My 80 year old Mom took a fall yesterday, she's lucky it could have been worse.

Coming out of her patio into the dining room feeding the cats who hang out there.
Cat ran underfoot, and she went headfirst to the ground barely missing the dining room table (all oak).
Found herself laying between the table and a hutch.
I was not there, I was home 127 miles away in Orlando.
I asked her how long it took her to get back up and she said "three or four minutes".
So, today my sister and I tell that she's getting "Life-Alert" and her response was "I'm not wearing that shit".
Oh, yes you are.
You don't have a choice.

Now, on to the fucking worthless animals.

Look, I like kitty cats.
And I like doggies, especially big fluffy happy tail-wagging pet me kind of doggies.
But my Mom's pets?
I hate those fuckers.

Two freaking hyper-sensitive, anti-social, whine for food all day, lazy, useless, flea-bitten, can't be held, can't be petted, no purring, useless, sacks of feline crap.
There ain't no "squee" and there ain't no "sezaww" with these two suitable for target practice cats.

Then there is the genetic freak of a misbehaving, untrained, mentally challenged dog.
A freaking "schnoodle" half poodle and half schnauzer, and 100% stupid, barking for no reason, likely to take a dump in the middle of the living room, AT SIX YEARS OLD, stupid fucking dog.

But. she loves them and she thinks they are the best-est little well trained angels in all of pet history.
Me, I just want to take them for a little "ride".
I know that's mean, and it's not common for someone who professes to love animals to feel that way.
But, like people I don't have to love them all.

So, this is something I really don't need right now because if things get worse I'm going to have to change things up to be closer to her. She's not interested in moving or doing anything different.

I'm glad she's OK, but that fucking cat better stay far away from me.
And the dog?
He's so stupid I almost feel sorry for him.
Almost.

Oh, and the dog wears "one-sies" to bed.

Kill me now.
I'll be there on Friday through Monday.
Thank God I have some good weed.

This is what I want to do with MOST Republicans I encounter.

Smack them upside the head!
Just haul off and "POW"! Upside the head.

And then maybe a little "foot up yo ass"!




Classic Chris Rock and pay attention, Wanda Sykes too!

ENOUGH! Enough, ENOUGH!

I have HAD it with all of the TE-BOW threads.

Even the esteemed Patriots fan and "author" Will Pitt had to weigh in.
This is my TEAM you asswipes!
I've bled Orange and Blue for decades since the days of Red Miller and Craig Morton.
Louie Wright and Tombstone Jackson.

I have had enough of this total lack of respect towards my team and my "quarterback".
And I use that term lightly, much like the term "author" previously stated in this post.

Is he unorthodox?
Absolutely.
Could he hit water with a football standing in a boat?
Doubtful.
Is he a lightning rod with his unabashed love for Jesus and his faith?
There is no doubt about that.

But Riddle me this Batman...

Who was happier on Sunday night?
The long time Broncos fan, with the no pass completing, running around like a jailbreak, manic, panic, Oh, my GOD what do I do now, doesn't do shit for three and a half quarters, suddenly position himself and his team for a last minute/overtime, must have, improbable, ain't going to happen play, that results in ANOTHER FUCKING VICTORY for the soon to be AFC WEST champion Denver Broncos and their so called "quarterback"...

OR.

Madinmaryland and his bullshit, can't win in December QB Tony Romeo and the weak ass Cowboys, who are in danger of missing the playoffs AGAIN.

So eat it.

Craig James will take his "God-Given Talents" and apparently run For U.S. Senate

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the onetime sports hero - a college standout at SMU and a pro running back with the New England Patriots - will officially announce his candidacy by Thursday.
As the founder of Texans for a Better America, James has been subtly positioning himself for the political limelight.
The promotional video for James' organization plays out as an elongated campaign advertisement, hitting all of the political sweet spots on his biography and ideological stances."
Craig James is ready to run in Texas Republican primary, report says [ESPN]

If elected James will be the first Texas politician to hold office after having a son come out of the closet.
Literally.

Ronald Reagan was an evil man and we should never forget that.

Reagan's reputation 30 years after the El Mozote massacre

When you hear some Republican waxing lyrical about Reagan the fearless champion of democracy, tell them about the El Mozote massacre which took place 30 years ago today. 733 civilians were mudered in cold blood by an army unit trained and supported by the US government. The Reagan administration bears as much blame for the attrocity as the soldiers who comitted it.

El Mazote was only one of many massacres perpetrated during the civil war in El Salvador. It is the most well known because there was a survivor, Rufina Amaya, whose eyewitness account describes a massacre organized in the same manner of the NAZI holocaust massacres.

The men were separated from the women and taken for torture, interrogation and execution. Then the women were raped, then executed using machine guns. Finaly the children were murdered.

The death squad that carried out the massacre were units from the army's Atlacatl Battalion, a rapid reaction force trained in counter terrorism by the US. Reagan supported the Salvadorean government with arms and weapons, apparently indifferent to the numerous attrocities that the army was perpetrating.
