DEAR MR. BUSH, YOU ARE A WAR CRIMINAL.

Dear MrBush,
I know that you and your henchmen don't read. I also know that you don't care that we all read and write letters and pay attention to What is being Done in Our Name. We are Still Americans. We value WHAT The Founding Fathers Set Forth in in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. There was Nothing set forth by the Founding Fathers that precedented that we, as Americans llegally Imprison Others.There was Nothing that allowed Our Government to Imprison, and Torture Others Indefinently. There was Nothing about Renditioning People, Hiding , imprisoning, and Torturing them in Secret Prisons. There was nothing about Building Secret Harmful Prisons on Communist Islands. There was Nothing that allowed Our Government to Declare False Wars and to Occupy Countries Under False Pretenses.

I do not Live in Bushland, I do not abide your Lies or False Laws, or mianipulation of Real Laws. I Believe in Peace. I believe In Justice. I believe in Truth.
I believe that You will need to be Imprisoned and Impeached for the Coward of a War Criminal that You are.
I am a Patriotic American , you are Not.


( I have written to the UN and asked that you be Tried as A War Criminal. I will keep writing to them. I sent them 40 hours of Vidoetape of Katrina Refugees dying in the Streets. if I had Film of Gitmo- I would sent that. I pray the Red Cross Sends the UN and the International Court the Interview tapes.I pray that there ARE photos on CD's- just like there were or Abu Gahrib.)

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 9.25.06

Monday Night Football was a beautiful thing- Saints won.
Green Day and U2 played their Hearts out to 72,000.
(GooGoo Dolls played before the game outside the Dome)
But mostly the Game showed footage Over and Over of the Awul Damage that
Katrina wrought- the footage kept it REAL.
Spike Lee also spoke up in the Press Box- he kept it Real too.
Even Though the Dome was repaired Let No One Lose sight of WHAT happened
last year during and after Katrina.
Especially Mr.Bush.

Maybe New Orleans is Like 911-
WE WILL NEVER EVER FORGET.

OUR GEORGE HAS IT ALL WRONG

"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations. Culitvate Peace and Harmony WITHIN."
George Washington

a Twist of it...

"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations.CULTIVATE PEACE AND HARMONY WITH ALL"


Please note George Washington didn't mention Torture or Bombing other countries.

WHAT A LOAD.....of "news" that is.

It was quite a weekend.
Too much happened.
MUST SEE LIST FROM THE WEEKEND:

Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends


*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
YOUR FRIDAY QUESTION: HOW DO WE TOPPLE AN EVIL DANGEROUS LEADER?

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*


It has been a Hell of a month. ( and yell, like the past five years have been a candyassed lilly of a picnic).
I am sick of listening to the blow-hard-ignoramuss-drunk-ass-spoiled-rotten-cause-babs-sucked-as-a-mother-bigotted-pretentious-carpetbaggered-illiterate-heartless-bastard of a King spew every 48 hours on my BoobTube.
I am so tired of scraping vomit out of my keyboard as I listen to his petulent-pissy-panted outbursts.
I am tired of asking if he needs Medication ? or Detox ? or just another shot of Jim Beam....
I am so tired of being ashamed of a "Leader" ( cough-gag-cough) that is NOW trying to change the Geneva Conventions because he is TRYING to protect his own Criminal ass- because he has been MANDATING TORTURE.
Am I the only one that thinks it is a Bit Odd that Susposedly America went to Iraq , and according to Lie#57 we were Spoonfed and doublehumped by the MSM and the Bushco Regime- "WAS TO FREE THEM OF AN EVIL DICTATOR THAT TORTURED PEOPLE".

( Ahhh But feel better Beav- the GOP Warlords worked out the NEW Torture Guidelines this week and in their pompous whiteass feelgood vacant souls they "think" they have rendered it Legal and Palatable by Henry the VIII dines with Mengele standards...and gee fingerlicking good to the White Castle King George. Never Mind that Millions of Americans DO NOT SUPPORT TORTURE. )

Please Someone wake George Orwell and tell him we need a NEW Chapter...
or atleast a Road Map on how to topple the Evil Regime that we have driving the Bus That Was America...

