Britt started this......

...Great cowboys on the screen...(or something like that)....

Yes, I'm being sexist and shallow...but when they make a male version of Hooters, THEN you can call me sexist.

I HATE Wal Mart.

But I go there because things are cheap.

Certainly NOT for the friendly service.

By the time I got out of there this evening, I was in a terrible mood.

I admit I have relatives in Mississippi, and that I am a redneck by birth, if not by choice.

I am not ashamed of that...just a bit embarrassed by what some of my family has done.

In my family's past, there is a ridgerunner, an attempted murderer (rumor has it), a drug dealer (both of these are women), a suicide by shotgun (rumor on this one has it that he was murdered), and various shady characters, also.

I remember a cousin who used to beat the shit out of his wife, yet I also remember no one doing anything about it. She would answer the door looking all shy and a bit frightened, and he was always wearing jeans with his pot belly hanging over his belt and a beer in one hand, cigarette in the other.


I have an aunt who was seeing a sherriff or deputy or something like that, and when he was finished with her, he started dating her daughter.

My other cousin got his girlfriend pregnant, a beautiful girl with long brown hair, yet one of the biggest bimbos there ever was. I remember the way he would tell her what to do, even if it was to bring him a can of beer, and not in a nice way, either. She would just jump at his every word, going so far as to allow her kid's grandmother to be called "mom" while he called his own mother by her name.

Oh yeah, my grandfather was asked to join the KKK, but he declined. I don't understand why. Apparently the whole family is racist...prejudiced...bigoted...call it what you want.








By the way, Britt...this is for you...

VETERAN'S DAY isn't just for the soldiers that have fought recently...it's for anyone who's defended their home...whether it be here or abroad.

Thank you Jack and Andrew, Bob and Lewis...thank you Buffalo...thank you everyone who's ever fought for us. You don't hear it much but you are much appreciated.

The 54 Massachussetts, one of the first all black regiments...the Navajo code talkers...the Native Americans at Wounded Knee and the countless battles against the migrating white men...John Brown, a bit of a radical...his heart was in the right place, he just went about it all wrong...the men and women of the Underground Railroad...the many explorers and settlers from our past..

And don't you dare forget all those that are over there now...some too young to even drink, yet carrying guns. Those that have been hurt and are disfigured for life...a huge price to pay, don't you think?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Saddam Hussein sentenced to death for crimes against humanity. ...well....finally. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy...and I don't care if you love or hate Bush, I don't care if you are conservative or a liberal, I don't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican...it shouldn't make a difference, but everyone is using our fucked up political system to make an excuse about what is right or wrong.

The man is a murderer...he taught his children how to be murderers...he killed his own people...HIS OWN PEOPLE. What if Bush decided to wipe out all the welfare recipients...over 70's...or anyone that likes the Dixie Chicks?

He's a killer...a murderer...butcher...what other reason do you need to hang someone? Inhumane? Tough shit...he's a murderer...he should be put in a room with the families of his victims...a lottery where 100 get the chance...and let them take care of his punishment.

Of course you have these people that bitch and moan about rights blah blah blah...tough shit...he's a murderer...he shouldn't have any rights...he took away all rights of the people he killed. Just like child killers and murderers here AND abroad. So quit your political bullshit, stop complaining that the world will be rid of one more piece of shit, and put that energy into animal rights and cancer research, the space program and conservation.
