Kittens

This is the last post I will make and I want it to be joyful. About three months ago Mags rescued two feral kittens from the property she works at. We named them Maggie and Chrisy. they are both little healthy females, and while countless experts have told us that they can't be domesticated, somehow Maggie found a way. She is an incredible woman. As soft as she is hard.

Maggie grew up in the toughest Irish neighborhood in Philly, Kensington, and quickly earned a reputation as someone to respect. The rumor there is that she taught Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins how to throw the Philly left hook.

Once, when we were playing around, slap-boxing, I accidently caught her with a good one. While I was shocked, she ducked and drove her little left fist into my floating ribs, rapidly, twice, breaking two of them. She didn't realize what she had done, thinking I was faking as I slumped, holding my side in excrutiating pain, so she hit me three more times in rapid succession. Now that's a girl I can love!

Once, when we were in a Puerto Rican bar in Camden, NJ, a major fight broke out. We were there with a friend and she refused to leave. While the entire place was embroiled in a fist flying, bottle-throwing melee, I hustled her out the back door as weapons were being drawn. Drawing my own I headed back in to cover my friend, only to see the Magster flying back in thru the front door, blasting away with her own little pistola! LOL! If ever a chick had balls, she does.

But her other side is as soft as this one is hard. And that is what enabled her, in spite of all odds, to care for these two little lost souls. To shower them with the same love she gives to me. When my daughters asked her what she was doing with a piece of shit like me, she told them she loved me, and she never deserted those she loved. Kinda sounds like a Marine to me.

And so that is where I am going. To my Mags, to our kittens, to our Cappyboo, our 13 year old wonderful one-eyed dog, to Rachel and Pee, our older kitties, to the love that is true and won't desert me.

And to my business. It is high time I stopped waiting for my career to come to me. I must seek it out. There's a lot of schekels to be had in the Movie biz, as well as rewards uncountable in dollars and cents. I have sacrificed my entire life to get where I am and now I have to put the pedal to the metal and let it go.

I still have my "real" family who love me and I am responsible for them and their well-being.

Peace, Love and best wishes to all.

Rush Limbaugh...

...wouldn't make a pimple on a real soldiers ass!

In fact, that's the excuse this piece of shit chickenhawk used to avoid military service when it was his turn to serve!


Like most prominent Republi-cons, the only thing Rush ever served is his own best interest.

For all the hoopla about MoveOn's ad concerning General Betryaus, not one word was ever spoken against the disgusting attacks by Republi-cons against Max Cleland, Jack Murtha, John Kerry, or even one of their own, John McCain! Even though many Retired Generals and Admirals have spoken out against this incredibly incompetent Administration, those who drink the Right wing Kool-Aid continue their disgusting hate mongering spin. Like the loud, obnoxious schoolyard bullies of our youth, they strut and blather on about things they know nothing about, like patriotism and sacrifice, until someone stands up to them, upon which, they tuck their tails between their legs and run away with the piss from their frightened bladders filling their shoes.

And now, the biggest loudmouth of them all, the most bellicose bully on the always Wrong Right, (no longer content to insult prominent Democratic Veterans), the Allmighty Righty, Rush "The Oxycontin Hillbilly" Limbaugh, feels it is okay to disparage the honorable service of all Veterans who disagree with George "A'hm a rootin' tootin Connecticut Cowboy" Bush and the Neo-con plan for global domination!

But really folks, this is nothing new. This is how Republi-cons showed their respect for those awarded the Purple Heart at their Con-vention in New York City:


Looks like they're having a ball, doesn't it? And why not? They never served and neither will their children! It's so easy to be a tough guy when someone-else is doing your fighting for you!

Compare that with this:




If the above comparison makes you want to puke, as it does me, go to VoteVets.org and help us bring accountability back into politics!

I, for one, am tired of their stupid bullshit name-calling. I am tired of watching our most patriotic Americans dragged through the mud by the likes of Limbaugh. I will no longer stand by and idly allow them to disgrace America's War Heroes, who, more than anyone-else, have earned the right to express their just opinions.

If you agree with me - help us. Let's knock the wind out of the bully's sails like the flatus that oozes from his mouth. Let's call on Congress to adopt a resolution condemning the "Hillbilly Heroin Addict". Let's kick Rush (stupid fuckin name - who the hell names their kid "Rush"?) to the curb! If Congress won't do it, maybe his advertisers will! It's time to bloody the bully's nose and send him home crying to his mama.

If not, have another glass of Kool Aid! And while yer at it, eat a pretzel or two, maybe we'll all get lucky and you'll choke!

This is what Rush, the Republi-con lapdog actually said...and what we think of him...

Moneypenny, what gives?

Lois Maxwell

Bond: Moneypenny. What gives?