Don't Shut Up - Stand Up

MEET "TINY" THE GOP'S NEW TORTURE MASCOT (gee their mama's must be so proud)

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Grrrrrrrr.....

( okay , you have been warned- the subject this Friday Morning at the Enigma Cafe is Torture...it ain't pretty. Enigma ran out of coffee and patience three minutes ago. Have mercy on my decaffeinated soul. )

( FOOTNOTE: Please give TINY a warm welcome ...he is viscious, after all he only has one testicle the size of a split pea.)

(Footnote2 : Please click title of the post- NEWSGUY gives a solid post on torture, way more eloquent than the pissed off Enigma)

GOP "LEADERS" MAKE A DEAL WITH THE CRIMINAL KING ABOUT TORTURE

Yeah...the picture is Rude. But not half as rude as Closed Door Sneaky Assed Lilly Livered Whimpassed "Negogiations" that led to a "DEAL" being humped out as to what makes "ACCEPTABLE TORTURE".

( And just to let you know I did not take this photo, and I do not know the participants. I do know that Blogger or Google will most likely label the ol' Enigma Cafe Objectionable again....)

NEWS ON RITA AND LARRY ( The famous YouTube Bunnies)

MR.BUSH SPOKE AT THE UN, HE SPOKE ONLY FOR HIMSELF

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Mr.Bush spoke at the UN today. I as an American am Embarrassed. I am Horrified. To the World I would say I am so sorry that this War Criminal came and petulently forced his ignorant views upon you. I would say I am so sorry that that this War Criminal that "removed a Torturing Dictator " ,yet he is now himself a Torturing Dictator. Mr.Bush is NOT my President, and he Never was. I so not know a single person, Republican or Democrat or Independent that supports him or voted for him. He is a Criminal. He is Dangerous. He should face Criminal Charges for all that he has done. He and His Entire Regime. Impeach and Imprison.


There is Not enough Tears.
There is Not Enough Rage.
There is Not Enough Shame.

NASA -MAYBE IT IS TIME FOR A NEW RIG ?

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

When I was in highschool, many moons ago, I had the opportunity to drive Cross Country with friends. One of the friends had an" Uncle' that was susposed to "chaperon" this Venture. It was 1976, the Uncle invited the Travelers to a BBQ, and he proudly showed us the Vehicle ( A 1965 VW Bus with ALL the finest luxories) that we were susposed to be traveling in. He was proud of this Vehicle. He was 24 and truly a bonafide Hippie, and we didn't want to offend him, but we all had concerns about traveling Great Distance in the Old Vehicle, and it wasn't even 30 years old. ( It just looked it).

Well, Epilogue to the Great Venture:
It turned out that the Naive Highschool Students did indeed have Good Common Sense. Money was saved and a Newer Safer Vehicle was acquired before the Venture. And Uncle Mike was indeed Chaperon, but we limited his Duties to sitting in the Back Seat serenading us with his guitar. ( In many ways we were Chaperon for him).

So here is my Question, My Concern. The Space Shuttle is frigging old- like 30 years old, even with New Paint Job and New Tiles, should we really be using this Vehicle to travel Great Distances ?

STEVE IRWIN'S MEMORIAL

ANIMAL PLANET tonight at 9pm aired what was susposedly the Memorial Service for Steve Irwin. I am not sure what it was. It was definently the oddest thing I have ever seen. I am still confused by it. It was susposed to be a small intimate service at his Zoo, and for the Keepers and his family and friends. And Terri was there with their children, and many families were there with their children. Yet it was a "Show", very staged. And interspersed with the service Animal Planet aired Interviews with "Hollywood", Kelly Ripa, Jason Timberlake and Cameron Diaz, and more " Stars". It made me sick. I am still wondering if the people sitting in the Zoo outdoor arena had to listen to Kelly Ripa ramble on...Maybe I just don't understand Animal Planet or Australia. Anyways please see the Wildlife Warriors site I posted earlier in the Month, it is doing fine work and you can honor Steve and his fine Conservation work.

