  • Open Letter to the Politicians of the US

    It needs to be said and I’m not quite sure why you haven’t figured it out yet yourself. We are a vain country, the most read or listened to news story’s are about Hollywood stars not the men and women dying everyday in Iraq. We spend billions of dollars each year on beauty products of all kinds for all kinds of people. Bulimia and Anorexia run rampant in our nation, skyrocketing above the rates in other nations. A few pounds can make or break a career for some here. That all being said…

    Do we really need a politician to run for President of the US who looks more like a nursing home patient than a politician? Seriously Mr Lieberman, its time to give up on this pipe dream. If its truly necessary, we can get you an intern that will do secret things to you… but the Presidency isn’t going to happen. We care too much about how things look here for you to make it to the Oval Office. And Ralph Nader that goes for you too, while you may not look like a Nursing Home victim… Your looks leave a lot to be desired. We wont elect you… consider plastic surgery, please.

    Think about this folks, the future of our nation truly lies in how good a man looks. Hell if we put women into the mix, lets just keep the mud out of it ok?

  • The View of Star

    Why is the story of Star Jones leaving the View, not about the fact that she looks like an alien now? Seriously her big eyes, freakishly slim body and big head all just creep people out. This isn’t about Rosy O’Donnel or any of the other nonsense…

    Star, you’re scaring the children! Most of us adults too. So stop trying to create a bandwagon and face the truth, your one scary looking woman.

    On a brighter side, you’re still not as scary as Condi Rice.

  • Choosing Battles

    Our President could be spending his time, energy and influence on getting our troops home safely from a war that he started erroneously. Instead, he and the GOP have decided the most important thing for them to focus on is discrimination and ways to encourage hate across the country.

    How can same sex marriage be primary on an agenda when brave men and women of our country are losing their lives EVERY DAY. How is the private lives of people who love one another more important that saving lives of an American soldier?

    Do our soldiers mean that little to you Mr. President? Are they just one more sacrifice in your vast agenda? Do you care so little for freedom, love and life that you have to focus on ways to ignite this blaze of hate in our country?

    Figure out what’s important here… Sure this got you elected, but don’t you think the lives of American’s in danger every day, because of your decisions and lies, should be first on your list?

  • Unofficial National Plan

    President Bush’s plan for securing our nations borders is awe inspiring, and so brilliant it should be applied to all of our nations problems.

    Senior Citizens not signing up for an appropriate Medicare plan? Send in the National Guard.

    Brittney Spears’s child safety seat not the most popular one? Send armed personnel to show her right from wrong.

    The Da Vinci Code a violation of what’s right? Send in our men and women to block the movie from being seen.

    Lawsuits being filed due to the NSA tapping our phone lines? Send in Dick Cheney with his shotgun.

    If it’s not being done to our liking, lets send in the troops and make it all better. This is the new strategy for our great nation.

  • Recovery…

    I’m getting the impression from the news media that New Orleans is ok, as long as people can get drunk and rowdy! Hell, as long as we have alcohol and women flashing their tits in public… the American dream is still alive and well.

  • Curious George

    “People don’t need to worry about security.” George W. Bush

    Ah, but we do Monkey Boy! You and your people have been telling us to worry about security for 6 odd years… You can’t have it both ways! We can’t rely on Dick Cheney for security, he only shoots American’s.

    Attempts by you and Brokeback Cheney to get your terrorist/oil rich friends access to our ports will fail… I hope.

    Yes Mr. President, we have to worry about security, you and Dick are busy shooting old men.

  • Ah Love!

    SUCKS

    Sure, it’s Valentines day and I could write about how wonderful it is that couples like Donna & Chris, Cristy and Peter, Mark & Robert, Michelle & Neil, Pat & Brenda, Suzanne and Randy, Zelda and Harlan all have their true loves at their side… YUCK! Screw you all!

    Those of us single, lonely trying to stay warm with only the nearness of a cat or blow up doll as the case may be… WE are the ones that need something today… would a box of chocolates be out of the question for us loveless? Us forgotten? Us terminally single?

    So take your flowers, your candies, and romantic dinners… food poisoning upon all of you, wretched, love struck fools!

    Ah Love!

    By the way, Happy Birthday Zelda!

  • Father Winter

    The winds howled his name
    Against the window panes
    yet I failed to heed their siren
    Skin shivered as his icy fingers
    Grasped for my raspy throat
    By the time I noticed he had arrived it was to late
    Life in the thousands had met their fate
    His tracks lay bare for all to see
    Father Winter had come again
    Met by my own misery

  • The Spirit of Christmas II

    Have they all been bad? No. Has it changed since you have gotten sober? a little

    My second year of sobriety, and Christmas was fast approaching, I actually had a job and money which were both rare at the time. I actually wanted to buy gifts for my two best friends, but it was very hard. They both had really good jobs and I could not afford to buy them anything that would compare to what they would buy me. I found myself in tears (making it a true holiday) in a department stores jewelry department, just trying to figure out what to do. They each got a pendant with three leaves, a leaf to represent each one of us… kinda lame think? Then on my 3 year AA birthday they gave me a gold watch with 2 leaves and a diamond on the face and said: we are the leaves, you are the true gem!

    So, no not all bad.

    Or, my second year in DC, finally a really good job, lots of money and time to buy gifts for my family in Wisconsin without actually having to go there. My siblings are unemployed, my mother unemployed standard fare for the family. Having a job and money, I told the siblings that I would pay for Mom’s gift from all of us. I bought her a nice heart shaped diamond pendant and a ring to match and shipped them to WI. The siblings teased her and teased her for 3 weeks straight about what the gift would be; toilet paper, dirty socks or any number of silly items. Come the day of X-mas eve they had her do the dishes before she could open her gift, in all of my life the one thing I cannot remember seeing is my mother doing dishes. They kept the torture up and waited for the VERY LAST GIFT, and taking so very many pictures before she could open it up… tears and tears and tears some more (making it a true holiday). Mom loved it, and the ring fit right there on the spot. Course, then the siblings got mad cause I was showing off, and claimed the gift was just from me.

    Happy Phqn Holiday!
