Am watching

a program on TV, about the 'Boomer Generation', and just realized what an effect it had on me and my generation. Our heroes, JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King, who stood up for what we believed, were all shot and killed. If you weren't there, you can't understand what that meant. It was 'us verses them'. Smoke pot, go to jail, for 20 years. YES, that's how it was. Viet Nam, fight their war, or go to jail. Thank God, it has 'kind of' changed. We have Bush, and his war, not NEARLY as bad, but, the same kinda crap. Please, stand up for what is right. The older you get, the more important it becomes. There is RIGHT and WRONG. Killing, for economic reasons, is WRONG. Hopefully we have come to understand this simple fact. Some people have not. Please, let us separate ourselves from 'them' and their sins. Stand up for what is RIGHT. Sorry for preaching, but some things need to be said....

I recorded it and Don and I watched it yesterday. My whole childhood the Vietnam War (never declared a war)was going on. Remember POW's, MIA's. I still have a bracelet of a name of a soldier who was MIA. Even though I didn't ever meet him or know if he was found he touched my heart!
No more torture! No more War!

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
