No this is not a joke..really they are going to 
build a George W. Bush Presidential Library. For 300 million dollars...no, really....they are...and this is the kicker...cities and universaries are fighting over the honor to have said library built there. This is no joke, so stop lauging...'cause it's not funny...Ok, it's a little funny....ok, ok, it's A LOT funny..My mind is boggled...what are they going to put in his library? Books on how to be a Yali cheerleader? We know he READ one book....the one about the goat, that he read to the kids while he sat there in "shock and awe" as his aide whispered into his ear that the towers had been attacked by terrorist....A book on avoiding the last 6 months or so of your military service. Lets see, 'Cocaine, how to use it and not get caught"..Oh, and business books....at least two "How to fail in two or more business's"...and "Lessons Learned from My Failed Business's"(a very, very small book)..and mabye a book that tells you how to go from a failed business owner to owning a very small percentage of a baseball club, parlay that with help from Daddy's bidness friends into being governor to the ultimate scam....President Of The United States...I'm sure it will be full of books telling us how to give all them bidness cronies of his Daddy's very important jobs, whether they are qualified for them or not..who care's I'M PRESIDENT. Just think:"Six years ago he couldn't spell president ...now he are one.."Oh, well....if Forest Gump had any self respect or pride he would tell them...no thanks...no Library...I'm not worthy of a Library....yeah, right...like that will ever happen..As you may or may not know...Baylor University in Waco is in the run for the Library....so that is a good thing...no really...because if they do get the Library? HUHUHUH....I will be able to drive less than 20 miles and walk around with a sign that says "Thank you Goddess ......he's president no more," on one side and on the other side"fuckyou, you forest gump acting asshole." or words to that effect....Although I have a feeling after all the posts I have written about my feelings for ole Forest Gump....the powers that be are under direct orders to "shoot that bitch on sight"..

(associated press)NEIL BUSH'S FIRM TIED TO MOM'S GIFT.(now that's a fucking shocker)BARBARA BUSH'S KATRINA DONATION SPECIFIED USE OF HIS SOFTWARE GOODS.Houston.....Former first lady Barbara Bush gave relif money to a hurricane relief fund on the condition that it be spent to buy educational software from her son Neil Bush's company.An aide to former President George Bush would not disclose the amount earmarked for purchases from Ignite Learning.Since Mrs. Bush's gift, the Ignite Learning program has been given to eight public schools with high numbers of Hurricane katrine evacuees, the Hoston Cronicle reported."Mrs. Bush wanted to do something specifically for education and specifically for the thousands of students flooding into Houston schools." said Jean Becker, the former president's chief of staff.Mrs. Bush chose to promote Ignite because she supports her son and has genuine enthusiasm for his company's program, Ms. Becker said.Two years ago, the Houston school district board wrestled with conflict of interest concerns over the Ignite progam. Neil Bush had helped raise $115,000 for the district's philanthropic fund from donors who insisted the money be spent on his company's software.The district accepted the donation and used them to pay half the costs of new Ignite software, about $10,000 per school.Well......fuckme sideways......does this stink or what????? and no one raises an eye brow or a finger or makes known in any way....hey folks..this shit stinks..and it just keeps on getting better..
