My husband's been referring to them lately as "republic-KLANs"!

Can't get much more accurate than that with some of these lovely folks!

April 24, 2014

Ahh, yes. The republi-KLANS. This putz stinks too bad even for them now, 'eh?

I saw some comments on the Raw Story in which they were calling cliven bundy "Bundamort"! Because he's now just another "He Who Must Not Be Named"!

Kicking this!

Jimmy Carter was correct. AGAIN.

My, my, my, somebody's had a LOT of work done.

His face is as phony and manufactured as he is. Another aging rich person turning himself into a gargoyle. SHEESH! There's a VERY appropriate saying about how - as you age, you get the face you deserve. Well, knock yourself out, steve-o!

Um… it has EVERYTHING to do with the good people of Georgia.

Enough of them vote for this shit. Enough of them vote for schmucks who rush to push forward this shit. Enough of them vote to send schmucks who want this shit into positions of power, locally, statewide, AND to Washington.

And, sadly, enough of those who COULD vote and comfortably outnumber the aforementioned - to keep those same schmucks OUT OF POWER - turn apathetic and stay home on Election Day.

What ALL of us everywhere should be asking:

WHENEVER the following shit issues forth: "...for turning a blind eye to the more than 300,000 Coloradans whose insurance pans were cancelled due to ObamaCare, despite promises from President Obama and Senator Udall that they could keep them.”

SERIOUSLY, GOP? Since WHEN did you guys start caring about people getting their insurance cancelled?

I swear - is this all they know how to do?

Start screeching "Impeachment!!!!" every time there's a Democrat in high office - presumably "in their way"?

Interesting comment from a poster whose sig line includes the motto

"don't spit in the soup. We've all got to eat."

Happy Easter to you, too! And to everybody!

Such a nice day! Just happy all around! The boys are still in town (next tour doesn't start til Friday night), daughter and boyfriend are coming back tomorrow from Coachella, my best friend's in town, sunshine and not too hot, heard from my sister, really a lovely day! And the birds are all back, eating the birdseed I scattered, and there are eggs in the little nest tucked up in the eaves near the front door! That little nest suddenly appeared a year ago, and soon enough there was a little bird nesting in it. The eggs hatched conveniently right around Mother's Day! The babies grew and thrived and left about a month or so later I think, and it's been empty since then. BUT! Now somebody else has moved into the nest and it's the same species. We think it's either the parents again, from last year, or it's their hatchlings all grown up! Good times!

Everybody's happy and having a really lovely mellow enjoyable stress-free day (for a change!)! We usually have a houseful of people, but still, blessings great and small! Wonderful way to celebrate the Resurrection!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
