Listening to the “Tolerant” left you would think that Carrie Prejean was this hate filled monster just waiting to devour the souls. She committed one of the most grievous of leftist crimes, she spoke her mind. As George Orwell called it “Thoughtcrime.” Gasp! How can one woman be so terrible. We must call the Thought Police. Hangins’ too good for her! Burnins’ too good for her! Maybe she should be forced to run for President of the United States of America. If I am not mistaken her answer and Obama’s answer were amazingly similar. So where is the outrage at the Bamster? That is a story for another time.

The left is crowded with cowards likes Perez Hilton who are worthless. What has this DB done other than write a blog that makes him qualified to judge a beauty contest? He looks like a freak and dresses like a nightmare, and because he is a popular blogger all of Follywood is scared to get on his bad side. He may write a blog telling us what the stars are like behind closed doors. We may find out that they are much like us. They may have their own unpopular opinions, they may get sick like the rest of us and just maybe when they go to the bathroom it may stink like the rest of ours. (I think I am thinking too loudly)

It is great that one of the head peeps at the Miss California USA organization, Shanna Mokler, resigned over the flap. It is people like her that are making the pageants less about true beauty and more about pretending to be something your not. She has cheated on her husband, been divorced, slept with a string of guys, posed for Playboy. Man, if that doesn’t just scream trailer fabulous what does?

These contests are supposed to be about true beauty both inner and outer, and what is best about women. Instead, from what I have seen, it is about not speaking what you believe to be the truth, its about making sure you give a politically correct answer, whether you believe it or not, in order not to offend any of the so called “Free Thinkers.”

Oh dear God (sorry for the uppercase G liberal left, its just a force of habit), forgive me now for what I am about to write. I agree with Ms. Prejean’s opinion and I am proud of her for standing on it no matter what the consequences could have been. What she did is more American than anything some fat, greasy looking, little gay boi like Hilton has ever accomplished.

I have to go there is a knock on my door… While I am being questioned by the Thought Police check out these pics that I think explain why Hilton was picked to be the judge.

If you have noticed of late, the economy doesn’t seem that bad. At least thats what the media and government would lead you to believe. Even the Federal Reserve is making things look all rosey and wonderful, but why? Unemployment is still increasing, forclosures show no sign of abating, gas prices are still all over the board, and the dollar is still weak overseas. In fact the Feds have said they see the bottom in sight and we should see growth by the end of the year.

Is it truth or is the government, media and Feds up to their same lies and nonsense again? Well lets look at one probable cause for the Feds to be suddenly predicting a rosey future. Could it be H.R. 1207 Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009? This is a bill proposed by Ron Paul and 143 other representatives asking for oversight and and audit of the Federal Reserve.

Normally Ron Paul’s bills for oversight or audit of the Feds have 1 or 2 co-sponsors and die in committee. So the Feds could care less. This time 143 other brave representatives have signed on to support this bill and are the Feds ever scared. They are depending on their friends, Pelosi, Reed, Franks, et al and at worst case their boy Obama to shoot down this bill. In fact the media has failed to even speak of this bill for fear the American people may actually demand an accounting of the waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayers monies by the Feds over the past 80+ years and the results would be catostrophic for many a politician and many a banker.

This is your call from Paul Revere, this is your chance to F**K THE SYSTEM!!!

Call your Representatives and demand they support H.R. 1207. This is your chance to be more than a puppet and make a real change. Not the ridiculous change that Obama tricked you into believing in. This is real change that will rock the government and shake it and the bankers to their core. If you ever wanted to do something for your children’s future, this is it. Demand action NOW!

For those of us who remember coming home from school and watching the original Star Trek, the newest movie is for you. It doesn’t follow the Next Generation or Deep Space 9 foolishness. This is the way Star Trek was supposed to be. I went with my daughter on Friday night, and I listened as older fans and young fans were cheering, laughing and applauding all through the movie. I highly recommend this one for anyone who is either a rabid fan or someone who hates Star Trek, both will be pleasantly surprised.

Great Review from the Onion!

Live Long and Prosper!