WE THE PEOPLE.....

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Here in Cleveland, this is just another neighbor.
There are susposedly 10,000 people that reside in Downtown Cleveland.
Urban Dwellers.
Yet susposedly 3000 are Homeless.
This is the poorest City in the Country.
More than 35% of our population are living below the Poverty level.
More than 50% of the children here are living in Poverty.
Many of the Homeless on the Streets here have health problems, 600 have AIDS,
and more are Disabled.
It is Unknown how many are VETS- But is a large number.
Yes, From Gulf I and also Iraq.
Many are families, women and children. Many of the Homeless are Working Poor.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

I am an Urban Dweller.
I am currently trying to get a job at the Clinic Downtown that provides Health Care to
the Homeless.
Handing out change, sandwiches, soup, and water on my own is not enough anymore.
Working at the Clinic won't pay much.
But being a nurse to My Neighbors .....
That Matters.
They Matter.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

PARADISE LOST OR JUST BROKEN? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY ?

What the hell has happened to Our Country? Is anyone noticing? Is Anyone keeping Score? Well maybe We should ....
Cause quite simply it ain't Pretty and it Ain't Paradise .
And before I see one more Terra Ad written for "Soccer Moms" and beer swilling Nascar Dads....I have a few thoughts.

So let's talk about some of the King's Great Work...and the Repugs...
( Every Tuesday I think I will Review the Wonders until Election Day, Please contribute too- let's see if we can hit 100 by Election Day- betcha we can...)

(1) About 911. I still would like Someone, oh hell Anyone to explain to me WHY the Hell the Emergency Broadcast System was not used. And why we have this Great AirForce- and yet NORAD did squat on 911 between 8:30 am and noon ( that we know of). Althought there are many questions about the Pentagon and that Field in Pennsylvania.And let's not forget the Human Shield Moment- Bush reading a Goat Book with Children while he pissed his pants.

And Now the Bigger Question is Why 40,000 Plus were exposed to Horrendous Toxins and Lies.....
( and please someone explain to my Why there is NO Memorial at the WTC Site- how disrespectful....of the Dead and the Living- but now that we have lived through Katrina we know that People's Lives are easily disrespected....)

(2) FDA and CDC waited over 3 weeks to get "involved" with the latest EColi Outbreak- anyone want to bet some good moeny that all the Money has pissed away on Bird Flu Protection- and screw EColi and BSE ( Mad Cow Virus) Programs.

(3) Anyone want to guess how well our Ports are Protected and Improved Since 911 ? How about Chemical Plants ? Borders? Trains?
yeah...get back to me on that....

(4) Katrina....well where do you want me to start? And How Many Programs are "under" the Homeland Insecurity Blanket?
Let' s just say the Damage alone is enough to send the Entire Administration to jail for a long time. And about Katrina- Jack Cafferty said it better than I ever could...so watch the YouTube below...

(5) 47 Million without Health Care- APPALLING, SHAMEFUL.FUCKING INEXCUSABLE. ( And don't get me started on the VETS and Guard that are out on the Street and NOT even included in this number- with no care, no jobs, no homes.....)

REMEMBER THE CONSTITUTION?(turn on cpsan NOW)

DEAR MR. BUSH,OUR OWN KING GEORGE,
TONIGHT, RIGHT NOW THE CONSITUTION, OUR CONSTITUTION IS BEING READ AT GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, IT IS ON CSPAN, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TURN IT ON. WE THE PEOPLE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK AND THE TRUE WAR CRIMINALS PUT IN JAIL.
WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT SUPPORT YOUR FRAUDELENT WARS, FEAR MONGERING TACTICS, OR YOUR ILLEGAL TORTURE.