LAWMAKERS GIFTS: NO DETAILS NEEDEDState ethics panel says legislators have to give descriptions..not amounts..by Christy Hope (Austin Bureau)Austin..The Texas Ethics Commission decided Friday that public officials who receive cash or other gifts don't have to disclose the value, stunning op-government advocates."This is absurd, dangerous and completely undermines the reform legislation," said Rep. Burnam, D-Fort Worth.The seven commission members, appointed by the governor,(good hair perry)lieutenant governor and Hose speaker, wrestled with disclosure laws that compel public officails to report gifts over $250. The law calls for a description of the gift, and some commissioners said indicating simply "cash"----without an amount---- satisfies the statue."This ruling leaves a big enough loop-hole to drive an armored truck full of money through," said Craig McDonald, director of Texas for Public Justice, which advocates for public disclosure. "All you would have to say is 'a truck.'"So basically what happened is....no a motherfucking...thing...they couldn't get 6 people to vote for a change... after all the talk about making it harder for lobbyist to buy votes......it is just the same...and you wonder why I want to get Kinky Friedman into the Governor's Mansion...Texas politics at its best....fuckme till I do the Texas Two Step..Like I said..it just keeps getting better.FEMA WON'T REOPEN 4 NO-BID KATRINA DEALS; POLITICS CHARGED....(No! You're 
kidding....dirty politics????? fuckity fuck fuck fuck)Firms say contracts merit-based; review finds waste in three...By Hope Yen ..(associated press)Washington..Fema has broken its promise to reopen four multimillion-dollar no-bid contracts for Hurricane Katrina work,including three that federal auditors say wasted significant amounts of money.Officials said they awarded the four contracts last Oct. to speed recovery efforts that might have been slowed by competive bidding. Some critics, however, suggested they were rewards for politically connected firms.Acting FEMA Director R. David Paulison pledged last fall to rebid the contracts, which were awarded to Shaw Group Inc., Bechtel Corp., CH2M Hill Inc. and Fouor Corp. Later, the agency acknowledged the rebidding wouldn't happen until Feb.This week, FEMA said the contracts wouldn't be rebid after all. In fact, they have been extended, in part because of good work performance, said Michael Widomske, spokesman for FEMA."They are continuing the work," Mr. Widomske said, and the agency is now focused on competive bids for disaster relief contracts for the next hurricane season beginning June 1. (in other words, bend over New Orleans, they are going to fuck you up the ass one more time)An additional $1.5 billion in work promised to small businesses also has yet to be awarded.A review by the Government Accountablity Office of 13 major contracts said las week the government had wasted millions of dollars,due mostly to poor planing by FEMA. Among the 13 were three of the four no-bid contracts for temporary housing, worth up to $500 million each, that went to three major firms with extensive government ties.(how many of you have seen the pictures on your tv of the acres of trailor's yet to be delivered to anyone).The fourth housing contractor, the Shaw Group, was not including in the audit."The Shaw Group's lobbyist, Joe Albaugh, is a former FEMA director and friend of President Bush's.(surprise....surprise....) Bechtel CEO Riley Bechtel served on Mr. Bush's Export Council from 2003-2004, and CH2M Hill Inc. and Flour Corp. have done extensive previous work for the government.(which means they are very very experienced in fucking the public)The companies have denied political connections were a factor....ok, there is just a ton of more shit just like this on every page, every newspaper, ever magazine, every fucking tv station except for Fox news....and it is like a sickness...greed is the new cancer....except it doesn't kill the host... the host takes your money, takes it home and worships it..I don't worry about getting the bird flu, getting breast cancer, aids, or even getting hit by a truck on I-fucking 35....the GREED CANCER will kill us all...They will have it all...and we will be on the streets with our hat in our hand and our ass in a sling..If any of you are still here reading my rant...thanks.I imagine there are many of you rolling your eyes and shaking your head, thinking "there the bitch goes again"....all I have to say to you...is......the Greed Cancer has you on its list..and you will be gobbled up along with the rest...unless...you get off your lazy asses and go vote them fucking leaches out of office and bring in some people who really do care...well, we are truly fucked....Ok, I'm done...another day....another rant....

It will be held at the Rodeo grounds in one of the smaller amphi-theaters, plus there will be places to put up booths outdoors...In addition to the Arts and Crafts vendors, the chamber plans to have concessions serving hot dogs, soft drinks and chips..This could build up to be a pretty good deal for the city...trade days will bring people in for the arts and crafts, used shit booths, and then they can also check out our little antique shops, bakeries, resturants, etc...maybe we can fill up some of those empty stores with new business's.There will be a benefit to raise money for hospital bills for a local child..fried chicken dinners and sausage plates will be sold, besides a silent auction and bake sale. It will be held at Tours Hall, which is a t-tiny town on the outskits of West...right before you get to Leroy.

