| | No further aid for Myanmar until they let us in. If even then! | | I see no reason why the U.S. who has hundreds of thousands of poor, and hungry people on it's own streets every single day, and which is currently being sucked dry by the twin cutpurses of an ill thought out war, and the astronomical costs of gasoline right now, should be pouring millions of dollars (borrowed I am certain) oout of our pockets to send aid to the disaster victims over there. We just sent them millions of dollars worth of food and supplies and what happens? It is seized by the local warlords who say they are not "ready" to let the U.S. in to provide the aid to the people.
I will just about guarantee you that thousands of people over there, who really did need the food that we sent, are about to starve to death, because not a piece of The Purloined food will be distributed to the people who are in such desperate need. Instead I believe that that food will be hoarded by those officials and their friends against their own possible future hunger, with absolutely no regard for the needs of the people. This just makes me sick! I can think of 200 thousand better ways to invest our money in us rather than in some foreign country that is... | |

Police then returned with a drug warrant and found six cannabis plants growing hydroponically in two rooms of the house,” Abbott said.The homeowner was charged with cultivating marijuana plants for sale. | |
| | Now they're conspiring against me! (FREE TO GOOD HOME!) | | I have posted a discussion in the past about my cat Puffy and opening drawers (link below). Now the story has a new twist!Puffy, Lord Greything, has discovered the bread drawer. He has opened it several nights in a row. This morning, Larry, the dog in my avatar now, decided to take advantage of the situation. Puffy isn't tall enough to reach into the drawer and pull things out. Larry certainly is, and he did. Once our Basset Hound, Sophie, heard the commotion, she came running out and took Larry's purloined potato bread from him, so he reached back in and helped himself to some croissants, then some cookies, then some moldy hotdog rolls left over from the holiday.Guess who didn't get any breakfast this morning?I would love to beat all three of their butts, but it wouldn't do any good. Guess I need to go buy some babylocks for the bread drawer now! Link to discussion with picture of Puffy, Lord Greything:

| | movie plot | | "National Treasure" is the sort of family-friendly contraption where smart people do a lot of stupid things in the service of entertainment. The minute Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger), the lass from the National Archives, snatches back the Declaration of Independence from Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), the man who purloined it, the dastardly Ian Howe (Sean Bean) and his crew pull up and seize her and the document. So naturally she winds up swinging off the side of a speeding van.
You see, there might be an invisible map on the back of the Declaration that holds the key to lots of ancient booty. "National Treasure" presents this pursuit and the characters' evasion of the FBI (embodied by Harvey Keitel, who seems to have moseyed over here from his identical assignment in "Thelma & Louise") as a bruising US history class, taught in Dolby Surround. | |
