a conversation with my good buddy .

(08:12:54) hedi: sigh
(08:14:02) hedi: in the car saturday nite with veronica, she was bashing bush and blah blah blah, and i was like “I don’t think he was a good president, but I find it kind of funny that everyone who says that we need to be united and acting like one have been criticizing Bush for the past 8 years”
(08:14:15) hedi: she was like “but he was an idiot and everyone hates him”
(08:14:25) hedi: some people just will never get it lol
(08:14:49) paint: nope
(08:15:08) paint: i’m doing a lot of thinking i had people go like well obama is presnow yaddayada .
(08:15:16) paint: and you as bad as the libs foe bashing..
(08:15:18) paint: but i’m like..
(08:15:27) paint: i’m pointing out poor policy and agenda issues .
(08:15:47) paint: the libs at this time in Bush terms were calling for recounts STILL , and claiming a stolen election
(08:16:07) hedi: haha
(08:16:24) paint: i’m not claiming a stolen election,.. even though i still want to see a birth cert and his documents that show his citesenship
(08:16:31) paint: but i’m not making that my primary argument .
(08:17:00) paint: my primary argument is weather his directives are consitutional or the right thing for the country .
(08:17:07) paint: i’ll hold his feet to the fire over that .

which is why i’m honestly making a calander on google cal, to keep track of his executive orders . Bush even occasionally made a good decision. in photography we see it as a numbers game .. but the issues is , sometime it takes 300 crappy pictures to get one good one.. and kind of crappy ones being made right now are steering us towards a cliff .. and i’m ready to get off this speeding bus to socialism .

another friend said to day . and i like the wayu the put it so i’ll share :

people say :

“call your represintatives. “ “Write your congressmen.”
I tried that with all my might during the first “bailout scam” and was astonished to hear that so many other people were doing the very same thing. The amount of calls were reportedly 9 to 1 opposing the bailout across the nation. Those “in charge” responded with “they just don’t understand.” “ We are going to do this anyway.” “It’s for their own good.” I never felt like I was pissing in the wind as much as I did when I wrote and contacted my “representatives.”

i have to agree i did too.

and those of us who are represented by a member of the DNC, all got back, a caned email response , and we know because we compared the letters online . there was no listening or representation even though the people called with 9-1 against the bailout.. ..

i asked her to post the rest of the info. since i know people are wary about direct donations ,
but i trust Rhonda isn’t scamming, and honestly got stuck with a dog once the other rescue fell through.
this happens when a rescue commits asks someone to pull and assist with transport then for what every reason flakes out.

Within the last few months MSRH has acquired several senior Schnauzers, either through senior owners and/or their families surrendering to us or they were surrendered to a kill shelter.

This issue is a very real problem all pets must face when their senior owners have a life changing event happen and there is not a contingency plan in place.

If you are a senior person, please take a moment and ask yourselves “if my health, financial, or living arrangements should change, who would take care of my beloved pet?”

Please make provisions for your 4 legged companion, the one that loves you unconditionally and depends on you. If you don’t plan for their future they may not be so lucky as to have a rescue group such as MSRH save them, but instead might end up in a kill shelter as their last stop on this earth.

bakin brownies, and a day in review .

Pelosi Erases Gingrich’s Long-Standing Fairness Rules
by Connie Hair
01/05/2009


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation. Pelosis proposals are so draconian, and will so polarize the Capitol, that any thought President-elect Obama has of bipartisan cooperation will be rendered impossible before he even takes office.

Pelosis rule changes — which may be voted on today — will reverse the fairness rules that were written around Newt Gingrichs Contract with America.

In reaction, the House Republican leadership is sending a letter today to Pelosi to object to changes to House Rules this week that would bar Republicans from offering alternative bills, amendments to Democrat bills or even the guarantee of open debate accessible by motions to recommit for any piece of legislation during the entire 111th Congress. These procedural abuses, as outlined in the below letter obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, would also include the repeal of six-year limit for committee chairmen and other House Rules reform measures enacted in 1995 as part of the Contract with America.

Palestinians should just disown Hamas

Why is the world political community so distraught over Israel’s airs trikes against Hamas? The six-month-long truce resulted in comparative calm in that area and was broken only when Hamas resumed sending rockets into Israeli territory.

Now that the Israelis have said enough is enough and have decided to defend themselves (again), they are branded as the aggressors rather than the defenders. Hamas is a terrorist organization with only one purpose in mind - the destruction of Israel.

The moderates in Palestine have been engaging the Israelis in peace talks, but Hamas will not permit those talks to go forward. When are the Palestinians going to realize that Hamas is a detriment to their peaceful living, disown them and turn to the central Palestinian government to effect a peace accord?

It is my understanding that Hamas has built schools, hospitals, etc., but its good deeds have been more than offset by hostility toward Israel (and constant bombardment of Israel), which, when Israel retaliates, results in the destruction of what it has built.
