Rantings of a MAD Woman

Did it REALLY happen? Is That Cabal of psychopathic neo-cons REALLY GONE?

I watched as Bush smirked through Obama's speech; as he gave one final attempt to scam the few fools still listening; and as he flew out waving...

The crowd slowly building into song....there were 1.8 million voices out there...hopes high; trying to believe that it is all over....

But it isn't over....not by a long shot   Read More »

The McCain Campaign is out answering the internet blogosphere again.

A continuation of the policy of smoke and mirrors...

"SO, Mr. McCain, what about the Economy?"

  "uh, uh, HEY! Look over here...Obama stubbed his toe and he didn't bleed - proves he's a vampire!!!
Afterall,we knew he had to be...

The Fools on the Hill......

I love that those all-knowing Grand Wizards of all things important, sitting on the Hill in D.C., are JUST figuring out what many have known for 10 friggin' years.
The so-called housing bubble, that churn and burn growth of a market based on air, was the ONLY thing propping up an economy that has needed to do an adjustment since 1998; Staved off by the Republicans in their bids to keep the sleazy corporatists going without oversight.....

UNFETTERED GROWTH without any natural controls is called CANCER....

Of late, it appears the Democratic Party has been falling all over themselves to prevent themselves from appearing insensitive to that little woman from Alaska....
Fear of sexism, fear of appearing to beat up on the poor little lady....
The poor little Sarah, that sweet lil' thang.....that fighter for femininity and the rights of women everywhere in a sea of male domination....
Claiming the title of Feminist and the woman that will pick up the mantle dropped by Hillary so she can blast through that glass ceiling   Read More »
What a week it was...a week of dreams rotting...of blood...of gasping rails of a dying nation........
An open letter to Nancy Pelosi:
To Nancy Pelosi:

TIME to leave your position in disgrace - YOU are a disgrace to your office and your gender. You were the FIRST to break that glass ceiling and you have become a joke. A sad, cruel joke for those of us who had so much hope.
A change that was to be brought in with the election of 2006
But that all changed. We hear it over and over and over again. Any challenge to the cruelties, the evils, the horrors brought by this administration is met with the same standard; Any response or action that is morally correct or ethically right. You take it "off the table" or it is "not an option".   Read More »
To the chagrin of fat Tony Scalia, the Constitution stayed on life support today! BARELY....How come they want to keep Terry Schiavo on life support when her brain is mush but the Constitution....."Hell no, kill her....Pull the plug!"   Read More »

5 more died today....5 gone with a suicide bomber - 5 that should have never been away from their homes; 5 who should have been dreaming of lovers and fun and getting resdy for that hot date...Awaiting Spring with anticipation of warmth and sun and the end of the cold
5 that had to grow up too fast to die so young
5 that should have had entire lifetimes ahead of them instead of the ferryman on the river - I wonder if they were given enough coins or would they be doomed to wander in the twilight?
5 who had the misfortune to be over the age of 17 by 2003 - 5 who had the misfortune to be the post-born   Read More »
A New Year and a message for Mark Udal, the man asking to be YOUR NEW (OLD) senator
MR UDALL
You are purposely misleading your constituents in your statements about your position on the war on Iraq - you are for "responsible redeployment"? I submit you are for redeployment ONLY if it makes YOU look good

After my long hiatus from the world of internet bitching - an involuntary but much needed and self-imposed exile from newspapers, talk shows, televison,  and internet based current event sites.....after this long rest from most things politically active, I reintroduced myself to some of my old haunts, my now new haunts and other information sources to just check up on what I missed.

“NEWS” – NEWS – new?  Is there anything New?  Anything NEWS? what's changed? Any new revelations?  New ideas? New, News?

Santa Anas blow from east to west and after El Nino, they tend to line up a bit strongly as they race through the canyons - Hell unleashes its fury on the land of Torrey Pines and surfers...............
Unleashed and certainly not giving in to the firefighters....
They don't care if you are in "The Ranch" or on the Beach, if your house is multi-millions or a shack in OB - the fire is an equal opportunity destroyer.....

I watch in horror as I see my friend's house burn in Rancho Bernardo; as I hear the areas of my home vacated - Eucalyptus exploding in Scripp's; Torrey's blazing down the 5 and along the 56. Marching to the ocean..
Wondering if friends got out.... if their children got out..... If my favorite places scorched.....   Read More »
My friend, a very proud Mama, sent over a note forwarding an email from the IAVA

My friend, whose son is caught in the hell of service who has spent his days "in country" putting those warriors back together so they could be sent back out to be shattered again so he could put them back together so they could be sent back out to be shattered again...There's just so much super glue, ya know?

Those warriors, young children actually, with eyes filled with age and pain and suffering - seeing more than we can even fathom.

My friend, whose son is fighting a second war - the war to end the war; The war that was started for greed and hubris - the war of lies and spineless ego of a creature who sits atop a hill and plays war games with his toys on a table, not caring that those toys on the table represent REAL, living breathing and bleeding youths who should be home with their girlfriends and boyfriends...planning that date on Saturday night

My friend, whose son is fighting a third war - the war to protect those who have fought and fallen...those who are hurt and injured and lost....trying to make them whole again but the money to provide their care isn't there.....

Now who is supporting the troops?

The people on the hill playing politics and espousing their patriotism as they pass more bills to spend billions of dollars for war machines that get lost or stolen and put off spending to treat those who must receive care after they have fought and fallen?

OR the son of my friend fighting his three wars?   Read More »
On November 4, 2006, I worked my final 5 hours (out of a 25 hour run in 4 days on tip of 10 hour work days) on the final "Call for Change" with thousands of other dedicated MOVEON.ORG members encouraging people to get out and vote. As a group in the final 4 days of the election, we made 7 million + calls to voters in states where there was a democrat challenging a conservative Republican for a House or Senate seat.
Our reasons:

The Iraq War - we were promised by the Dems they would get us out and bring our troops home
Healthcare - we were promised they would get us a better system enabling the middle class and the poor to get health benefits.
Environment - Another promise to work on the issue of Global Warming and assist in getting us away from oil dependence
Restoring Democracy - Probably one of the most important issues of this century -return the Constitution to the citizens. Give us back our rights and PROTECT AND DEFEND HER from enemies without and within.

How are we doing so far folks?   Read More »
Reality Check.....March 2003 - Georgie Porgie had to go defend his Daddy! Had to go seize the California Bubbly of all oils under the sands of the middle East...How dare those people live above OUR OIL!?! We had to move the little pests off the sands like so many fleas from a pelt, mites from a leaf.....   Read More »

So Georgie Porgie has to find a new Leader of Corruption, someone to spend the next 16-17 months finding the loopholes or drilling them in the Constitution….A Man to slither and skulk his ways around the Legal system…to replace Gonzales the Grotesque

And Bushie Boy comes on to tell the American people that after “unfair treatment”  our poor little abused, misunderstood, little Gonzo-boy had to run away and lick his wounds after being “dragged through the mud” (I don’t think we had to drag him, He was wallowing in the excrement of humanity already…mud would have been an IMPROVEMENT!)

July 17, 2007, a Hot Summer Tuesday...A day like so many others when the boys and girls in uniform play dodge'em with IEDS, live ammo and grenades on the streets of Baghdad And the Brat who would be King awakens from his summer sleep - preparing to sign another Executive Order - His pen like a chisel, chipping away at the very foundation of this nation!
