observing

I'm sitting at the vistor's center in the park eating lunch and entertaining myself by watching passing people. Like this one couple. Man he is ever a dead beet! He says nothing! She waits on him. She stands in line and gets the food. She comes back with it and she eats in silence. Man, I bet she cannot wait until that walking corpse dies. No wonder most newly acclaimed liberated widows rejoice and vow never to marry again. It has been observed that men become even bigger babies as they age. Help me! Where's this? Where's that? And then they still have to be in control..only now they dictate more to "the" wife..the humble god giving right of a bible male ruling declared servant only in existence to love, honor and obey the dummer-than-she-is fool. Why women fall for this shit, I'll never know! Oh, guess what? The man sat in complete silent until his old buddy walks up to join them and then he talks up a storm. Man to man! Oh, and the guy thinks he is so funny! Now the woman is ignored even more so...completely ignored. Why are men so "gay"! Is that why the church, and therefore, the government and media push marriage? Because if they didn't..no one would be stupid enough to marry. Young women and men eagerly hurry to marry to fit social norms..to get theirs betfore the pickings are slim. Oh and now the two old bucks are talking about the "army" days. So queer! Well, that's when all the guys got to buddy together and build very strong bonds either in combat or out of combat. Let's face it..the male gender is built for combat and physical contact. It's the testoserone you know! The woman attempts to contribute to the conversation but is talked over. Yeah, lots of "older" men talk over women..it was done in my family at every meal when ever there were males present. It was worse when there were two are more...because then they really ganged up on the "weaker sex". Men are so ignorantly "gay" and try so hard to sound butch and impress each other. Personally, I could do without them.And I understand women can do without mean too. Yes, a woman can impregnate herself by somehow making sperm from bone marrow..but she will only produce female babies...there is a god.Now the woman is choking and the man merely continues to eat...and tells her to take another bit... I guess the clincher. Yeah, get it good and stuck!Another observation. Big ass killer pick up trucks designed to kill people and guzzle up gas. I have observed that this big 1500 whatever skyscaper, excursion length pick up's bumper who take out the driver's window and driver is hit from the side. There is only one person in this condo on wheels..no passengers and no cargo! So what is the purpose? To kill people? To cripple people? I hate the American auto industry. I hate the loud rummbling "male" super round tail pipes...hello! noise and air pollution? The American auto makers are still living in the 60's. I hate it! As a society can we not progress?But you know why the American auto industry wants to hang on to old gas guzzling ideas...to burn more gas. To make more money for their oil buddies, of which you kjnow, they are getting a cut.And so the woman at the next table continues to chock unnoticed by the two old bucks who continue to make google eyes at each other via war conversations. They are so Republican and so "I believe the leaders". Rush ditto heads. They'll believe anything the ignorant government pushes their way. They are so living in the dark ages. So Christian! So naive!And the woman continues to choke without notice. You know what will happen to her don't you? She'll get tired of waiting on him and then one day get herself sick with some disease to force him to even appear remotely interested in her welfare!Oh, the biblical way of life. The male orientiated bibical "authoritarian" way of life. Males appealing to males and putting women in servitude status...or shall I say, keeping women in servitude status. Oh and these two guys know everything. She can only nod her head in agreement.I thank the universe that I am a lesbian. Today I miss the good doctor....

Okay time to move on to set up my easel and paint a park bridge..before it gets too warm and melts my oil pastels.

I love my life! I love my freedom! Thank the universe! I thank the universe for all of my many blessings and safe keepings and brillance

See you can tell..

my love life has picked up. Yes, and she is quite something. Hot!

So, between her, art, yoga, swimming, biking, running, walking, and writing I'm very busy but loving my life.

I'm making progress with my art and trying different mediums; but some days get a little impatient. And one thing I know art and impatience doesn't jive.