Located in rural Fayette county between Houston and San Antonio, the churches feature authentic 19th century European style churches from Czech, German and other similar cultures in the country-side near Schulenburg. Nesteled in the rolling hills of small farming communities, the churches have some of the most beautifully painted and stenciled ceilings, delicately ornate altars, marbelized columns and lovely stained glass windows. From the outside, the churches look like many American country churches built in the late 1800's and early 1900's, with facades clad in white frame siding or stone, arched windows and lone steeples reaching up into the Texas sky. However when you enter the churches one finds not a simple wooden interior but elaborate faux-finished interiors painted in bright colors, gold leaf and finely fitted woodwork, all the work of intinerant painters. Cost for the trip is $69,which includes transportation, continental breakfast, tour fees, graatuities for driver and guide and snacks on the return trip. Wow.............is that cool or what?

heeehee..so I go to the store next am and say..oh kay...spill..you know you want to ...so basically they were all up at Coyote Bob's(ran by the two broke back cowboys) and were drunk...went to resturant and were having goofy drunk fun time..and David left and she said if he had come by her house(she tried to call him, but so drunk coundn't dial the phone..and when she did get thru she kept saying..:"fuck you".....)she would have fucked his brains out...I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes and hanging on to her office door...I said..does he know what you wanted...and she said no she didn't think so....so I have decided this calls for ole Jackiesue to do what she does best.....meddle..so tonight before he gets in touch with 'old hide' to go out..I am going to call him and tell him what the dealie is and for him to go throw Patsy a mercy fuck...THAT'S what friends are for....The only thing I don't understand is why a person would spend $20-$30 to get good and drunk.then go and spend $5 on an egg special to kill it........I never did get that....I would go with my friends and sit there nursing whiskey in my tea cup while they ate eggs and pancakes or steak and eggs...they would say.."Jackie, don't you want to eat?" and I would say:"Fuck no.....I paid good money for this drunk and I am taking in home with me and put it to bed."...buncha wussies..so that is all the news there is...from lil ole West, Texas..........
Hooooooboy....Jackiesue made out like a second story man...Found a book for sale at 
library for $2...Chief Justice a biogrphy of Earl Warren by Ed Cray......coooool.....At the Used Shit Store I found a paper back version of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee...Will reread it and give it to Jenny. Also found a ?????? quality paper book ..not sure why I got it...only a quarter ..anyhow..it is Gehenna by Paul Thigpen...it is a continuation of Dante's inferno...a guy named Thomas Travis ends up falling headlong into a tortured realm of fire and ice, in an abandoned building...the place is Gehenna. I guess for .25 it is worth a read..I also found a 2006 I love Lucy Calendar for $1....have no need for it, but figure the pictures might be fun to put in frames..or maybe one of you in blogville is a lucy fan and would want it...Picked up a pair of new canvas shoes for $2, and 4 of the prettiest blue glasses..but they look like glass mugs..the color blue is so pretty..thought I would use them as flower pots for tulips and put them on the porch..they were .25 each..also got some pillow cases...25 each...put them on old pilllows for Rocky to sleep on when he naps on the porch.....I stick them in old boxes and baskets and he lolls around in them like a pasha. (LSU is playing DUKE).Now..the library books...(by the way..ole Henrietta managed to get her little dig to me when I brought back Cold Skin. I was telling her how weird it was....not a bad weird, but a good weird...and she said.."Well, guess who checked it for the library..". I said, "I know, I did...and I'm glad, it's a great book..it's just weird.."...she smirked..and said"I just didn't want you to think I bought a 'weird book' for the library....".......(the name I called her in my head is a name I got from a great joke 1,000 years ago...in my head I called her a crunt.)ask me about the joke sometime...huhu....The books..the books..1)....the Pale Horseman by Bernard Cornwell....about King Alfred the Great.(late 9th century)2)The Witness by Dee Henderson....ahhhhhhhh fuck!! I just read the back and it is one of those Christian mystery book..where every thing works out thanks to God...well, fuck..I'm sure the Goddess will have something to say about that..3)Gone by Lisa Gardner..a mystery....I really like Lisa Gardner...fast easy reads4)Lost by Michael Robotham..another mystery....I love mysteries5)The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury..one of those books that has been spawned by Dan Brown's the Da Vinci Code.....(man, is he getting his ass and reputation dragged through the British courts....)6) Wild Animus by Rich Shapero....I'm not sure what this one is about....but liked the look of the cover...does that make sense.???
