Many of the Parrishes have started evacuations....See the post down below about the Coming Storm...I will be blogging about Katrina this weekend, since Nothing has really changed in three years, and there has been minimal healing and Truth Realized about This Precious Area of the Country.

Honoring Katrina....All Weekend.. And Monitoring Gustav)
I am blogging this weekend to Honor Katrina.I originally blogged Katrina in 2005 ( and there is more to that story I will post later this weekend.) So there will be numerous posts Honoring what was Lost. I also will be blogging Gustav, as he bears Down on the Gulf Coast, and Lousianna and NOLA....as the RNC plans their big party. It is worth Watching and Monitoring Closely. So there are Gustav Updates below, and links to critical articles. Mistakes have been made- in the planning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My other posts are over at Peace Tree today.
CRITICAL ISSUE:::THERE IS NO SHELTER THIS TIME- NOT EVEN A DAMN DOME- WHERE ARE THE ELDERLY AND POOR SUPPOSED TO GO- HEAVEN?
***{{ CRITICAL:::THINK on this THIS....Last time people had designated shelters to go to;....this time they are supposed to just GET OUT, Get on a Bus...BUT there are no shelters or MASS shelters planned for 1000's of people. Think about all the people you know- do they have money to STAY somewhere, like a hotel ? Do they have a Way Out ? Under the Old FEMA: there was a Dsaster Preparedness Plan for Organizing Mass Shelter to go with the Mass Evac Orders. ( I know I trained with the Red Cross. Most Working Class Families and Elderly have NO Where to go, and no money to find new shelter....And yes, Again I say that Chertoff is a Criminal).}}****
SNIPPET of article Explaining this Horrendous Error::::
"NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Police with bullhorns plan to go street to street this weekend with a tough message about getting out ahead of Hurricane Gustav: This time there will be no shelter of last resort. The doors to the Superdome will be locked. Those who stay will be on their own.
New forecasts Friday made it increasingly clear that New Orleans will get some kind of hit - direct or indirect - by early next week. That raised the likelihood people would have to flee, and the city suggested a full-scale evacuation call could come as soon as Sunday.
Those among New Orleans' estimated 310,000 to 340,000 residents who ignore orders to leave accept "all responsibility for themselves and their loved ones," the city's emergency preparedness director, Jerry Sneed, has warned.
As Katrina approached in 2005, as many as 30,000 people who either could not or would not evacuate jammed the Louisiana Superdome and the riverfront convention center. They spent days waiting for rescue in squalid conditions. Some died."

REMEMBERING NOLA.....

REMEMBERING NOLA...
It is a Way of Life,
It is deep hearted Blues,
It is gin soaked Jazz,
and grits,hushpuppies,and
fresh cornbread.
It is panfried shrimp with limes and hot sauce.
It is three day Gumbo that leaves you sweating and
thirsty.
It is Sunday Church where the buildings rock and
seismic sway.
It is the slideguitar pleading in the still of the night.
It is another Lonely Crooner sending shockwaves in an old
riverfront garage.
It is women swaying in gauzy dresses and men in
timeless suits.
It is granmommies lullabying babes, and singing
This Ol'Man with a hum and a roll.
It is where old folks are tended with loving gentle hands
and Respect.
It is where Family is a Way of Life.
In New Orleans a clock is merely an instrument,
But Time is a Place to be.

The Day the Music Died....
[ I originally posted this October 20th,2005, mere weeks after Katrina...after I had blogged all of the Katrian Devastation. It was reposted in January 10th,2006 after one of the King's shameless Jim Beam swaggered Visit. Impeach and Imprison remains my solution...]
I wrote this and called it" Why NOLA has to be Rebuilt". At the time on TV there were lots of Experts arguing about rebuilding NOLA, mostly the Business Sector. But I was concerned about it's Heart& Soul.....it's Culture, it's Way of Life. Now I just call it remembering NOLA, that is all I can call it. It is about What Katrina did to this country, it reminded us that Racism alive and well.
And that Poverty is not hidden, it next door, it is young and old, Black and White.It is about People, our People being Abandoned. We have been given a Wake Up Call.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lessons Unlearned....
It is now August 2008, and yet another Hurricane bears down on Louisianna, and this time there is more trouble on the Horizon. This time there is NO Dome of Horror to shelter 1000's, there is NO Shelter at all set up to shelter the People. The "Evacuation Orders" have been given, but this time the People have NoWhere To Go.....There are not enough Prayers.