Well about three hours ago I set out to run 13.1 miles. The weather is beautiful with perfect humidity and temperature and I didn't want to waste the day. When I got seven or eight miles out I started getting pooped. I'm just a little out of shape, I guess. I ate the Accel Gel protein, carb, potassium package contents but I don't now it made much difference. Yeah, I was aching a little all over from my shoulders, back, hip to the bottoms of my feet.

So, I'm relaxing with a cold drink and a snack right now. I see next week I need to begin working out at the gym, swimming and running more. I have a back to back 64 mile ride to Herman wine country in a month...on bumpy rocky trail. I won't miss that one when it's over... the BBQ there better be delicious and I wonder if they can add additional showers..there's only two and a huge organized ride will be pulling into town..surprise! No surprise to us - we'll be dusty and dirty and have to stand in line to shower. Oh it will be fun! I'll be with my honey! Those ladies will probably leave me sitting in the dust. I know my honey won't she already told me she wouldn't.

Let's see what else is coming up? Oh the biathlon around the second week in September. I'll be ready for that: five miles run and 22 mile bike ride through the worse hills possible.

Wednesday we ate Mexican and saw Harry Potter. She met my friends. She liked being with family...she's around a lot of straight people all the time :( Poor thing! I divorced them all...only hang around gay people. Gay friends are my family. )

Last night went to visit my friends and watched "Jesus Camp". What a gut wrenching shocking epitome of child abuse that is! Those poor little kids! She is conditioning those little kids to be crusader who promise to end abortion and then, I'm sure, homosexuality. Hey, we're next - after they reverse Roe vs Wade, don't think we're not! It's so warm and fuzzy to feel hated! Hate is so christian like, isn't it. They are self-serving, pyhocrites who segregate and sell hate for a living. Hate and sin! If you weren't a sinner, you wouldn't need the church. So, therefore, they create conditions and rules and create sinners...so they can fix them. See, I said - self-serving! I don't think anything will stop them. They are evil. They are out to rule the world the way "they" see fit...and declare the rest of us sinners and crush us out. Trust me, I'm serious!

It's their way or the highway. Ted Haggard meets with the White House every Monday....hey and I guess his gay prostitute lover every other Monday. Yeah, the poor religious boy got caught with his pants down a while back.

Yeah, they like to set the rules for everyone else but these figures of self proclaimed authority think think they are above the rules.

Actually, I think Becky Fischer of "Jesus Camp" looked like a big old dyke surrounded by gay fellows helpers set out to brainwash poor innocent little kids. Child abuse caught on camera.

It's amazing to me how some people so believe in what they are doing and are so driven that they are blindsided of the truth. Oh yes, she is out to save the world one child at a time. Her ministry is in Lee Summit, a suburb of Kansas City. She has no idea that Haggard and others like Farewell are in cahoots with Bush for monetary profits and favors (or maybe she does). It's a business people.....nothing more than a money making business....and quite successful, I might add! Yes, those are the Evangelical Christians...they are tainted by Haggard homosexual escapades. Yet, I wonder if Fischer makes as much money has her male peers? See, she is probably subject to that male superiority, double-standard too! You can't trust tetesterone!

Then there are the Catholics, there church leaders are hypocritical also and are paying billions out in sexual abuse with minors settlements. Funny how they too are above the law ...none of those child molesting priests ever made it to jail! Once again, in cahoots with government and so like Bush's friend Libby get off Scott free.

See, I don't believe for a moment that Enron's Ken Lay died of a heart attack.. either "they" bumped him off so he wouldn't implicate other government officials are he caught up with his money in some foreign land or tropical island to escape trial, living the high life.

Oh, life is fascinating, isn't it! All these controlling double standards. And the funniest part is how easily people are roped in to believing this stuff. Well, I guess, if it's the only thing you are allowed to be exposed too...you too would be. Becky Fischer's kids were also home schooled with books her ministry provided. Oh yes, see "Jesus Camp". You can rent the DVD from Netflex and I'm sure Block Buster.

I've fall'en behind, haven't I?