7)and because I listen to my friends...Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon is A Harsh Mistress...and said friend will be glad to know..that Mrs. Henrietta didn't just get this from another library...she actually bought it for our library..and that really makes me feel good..Did you know that they named a cracter on the moon for Robert A. Heinlein? Its diameter is approximately 83 kilometers or 52 miles. It is officially named the Heinlein Crater. I would like to have a star named after me...or a crater on the moon...that would be nice...or a back country road lined with blue bonnets...the Jackiesue Blue Bonnet Lane.....which would cross paths with the Dr.Pepper Road and Rocky Road Blue Bell Path. It would dead end into The Road To Nowhere..ok, going to read my West Newspaper...via con goddess...
Remember the guy in Afghanistand that was going to be killed because he switched from Muslim to Christianity? Good news....they probably won't behead him because they have decided ...................he's nuts..................So the Kabul government is seeking to advert an international confrontation without giving ground on Islamic law. The best way to do that is to decide that the guy is mentally unstable and unfit to stand trial...
The religious views and faiths of the people of these Islamic countries is not going to go away just because the Americans say so...We can't even straighten out the problems with our own relgious groups ...how are we going to fix it for a bunch of people that have been struggling with these problems for thousands of years....To hear ole forest tell it...it's just a matter of years and everything will be peachy keen and hunky dory....yeah......right...but not in is presidency....the fucker actually said it will all be ok and work out(the war), but it won't happen during his presidency.....gee, think we can do something to assure that....? Like maybe, get him impeached? Some lovely good news is that we now have a goup of nominees running for different offices in congress and they have dubbed themselves the Fighting Democrats. They are soldiers that have fought in Iraq and Afghanistand. Of the 10 veterans of the current candidates for Congress, all but one of them are Democrats. The Fighting Democrats, contend their battlefield experience will allow them to critize the war without being written off as naive and weak on defense...Ms. Duckworth narrowly won the Democratic nomination for Congress in a primary race Tuesday for the House seat held by Republican Rep. Henry Hyde, who is retiring after 32 years..Tammy Duckworth is a former Army helicopter pilot who lost both legs in a gernade attack in Iraq. In November, Ms. Duckworth will face Sen. Peter Roskam, who drew support from VP Dick Cheney, who in a fund raiser brought in $200,000. This is in Illinois..so all you people in Illinois...get out and vote for Ms. Dulock...get them Republicans out of office.....
Im on a downer.....Larry Allen, the last remaining player of the Troy, Emmit, Irving Super Bowl era...is gone...Let go...The Cowboys didn't want to pay him the $1million he was due to get for this year...Gee, you think paying the $25 to Terrell'theasshole' Owens had something to do with it???? fuckers..For all you bloggers who are suffering from depression..abc world news had an interesting spot on medication for people with depression. Can check it out on wnt.abcnews.comon the right is a place to click on to see the video ...Ok, on my latest reading spree.....I read a book that is just the weirdest fucking book...I am not sure if it is a good weird or a weird weird....just blew me away...It is COLD SKIN, by Albert Sanchez Pinol.......it is translated from Spanish to English....I will give you an idea of what it is about...It starts with a guy on ship going to some tiny island on the edge of the Antartic Circle after WWI. He will be relieving a man who has been there for a year and he will be there for a year...he will be assuming the post of weather official....that is all I will say except he finds a deserted cabin, a lighthouse, and a mysterious castaway....then darkness..................hooooboy....it is only182 pages long, but it is the weirdest 182 pages of reading I have ever ever read......even now that I have finished reading it...I don't know what to make of it...trust me on this one......it'as a yafta...you have to read it......It is bill paying day......have to run errands, go to the library, pay bills, check snail mail, get some packages ready to mail out..get some stamps, get west news and get ready to go to laundry....ickypoo... see ya'll later.......
