Insanity in D.C.

Cheney, in an interview with Rush Limbaugh, said:

...remember Abu Musab al Zarqawi, a Jordanian terrorist, al Qaeda affiliate; ran a training camp in Afghanistan for al Qaeda, then migrated -- after we went into Afghanistan and shut him down there, he went to Baghdad, took up residence there before we ever launched into Iraq; organized the al Qaeda operations inside Iraq before we even arrived on the scene, and then, of course, led the charge for Iraq until we killed him last June.... This is al Qaeda operating in Iraq. And as I say, they were present before we invaded Iraq.

How many lies does it take before we finally see that shrub and this guy are insane....

There are far less dangerous people held at St. E's because they are a danger to self and others [under D.C. laws.]

I think these two should be committed...they are a danger to the entire world.

One last question I thought this morning - is - if the two "leaders" are so our of touch with reality - who is the more sane person running the government... or is it an administration many mad men and women ?

More pet food recalls

This is obviously more serious than we knew at first...not surprising to me or to you if you've been reading my blogs. The bottom line for many major corporations is greed - not your health - or your pet's health.

Here is a link to the FDA site
which seems to have the most recent of recalls which now includes certain treats.

As my dog loves to get cookies form the FedEx and UPS people as well as the meter readers - I am now posting a sign at my gate to not give him anything... it's safer that way...

I do not know any more than what I post here - but I do know that I take supplements and so do my pets....it helps our immune systems....you can see a video by clicking on the "boost immunity" ad to the right

Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

On April 4th in 1968, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed. Like the JFK and RFK assasinations, I recall exactly where I was and what I was doing; but to be honest - as the years go by I forget the exact dates.

But that's me - why has the media forgotten? Until i read a clip on a blog - I had not remembered the date ...no big headlines - no stories - not much mention in the US press.

How sad...Is it because if we recall MLK, Jr.' s death we also have to recall Vietnam and the civil rights struggles of the 60's?

Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Rest in Peace

shrubs and shrubs

Well shrub #1 is at the microphone and shrub #2 is stalking in from the garden.....but that's not creepy enough - you have to hear what shrub # 1 saying..

1- seems he forgot that Congress did pass legislation to fund our children [the troops]...it's he who wants to veto that legislation

2- seems he also forgot that many of our children are now stuck in Iraq way past their go home dates - well because he wants an escalation

3- he also forgot that many of our children are being sent back sooner than they are supposed to return - AND still without the armor and other protection that is needed

4- he also forgot that the citizens of the USA voted in this current Congress because they also find the situation unacceptable.. but we are not forgetting that this entire mess rests squarely on the shrub's shoulder and he has to someohe get his brain around the fact that the citizens of the USA do not agree with him or his policies...and the DO agree with with what COngress is proposing...

And if this bill is vetoed - it is the shrub who will be failing to fund our children - not Congress and not the SA citizens.

[for those who have not read some of my former posts - I use the term our children as I hate the word troop - troop is a way of distancing yourself from the fact that every military person has a mother and father. They are OUR children over there - even if they are not biologically yours....