My! I haven't written for a few days have I? I guess I've been busy! Well, I'm deeper into art and spending loads of money trying to find the median that is my niche'. So far, I've come up with water soluble oil pastels. The water soluble type, because I'm messy. They are harder to find. My lease favorite are the uncontrollable shalk like pastels. Very dusty and messy too.

So, far I find that I prefer ink pens, water color pencils and oil pastels for times when I really want to lay it on thick. I have to be careful to pack them in ice if I am planning on leaving them in the car for awhile. I've learned that lesson the hard way and lost one of two oil pastels due to melting.

Oh, I am discovering my talents. I love doing portraits and I know one day soon they will look exactly like the subject I am painting. Patience is key so too much caffeine is out of the questions. But I'm loving what I'm doing.

I have been swmming a little at that when I don't care that my nose stops up, because the chlorine really does a number of my nose.

Last Saturday I did the 30 mile Tour de donuts in a nearby town. I ate two doughnuts at the first stop and two at the second stop. I haven't checked the stats yet but think that I probably didn't do too bad. Last year I came in 6th out of about at least 124 riders.

I saw Harry Potter this evening with my girlfiiend. We just pretty much hit it off. I do love her. It was hard to refrain from displaying public signs of affection. But I was good!

Time to go to sleep now, I am extremely tired. I ran six miles this morning early. So, it's night-night time for me....

Busy day...

It was a very busy day. I wasn't home at all. I had a dentist appointment to fix to minor cavities. He froze the hell out of my face, even my nose.

Then I went to the park and wrote and drew until about noon when I headed to the Artist Guild to sketch with eleven other people. There is a lot to learn there and I love it. Even the good pick up ideas from other artist. They bounce ideas off of one another. It's great fun. I am rubbing elbows with some really cool and talent artist. What fun!

Then at 3:30 I had late lunch/ or early dinner at Bread Co., where I called my lover, and finally got on line and checked and found email from her which truly brightened my day.

I had to hurry to get my tee time at 4:50. As it was my friends were waiting on a cart and I hop a ride with them up the hills to the first tee box. What fun! They are very good friends.

The course was hilly but my game was pretty much right on after the wonderful words from my lover. She is busy this weekend with a very long ride on Saturday and I have one on Saturday...I"ll see her Monday. I have a friend's birthday party to do to this Sunday. It will be fun. I just need to come up with something different to take. Maybe a bean salad or baked beans.. I'll see what the store has to offer.

After golf we went to a local pub for beer and burgers. We were all hungry after climbing all those hills. I love back packing my golf clubs. I love it! I waste no time pulling a cart on the paved trail but cut directly across the fairway to my ball. The universe and I had fun this evening. When I pictured the ball going where I wanted it and then concentrated on my swing..it went where I wanted it to go! It's cool and it works - the secret - that is!

I'm tired now and know I will really sleep sounds. I want to thank god and the universe for my many wonderful and magical moments. I am truly blessed with lots of energy, talents, rhythm, cuteness, beauty and youthfulness. Thanks for keeping my good in good mechanical condition and keeping it safe from damage... and me too! Thanks. The universe is truly a magical place

Time to sleep now..

Frozen Nose

Yes, it's July! I was at the dentist and he was watching TV as he pumped me full of pain killer in my upper gum under my nose. He really pumped me full...more so than any dentist in the past. He kept the needle there for a long time to fill two little cavities. I'd say 15 seconds which seems more like 30. I was out of the dentist office at 9:15 AM, it's now 10:06 and my upper lip and nose and even front teeth now are more frozen. My nose is stopped up.When I asked if his hand was over my nose and remarked I can't breath. He says. "Oh, your nose got frozen too, hey?" Hello! He was watching TV and making some comment about a sports event the whole time he was sticking the needle in my upper gum.Men are just more rough. I need to find a nice, gentle, caring, concerned woman dentist. As far as I am concerned men are mechanics with a mechanic's touch and a wrench in their hands.I stay with this practice because my ex's sister is the hygienist there. I have seen dentist come and go, about four, one a woman. I never had the pleasure though.Anyway, I suppose in about another hour, the feeling of pushing on a cork or wood, will where off. It just seems to me like they should be able to time the freezing better with the service. It only took him fifteen minutes to fix two shallow, little cavities that the hygienist found...no dentist came in to exam me that day. The one was there. She took X-rays, so I know a dentist viewed those.