And now the Anniversary of 911 , instead of being respectful and honor what 1000's have endured since then, ABC has created their own little Special tonight. Shame on them for dishonoring their own employees and News Department by throwing a charade together and calling it a fine work. It is a Shame. Call and write and let them know you are Intelligent, and let them know that they are spineless shallow bastards for spreading LIES on the anniversary on such a Human Tragedy. Oh, but be polite and leave messeges and fax them In Clear Concise English. ABC should not be humping the BUSHCO Propaganda.

ONE MORE SATURDAY NITE TUNE ABOUT HOME 9.9.06

Micheal Buble - Home


*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*

Home....I do know where it is...
I have wandered so much these last three years...too much.
Home is where my son is,
on the computer until ungodly hours.
Our dog on the sofa,
Our Cat in the windowsill,
My tattered boots,
My jean jacket on the broken rocker,
It doesn't matter as long as I know the Moon is in the sky.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*
This song melts my heart and
remember places that I hold dear....

Home in other places.....
and People I miss dearly....

SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC 9.9.06

INEXPICABLE RELATIONSHIPS

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*


We all have relationships and friendships in our lives that are defined by moments
that are prescious and don't always make sense. How and Why we connect sometimes is not as important as the Journey itself. A little over a year and a half ago I almost died, I never ever question the Value of the People in my life.I Respect, Honor and Treasure those around me so much more...

BRAVERY....has a Face and a Name

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Tonight again Keith Olbermann spoke Truth to Power.
This time he took on the King in his Special Comment of Countdown.
Watch the video, I will post as soon as I get.
(Crooks& Liars has up already, I will try to put the YouTube of it up).
This man is indeed Courage in Motion.
Show him your support, again write MSNBC.
Thanks.
Enigma.

(Scroll down please- some really good pics and videos)

SHOULDN'T BE THERE...PERIOD.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

I look at this photo and I am struck that this kid should not be there.
There is innocence in this young face.
There is tenderness....a thoughtful moment.
There is a bittersweet homesick quality as well.

How dare Someone like Rumsfeld and this inept King make decisions about
Our Children being sent to Places doing Things In their Names- NOT OUR NAMES.

And I know that there are Mothers in Iraq that worry about their Children
everyday - because they are being occupied and are losing family and friends and
neighbors and Children Everyday.

It is time to stop the flow of Blood of All of Our Children.

BREAKING THE SILENCE: FILM BY JOHN PILGER

Breaking The Silence (Expose of BushCo NeoCon)


This is beautifully rendered documentary by John Pilger, it very carefully shows the Neocon's Destructive path and what has been wrought Worldwide by this Administration, and how 911 led the beginning of this perilous path.

This Ol'Brit ( Richard) over on the Blogroll was wise enough to post and I am "borrowing"...and passing it on. I hope you all do the same. It is 51 minutes long and heartbreaking and yet so beautifully done that you will be shocked how fast the minutes fly.
( Kind of like Spike Lee's documentary in that way).

BTW do give Richard some love- he hit 100,000 this week....Proving that he is indeed loved and read on both sides of the Pond.

STEVE IRWIN'S SUDDEN DEATH

Down Under has lost an amazing man. The rest of the world shares their grief. A Naturalist, an Environmentalist, an Educator. He died in a rare Sting Ray attack on Sunday while filming a new show. He apparently swam over the ray, and was struck by a barb, and his heart was pierced. He did have time to pull out the barb but died almost immediately there after. His crew on his boat did perform CPR and attempt to revive him. And yes according to papers in New Zealand and Australia the crew did film the incident, they did shut down the cameras after he pulled out the barb. It is thought by the experts and witnesses of the incident that he did die almost instantly. He was 44, and married to Terri, his American Sweetheart from Oregon of 16 years, they have two small children. I will post links to his Crocodile Websites and foundations and organizations that will continue his fine work.( Some are hard to access tonight, but should be posted within 24 hours).

