Donald Trump will NEVER give up!! He located this latest 100% genuine Obama birth certificate ...

Now this is what I call an example of Paint Shop Pro ... at its best! (Click on birth certificate to read it.)

Watch the Trump crowd and remaining birthers jump on this!

May 21, 2011 is Armed Forces Day according to my (US-made) calendar -- Would we be raptured on such a Holy Day in America?

Will any of the Tea Partiers be raptured -- or will they finally see (too late!) that Jesus's message is dead center in such ideas as allowing for the possibility that increased taxes for the wealthy ... actually can help those in need; that is, those at the bottom of the pay scales? Will the radical Republicans still oppose Social Security and Medicare? A suggestion to believing Christians: leave your Bibles out on your lawns or on the sidewalks in front of your homes before you're raptured so that those who are left behind can read them and understand that "Obamacare" is truly in the Message that Jesus taught. From what I've read of the Tribulation that follows the rapture, they'll need Obamacare ... and MORE!

Healed ... more or less... I think I'll call the vet this morning!

From this angle, it still looks "broken," don't you think? Click on the X-ray to get a closer view. That spur looks as though it would hurt, but she was as sweet as ever on my pillow last night.
Maybe I'll have to set her in my bed with a slight orientation towards my face ...
Say, nephew John ... could you have your brother, Ed, take a look at this and see what he thinks? Admittedly, I work for the Quinault Tribe on the Pacific Ocean and he works for the Oneida Tribe in Wisconsin ... but bones are bones, aren't they? Even Democrat bones versus Republican bones! Bones are bones.

Sister Mary Lou: Yes, you may put these latest pictures of Sweetie on your fridge. Although she was "fixed" yesterday (also), she/he/it is still your niece/nephew/whatever.

Sweetie's healing ... I thinkl! But her weight is another thing--over twelve pounds!

Jesse Ventura's words, but my sentiments exactly!

Writing to the power brokers ... political, social and economic! Jesse says it exactly right!

"You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!"

For those of us who have accepted Jesus's Death for our Salvation, this Government Shutdown "crisis" might last only 42 or 43 days!

Administration officials are saying (as of five minutes ago) that nearly 800,000 federal workers would probably be told to stop working if a deal is not reached in the next eight hours. Small business loans would stop. Tax returns filed on paper (mine is still on my hard drive) would not be processed. Government Web sites would go dark--but good news: Mediawingnuts is not threatened--momentarily. And federal loan guarantees for new mortgages would become unavailable--note to son in Leavenworth, Washington: sign the damned papers quickly this afternoon!

Speaking to reporters moments ago, a senior administration official said the cumulative impact of the shutdown “would have a significant impact on our economic momentum well beyond this upcoming weekend." ... "but, what about beyond May 21?" is my question for the day!

The long term effects might be no more than the opening salvo for the seven year Tribulation Period prophesied for roughly four or five millennia so this might be a longer shutdown of the U.S. Government than either our Congress or Barack Obama might be imagining as even remotely possible.

Just a random thought ...

And no, I am not one of the "Rapture Freaks" who are cancelling all plans for beyond May 22 or so. I just thought that it was an interesting thought for the day as I listen to the mumblings of disaster here on the Indian Reservation wherein I work--because of our dependence upon Federal monies.

There are Adults in the Political Arena ... Time for Paul Ryan (no relative!) to Step Aside!

Back when the "tan man" and the "orange man" could actually laugh ... and agree on an issue or two! (This photo from about a year ago ...)

Although President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner have been blasting each others' economic proposals of late, they both know that the Government simply cannot shut down over silliness like Representative Paul Ryan's proposal yesterday to slowly do away with Medicare and Social Security. At least the two nominal leaders of their parties who represent two different constituencies (the People in Obama's case and the corporations in Boehner's case), both want a decent and fair America for their children and grandchildren.

Agreement will be reached and the two men above should get 95% of the credit.

No, despite the Pee Party/ Pee Potty/ Tea Potty/ whatever they call themselves these days, the Government will NOT shut down on Friday evening!

After Three Weeks, You'd Think She'd be out of the Splint/Cast ... But Sweetie is still the Sweetest!

Mediawingnuts Holding His Sweetheart!

Oh yes, ignore the background. It will be straightened up in a week or two. Just as Sweetie's Uncle Richard who remembers my living room quite well, I think, would assure you all.