I see their point however, fast in fast out, and see about 30 patients per day. Probably more, I'm not taking the time to do the math. They over lap them you know, when one is freezing up they are working on another..so probably 100 patients a day..if they are that busy. However, I know many people who hate going to the dentist so therefore don't go. Simple as that! I go faithfully every six months. Even the hygienist parents don't go faithfully. Her brother choose some backwoods dentist who doesn't use state of the art equipment to save a buck I guess. Hey, they have the same choice of insurance as I did..yet they choose not to see their sister as hygienist. I find that rather odd. It's her livelihood and she is good. I drove from another state because she was my girlfriend's sister...and besides she's good. She's been doing it for probably 25 years. We are lucky to have insurance.

You would think that doctors and dentist would get on insurance companies to offer more affordable and payable insurance. Now I'm drooling from the side of my frozen mouth. Oh, that's real cute. The only plus: Can't drink or eat until this wears off!And what ever happened to that spit bowl in the dentist office. The hygienist has one, but the dentist doesn't. The dental assistant puts some prep stuff in my mouth that settled in the back of my mouth. I certain didn't want to shallow it so I spit it across the room onto the already slopped up spit upon wall. No, I'm kidding, of course. I spit the crap into the tiny, thin little bit around my neck.Thank god, I have insurance. I know that I am most fortunate. I have pretty teeth too to show for it. Can you believe that I worked with people who were fortunate enough to have insurance as a benefit and still never went to the dentist. See, I appreciate my health, beauty, safety, and youthfulness. I take care of myself. Hell, I treat my car (and the ones in the past, all four of them since I was 16) as well as myself. I believe if you respect your body and your car or whatever you have it will last you a long time, and do you good back. Hey, it's karma...it's the powers of your inner self connecting with other spirit throughout earth and the universe. We are all energies, connected by thoughts and speech.Gee, if only we truly knew how powerful we were. Just how many people you think really respect their bodies and their over all health? Look around you? Many people allow the "outside" world to lead their lives. We can create our world from within. We are in control and have power over our lives and our environments if we choose.I"m sitting outside at the visitor's center in the park. The little birds hopping and dancing at my feet are putting on a show in return for food. Sorry, I don't have any just right now.The Aces doubles tennis matches are in town and the man four blocks away behind the microphone must be giving everyone earaches. Hell, I'm about to line up for court 4. Evidently their are kid tournaments going on first before the professionals get here. Venice's sister, Uranus ( I can't think of her real name...oops almost had it...gone again. Starts with an "s". Serena?) Actually, I do like Uranus. They are both out-of-this-world star tennis players anyway. God, the power behind their swings scares me through the TV. Excuse me while I wipe my drooling mouth. It's 10:30 AM now.. I figure at least another 45 minutes before I can eat and then I'm off to the artist guild for three hours of fun drawing and golf at 4:50..that's golf time It's never on the quarter hour.

It's 10:41 AM, I'm getting hungry and I'm still frozen..so can't eat. Is this just insane? Oh, I guess he thinks it going to hurt. I think, dentist think, like this one, they can be as rough as they want and you are not going to feel anything...well, not for two or more hours. Hey, but my upper lip is swollen now.

Today July 6, 2007
Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
Relationships are always important to you, Libra, yet now the tension builds if someone gets too pushy for your gentle sensitivity. Unfortunately, you may take the words of your friend or lover more seriously than they were intended, turning a challenging moment into a difficult one that lasts longer than necessary. Remember, your increased attention on a negative feeling will only give it more power.

