Devil With A Blue Dress On

Monica Lewinski is moving to England in order to attend The London School Of Economics. This is a great chance for her to improve and enrich her life. I just hope she doesn't blow it.

Getting Brownie Points

Former F.E.M.A. Director Michael Brown testified before a Senate Committee investigating the Government's totally inept response to Hurricane Katrina. "Brownie" pointed his finger at more people than an irate motorist suffering a bad case of road rage. Perhaps the only thing more disasterous than the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is Michael Brown's reputation.

Our House Is A Very, Very, Very Fine House

Congressional Majority Leader Tom DeLay has been inticted by a Grand Jury for campaign finance violations. Of course this has brought out a number of assorted Bushies screaming "FOUL." I guess if you don't like a call in Baseball, you just shoot the umpire.

I Was Wrong..............God LOVES Fags

A Leading Christian Theologian claimed that the massive destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina was God's wrath because of a scheduled Gay Rights Rally origionally planned to be held in The French Quarter during the time of the storm. Ironically, the only area left virtually untouched during the Hurricane was the French Quarter of New Orleans. I guess that means that the fags are the chosen people and that God just hates everybody else on the Gulf Coast.

God Hates Louisiana

If the licence plates on your car have the term "Sportman's Paradise" on them, God has a bullet with your name on it. Forget about global warming, peak hurricance activity cycle or Governmental inactivity. You people of the gulf coast are heathens, therefore you people must suffer. The wrath of the almighty has begun because HE is pissed. Personally, I thought he would start his getting back at you activity in California, but I guess he is going to begin with you evil Mardi Gras folk. You should have invited him to one of your Crew Parties. Well, it's too late now. Work on your back stroke.

Deep Thoughts

Love can sweep you off your feet and take you on a ride that you have never experienced before. Eventually it ends and you only feel lonely and bitter. Wait, I'm not talking about love. I must be thinking about riding on a a monorail.

Kudos To 'Yall

I just want to congratulate all of the Local Authorities, Police, Fire Departments and assorted Agencies that worked so efficiently in response to Hurricane Rita's havoc. You people did it good and did it right. Salute.

A Cut Above

Traditionally, the Republican Party has supported a fiscally conservative Government, making cuts in the budget whenever possible. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has confused making cuts in the budget for making cuts in it's efficientcy. Is there anybody around who will admit to voting for George?

Lovely Rita

Hurricane Rita is bearing down on the Gulf Of Mexico and George Bush is already taking all of the necessary precautions so as not to have a repeat of the monumental, pie in the face, governmental screw ups experienced with Hurricane Katrina. He has ordered a mandatory evacuation for all of Florida's crooked voting machines.

STOP IT NOW

I just received yet another of those annoying e-mail chain letters. Until now I would hit the delete button and forget about it. Until now. I sent the misguided sender of the letter an e-mail telling him to stop sending these ridiculous and annoying "love messages." Everybody hates them. Everybody is annoyed by them. Everybody wishes that the senders would lose all ability to use their fingers. If the sender pulls the stunt again, he or she will be getting bombarded with pictures of an obese woman doing some very unnatural things to a bananna. These people have got to get the message loud and clear. STOP SENDING THIS CRAP. Get some therapy. Get a life. Better yet, just stop it.

Deep Thoughts

It is so refreshing to stop by the 'ol playground and see the kids jumping up and down screaming and running. I guess that the joke is on them. The gun only contained blanks.

You Gotta' Have Heart

Nearly 40 years ago, Dr. Christian Barnard performed the very first successful human heart transplant operation. Due to her strong religious convictions, my mother was vehemently opposed to this type of procedure since it was her feeling that "no man has the right to play God." At the wedding reception for the daughter of some family friends, she had the opportunity to meet Betty Annick, the very first woman to have a human heart transplant. Her stance on the subject of human organ transplants made a complete turn around. Perhaps putting a face on a concept can make it completely different.

Oops

George Bush has finally taken responsibility for the Government's inept handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. All we need now is for Sirhan Sirhan to admit to killing Bobby Kennedy. When a football team consistantly screws up, don't they usually fire the coach?

Splain It To Me Lucy

My niece asked if I would put a musical collection together to be played at her up-coming wedding reception. No prob. I thought that it would be a nice touch to include various songs that are the favorites of assorted couples in our family. I asked what was her and her fiancee's song. "We don't have one," was her reply. I asked the same question of her brother and his wife and got the same answer. What is her parent's song? Ditto. Heterosexual couples absolutely confuse me. They can watch "The Jerry Springer Show," N.A.S.C.A.R. races, go to church and have Tupper Ware parties, yet they can't take the time to come up with just one song to call their own. I guess it's like "Gay Republicans" or "Jews For Hitler." It just don't make sense. I always thought that every couple had "their song." I guess that it's guess again.

Generally Speaking

Having grown up as part of the Viet Nam War generation, my attitude towards military personel was the same that most have towards police officers. You don't want one around until you need one. Well, Three Star General Honore is a guy who we need around. He has taken command to over see the devestation left in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and he is taking the bull by the horns, accomplishing tasks one step at a time. Not prone to philosophise, he is just getting the job done, or as the people at Nike say. "Just Do It." New Orleans is safer than it was and the clean up of the city is under way. General Honore, I salute you.