"THE TRUTH IS INCONTROVERTIBLE. MALICE MAY ATTACK IT, IGNORANCE MAY DERIDE IT, BUT IN THE END, THERE IT IS."....WINSTON CHURCHILL...don't you wonder what great leaders like Churchill and others would have thought of Forest Gump's WIDE WORLD OF FUCKUPS...These are little clips of my favorite part of the paper...they are t-tiny small little articles in the DAMN NEWS, and I have to hunt them down but they are worth it and are the jewels of the paper..here 'tis.."IF THIS IS NOT CIVIL WAR, THEN GOD KNOWS WHAT CIVIL WAR IS."..AYAD ALLAWL, IRAQ'S FORMER INTERIM PRIME MINISTER.....(WONDER WHY HE DIDN'T SAY THEN ALLAH KNOWS WHAT CIVIL WAR IS????????)...this was followed by a statement from Forest Gump saying he disagreed, yadda yadda yadda....this statement was followed by Jackiesue's statement of "you lying fucker.""TEHRAN HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR AT LEAST SOME OF THE INCREASING LETHALITY OF ANTI-COALITION ATTACKS BY PROVIDING SHIA MILITIA WITH THE CAPABILITY TO BUILD IMPROVISED ESPLOSIVE DEVICES IN IRAQ."...President George W. Bush, in a speech to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (congessional Quartely transcript, March 13.)"I DO NOT, SIR."...Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace, asked by a reporter whether he had evidence to back up the president's claim....(Reuters, March 14)This was followed up by a statement given by Jackiesue where she says"of course not assholes..cause he is a fucking liar and you can't believe any fucking thing he says...cause he lies...he fucking lies...."at this point Jackiesue was forced to take her blood pressure meds as her face was as red as a baboon's ass....
BUSH CALLS FOR FEDERAL REGULATION OF PLANT SECURITY....(this will make your blood boil(it did mine) and your head throb to the point of explosion..(it did mine....)WASHINGTON..THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION CALLED TUESDAY FOR FEDERAL REGULATION OF SECURITY AT CHEMICAL PLANTS BUT WOULD LARGELY LET THE INDUSTRY DECIDE HOW STIFF PROTECTION SHOULD BE AND LEAVE INSPECTIONS TO PRIVATE AUDITORS. CRITICS QUICKLY LABELED THE PROPOSAL OUTLINED BY HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY MICHAEL CHERTOFF AS TOOTHLESS...Excuse the fuck out of me....toothless....Rocky has no fang teeth and he's not THAT toothless....That's like me saying......"Im giving up Blue Bell Ice Cream" and then giving me the keys to the fucking Blue Bell Ice Cream Plant....Then telling me I get to decide how I should be punished and how much the fine should be....."Oh, let me think for a second.......you put me in charge......I ate 109 gallons of Rocky Road.....so in punishment ....lets see....hmmmmmmmmm...I fine me 1 gallon of Banana Split every week, for a year...or until I'm so fat I can't lift my head from inside the gallon of ice cream...THAT'S TOOTHLESS....you simple minded slugs of humanity...fuckity fuck fuck....FUCK....

The trial is believed to be a first of its kind and highlights a struggle between religious conservatives and reformists over what shape Islam should take here four years after the ouster of the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban regime..Mr. Rahman is in dention and can't be interviewed....but if found guilty.........the newly elected government.....will kill him.....How do you think he feels about the democracy that you brought to his country now...Forest aka Flaming Asshole Gump...?????I have to go now...I know if I keep dwelling on this I may go balistic and Goddess only knows what I am capable of doing......like kick someones stupid ass...? rip off their heads and shit down their necks?BIP THEM INTO THE 22ND CENTURY???????? oh man....I need a Dublin Dr. Perpperand a bowl of Blue Bell...any flavor.....