Oops! Okay! I'm not going to dwell on the negative. She loves me! She loves me! She wants me! She wants me! She already does love and want me!

Thursday, July 05, 2007

I wonder....

what she really thinks of me. Well, here's my problem. I want to do what makes her happy. I want to please and so I agree to do things that I really don't want to do. And times goes on and I go "Oh, yeah I'll go!" And then I even convince myself...and begin to sound like I really want to go...

Then the day before I get an anxiety attack. I don't want to go - I realize. In the beginning driving anywhere over a holiday week end sort of freaked me out; being a passenger even freaked me out more. I needed to be control of the situation I am realizing. Actually from the beginning I felt this way but choose to ignore my feelings because I wanted to "please".

Also the day before I'm thinking that there will be too much time for me standing around in the hot sun where she finishes her events. And that is after getting up and I know that I can sleep decent. Yeah, I know that I am a piece of work..and that I think too much about stuff.

It was to be a weekend where we spent the night together. But, "he" lurks in the shadows of my mind. He is her "he" certainly not mine. She'll never leave him and that's that!

So, I'm cautious and cannot give my heart because she is not available nor wants to be evidently. She is happy with her double roll.

I love her and she makes me feel so fine every time. But, I love my time for myself enjoying my other life, my true self life, without her. She likes it that way. She is glad that I am busy.

I feel satisfied with my decision. I had to say "No!". In my anxiety my life came to a stand still where I just sat and thought and wanted to change but was afraid I would lose her totally if I didn't please. But, deep inside I know that she still loves me.

If she were totally free for me to invest in then I would stand wait and watch and cheer on; but, with this situation being as it is I cannot invest that much where it takes me out of my way and daily routine. I love her though, so it was tough.

Bottom line is my intuition scared me off. Isn't it funny, once in a while planned events like this fill me full of anxiety where I can't breath. But a month ago I planned my own trip and run over rocky trail alone to a little town 70 miles away (missed the turn off, so it was 80 for me). I wasn't afraid to venture out on my own. In fact, it's spiritual for me. I was driven to do it. I knew the universe would help and protect me. As it was, the universe, sent guardian angels for me, just when I needed them most. Life is grand!

Funny, I would sooner trust in the unknown of the universe than ride with someone two hours away on a holiday weekend. I'm funny that way. I guess I was filled with anxiety because it wasn't my plan and I wasn't the master mind behind it. I guess. Or was it "he" lurking in the shadows. No, that's not it otherwise he would bother me other intimate times and he surely doesn't.

It's her choice and she is happy to share that with people. So, I know she is perfectly content so why do I hang around. Because she pleases me. Well, sorry, but I just couldn't bring myself to take this trip.

I'm very sorry that I bailed at the last minute. Was it because I visited my good friend who seems to make short brisk comments seem like a whole lecture. Did she put some sense into my head? Or wasn't I really paying attention and realizing that the plans we plan would indeed one day materialize. I wasn't facing reality....I'm still not because I can't wait to see her again...the touch of her...to be near her..the warmth.

We all need touch and warmth. It cherish more, ours is. Our times together are very special, I believe to both of us. She'll miss me and all me and I hope it's soon. I wish her a good event and to come home safety.

She knows that her situation is a struggle for me and that there will be times like this. We have bigger plans set in reserve, booked even, for the future and for a longer time spent together not just over one night like this one. But, I'll do that trip because it's something that I always wanted to do...I have no problem with that one. In fact I can't wait! I don't know what got into me this time..no matter...if I get another anxiety attack before the long trip I'll deal with it. But, I'm going no matter what.

But this one, just waiting around, watching, waiting, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm feeling care free now to go about my routine activities on my own. I'll be fine! I'll miss her but I'll be fine. I could never cross over the two worlds...not in eight months or more and I guess I still don't want to. Am I the only one with this last minute anxiety problem?