A little over a week ago, my little one, Kaitlyn, brought me a form from school that she needed me to sign. As she was handing it to me she explained that it is an order form for a cake from Publix that she can decorate for me for Mother’s Day and “I really want to decorate a cake for you mommy.” I looked over the paper, signed it and told her I would give her the $6.50 for it in the morning. To which she rolled her eyes and responded “Oh no mommy, I don’t need any money. I have six dollars and fifty cents. I just need you to sign the paper.” I smiled, said okay and “Are you sure? You don’t have to use your money baby…” With hands on hips and in an exasperated tone she replied “Mom, I got it.”

Yesterday I came home to find that the basket of laundry I had left half done was completely done and all the clothes neatly placed on the beds. My son walked in and said “I folded the clothes for you mom.” Then later that night “Mom, do you want to go to a movie with me for Mother’s Day?”

When I woke up this morning to Kait’s homemade card, my Mother’s Day Cake, and the empty laundry baskets, I knew that my life is good.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today it seems that all things past feared are now come to pass. Right is wrong and up is down. I listen to people talk about injustice but truth now falls on deaf ears. People favor their egos and their intellect. Choosing flattering lies that please their ear instead of searching out the truths that can cure their souls. Here are some truths that help bring clarity.

-Never confuse movement with action. Ernest Hemingway

-Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. Ernest Hemingway

-We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate. Thomas Jefferson

-This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer. Will Rogers

-Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.
Will Rogers

-Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. George Carlin

-In religion and politics, people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination.
Mark Twain

-Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. Mark Twain

-Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now what’s going to happen to us with both a Senate and a House? Will Rodgers

-We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength; they are invited by the perception of weakness. And the surest way to avoid attacks on our own people is to engage the enemy where he lives and plans. We are fighting that enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan today so that we do not meet him again on our own streets, in our own cities. George W. Bush

-In the defense of our nation, a president must be a clear-eyed realist. There are limits to the smiles and scowls of diplomacy. Armies and missiles are not stopped by stiff notes of condemnation. They are held in check by strength and purpose and the promise of swift punishment. George W. Bush

-We make war that we may live in peace. Aristotle

-I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson

-If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it. Thomas Jefferson

-Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former. Albert Einstein

-A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five. Groucho Marx

It’s funny how prophetic these words are in light of our current situation. I was especially suprised at the irony of George Bush’s words regarding the actions of a president!
Peace Out!

If you are having one of those days where you feel like there is no hope, or that you are alone go visit my friend Jenny’s blog at Eagerly Awaiting. When you read her post you will read some great inspiration and a fresh look at some very simple principles.

I know her personally as she is a friend of my families and we go to the same church. She is not your typical girly girl. She rides dirt bikes, surfs and likes extreme sports. On the other hand she is a great person with strong values and morals and is an inspiration to younger girls. She helps out at the church and volunteers wherever she is needed.

When you read articles saying that teens don’t have the will power to say no to pre-marital sex or drugs or alcohol, well they never met her. Jenny is an inspiration for young and old alike. I am very blessed she is a friend and I hope you will stop by and read her blog.

Okay, so it’s been a long, long, long, time since I do one of these blogs…but sometimes you just gotta do, what ya gotta do.  And this week has me pondering many things as usual…some just happen to stand out more than others.

*I’m lovin’ it*

Let’s start with customer service or in most cases, lack thereof.  Isn’t that usually a fun issue anyway?  I thought so.  SO-OH, my kids and I were leaving the Renaissance Festival on Sunday afternoon.  It was a miserably hot day and the location although outside, had absolutely no airflow and very little shade.  Not to mention that it was on lot that was mostly dirt…or because it’s Florida, sand…But not the nice, soft white beach sand (for those of you not familiar with the Florida terrain) no it was that ugly gray sand that sticks to everything and makes you feel like you’re gonna choke.  Needless to say, we left early carrying out the 32 oz. $3.50 cent soda with not enough ice (because I think they were on rations) and proceeded to get into my equally hot, non air-conditioned but paid off so I’m not complaining, car and started towards my mom’s house where we could get into the cool clean pool water and enjoy the drink or our choice with as much ice as we liked. 

