I stretched it out,

as long as I could, but finally finished '11/22/63', Stephen King's new book. Was amazed and entertained as I was returned to the world when I was in Junior High School. Won't get into specifics, but as I would read the book, I would go to Google to research and verify some of the historic events that were written. I can say, as a result of the book, and my respect for Stephen King's scrupulous research, my opinion about Lee Harvey Oswald being the lone assassin has changed. I used to be over 90% sure that he was part of a conspiracy, and there were other gunmen, and a nefarious plot involved. However, after reading the book, and spending many hours on-line, I have become much more convinced that he was just a nasty little man, who happened to be in the right place to get off 3 shots and change history. Hey, I'm allowed to reconsider facts, and learn new ones, as well as UNlearn some 'facts' from the movie 'JFK'. Like many parts of my life, my opinions are continually evolving as I learn more. Nothing wrong with that.

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...

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...