A fabulous 4th

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22) 7 4 07 horoscope:
"You don't like emotional uncertainty, although you don't mind your own ambivalence. You just don't like it when it comes from someone else. You may be feeling a bit miffed now because you cannot get a handle on what is going on. Don't stress about what to do; instead focus on how you feel. Stay connected with your heart, no matter what comes into awareness"

I do feel a little emotional uncertainty lately or is it excitement? She sends me reeling! It's special ..what we have.

The day went fabulously well, with an unexpected surprise visit..for a while this afternoon.

The evening air was filled with sulfur as fireworks displayed bright and high in the darkening clear night sky and viewed so conveniently from my balcony.

I just can't let it go....

I guess the thing that really bothers me about the insurance companies is the fact that they bail on people after they have received the treatment.

Case in point. In Florida, a man has cancer. He gets his treatments. After receiving his treatments and is recovering nicely. He goes to the mail box one day and there is a bill for $50,000. from the insurance company with a letter stating that they did not cover the treatment. The patient has no choice but to pay the bill. The patient is in shock. This is enough to cause a relapse in his condition. He is confused. He has paid his premiums faithfully on time. What the deal? Can insurance companies do this; just suddenly drop you like this?

Where is our attorney general consumer protection plan in action. Why doesn't anyone go after corporations and businesses that cheat people out of coverage like this? Isn't this unlawful? You mean they can just do anything they want to us even refuse to pay after you have had the treatment? Was it pre-approved...I would venture to say yes it was.

The man lost his home. He had to sell it to pay the $50,000 that he thought the insurance company would pay. There is something just terribly immoral about all of this! It's unethical by far!

Have we no protection? I was listening to NPR this evening driving home after playing golf and I was appalled and let a little glad that Michael Moore's stories were checked out and in fact, added to. Well, the way Michael Moore got his information was to set up a web site inviting people to share their American health care horror stories. Within days he had 58,000 entries, with one story worse than the other. For example. A child was refused treatment at one hospital and on the way to another hospital died.

A worker cried as she shared her story in the movie about listening to people's happy voices when they thought that the insurance application would be approved for a certain coverage. She had to turn her emotions off because these people were so hopeful and full of promise for help. The worker knew, they would be refused but was not permitted to go ahead and share that information with the couple. She ended up quiting her job.

Another guy, who wasn't so emotional; in fact, laughed at his job of hunting down reasons to not pay insurance recipients due to reconditions or any tiny loop hole he could fine. He did admit after a time that he too had to quit..he couldn't take it anymore. Maybe it was a little nervous laughter that I heard.

These are all horror stories. People should not have to be treated so inhumane. Where is our government in all of this? Oh, busy interfering with justice and over ruling the judge and jury in the Libby case by reversing Scooter Libby sentence. Yeah, he's a free man now, the way I understand it. Bush blatantly inferred with justice and should be held in contempt of court. Bush is like a brat let lose in a department store...the man is out of control! Seventy-five percent of the America people didn't want Libby pardoned. Bush is just too much! Next he'll be blessing people out of a window. Now that I think of it..what really frosted me is that they spend probably a million bucks of tax payer's money on try him...and then Bush let's him go.

The democrats backlash and find Bush's actions disgraceful but they never do anything about it. My gosh they have had numerous chances.

I'm done ranting and raving. I'm sad and tired...and heading for bed. This stuff wears me out.

More of Moore..

I personally really like Michael Moore and thought the documentary/movie "Sicko" was excellently executed with point well taken...I want to move to Canada.

Why? The moment I saw those "very calm" people I was sold! They have no education or heath care worries. Most do not lock their doors. Their leaders do not lead by fear tactics like the not so good old USA.

July 4th, Independence Day, is approaching. Are you independent? Or are you a slave to out-sourcing, off-shoring, bigotry, gay bashing, racist, terrorist, high insurance and education expenses, keeping up with the Jones syndrome, and false propaganda provided by government induced public media tactics such as "the terrorist are in Iraq".

