Four Thousand.... So?
Author: Raine
Date: 03/24/2008 12:36:02
On Sunday, March 23, 2008 America lost it's 4000th Soldier.
So?
It was a somber and sad milestone that happened ironically, on Easter Sunday.
So?
We tried to not let it happen.
So?
Last week on the Fifth Anniversary of B*sh's War the vice *resident said::
So..
He doesn't care, But I do. 2/3 of Americans do. The mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, partners, friends -- The loved ones of these soldiers do. The maimed, and the ones that will never be the same, care. The soldiers who HAVE come home, care.
So...
We care. Today, take a moment for the fallen, for those that will still fall and for those that we finally get home from B*sh's War.
SO...
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Morning all.
Thanks for all your well-wishes. Aunt Azalea is feeling better. Still, her lungs need much healing. Which reminds me: when we come to the meet-up we won't be attending any bars/restaurants that have smoking in them. Sorry for any of you smokers........ but her lungs just can't handle it.

yes, I figured that most of the 4F bloggers were not smokers, but not sure what the rules are in DC about smoking in public places. For the next 3-6 months she should not be anywhere where they even have "sections" for smoking.

If a caller’s going to comment on something Momma said, it would help if he listens to the show instead of just spouting GOP talking points.

For those that did not read it...
The reaction of some of Mr. Clinton’s allies suggests that might have been a wise decision. “An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton.
“Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic,” Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week.

So Hillary's wearing her crown of thorns, nailed to her cross, while Bill Richardson is hiding in the bushes counting his money and regretting his decision.
So who's playing the parts of Pilate and the priests?

"You regret every casualty, every loss," US vice president Dick Cheney told reporters during a visit to Jerusalem after the 4,000 death toll was passed.
"It may have a psychological effect on the public, but it's a tragedy that we live in a kind of world where that happens."

Is he f*cking kidding. He created the world where that happens. Mother F*cker. Those 4,000 boys and girls would be alive if it weren't for you, Dick! And, I say boys and girls, because on average they were, what? 21? 20? Even old enough to drink a beer before dying.
What a f*ckin' prick!

WTF?!?!?!?!?!
From the Miami Herald earlier this month.
It should be noted that Schultz is a very Vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton.
Call me crazy, but is it too much to ask for members of our own party try to support OUR OWN PARTY?!?!?!?!
But as three Miami Democrats look to unseat three of her South Florida Republican colleagues, Wasserman Schultz is staying on the sidelines. So is Rep. Kendrick Meek, a Miami Democrat and loyal ally to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
That wasn't the case just two years ago when the pair flouted a long-standing Florida delegation agreement to not campaign against colleagues and vigorously backed Ron Klein in his winning bid to oust veteran Republican Rep. Clay Shaw.
This time around, Wasserman Schultz and Meek say their relationships with the Republican incumbents, Reps. Lincoln Diaz-Balart and his brother Mario, and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, leave them little choice but to sit out the three races.
''At the end of the day, we need a member who isn't going to pull any punches, who isn't going to be hesitant,'' Wasserman Schultz said.

Absolutely...going outside is part of the ritual!
My new lady friend doesn't smoke ( although she has copped to an occasional one when 'being social' ) so, I'll be cutting way down anyway!!!
She wanted to come on the trip with me, but is working...she is from DC, so it would have been a quick trip home for her.
JESUS! I need to book a room. OMG...I totally spaced.

Back from the doctor's.
No change in weight or blood sugar levels. I think i've hit a rut. I do have to look for a specialist though.
As they say, the struggle continues.

Sorry. :(
One of your problems, it seems to me, is that you work late at night so you eat late, and, if your place is like many of the offices I've worked in........... has way too much junk and vending foods.
When I worked in the theater, I always had to work late, and there was always plenty of donuts and stale coffee around.
:puke:

That's pretty much it. And when I get a lunch break, there isn't any place in walking distance and the only eating places near by are fast food, pizza, and Chinese. There are a couple of diners, but I don't have enough time for a sit down.
And most of the places are closed by 10 PM so if it's too late then it's grabbing something from 7-Eleven.

You can probably just buzz Raine when you get into town and I'm sure we'll get it to work. Looks like we will have a much bigger group to herd than last time. I will be there Friday night. Good thing I booked when I did I'm sure the room rates have gone up since I booked.

YES!! That was exactly my problem - and I'm still trying to lose the damn weight I gained from that crap! (Okay, I'm not trying too hard - but I do think about it).
Do they have a mirco-wave there? There are some low-sodium, low fat meals out there. Amy's brand is one of my favs - though I don't own a microwave and must heat in the oven.

Yeah, the room rate is fine, but the filling the tank twice in driving there and pocket money. . . two nights just wasn't feasible. But, I plan on getting there around noon, and I'd love to hang for a bit on Sunday as well, so it will be a good time! Worth the trip.

Saturday evening (I hope), we should be heading out to a fine dining establishment. If someone could give us a call at the appropriate time, we can face south, and you all face north, and at the very least we can have a virtual toast?

And with my budget the way it is, it looks like most of my vacations will have to be regional.

Feh, who needs competition? Although I am sure that some people might be drawn in if they won't need two subscriptions for football and baseball. I think they should then rework the left channels so they have Air America full-time on one channel, a second channel for syndicated non-AAR hosts (ie Stephanie Miller, Mike Malloy etc.) and then the Sirius hosts can be on their own channel (Alex Bennett, Lynn Samuels).