MORE THOUGHTS ON THE CHOSEN ALASKA CHICK...AND THIS INVOLVES BUSH...READ ON...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So this has been bugging me ALL day..Something Stinks really really Stinks about the Choosing of Sarah Palin for VP...So here is the thing....the McCoot has only met her ONCE and spoken with her on the phone..and then thursday he met with her in Arizona and let her know she was "CHOSEN".....NOW I am going to point something strange out ....THE LAST Person to visit Alaska this month was NOT McCain it was BUSH....yes, it was his last stop before heading to Asia for the Olympics....NOW call me a suspicious person at this point ( aren't we all????).
WHY would he stop in Alaska ??? and WHY right before the Olympics..right before the little Georgia Wag the Dog Moment....the OMG the Return of the Cold War Moment...and then picks Ms Alaska gets selected...for VP- though NO ONE has vetted her or met her...this woman would be mere feet from the Power of Our Country....( It kind of reminds me of Harriet Miers and the Supreme Court Debacle).
SO WAS BUSH IN ALASKA CHOOSING THE VEEP??? AUGUST THIS YEAR THIS MONTH,( August 4th..Mere weeks ago) THE LAST STATE THAT BUSH WENT TO - THEN HE WENT ON TO THE OLYMPICS AND THEN VACATION....SOMETHING STINKS...
Old McCoot picked a sweet young thing.....Sarah Palin????( you gotta wonder, how many said NO)
This is such blatant Bad judgement, Is McCoot Insane ? So Much for the Maverick...this is as bad as when he offered his wife up at the Biker Rally.... I will liveblog the announcement in the thread? She has only been Governor 18 Monthes ? What the hell?? Former Beauty Queen ?? Mom of five- she just had a Down Syndrome Baby 5 monthes ago- WHO will be caring for the Special Needs Baby ? Should this Woman be the VP choice- she has NO Appropriate Experience for Leading Our Country. Think about this Folks, she would be responsible for our safety ??? Folks this is a Train Wreck ?
Can she carry the Gun Toting Christian Women ? ( Cuz sorry- the Military Repugs and the Redneck Repugs, even the Conservative Repugs are not going to support this ...)
And by the way she is being investigated for Possible Violations of her Position as Governor,before that she was a mayor of a small town of less than 9000 people ( yes, seriously). She belongs to the NRA, was a Beauty Queen ( who was disqualified for cheating) and then she also has been on the PTA, and is a mother of 5. ( Including a 5 month old Special Needs Baby with Downs Syndrome).I am sorry but she is not qualified for Head Dog Catcher, much less VEEP.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill Burton Issued a Statement from the Obama Campaign:
Barack Obama Campaign Spokesman Bill Burton responds to John McCain's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate:
"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies -- that's not the change we need, it's just more of the same."

Hurricane Gustav Gaining Speed and Strength, Click the Title, Weather Underground, Best Weather Updates Available
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We should keep an eye on Gustav- it is headed towards NOLA and the Gulf Coast according to the trajectory...And Ironically it is headed there right when the REPUGS have their Convention, I mention this because it will be hard for any of us or them to Forget Bush and the Katrina Failure if it hits next week at the Same Time.....and once again Bush and McCain would be Eating Cake Together?
(For three years I have used the Weather Underground Site to track ALL storms and weather. This site combines ALL data with Aerial and Sattelite imaging.By Sunday this storm should reach the Gulf....Guard in the Gulf are preparing and looking at Evacutations...or so we are told. Click the title or go to the Blogroll to see the Weather Underground...for more info).

UPDATE::: 2 PM Friday 8.29.08
It is still headed to the Gulf Coast, it should be a Cat3 by the time it hits the Gulf, this is so worrisome, the Levees have ONLY been upgraded to Cat 3 protection ( so they are not even tested or sure if the upgrades will hold under these kinds of Surges.)
It is now off Jamica, it is moving at 70MPH, there was damage in Jamica. Should be a CAT 2 when it hits Cayman Islands. Still a very wide Cone.