We are being had....hate to say it, but it's true. They are feeding us a line. Words repeated over and over and over again finally stick and permeate throughout the country into neighborhood and group discussions.

My worse fear even more so than this administration are close minded people. Now that truly frightens me. "Michael Moore! I hate that Michael Moore sick. Fahrenheit 11 was enough for me. That's all lies!" says my republican friend angrily. I think it's another reason why Russ Limbaugh has so many listeners. It's just easier to listen and follow and not think for yourself.

People have thought nothing of the government wasting tax payers money for years. I remember as a kid my uncles joking about the $100. hammer or was it a screwdriver. So what goes on today is nothing new only it has escalated to a grand scale. Now, we go to war to protect oil and allow no-bid contracts to vice president's friends to move companies to Iraq for profit. To cut it short: A war for profit. Bush gives them the green light saying the more you spend, the more you get. So big trucks are burned up instead of having the oil changed ....well, you get the picture. Money is wasted so they get more......hard earned tax payer money.

I believe the money would be better suited for social benefits for the people of the United States. For the past seven years, it seems that Bush has been more concerned with getting democracy to the citizens of Iraq. Actually, I think that is all a song and dance routine; one I'm getting very tired of hearing. Mr. Bush, you are OUR president not Iraq's...take care of your own country's needs like providing decent health care for ALL of your citizens.

The republicans seem to always place themselves far above the average and poor people of this country and ignore them...in fact cheat them even further. Nothing like kicking a group of people when they are already down..there in the gutter. But, he's a nice guy this Mr. Bush. Yes, this administration showed their true colors after Katrina hit New Orleans. Well, even before the hurricane hit...the levee was never properly reinforced to begin with. There was no way it could stand a storm of the magnitude of Katrina and they knew it...yet ignored it..to save money. Save, for what. No, in order to stick more money into their own pockets.

This administration runs this country like Ken Lay ran Enron...unethically. Ethical. Now that is a word you sure do not here in Washington. How about integrity. "Bush has integrity". Oh, don't make me laugh! How about: "Cheney is an honorable man." Is that too funny? Doesn't even sound right! Well, I guess Cheney is an honorable to follow CEO's, cronies and the lobbyist who are paying him outrageous amounts of money.

God, I bet they are having a blast in Washington...they must be laughing their heads off at us fools! "Tell them anything. We are the bosses here! They'll believe whatever we tell them! We speak for the American people" Yeah right! They don't speak for me!

Well on with my day..enough of this venting. I do predict; however, that Jeb Bush will be our next president....as sure as Cheney says he has nothing to do with Halliburtion anymore, since he became vice president. No favoritism there at all. I believe it as sure as I know that the president justifies insurance companies, oil and auto to rip off the American people to save themselves a buck and to put more money into CEO's pockets. So what if a fool thousand people die..they're expendable...

And then we have the Christians...yeah...all in the name of God. I think rather, all in the name of Greed.

How about this new Surgeon General who has his own ministry to correct and cure gay people by pray and lessons - I guess.

If people fall for all this crap....well then it's no wonder we are where we are....we truly have no reason to complain because we turn a deaf ear and blind eye to it. As long as we have gas in the tank and food in the belly and credit cards that are not yet maxed out..Oh too, and as long as we are healthy. We have no clue that we are living on borrowed time...on quick sand and soon the bottom will drop out of this economy. People are already loses their homes when they get sick because after accumulating hospital expenses insurance companies decide to bail out and not approve the procedure. So, patients are stuff with the bill and losing their homes.

We need decent health care in this country, affordable, accountable and honest! Hello! Honest! Another word that doesn't fit anywhere anymore. Ever try to buy a car or a pair of glasses....they are trying to rip you off at every turn.

What kind of a country is this...other countries are laughing at us and calling us fools. We are suckers...being ripped off by our own government. So much for government by the people for the people!!!