Moneypenny: Me – given an ounce of encouragement. You never take me to dinner looking like this, James. You never take me to dinner, period.

Bond: I would, you know, only M would have me court-martialled for 'illegal use of government property'.

Moneypenny: Flattery will get you nowhere. But don't stop trying.

At 80 years of age, Lois Maxwell, best known as Miss Moneypenny, has given us all her best.

Good night, Sweetheart.

I always loved you.

James was a fool.

MoveOn Fights Back!

Please go to MoveOn.org and help get this ad on the air. Now more than ever, it is important to get the facts to the American people. Now more than ever, we must hold our Elected Representatives accountable for their actions, or lack thereof. At the very least, become a member and sign the statement.

It's our country - let's take it back!

The Moderate Man

Found this at Brother Mod's place.

Moderate is not only the Founder of the American Patriot Institute, in my opinion, he is one of the smartest members, (well, he's a lot smarter than me, anyway.) Lately he has had a series of posts dealing with our economy and the beating the "middle class" is taking. He also has strong opinions on Gen. Betray-us, the war, Bush and others.

If you've never been there, or haven't stopped by in a while, pay him a visit. You won't be disappointed. As an example, I offer this:

Sounds True To Me...

Semper Fidelis, Brother!

Now, please, who are the liars? Move-on? Or the Bush Administration?

Moveon and Strike Back

Got this in my e-mail today and I wanted to pass it on. I realize that this will be the third time this week that I am asking you to support Moveon, but I firmly believe that this organization can make a real difference - the proof of this is the fact that now the Republi-cons are trying to shut us up. While they can smear real war heroes like Kerry, Cleland, Murtha and McCain, they are shocked and disgusted when someone points out the truth and supports it with facts. I'm not saying Petraeus isn't a real war hero, but I am saying that at this point, he is nothing more than a shill for George Bush.

So, I ask you to read the letter below and help if you can. So many times we say, "What can I do? I'm only one person?" Join Moveon.org. Even if you can't offer any financial support at this time, go to the website and join. There are 3.2 million of us speaking with one voice against the Bush madness, join with us and make your voice heard.

Thank you,

d.

Dear deuddersun,

The U.S. Senate just told you to sit down and be quiet when they passed a Republican amendment condemning MoveOn.¹

Every day, our brave men and women are dying in a bloody civil war this Senate has done nothing to stop. Yesterday, they couldn't even pass a bill to give soldiers adequate leave with their families before redeploying.² But they're spending time cracking down on a newspaper ad?

So, we're making clear where America stands. We're releasing a statement from MoveOn members—and anyone else who feels the same way—saying, "We will not be quiet, we will fight back. We will keep speaking out until Congress forces an exit plan for this awful war."

Clicking here will add your name:

http://pol.moveon.org/fightback/o.pl?id=11268-8552455-wB8jMj&t=3

Maybe you liked our General Petraeus ad.³ Maybe you thought the language went too far. But make no mistake: this is much bigger than one ad.

It's part of a larger campaign by Fox, the right-wing echo chamber, and Republicans like John McCain (who said we should be "thrown out of the country").⁴

They're doing it because they're hurting: Polls show last week's Bush Administration PR blitz increased the number of Americans favoring withdrawal⁵ and vulnerable Republicans are sinking lower and lower in the polls (or announcing their retirement).

And it has one purpose: to intimidate all of us. To send a message that anyone who speaks unpleasant truths about this war will pay. To make everyone—especially politicians—think twice before they accuse the administration of lying.

If it looks like we're on the run, people will think twice before they speak out. Will you send a message today to Dick Cheney, Fox, Bill O'Reilly, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Karl Rove—and the Democrats without the guts to vote against this—that it's not working?

We've changed our home page to just run the names of people who sign on. We'll report the totals to the media all day. And if we can find an electronic billboard in Washington, D.C., we'll run the names there, too.

And after you add your name, you can go one step further. We've put together a fair but hard-hitting ad that highlights how, yesterday, Republicans blocked a bill to give our troops adequate family leave before going back to Iraq. If we can raise enough money, we'll air this ad across the country and take the fight back to the real issues—this terrible war and its impact on our troops and the Iraqi people.

Clicking here will add your name to our statement:

http://pol.moveon.org/fightback/o.pl?id=11268-8552455-wB8jMj&t=4

This morning, the Senate didn't pass an exit strategy for Iraq. They didn't pass a bill to cover millions of uninsured Americans or combat the climate crisis. Nope—they condemned 3.4 million Americans for speaking out against the war.

Let them know them it's not going to work.

Thank you for all you do, every day, to get the truth out.

Absurdly, it claims that MoveOn "impugns the honor and integrity of ... all the members of the United States Armed Force"—despite the fact that MoveOn includes hundreds of thousands of veterans and military family members, who've led our campaign to bring our troops home.