As a mom I have to say he made all Creatures more exciting and more interesting, and I do know that when my son was young we watched alot of Discovery and Animal Planet thanks this fine man.And thanks to him my son loves all creatures, snakes to skinks to gators. Steve Irwin died doing what he loved with the animals he loved. Namaste.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Please do go to the link above, Steve Irwin's other Croc sites are too jammed, his Wildlife Warriors site is very interesting, reflects all of his hard work on Conservation , Environmentalism and work in Australia as well as globally. You also can learn about how to become a Wildlife Warrior.The organization also helped build and maintain the Animal Hospital and Rescue as part of the Australia Zoo in Beewah.

Sept 5th 10pm Update: Discovery Networks is setting up a Special Tribute Fund for Steve Irwin, it will be called the Crikey Fund. ( When I have more details I will post and add to Blogroll.) Australia is offering a State Funeral to Terri and her family.
More to be posted when details known, Terri is in Tasmania trekking and has not returned to Australia yet.

Poem below dedicated to Terri and her children.

A TRIBUTE TO LOVE....the Forever Kind

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

So Late last night I watched "In Her Shoes" ,which was sweet in a sensitive way, and when it was over I switched over to CNN before calling it a night. And they had the Breaking News Report about Steve Irwin's Death. I was thunderstruck as anyone. I was deeply sad for his young wife and his small children left behind. I thought how 44 is so young. And how their lives were woven together like a fine everlasting fabric, but 16 years is not long enough. But I also think their Love was unique from the very first day.

And yet in "In Her Shoes" there is a lovely poem about Love that came to mind. The Poem is "I carry your heart with me" by eecummings.


^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it.
(anywhere I go you go my dear,
and whatever is done by only me
is your doing my dear)

I fear no Fate
(for you are my fate,my sweet)
I want no world,
(For beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always
meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life ; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that 's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart ( I carry it in my heart)

X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*

I have a thing about Rabbits...true Bunny Love.
My first rabbit I brought home when my son was just a baby. I actually went to the Pet Shop to get a Budgie, but ended up with 2 Budgies, that could not be seperated. And then in the cage beneath them was this lonely depressed long hair lop bunny. Maybe it was the big glossy brown eyes or the long low hanging ears, but he looked so sad. It was funny, I brought home the budgies, and then I went back to get more Birdy supplies a few days later, and the Bunny was clearly looking sad. The Sales girl joked that maybe he missed the Birds that had been his upstairs neighbors. I decided if he missed his neighbors that much- they needed to be together. So I brought home George.

Now George was no ordinary bunny, he had quite a history by the time he reached us. He was a Pedigree Show Bunny, and also had been a Magician Bunny- when he was younger. But his career took a signifigant turn when it turned out that rooms of Excitable Children at Birthday parties led to a Little Excitable Bunny- who had an Incontinence Problem. The he became a Show Bunny, getting Ribbons and also granted some Exciting Stud Duties. By the time I brought him home he was 4 and quite a character.

He loved chasing us around the House especially if we were wearing Fluffy Slippers. Unfortunately this led to him falling in Love with my son's stuffed animals. But what happened to Barney was unspeakable. Now truth be told when my son was 2 and half we begrudgingly led him watch Barney- and sad to say for all of one month- he loved Barney. And then the phase was over. And the Stuffed Barney was left alone on the Bottem shelf. Well, George made sure that Barney was never alone again. And in some respects George was more fulfilled and never again were slippers or leg humped.