YES WE CAN....( because This Song will be Sung by 80,000 tonight at Mile High Stadium)
This song came out in the deepest of Winter, on a snowy February Morning...WillIAm wrote this song, but actually the words are Barack Obama, because the song is the Speech that was given in New Hampshire....it was a Speech that Changed Everything...it stirred minds and souls and Opened Hearts to the Possibility of a New Future...It is an Anthem for Change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LYRICS.............. ( which is the NH Obama Speech set to Music by WillI.Am...took all of 3 days to put together)
"It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
~~Yes we can~~
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
~~Yes we can~
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
~~Yes we can.~~
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
~~~~~~~Yes we can to justice and equality.
~~~~~~~Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
~~~~~~~Yes we can heal this nation.
~~~~~~~Yes we can repair this world.
~~~~~~~Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about Hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
~~~Yes. We. Can.~~~"

So Norah O'Donnell was interviewing Richard Dreyfuss yesterday afternoon, and it was supposed to be a chance to interact with a Star....she got more than she bargained for...Richard Spoke up and Spoke out about the Bush Administration Calling the Government as Exactly WHO and What they are- MUST SEE......4 Minutes of Smoking TRUTH....( video has been sputtery- try clicking the title or watching below).
Hillary's Big Moment when she came to the Floor to Suspend the Voting- very dramatic, and all class....and guts.
This was the moment when Hillary came to the Floor to suspend the Voting, to acclaim Obama the Nominee, she did this with great courage and strength, because we all know that this is the moment where she set her dream aside....I was very moved watching this...and she needed to do this for herself and for her supporters and for the party...

Wednesday , after Watching 2 Days of the Convention, Here are my Thoughts and it ain't so pretty.
"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." Thomas Paine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Convention needs to start remembering the Hardworking Hurting People of this Country are counting on them to Get this Right....There are alot of REAL People Issues I have barely heard Whispered, from 47 Million without Healthcare or Underinsured, to the Damn Illegal War, to the Broken Busted Economy , to Our Failed Schools to Crimes Committed in Our Name ( yes, GITMO and Torture)....and the Care of Our Elderly and Our Vets that is beyond Shame......AND Our Children's Futures Hang in the Balance....There are NO 2nd Chances....The Whole World is Watching.....
Okay ,so while the CottonCandied Brained Punditheads, handwring over the Clintons Dynasty and wax poetic clinging to a nostalgia in that delusional Get Granpa His slippers kind of way...we need to really Talk. ( And People ask WHY I watch so MUCH CSpan, I think this week proves WHY, if it was not for Keith and Rachel and the Daily Show I would have Elvised my TV by now ). I have spent the past two days watching this Convention, I watch it because We Got Trouble Folks BIG TROUBLE.....I don't watch because this is a DEM LoveFest or because we have a Damn Thing to Be Proud of Right Here Right Now...Sending anyone out in a $3000 Prada Suit is not going to Sooth my troubled Soul, I have watched a good bit of Bad Dancing to Bad Music from the Disco Era, and it occurs to me that maybe these Folks have Forgotten WHY they are there ? Have they actually forgotten about this Criminal Titannical Administration and the Hell they have Inflicted on Everyone in this Country and OTHER Countries ? Are they Dancing With Delusions Too ?
Have they Forgotten WHY we NEED Change ? Well, Here let me Tell You WHY we NEED Change...See the Punditheads keep saying well, "The Dems better define WHY we need Change and HOW they are going to Bring it about". That WHOLE Argument is Wrong.....ALL they have to do instead of Listening to Crappy 80's Music is Watch Videos ABOUT the 8 years of BUSH HELL....And then there would be NO Questions About WHY we need Obama. It ain't Rocket Science or any kind of PR Konodrum, unless you have Severe Memory Damage.....We don't Need any more Poetic Patriotic KumbaYa Pandering we NEED Reality- WE THE PEOPLE are running out of Time......
Okay....so that being said. I have some Important Videos below to Watch and review WHY we need CHANGE, do watch the Kucinich that the MSM did Not Show and also Cecile Richards....and then in the Posts below I have posted the MAIN Important Speeches from this Convention So Far (even Kucinich and Richards)..But here on this post I have posted Some Other Educational Videos that they should run at the Convention.....And it would not cost them a Cent...But it would Wake them up and give them a Reality Check....We need Change, because We Got Trouble...BIG TROUBLE and will only get worse under More McBush . Kucinich Got it Right WAKE UP AMERICA !!!

