Disagreement or evil?

Watching Penn Jillette [who I love, by the way] talk about the treatment he received because he appeared on Glenn Beck’s show brings back memories of going through the same thing. It’s emotional and I actually cried watching him relive it because it’s a damn tough thing to have someone you love and/or idolize screaming that you’re evil simply because you don’t think precisely the way they do… it shakes you to the very core and makes you question everything.

Love watching him think it through.. I don’t see Penn changing his way of thinking… and I won’t either.

Disclaimer: I don’t watch Beck.

Compromised

Further proof that the Fourth Estate has been taking direction from the obama administration.

“The White House did just e-mail saying that interaction with Jake Tapper was not heated…”

The fact that obama’s goons are focusing on bringing down Fox News gladdens my heart. It means that the folks at that network aren’t paying attention to the instructional calls and emails…

…usually leads to those sticky things attaching themselves to her hair… Usually I can pull them out, but these are so badly entangled that I’m contemplating scissors. But I really don’t want to do that…

They’re still there. I’ve pulled so many off her body she’s sick of the sight of me… I would save the chore for Dad, but we’re working on his being the ‘good guy’.

Freaky

The plant that Bree is close to here? It’s hiding something. Something ugly.

This:
freaky
I had to take a picture to get a really good look and now believe that it’s got to be some sort of cocoon. The thing’s as big as a fist… so I’m thinking I need to destroy it, right?
Just ewwww….

…and the plumeria might be doomed. The flowers are pretty, what there are of them… and the foliage is nice and green… in the summer… but what happens to it in September and October oughta be illegal! It’s not a beautiful oak or elm, shedding its glorious leaves… it’s FUGLY. I don’t know if I can put up with this; I’ve already got enough ugly around here; sure don’t need to be cultivating it on purpose

Funding terrorism through ‘charity’

Yet another hideous thing I did not know and now am sorry I do.

WHY indeed! Obama was raised in a Muslim environment. He gives a shoutout to the Islamic community at every opportunity and at every holiday – something not afforded by him to other faiths… He KNOWS where the charitable funds go… so why?

Satan, they name is appeaser.

Found at Atlas Shrugs.

This, that and the other

One good thing about losing my archives… I can reuse titles with impunity!

It was 54° this morning! Cool weather finally came to south Florida in the form of an arctic front… And my windows wouldn’t open because Mr. C. either painted or caulked over them. Finally got two open, but he’s going to pry the rest loose, just in case one breaks.

*****

I’m shredding everything in the filing cabinet. Why keep financial records, anyway? They only depress me.

*****

Contemplating the oncoming big dog. Only lasted a second, but what a cute expression…
Here comes trouble

*****

Flat Stanley reached his destination one day late, which means UPS and I will tangle this week. If I’d wanted three day shipping the little sucker could have gone Priority USPS for ten bucks. UPS Two Day Air ain’t cheap and I used it for a reason.

*****

I never knew what ‘ticky tacky’ meant until I started watching Weeds on Netflix. Little Boxes is a hell of an earworm.

*****

Proof positive that my husband doesn’t listen to me: His friend called with an invitation to fly up to central Florida this morning and he jumped at the chance.
I said: “…but it’s windy” and in his excitement he agreed. Turns out clouds and wind gusts are fun!
My only argument was a weak one to be sure, but I repeated it as he gleefully prepared to leave. Guess who was still shouting ‘WINDY!’ as his truck sped away to certain death. Or at least mutilation.

Sometimes I can stop myself from thinking like that, but it’s difficult.

I heart Pandora so very, very much. My favorite channels are String Quartet [playing as I write this: Brahms String Quartet in G major, Op. 111: Un Poco Allegretto], Chamber, Baroque and Violin Features.
Blip is great for choosing individual songs, but I don’t want to work that hard. LOL!

*****

Facebook is sucking the life out of me; I think I need an exorcism to get shed of it. By the way, if you want any extra Mafia, I’m your woman. Or crew in Yoville. Or neighbors in Farm Town, Farmville and Lil’ Farm Life. And I could always use help in Castle Age or a new friend for my Superpoke virtual pet.

See what I mean? And that’s just the beginning…!

Anybody got any holy water? I could sprinkle some on my monitor and see if that helps… in the meantime, I’ll be looking for new Hatchling eggs…

Obama to sign U.S. sovereignty over?

If you look at nothing else today, please view this video. It’s that important.

He’s talking about the COP15 – The United Nations Climate Change Conference this December. It’s widely assumed obama will sign the thing.

A bit about Monckton:

Lord Monckton served as a policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher. He has repeatedly challenged Al Gore to a debate to which Gore has refused. Monckton sued to stop Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth” from being shown in British schools due to its inaccuracies. The judge found in-favor of Monckton, ordering 9 serious errors in the film to be corrected. Lord Monckton travels internationally in an attempt to educating the public about the myth of global warming.

Shameful!

From Deebow at Blackfive:

Have You No Shame?

I am feeling very betrayed right now…. and that is not a good place for these oxygen thieves to be….

Senators diverted $2.6 billion in funds in a defense spending bill to pet projects largely at the expense of accounts that pay for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops, including those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to an analysis.

Among the 778 such projects, known as earmarks, packed into the bill: $25 million for a new World War II museum at the University of New Orleans and $20 million to launch an educational institute named after the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat.

Really… Taking money meant for bullets and fuel for soldiers risking their lives in battle so you can build monuments to yourselves…

Have you no shame?

UNBELIEVABLE! Depriving our troops of fuel, ammo and training so the already wealthy estate of that asshole Kennedy can have a freaking monument? We are AT WAR!

Think about it: $2.6 BILLION diverted from the people fighting for our freedom.

It’s time to replace them ALL!