George lived to the ripe old age of 11. Along the way we acquired Thumper and Benny. Benny was a 20 pound New Zealand Rabbit that was found in a Ravine and was brought to us Christmas eve wrapped in a Blanket. A Desperate Neighbor said they did not know what to do with this bunny, but that if she kept him her Boxers would dine on the poor thing.Over the years many animals arrived this way, for some reason many neighbors assumed because we were medical- nurses that we would have Vet skills. The list was amazing, mice, hamsters, a hedgehog, a chicken with a head wound, and even a three legged Painted Turtle, a Pregnant Skink, and a Walking Stick. ( that is just naming a few). And so the Enigma Animal Hospital was run by son and myself.And my poor Ex had to put up with all sorts of creatures and helped feed and construct many interesting habitats. And for many years my son wanted to be a Vet....He loved them all and tended them all. The First patient had been a Guinea Pig named Gimpy with a broken leg. And yeah, it is amazing what Landlords don't know about.

Benny was 20 pounds of docile love and so mellow. The first few days we had him he litterally lived in my son's room, lounging with the stuffed animals, a giant white Easter Bunny. ( And yeah I have to be honest my son was already having Santa doubts at 4 and a half- and having this magical Huge Bunny arrive was very reaffirming, "Gee, Maybe Santa knew he should come live with us." My son said this and I agreed readlily. ) Benny lived in my son' s room until he was 12 and a half, and my son read him books every night for many years. I would walk by his room and hear Benny nibbling on his bedtime snack, and Rob reading. I still have some of the Books that Benny chewed on as well ( I guess he thought that they were part of the Snack ). He had two Roomies through the years, both guinea pigs, Albert and Emily.But first and foremost he was my son's roomate, and for many years my son always had a huge cage built by my ex just for Benny, at the end of his bed.

Then last but not least there was Thumper, he just passed away the Summer of 2005. He was 15 when he died. He was much like the bunnies in the video, he would play chase. He also played frisbee, we used to give him Container lids and he would throw them around and then chase them and run away with them. For years our cat Xena slept on Thumpers cage. He liked watching golf and soccer, Jeproardy and talk shows. He had been a Lab Bunny in his youth before he wandered our way. We figured this out when we found a Tattoo Number in his year. His cage had to face the TV, and so he could eat and watch. If it didn't he wouldn't eat, period. We kind of guessed that his lab cage had definently been near a TV.

All of our bunnies used a peepan to take care of business, once they were trained , I could leave a pan out or leave the cage door open and they would do their business. This meant that for many years we gave our Rabbits Hop Time. You do have to remember that they ove to chew, so you do have to make sure you make certain that ALL electrical and phone wires are not within reach. All of our bunnies liked snacks, cinnamon toast, cheerios and apples. And yeah, when we lived in houses where we had a garden, I did indeed let them dine in the Garden. Also if rabbits are fixed, especially the boys they aren't as aggessive and the humping can be greatly curbed, it would have been nice to figure this when we had George.They were some of the best Roomies we have had, they were Family.

The last couple of years my Grandmother was alive she was battling Breast Cancer. She and my grandfather were living in Florida. I was living North going to Nursing School and I would go see them on Holidays and try to help when I could. The final year I went down and my grandfather had developed a new Friday Night Ritual, he would go to Cocktail Parties. It turned out that my grandmother was worried about him, and worried that he would be lonely, she knew she was running out of time. So she developed the Cocktail Plan. She taught him how to make Finger Foods and Dips and sent him to the Parties. She even made sure that Certain Friends invited him to Certain Parties in the Golf Community. I came for one holiday and she said " I don't want to think of him being alone, this way I atleast can make sure suitable women look out for him. So I am teaching him how to cook for dates. Oh, Well, I might even have to help pick him out a wife." She said this very seriously and very lovingly. I would wince. He would do all of this in good cheer, but I saw the pain in his eyes, behind the smile.She would remind him to polish his white shoes and smile at him, and he would use Fantastick and a Handi-Wipe sing offkey " Hey, Good Looking". He would smile back at her.

[ Earlier this year I wrote about Flo in February in two seperate pieces on the blog- "Florence My Grandmother" and also "April 1968". She was an Amazing Woman, if you want to read more about her.They were married 50 years.)

