEATH. That was but a momentary 3 day long thing. It is about His RISING from the grave and being a permanent source as a risen Supreme Being. Are these people devil worshippers delighting in His horrible man-made death? No Christian celebrates the Death of Jesus. They wait with hope and celebrate the incredible miracle of His love. What is the deal - the spin makers and media cranks for President Whatever of Iran couldn't get it right? Never the heard the Good News apparently and certainly didn't think people would care about the VERY TELLING SEMANTICS of what their sick statement about Easter REALLY says? Bomb the f*ckers. Jesus would say turn the other cheek and let them take Irish Air Men next time, so no I'm not being very Christian about the whole thing (admittedly, not at all!) but let's not have a bunch of Muslim fucknut liars who think they're pulling the wool over our eyes and having a personally orchestrated media frenzy define what Christianity is or how 'kind' they are by 'respecting' it. What a load of crap.