We got out of the dirt/sand ridden parking lot and onto the road.  The vestiges of the afternoon sticking to our skin making us feel grungy.  As I drove toward the road home, I glanced back at my little one who was unsuccessfully trying to tap the last of the ice out of the bottom of the cup (I hate it when that happens).  Her flushed little face with the stray strands of hair sticking to her forehead was more than I could take.  There is no way we could wait to get to grandma’s house for that cool pool and even cooler drink.  I made a quick right turn into McDonald’s.  Ugh.  Fast food is not my favorite.  The fact that it is called fast food should be enough to make anyone want to run for the border (no pun intended…okay maybe a little pun was intended). 
But I digress.  And the greatest of all the fast food evils (in my humble opinion) is McDonald’s.  Against my better judgment, I pulled into the drive-thru.  I glanced back at my children whose little faces lit up like Christmas morning.  See, they depend on us completely to guide them through life and teach them the value of things and how to make good choices in every aspect.  That fact has not prevented my kids, no matter how much I yammer on about how bad fast food is for you, from thinking that McDonald’s is the bees knees. Ugh.  

Once again against my better judgment and because they both just looked so pitiful, I asked them what they wanted and proceeded to order, completing my order with a large diet coke, extra ice in a styrofoam iced tea cup for myself please.  (Yes, I know that the styrofoam cup is bad for the environment, but having the ice melt too quickly is bad for my diet coke…)  I payed and pulled up to the second window.  (Remember when there was only one window?  When one person could handle that whole job by herself and the orders were usually right?)  The young woman behind the glass, wearing a blank look and chewing gum, without saying a word, handed me a bag in a rather perfunctory manner. Soon another bag found its way into the car, followed by a soda and a chocolate milk.  But no large diet in an iced tea cup…yet.  I sat waiting while blank look girl chatted with another employee regarding something that was going on in the store that had nothing to do with me or my diet coke.  After a (really long time) few seconds passed, blank look girl looked at me blankly again to which my response was “Oh I’m just waiting on my diet coke…”  Her blank look very rapidly morphed into a look of disgusted displeasure at my audacity.  “I know.  I’M getting it.” she retorted.  (Seriously, Is somebody kidding me?) 

Moving at a glacial pace, she proceeded to make my drink, which translates to, she put ice in the cup and put the cup under the soda dispenser and pushed a button.  Soon after (a million years later) the cup found it’s way into my car completing the order.  Except it was not what I’d asked for.  Since blank look girl turned her back to me immediately upon handing me the drink: I patiently (impatiently) waited to get her attention while she continued former conversation about store stuff not having to do with me or my order. 

Both women turned towards the window upon concluding their conversation and with a puzzled expression blank look girl said “Whatchoo  need baby?”

Me- Oh, well I’m sorry, this isn’t what I asked for. Why was I apologizing?? I asked for a large drink in an iced tea cup with extra ice.  But this cup is not the styrofoam iced tea cup….

She- Well you said a large drink and that’s a large drink.  The iced tea cups are extra large.

I think something happens to a person when they get into drive thru situations…or at least something happens to me…because I sat there for what seems an eternity trying to decide whether getting the styrofoam cup would be worth the certain hurdles I was going to have jump over in order to obtain it…transforming my once confident and self assured expression into that of a seemingly lack witted…well McDonald’s employee.  I decided that the argument was not worth it, sighed and merely pulled forward…seething…just a little bit, but putting the experience out of my mind and proceeding to enjoy my day.

Until yesterday…  Yesterday (all my troubles seemed so far away…) a co-worker came in from her lunch break complaining about a McDonald’s experience which led me to re-cap my own experience.  To which my co-worker shook her head in a ‘yeah I know exactly what you’re talking about because that’s happened to me’ manner and added “But you just gotta remind yourself that they’re minimum wage employees…”

Yeah, you’re right I nodded and walked away…but…no wait…NO!  You’re not right.  Who cares how much money they get paid per hour???  It isn’t as though the McDonald’s corporation lied to them about their wages.  They knew what they would be getting paid per hour when they accepted the positions.  Not to mention that they are not being forced to work there…not being held at gunpoint.  Therefore they should do the job they are being paid for, which is to provide the experience McDonald’s promises.  I on the other hand was lied to.  McDonald’s clearly wants me to believe that my experiences there will be such that I will leave singing “Ba duh, buh, buh, buh…I’m lovin’ it!” But that NEVER happens!  Ever.

*Tattooed eyebrows*

I don’t even know where to begin here.  Except to say that it is a phenomenon I do not understand.  Unless your eyebrows have been lost to something beyond your control….Ladies, just say no.  And that’s all I have to say about that.

And that’s all for now!  Ciao!  Hast la pasta baby!