Oh My God, Pat Is Right

The people of New Orleans have experienced the wrath of God because of all of the debauchery that occurs in their hamlet. The members of the 700 Club have had their prayers answered in having 2 openings occur on The United States Supreme Court in the past few months. Perhaps Pat Robertson is in fact the true messenger of God. If I was Hugo Perez, I'd be looking over my shoulder.

Don't Forget To Write

Michael Brown, the head of F.E.M.A., has been reassigned to a new position with the Government. Boy, I didn't see that one coming. Now, have the powers that be put the finger of blame away, or will it be pointing at a few others for their incompetant handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster? Hey, I can think of at least one other person to point at. Hmmm.

Oh, Babs

Apparently, foot-in-mouth-disease is a genetic disorder effecting the entire Bush family. Barbara Bush, The Prez's mother and former First Lady when she was married to George H. Bush has the insightful compassion that the rest of her family is inflicted with. In an interview regarding her bent on the Katrina Catastrophy, Barbara said that she thought many of the people evacuated to Houston's Astro Dome were living in better circumstances than when they origionally resided in New Orleans, before the hurricane hit. Gee, I always wondered where George learned all those practical lessons that he is blessed with. Apparently at his Mommy and Daddy's knee.

Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition

In Wisconsin the majority of people are either Catholic or Lutheran. Other religions there that are held even more sacred are bowling, The Green Bay Packers and beer. Last fall, Chai Vang spit in the Holy Water of one of the most sacred of institutions. He is the man now on trial for shooting six men while deer hunting. His claim is that it was self defence. He must have used magic, holy bullets however, since four of them made a u-turn and entered the victims bodies through there backs. This wasn't his first time being in trouble with the law. He has had other weapons as well as domestic violence charges against him. It just isn't safe up there to hang out in the woods with a loaded shot gun any more. Cancel my vennison order.

Just Say Yes

Yes, it has been a major castrophe of mass destruction. Yes, countless numbers of people, mostly poor and black, will be adversely affected by it for years to come. Yes, the horrible ramifications of it will haunt us for the rest of our lives. Yes, I'm talking about..............The Bush Administration.

Katrina Continues Taking It's Toll

The devestating hurricane that wrecked havoc throughout the Gulf Coast continues to leave it's mark. The Mayor Of New Orleans has now issued a mandatory evacuation order for all remaining residents due to the insurmountable danger that exists. It is estimated that a loss of 400,000 jobs due to Katrina will occur. New Orleans Police Officers have resigned in droves, two already committing suicide. People's lives have been snuffed out or at least been turned upside down. Now, I'm not one to go pointing fingers - Hell, who am I kidding - but I keep going back to the sign that President Truman kept on his desk. "The Buck Stops Here."

Relax, Don't Do It

I admit that it is a real ego biscuit knowing that people take the time to read the assorted rantings and ravings I post on my BLOG. Ocassionally they even make a comment on my post. Lately however, I have noticed bogus comments made by a variety of people who say, "I love your BLOG. Now check mine out where you can find how you can save money on your auto insurance, real estate, Amway...........whatever." Is this the latest ploy to get you to buy something? Well, it aint't working on this boy. So stop it. You internet psuedo salespeople are really annoying me.

He Still Must Be Bushed

I have taken several jabs at our beloved Commander-In-Chief over his general ineptitude, his failure to respond to a crisis and his frequent and extended leaves of absence from The White House. Come to think of it, we probably are better off when he is on vacation. Now he has those two Supreme Court openings to contend with. I also have a feeling that there will soon be an opening to fill at F.E.M.A.

Holiday Reflections

I hope that everybody had a pleasant Labor Day Holiday. I know I did. I just took it easy, relaxed, didn't do anything. Gee, I guess that now I qualify for a position in the Bush Administration.

Oops

The head of F.E.M.A. - the do nothing hurricane organization - was appointed to his position by the Prez because of his stellar credentials. He ran an Arabian Horse Association. His predesessor reccommended him to George because he considered him to be the most suitable person for the position. It didn't hurt that they also had been college roommates. The predesessor now runs a company that benefits financially because of it's close ties with F.E.M.A. It's nice to see old cronyism is alive and well. Too bad that some of the residents of the Gulf Coast can't say the same.

Don't It Always Seem To Go.........

My sister called me today and told me that her refridgerator had died. Seems her husband made the discovery when he went to get a beer and it was warm. This falls into the catagory of things that we miss once we don't have them. Like living in the South in July and your airconditioning goes out. And when certain people exit our lives. And when we are sitting in our cozy living rooms and see the devestating effects of huricane Katrina throughout the Gulf Coast on our television sets.

Confucius Say.....................