One of the Great Speeches at the DNC that got missed by MSM , Cecile Richards Speaks ( cspan )
Cecile Richards , President of Planned Parenthood, and yes, Ann Richards Daughter gave one of the Best Speeches at the DNC on Tuesday Night, and No One knew about it....From Cspan...She Rocks and tells WHY we don't need McCain..
THE LION ROARS AGAIN....TEDDY KENNEDY'S AMAZING SPEECH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
originally posted August 26th Eve
Hillary's Speech:" No Way, No How, No McCain"......video below.
I know I have not always been kind to Hillary, and that my patience ran thin. I thought her speech was good, that it struck the right note and encouraged people to remember that they are Democrats...and that if they believed in her they need to believe now that we need a Democrat in the WhiteHouse again...To be honest it is the PUMA's that drive me up the wall- I mean she is basically begging them to do the right thing.....
She is a strong speaker and better than anyone else tonight,...( and yes Warner Sucked...really)....Maria also has Celine Richards speech - Ann Richards daughter- she really gave a good speech...

HOLY CRAP- HUGE TORNADO ON GROUND IN DENVER ( SIGNS FROM GOD? THAT WE BETTER GET THIS RIGHT ??EH?)TURN ON CNN....
8PM...TURN ON CNN MASSIVE TORNADO...no word on damages etc...it wandered around for about an hour...
A Story and a Song....or How Randy Newman Stopped a Riot on a Snowy Night....
The Story Behind the Song....
I was telling my son about Baltimore, I have many stories from that era of my life....and I was telling him about my First Randy Newman Concert. It was winter,many years ago and it was bitter cold and snowing....It was in an old Dance Hall, and people showed up mostly for the Main Act which was the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Now This was the same year that "Short People" came out and believe it or not Little People would come and protest at Randy's Concerts.
So outside waiting in the snowstorm was the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Fans ( alot of Bikers ) and then the Protesting Midgets and Dwarves. And I am not sure why, but they were not getting along.So then the Parrotheads arrived, somehow they were there to see both bands. So they were in their Full Margauritaville Gear with Hawaii Shirts and funny hats. So The Management let all of us in. I was with my sister who was in a DISCO phase and really pissed at me for dragging her to "this dumass circus of a concert". There I sat in my Hippy gear, patched jeans , Indian top, and 2nd hand coat and clogs smoking clove cigarettes. It was not a Sisterly loving event. ( I invited her because her date cancelled and I had an extra ticket.)
So the Dance Hall is packed every old battered wooden theater seat is full and Everyone has made their way in, the Pissed Off Little People, the Rowdy Bikers, and the Parrotheads.... So the waiting begins.
Well, it turns out that the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was not coming...and would not be coming. And that supposedly their Bus had broken down somewhere. Now the Audience had to be told this....So there are Pissed off Little People marching up and down the aisles, and then now the Bikers were about to be given a bad blow. So a little tiny wisp of a man came out to deliver the bad news....
" I have some troubling news, I am not sure when or if the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is coming. But if you want to wait for them, because they had some bus trouble, then I am sure they will be here when Randy Finishes playing, Maybe"
His voice cracked and rose off and on, sweat ran down his pinched little face. By the time he was done the Burly Bikers were on their feet yelling and fists waving " We want our Godamn Money Back NOW !!!!
Meanwhile the Parrotheads have all settled in to watch the show- and are getting stoned and blowing up HUGE Beachballs and bouncing them around the audience. Meanwhile the angry little people are still stomping around the aisles.And the Bikers are now stamping their feet and Yelling and getting ready to Break Something.
My sister sitting there in her leather pants and her Donna Summer tube top was looking disgusted, and " I wish I was anywhere else!!". Someone handed her a Flask and told her " Here Darlin' have some Courage", She mellowed considerably.
And while the Tension rose and the Noise got louder, the Little Man on the stage said, "Without Further ado- I give you Randy Newman".......
So out comes Randy, still putting on his jacket, looking a bit rumpled like he just fell off the bus....He quickly gauged the room... and came out on stage and sat at the Piano and started talking....as soothing as a Fine Southern Gentleman , telling the Bikers not to worry that he would keep them happy until The Band arrived, and apologizing to the Little People, and even making nice jokes about his gratitude to the Mysterious Parrotheads and their doobies and beach balls. ( No one was even sure why they were there...). He had a rambling style like a traveling Medicine Man offering some sweet bottled Sunshine and promises out the back of a wagon as he stroked the piano keys.
He sang it all Blues, Ray Charles, Some Jimmy Buffet, and some Willie Nelson.....all of it...He used his music to make peace that snowy night.....
And this Song was how he began his show....".Baltimore"....a much longer version....
And no the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band never showed....but 20 minutes into Randy telling stories and singing songs Something Wonderful happened.....
I am asking you to visit Utah Savage...bring flowers and hugs and good thoughts.....
she is having a hard time right now..so please much TLC....She is a lovely soul...and such a writer...she needs our Light and Love...gentle support.....You know what to do....( Click the song for a song for Utah....Holdon Hold On ~Neko Case)
Sunday::Checking the Papers, Burnt Pancakes, and Green Tea Frappacinos.....
I will do what I do every Sunday...Check the Papers, clean and sweep and change the kitty boxes.Except this Sunday I will be checking the Reaction to Biden being Chosen....And yes, I will be making some pancakes, and maybe get a Frappacino later ( after I pay Bills- the reward). It is too hot here to want to do much else., at this rate I could flip pancakes on my front walk..and later will be the Olympic Closing Ceremonies. ( I am glad that they are ending, and no I did not like how NBC did them, I love Bob Costas, but the sheer scheduling nightmare was ludicrous).
And down below...More snippets of news...and a Ladies Blog Round Up...and because we know the Fellas are Mad about us...
the music is Belinda Carlisle " Mad About You"....
Scroll Down....there is more to ponder....McMansion and more....and the DNC Convention Schedule....A Good Story..."Tank Man"...and odds and ends....
The Story of "TANK MAN" , When I see Bejjing I still remember this Courageous Man,....
Video made with the Stroy of the Tank Man , and the 1989 Uprising, The Peaceful Battle for Democracy that fateful June....If you click the title , that will take you to a full video series, a Documentary on the Uprising and explain in detail the Courage of the Students and Tank Man that Summer....and the Courage of Tank Man. It is disputed how many tanks there were that day 18-21....he indeed stood up to an Army.
Anthony Bourdain and the Egyptian Breakfast.....
This Monday Anthony Bourdain goes to Egypt, remember that this show weaves Culture and the Stories and the History with the Food. I have also noticed that Tony is also weaving social and cultural issues into the episodes ( do watch the Mexico Episode where immigration issues are explored). In even this Breakfast clip he explores the Cost of Food worldwide and the fallout effects that are happening.....Beans and Rice and Soybean and wheat and other grains are skyrocketing...and it is effecting all cultures...
( Most of his shows or parts of his shows are on Youtube, the Beirut Episode is also astounding and the entire episode is on Youtube).