She did indeed die Christmas Eve many years ago, and yes, one of the Friends that had been close to both of them to indeed marry my grandfather, just as she has hoped and prayed.

For many years with my son I recently realized I was still doing the Friday Night Finger Foods, Pigs in a Blanket, Fondue, and cheese and crackers....

Overtime my grandfather Ted became a Dip Inventor. This was his very favorite, and I don't think he would mind if I shared the Secret Reciepe.

SECRET FAKE CRAB DIP

2 16 oz packages of Phili Cream Cheese
One small jar of Artichoke Hearts packed in Water
Kethup
Worstershire Sauce
Lemon
Cilantro

Soften the Cream Cheese, and then place in mixing bowl.
The Add Worstshire Sauce, about 3 tsp.
The Ketchup- about 2 tablespoons, enough to make it a pale salmon color.
Then drain and chop the artichokes finely.
Then mold into a mound shape put lemon wedges around the sides,
and sprig of Cilantro in center.
Place in Frig to chill for atleast 1-2 hours.
The put Wheat Thins on plate while it rechills.

He would show up to parties in his green pants and white shoes and proudly bring his "Special Crab Dip".
( And yes he would call it that...and it was quite a hit.)

Okay folks....It's raining here in Cleveland and misty by the lake. I am making Pumpkin Bread and Soup for dinner and watching football. My son and I are attempting to share a computer ( his is sick again), so I can't blog until much later...So I am a wee bit frustated. So I will put on some Bluegrass tonight....and later Blues. This is an amazing clip from a performance on David Letterman.

THOUSANDS ARE DYING IN NEW ORLEANS NOW (originally posted sept1,2005).IT IS ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS,LIES ALWAYS ARE.

REPOSTED ON SEPT FIRST 2006,
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON SEPT 1ST 2005
PLEASE LOOK UP MISSING NUMBERS FROM KATRINA
IN BOTH LOUSIANA AND MISSISSIPPI.
AS OF THIS DATE THE RECORDS HAVE BEEN SCRUBBED
BY THE GOVERNMENT.
SUSPOSEDLY NO ONE REMAINS MISSING.
THEY HAVE BEEN ERASED.
( SOME SMART BLOGGERS DOWNLOADED THE
ORIGINAL REPORTS- 27 PAGE LONG LIST.
MORE THAN 2661 CHILDREN, AND 13,000 ADULTS).
SOMEBODY IS LYING.
THE BUSH REGIME DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT
THAT MORE DIED WAITING FOR CARE- THAN THE STORM.
THAT WOULD BE GENOCIDE.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Dear Mr. Bush-
People are dying in the Streets, babies, grandmothers.
People that are sick, elderly, old, mothers, people
that are so weak and poor- they never had a chance.
Many could not leave because they have no car
and no money, they never really had a Choice.
We have heard Ships are on the way-
but people are dying NOW.
Even in Somlia, or Beirut Food would have been airdropped by now.
There are on their forth day of NO food and NO water.
Reporters are showing the bodies- have you seen them?
Do you know how to work the TV?
I have not seen any Guard on TV all day-
for many hours- you need atleast 40,000 Guard NOW-
C5 them there NOW.
This is America - it doesn't have to be this way.
90 degree heat and feces and bodies floating-
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A NATIONAL GUARD-
SEND THEM NOW.
About moving the people- take them on buses and airlift them
to the other Dome.You even have Rail you could use.
But the people at the Superdome and the the streets of New Orleans
and the Convention Center are Dying right there in the Streets.
Their Home.They are dying by the hour.
There are atleast 10,000 people also trapped
in hospitals, nurses doctors dying by their patients.
And there is Rioting and Mayhem, but the
bottem line is that Four days of No Food and water
will make all kinds of people Crazed.
They are Scared, Scared of Dying in Hell.
Nightfall will bring even more Tragedy.
Send in Troops NOW, atleast 40,000.
Air Drop Food NOW.
Air Drop Water NOW.
If you do Nothing- it is Genocide.
