....WHAT'S GOING ON AND MY TAKE ON IT...



This is my pre-rant post on Forest Gump...I am waiting for some assistance from Sooner...so until then...here is what's going on in the news and my take on it...


The zoo in Antwerp, Belgium, has asked visitors to stop making eye contact with its chimps, so the animals can form stronger bonds with their ape families instead..

They should ask people who go around George W not to make eye contact with him either, as it makes him antsy and he can't make a strong bond with the other assholes..

Last Saturday was the 171st anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto which ended with Texas winning its independence from Mexico..

Mexico took 171 years for round two...and looks like they may be winning this war..

"I DIDN'T JUST EXPERIMENT WITH MARIJUANA, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN."
Political consultant James Carville, a Louisiana native, on why he'd never run for governor...

That is one of 37 reasons why I won't run for public office...shooting my 3rd husband is right up there.

VERMONT LEGISLATORS VOTE TO IMPEACH BUSH, CHENEY
Vermont senators voted last Friday to call for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President 'Dick' Cheney, saying their actions have raised "serious questions of constitutionality.:" The nonbinding resolution was approved by 16-9 without debate: all six Republicans in the chamber at teh time and three Democrats voted against it. Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington has kept a similar resolution from reaching the floor in her chamber, saying it would distract Washington from efforts to get the United States out of Iraq, which she says is more important..

fuckity fuck fuck fuck...If we impeach him and his Dick, we can get the soldiers out asap.

Senate(Texas) oks bill to raise smoking age to 19. If House approves it, 19 will be the new standard. A legal age of 18 means that those teenagers can buy cigarettes for other high-school students. The bill would shut off that source of cigarettes for younger high school students.

yeah....right..

Kinky is back in the political saddle...

KINKY:HORSE SLAUGHTER NOT THE 'COWBOY WAY.'
Mr. Friedman made a brief appearance on the steps of the Capitol to speak against legislation that would loosen restrictions on horse slaughtering in Texas.
"It ain't the cowboy way," he said.
Horse meat is not marketed as table fare in the United States, but two slaughter plants in Texas processed hundreds of horses each week until a federal court ruled against them this year.The plants, both foreign-owned are no longer operating.
Horse meat is considered a delicacy in Europe, Japan and other places.
"It ain't helping America, and it ain't helping Texas," Mr. Friedman said.
Nancy Perry, a spokeswoman for the Humane Society of the United States, said the horses now are sent to Mexico and Canada for slaughter...

I read a great article when I was in Sykora Ford getting tags for the truck..about how in the really poor states it is a huge problem..So many people are out of jobs, and they are having problem feeding their families and can't get rid of their horses...they used to be able to sell to dealers who would take them to Texas for slaughter, but now they can't and the horses are starving to death..
I am not for slaughter, but some sort of arrangement has to be made to help people out with their horses..Sort of a catch 22...Maybe Kinky should run a rescue ranch for horses along with his rescue ranch for dogs...

FRENCH AGENTS WARNED OF AIRLINER PLOT, REPORT SAYS
French foreign agents who infiltrated Osama bin Laden's network notified the CIA as early as January 2001 that the group was planning to hijack U.S. airliners, the French newspaper Le Monde said last Monday, purportedly basing its report on 328 pages of classified documents from France's spy agency, CIA spokesman George Little said Monday the story "merely repeats what the U.S. government knew and reported before September 11--that al-Qaeda was interested in airliner plots, especially hijackings."...

Judas fucking priest...did everyone in the entire world but the Bush Administration,know that they were going to hijack planes and fly them into the World Trade Buildings?...What a bunch of bungling assholes..
Quick...don't make eye contact with them...

Horse meat?
Urgh!
Alice Cooper had an amusing story about a time when they were in Norway for a gig and he ordered steak. When he tasted it he spit it out and asked the waiter "exactly what kind of steak is this?"
"Horse," said the waiter.
"Please take it away and bring me something made with all vegetables," said Alice.
He warned his radio show listeners to be very careful exactly what kind of meat you're getting when you order steak in Norway.