Wo-o-o-o-o-o-sh

Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist's body wasn't even cold and George had someone ready to appoint as a replacement. I only wish that the Prez could have acted this swiftly responding to the hurricane crisis. For a second, I thought he was physically and mentally challenged. Perhaps daddy hit him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

Sister Sledge Said It

Pledges of financial assistance because of the devestation left from hurricane Katrina have poured in from over 70 nations around the world - and some of these countries are not ones we would invite to a sleep over. Iran, Cuba, even Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez - he's the guy that our beloved Pat Robertson put a bulls-eye target on - are sending monies to help ease the tremendous financial burden caused by this horrible disaster. Now don't go channelling it through The 700 Club's bank account - the folks down South will never see it then. I guess that America is no longer the fiesty, independant, super power it once was. It really doesn't matter in a crisis such as this. As the folks at Nike say........just do it.

See 'Ya Bert

Bert Sebranek died today. His real name was Albert, but everybody called him Bert. He was a neighbor of my parents who I have known for almost my entire life. Not a mean bone in his body. The kind of guy that you are supposed to have as a neighbor. Need a garden tool? Ask Bert to borrow one of his. A decent person who I will always remember. Hey Bert, let's go to the neighborhood tavern next time I see you. Maybe this time you will actually let me pay for the beer.

I'm B-a-a-a-a-a-ck

Supporters of the President are distancing themselves from him faster than rats escaping a sinking ship. Even George must be surprised by America's incredible outpouring of support for the victims of hurricane Katrina. I guess that the President's support base is too busy hiding in bushes stalking Abortion Doctors or camping outside comatose women's hospital rooms to notice the devastation going on in the Gulf Coast. Our Government's lack of immediate support for these people is a disgrace. The voting booths in the next election hopefully will echo American's disgust for our Federal Government's lack of decency. And George still has three more years to flush the toilet.

Ciao Chief

William Rehnquist, Chief Justice Of The United States Supreme Court has died. This means that a man who cannot handle a natural disaster, our Economy, or a war, gets to appoint yet another right-wing zealot to the Court. As Adolph Hitler said to Eva Braun when he heard that she was pregnant, "Hotsy Totsy, another Nazi."

Have you ever considered what your pet must be thinking when it sees you returning home from the grocery store carrying a bag filled with chicken, pork and beef? It must think that you are the greatest hunter in the world.

O.K., I'll Lighten Up......For A Sec

In my last several BLOG postings, I have been spewing my venom at George Bush and Pat Robertson. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. But then, hey, who pays attention to me any way. I want to take the time to point out some of the humanity going on out there. My cousin and her husband, both physicians in Western Louisiana, are performing triage on Katrina victims in Baton Rouge. Their daughter, a Vetrinarian student at L.S.U., is doing animal rescue at the New Orleans Zoo. Another cousin, living in Houston, has listed herself on a site in order to provide housing for someone left homeless by the hurricane. On the surface, these efforts may seem miniscule. In my book, they are monumental.

George, You're A Jerk

Nero fiddled as Rome burned. Now images are all over the NET showing George Bush smiling and strumming a guitar at his ranch in Crawford as New Orleans began it's horror. The image will be on our collective minds longer than Lyndon Johnson holding his beagle by it's ears. Radio stations in New Orleans refused to cover George's visit today, his first in the six days since the hurricane hit. George Bush himself, refused to go into the most ravaged areas because of fears of the response his visit would receive. As Americans, we are horrified by the lack of immediate responce by our Government. It's not supposed to happen here. It did happen here.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Your neighbor's kid may be capable to mow your lawn, but he is not qualified to build an addition onto your house. George Bush may be capable to run a baseball team, but he is not qualified to lead our nation. The death toll in New Orleans mounts and people throughout the Gulf Coast area still are going without the barest of neccessities. The President cut his 5 week vacation short by 2 days, but it still took 3 days after the tragedy for him to return to Washington. His handling of the war in Iraq is incompetant, gasoline prices have skyrocketed and our financial surplus has turned into the largest national deficit in our history, all since he became President. But his handling of this disaster has been the most disgraceful. Do something NOW George. Not next week, not next month. Kissing up to the religious right may look good for you in the polls, but your lack of leadership when it truely is needed is a total and complete disgrace. Both you and the people who voted for you should be deeply ashamed. DO SOMETHING.

Wake Up, You Red State People

A sure sign of the times is when you can get more action from a dead, Quaker hooker on valium, than out of the Bush Administration.

Katrina 3

First and foremost, our energies should be directed at the victims of the Katrina disaster. When we get to placing blame on the inactivity of the relief effort I will be putting on my giant foam hand and pointing it's finger directly at our Commander-In-Chief. Unfortunately for the victims, they are predomantly poor and people of color. If they were white, brain dead, commatose women, perhaps the President's actions would be more swift. George Bush is not only a pathetic hypocrite, he is a shameful disgrace of a human being.

Katrina 2

News reports of the devastating effects of hurricane Katrina continue to pour in. Chaos rules on the Gulf Coast and things appear to only get worse. There is completely inadequate communications, little or no food and water and the death toll is only getting higher. People are still stranded, seperated from loved ones. New Orleans looks like a Third World Refugee Camp. I can only look in total disbelief and horror. I only know that something must be done swiftly and immediately. My heart goes out to the victims of this horror.