US Forces FREE AP Camera Man in Iraq ( Held for 2 Monthes)
Freedom of Speech ???? WHY don't we get Good reporting from Iraq ? is this WHY? He was "detained" for 3 monthes with NO charges.....
THINK THAT MCGRAMPS DOES NOT WANT A DRAFT? READ THIS FROM HIS OWN WEBSITE....HE DOES INDEED WANT THE BIGGEST MILITARY EVER....
From McCain's OWN website:::::
John McCain is committed to ensuring that the men and women of our military remain the best, most capable fighting force on Earth - and that our nation honors its promises to them for their service.
The global war on terrorism, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, threats from rogue states like Iran and North Korea, and the rise of potential strategic competitors like China and Russia mean that America requires a larger and more capable military to protect our country's vital interests and deter challenges to our security. America confronts a range of serious security challenges: Protecting our homeland in an age of global terrorism and Islamist extremism; working with friends and partners overseas, from Africa to Southeast Asia, to help them combat terrorism and violent insurgencies in their own countries; defending against missile and nuclear attack; maintaining the credibility of our defense commitments to our allies; and waging difficult counterinsurgency campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.
John McCain understands national security and the threats facing our nation. He recognizes the dangers posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, violent Islamist extremists and their terrorist tactics, and the ever present threat of regional conflict that can spill into broader wars that endanger allies and destabilize areas of the world vital to American security. He knows that to protect our homeland, our interests, and our values - and to keep the peace - America must have the best-manned, best-equipped, and best-supported military in the world.
John McCain has been a tireless advocate of our military and ensuring that our forces are properly postured, funded, and ready to meet the nation's obligations both at home and abroad. He has fought to modernize our forces, to ensure that America maintains and expands its technological edge against any potential adversary, and to see that our forces are capable and ready to undertake the variety of missions necessary to meet national security objectives.
As President, John McCain will strengthen the military, shore up our alliances, and ensure that the nation is capable of protecting the homeland, deterring potential military challenges, responding to any crisis that endangers American security, and prevailing in any conflict we are forced to fight

