JENNY, JAMIE AND THE LITTLE ASSHOLE

The 4Th of July was a good day...I asked the girls to come over for a BBQ....they came..It was fun and I enjoyed it so much..I had BBQ chicken,potato salad, deviled eggs,Bush's BBQ beans(damn they're good)and garlic bread.(which

I didn't burn).I had bought a bag of chips too, but forgot to put it out..Made ice tea, and had cherry vanilla Dr.Pepper..meant to get regular DP but got the wrong one..but ended up being a good thing as Jamie loves cvdp..good on me..

They were 'starving' and we had a nice dinner..Well, it would have been nice if Little Asshole hadn't tried to climb up in their plates..I bought out the spritzer and they cracked up laughing..all he had to do is see it and he took off running down the hall way..They thought he was so cute..but they found out really fast why he is called Little Asshole.(Jamie used to have a cat named Twat..so bad names for animals runs in the family)It was a steady stream of 'oh, he's so cute..damn, he bit me.'...'how pretty he is grandma...ouch..he scratched the inside of my mouth.'...To make it even better, his beautiful blue eyes have turned a yellow green...so he truly is a green-eyed monster...

I finally got all the pictures into albums and they went through them to pick out ones they wanted copies of..Jenny is putting together a assortment of pictures of Jason's grandpa and my Daddy..who is her great grandpa..I kept trying to get her to take pictures of me and Daddy or Daddy and the boys and me...she said.."NO, I just want your Daddy."..which had me muttering 'bitch' a lot..we were giggling and insulting each other..They were a little surprised at one picture of me where I weighed no more than 85 lbs, I was about 18 years old..you could actually see my hip bones poking through my slacks..hurmph..those days are long gone..I don't know about them..but I had a great day...I know they were full and left laughing..They were going to go watch fireworks.

I got to hear them up close and personal as some nut job in the apts, next to us were shooting off firecrackers all night long...scared the crap out of the cats..well, nothing scares Little Asshole but did send him under the bed a couple of times..

We are still getting rain..we're pushing 40 inches of rain...some places in Texas have had over 44 straight days of rain..some one put a call in to Noah..I keep singing that song by Johnny Cash..."How highs the water Daddy...?...

6 feet high and rising."..All this rain has brought out the mosquito's, and allergies which is pissing me off..between the itching of bites and sneezing..I'm not a happy camper...One good thing is the smog is better..not that we have a lot in West, but Dallas does..so that's a plus..Something that was pretty scary was a article about the rain.A half inch of rain is now 9 inches in terms of impact on a community.

Casualties:12 dead, five missing.

Counties declared federal disaster areas:6

homes destroyed in 6 counties assessed:1,000

Fuckme till I float..

"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discrimination on the basis of race."..Chief Justice John Roberts,in announcing a 5-4 Supreme Court decision rejecting integration plans in the Louisville,Kentucky and Seattle school districts...

Judas fucking priest..

DELAY SOUGHT IN KICKAPOO EFFORT TO EXPAND GAMBLING

Austin,Texas..U.S.John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott asked federal officials Thursday to delay efforts to allow the Kickapoo

Traditional Tribe of Texas to expand casino gambling at its reservation near Eagle Pass.

This is no big deal, unless you're a Kickapoo Indian...I just like saying Kickapoo..

ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT INCREASING, SURVEY SAYS

Paris..Anti-American sentiment is on the rise around the globe, driven by concerns that U.S.

leaders are prone to act unilaterally and have widened the gap between rich and poor nations, a new international survey found.The survey of 45,239 people in 47 countries by the Washington based Pew Research Center found "worldwide support" for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and substantial opposition to U.S. and NATO military operations in Afghanistan..

No shit?...big surprise there...Bush and his bidness buddies have made us hated world wide..I get pissed when they say.."We don't hate the American people..just it's government."...them asshole republicans are the ones that elected Bush..so they are the people..Think I will get a t-shirt that says"Don't hate me..I didn't vote for him."

To tie in with that article is an editorial that I read..This is by Leonard Pitts a columnist for the Miami Herald. paraphrasing here..

"We've been told by conservatives and by mainstream media for years that this is a conservative country, but if you actually look at the facts you find that this is a myth."

Media Matters and the Campaign for Americans
Future, a liberal activist group, have helpfully

assembled said facts in a report released earlier this month,"The Progressive Majority:Why

a Conservative America is a myth."

The report, at http://home.ourfuture.org/, analyzes years of public opinion surveys from suchrespected and nonpartisan organizations as Gallup and the Pew Research Center. On issues after issue, those surveys present a picture at odds with the conservative stereotype.

62% of us oppose overturning Roe v.Wade.

61% of us support using stem cells for research.

60% of us would like to see more government restrictions on guns.

So how the hell did liberal become such a bad word..I think the conservatives are better organized then the liberals..They are out there registering voters and the liberals are at the bar partying or at home in front of the TV..

T-SHIRT DECISION UPHELD

Washington.Putting its recent ruling on student speech into practice, the Supreme Court on Friday rejected a school district's appeal of a ruling that it violated a student's rights by censoring his anti-Bush T-shirt.

A seventh grader from Vermont was suspended for

wearing a shirt that bore images of cocaine and a martini glass..but also had messages called President Bush a lying drunk driver who abused cocaine and marijuana,and the "Chicken-hawk-in-chief" who was engaged in a "world domination tour.

Williamstown Middle School principal Kathleen Morris-Kortz said the images violated the school dress code, which prohibits clothing that promotes the use of drugs or alcohol.

An appeals court said the school had no right to censor any part of the shirt.

On Monday, the court said schools could regulate student expressions if it advocated illegal drug use. Justice Samuel Alito cautioned that schools could not censor political speech.

I just want to know where I can get one of those t-shirts...
