How the Wizard of Oz freaked out a nation of ...

Try to explain this movies to kids from another culture/country. How the flying monkeys freaked out generations of little kids-terror at being picked off in the night from the darkened skies. How the witches evil laugh rang through the ears of thousands of kids-identifying with that one aunt, teacher or evil neighbor lady who hated the dog.

How even the munchkins-had an aura of danger to them-most terrifying? The lollipop boys with their man voices and grown up scowls.

The Wizard of Oz is an American classic which depicts all the linear lines of good and evil for American culture. No sneakiness. No subtle acts-outright evil and bursting forth with righteousness.

It's no wonder we are so screwed up. lol

Pratibha Patil-Remember this name

NEW DELHI, July 21 (AP) — India selected its first female president on Saturday, winning a vote seen as a symbolic victory for women contending with widespread discrimination.
Pratibha Patil, 72, won almost two-thirds of the votes cast by national lawmakers and state legislators. She had the support of the governing Congress Party and its political allies, and had been widely expected to win. The election of a woman to the office, which is mostly ceremonial, continues an Indian tradition of using the presidency to give a high-profile voice to disadvantaged groups.

Wasn't this a part of our platform as a democracy? I thought the true measure of a society was how they cared for the most vulnerable of their people?

Cheney takes over while Bush gets it in the end...

Isn't this a frightening thought? Who knows what laws Cheney aka Dungeon and Dragons Master conjured up while we were sleeping and the doctors were finally probing the one place we all told them to look in years ago..


CAMP DAVID, Md. (AP) -- Doctors removed five small polyps from President Bush's colon on Saturday after he temporarily transferred the powers of his office for two hours to Vice President Dick Cheney under the rarely invoked 25th Amendment

Another, "Get a life moment" from the media frenzy..

Harry Potter is definitely cool-but hey, let's get some lives here...we are so obsessed by the, "I'll wait in line for hours to be first narcissism " I want to vomit.
Let's get real folks, it's a fricking book which will be on the bookshelves for the next fifty years. Who cares if you got it first..get a clue...

Fox Wonders if Women with "Axes to Grind" Can "Effectively Rule Society"

Kind of makes you wonder -as Fox conjures up the image of Lizzie Borden...

Introduced in 1888, the right to vote by women was sandbagged for the next forty years. It wasn't until 1920 that women got the right to vote.

Let's see....I was born in 1953-that makes the concept of women voting only 33 years old when I was born. 33 years.

Let's think about today. With men running the country we have all but lost the right to make decisions about our bodies-we are in a war no one in their right mind would have declared("right mind" get it?) We have an economy run by the elite rich-welfare reform has taken away the safety net for poor women-universal health care is nonexistent in this country-dental care is even less accessable to our babies-

and Fox wants to know if the country can be won by a woman with an ax to grind?

I say-you go girl, Hilary-you go girl-grind that axe for all our babies sent to a war we don't want, all our kids with abscessed teeth and nowhere to go-all the singles mothers and women making less than equal pay for the same job -you grind that axe.

Thirty three years. Pretty amazing. Black men had the vote before women did. In fact, every man did-which tells the story of the incompetence men have used to fuck up the country-

other countries have had female leaders for years. We can't even fart out a female vice president.

Go ahead, Fox-piss us off-there are a lot of women out there-go ahead and piss us off--

Bill O'Reilly the media dork....watch him fall...

Bill O'Reilly, I watch with great pleasure, like any nornal American who likes to gloat, at the beginnings of your demise. I am filled with unadulterated glee!!

Just for fun I thought I would print some of your more inane quotes about the war-while watching you try and spin your twaddle and try and reverse your stance on it this weekend.

Oh Lord, let this happen in full print, without mercy, in living color!

"If I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, 'Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead. And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.'" --after San Francisco voted to ban military recruiters from city schools, Nov. 8, 2005

"If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush Administration again, all right?" -on finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, March 18, 2003 (Source)

"I will bet you the best dinner in the gaslight district of San Diego that military action will not last more than a week. Are you willing to take that wager?" (Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, 1/29/03)

Couldn't resist this last one...

Well, the hot story of the week is victory.... The Tommy Franks-Don Rumsfeld battle plan, war plan, worked brilliantly, a three-week war with mercifully few American deaths or Iraqi civilian deaths.... There is a lot of work yet to do, but all the naysayers have been humiliated so far.... The final word on this is, hooray." (Fox News Channel's Morton Kondracke, 4/12/03)

Oh Gawd What I'd give to be organized....

Do either of these look familiar to you? Oh what I'd give to know the bliss of neatness! Organization is like a foreign language to some of us. What to throw out? Oh, what to discard? Last night as I went through my purse, I piled the "keepers" on one side of the counter and the "maybe throw it out stuff" next to it.

Sad to say, aside from the bank cards, the lipstick tube and the change, both piles looked pretty much the same...

Scraps of papers with phone numbers, bill receipts, wilted band aids, a few pens that might work, moisturizer in a little tube, more scraps of paper with phone numbers and names of people I can't remember but better to hang onto-what a sad little display of my inner disorganized brain.

Even scarier? People who are too neat frighten me. If the wallet keeps the skeletal remains of a man's life and looking into that chasm of organized neatness tells me -here is a real possibility of minimal emotional response.

Meaning, if the man's wallet is so neat as to leave little to tell me about his life-it may be that is all there is to him-ditto for a woman.

Yes, I am organizationally challenged-but only where others can't see it.

I still know what appropriate behavior is called for to impress the sane and the organized.

Sigh. It's just never going to me...