So I told 6-6 , because he was still up ( hey ,it's hot here in Ctown tonight- not good sleep weather). And we both stayed up watching the Olympics....So he said " Nooooooo, Really ?!! Wow, this will be better than Christmas, they will be fighting like Cats and dogs- Willard and Granpa McMansion.....holy crap".....( Sorry but teens always get it right). I look at them together- and all I see is a pissed off Walmart Greeter and a used car Salesman....( and you all wonder why I have heartburn).So Willard and Granpa- Let's get those Damn Debates started and we can See WHO is More "Elite " Now.....

Micheal Moore's New Documentary "Trouble The Water" opens Today
Micheal Moore's New Documentary is not just about Katrina, it is about America.....It Opens today Nationwide, and if you click the Title, it takes you to the Nationwide Theater List.to say it looks haunting would be an understatement. Bloggers should promote this film, as most of us did cover and still cover this American Debacle.
( Book to read this month "The Great Deluge" by Douglas Brinkley gives a chilling History of that Disaster in 2005, and why Nothing has healed).

Then It Was Thursday....
On the porch...Let's talk...I will share my Sun Tea...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am working on Silent Fallout & Watery Lies today..sitting on the porch,...eat peaches and edit...and take a Break from the Other Research ( yeah the MOVE research)....because I have some Other Things on my mind...
I am also really thinking really hard about the Polls and Obama...I think Something Is Funny, like Cooked...I mean I do not know a soul that is voting for McCoot, and there are NO signs or stickers here.NONE ...and I am in the Heartland of Ohio...and also when he comes here ( which he does like every other week,they can barely fill his Invite ONLY Venues, less than 400 people at a time, and NO lines, and he limits and controls the Press coverage and interaction here.) And yeah..down below also some illuminating McCoot Information that the Media has failed AGAIN to report....
We Need to Fight Back Folks......
And yeah...6-6 is right Beatles knew how to fight back best...so the song today is " Revolution"...it is up to us as parents to join with our kids and stop McCoot the Warmonger and get the Whitehouse out of the Rethug hands once and for all....MSM won't help us, we as Bloggers have to do This OurSelves....We have Journalistic Integrity, we are Not Propaganda Tools with a McManCrush.....

Originally posted 8.18.08...NOW McCain says he does NOT remember HOW MANY Homes he has ???So he is either a Liar or senile ????
FROM MOJO'S BLOG ABOUT THEIR WEALTH AND MANSIONS:
( more spent on THE HELP than given to charities....lovely)
"McCain's Houses: The Gift that Keeps on Giving
The McCains spend more each year on house staff ($273,000), than the average American's home is worth ($266,000).
Update: McCain isn't commenting on this story. But that doesn't mean he's not out and about!
McCain, who huddled with advisors at his desert compound in Sedona, Ariz., said nothing in public. A nine-car motorcade took him to a nearby Starbucks early in the morning, where he ordered a large cappuccino. McCain otherwise avoided reporters.

Rep.Stephanie Tubbs Jones died this evening from a Brain Aneurysm, The Music tonight is dedicated to her and her 28 years of Service
I have only been here for 2 years, and don't fully understand Ohio Politics ( which tends to be messy...and confusing). But I was very impressed with her and her 28 years of service to this State and this Community. She was too young, and died so fast from a massive Brain Aneurysm, she was on live support for about 18 hours and her organs were donated per her wishes. Condolences and prayers to her son, family and friends.
