Any other man on any other street could have wrecked his car in the middle of the night, the police would not have investigated too much, the guy would have received a fine, his medical records would have been released, but his life would not have been put under a microscope; leave Tiger alone.

You really have to feel for this man because his whole world is crumbling around him and everyone seems to be savoring every tidbit that comes out of the news about his adultery–no other man has done that, huh–his wife, and even when his mother-in-law went to the hospital they were speculating on who the mysterious woman might have been. I do not truly know what he is guilty of or what he is not, because every hooker that might have mistaken a well dressed pro-athlete for Mr. Woods is claiming to have had an affair with him.

There’s speculation that Nike will drop their contract with him, Buick won’t ask him to represent them anymore, and for what, adultery? Come on, I just saw a commercial for some mobile phone that features Mrs. Clause in bed with a “Frosty-like” snowman, who gets melted when Santa returns early. The M & M’s gang is drooling over an overtly sexy, sleazily posed female M & M, and Nike is worried about image? If you can serve your 3-year-old M & M’s after the holiday commercials, then leave Mr. Woods alone.

His image has been squeaky clean, his demeanor admirable, and his talent unquestioned, until he hit a tree and a fire hydrant. Now, “good grief” we find out he’s human and there are few mothers in America who have not gone through a situation similar to this one with their sons, and most would still love to have given birth to this young man. Leave him and his family alone so that they can find out what is real, what will save their home, their marriage, their partnership in life. Just butt out of his life and let the chips fall.

When Jimmy Carter’s four long years were up, I thought ‘well, we’re finally rid of the most embarrassing president of our time, now we can move on.’ I was wrong; the most embarrassing man to ever take the oath of President of the United States is the sitting president, the One, and God willing, the only Barack Hussein Obama.

His inexperience concerned me most when he took office, but that was a short lived worry as he began to go about the world insulting allies, and making confidants of thuggie-dictators. His apologies, bowing and scraping, and religious insults, only heightened the fears that this man’s inexperience would come to be the least of our worries. As the months have passed, his ego has not allowed him to understand that the Russians were playing he and Clinton for fools, Ahmadinejad thought him a fool from their first meeting, and the Israelis-allies for as long as I can remember life-have become the scapegoats for the supposedly oppressed Palestinians and the damage done the Israelis has been done by a sitting American president. Shame on the ego-riddled ignorant slob of a soulless bit of flesh for having thought the American people so gullible as to pass over his disregard for our country. Shame on him for having taken a hearty dump all over our allies. Shame on him and the democrats for having played the race card as an illogical rebuttal to the voices of Americans and their opposition to his ideology.

It cannot get worse, we are the laughing stock of the world and there is no one left to defend the rights and decent treatment of the truly oppressed and denied. There is no country that will arrive to aid a helpless hopeless cause in Europe, Central America, South America, or any other den where any evil might rear it’s head. Far from being some evil oppressive force, the United States has been the answer to the call of evil and demonic fascism the world over. We are not what this man has unabashedly made us out to be in the forums of the world court, but we are a proud race of people who deserve much better than this wimpy, self-centered dog of a man. Shame on us, if we do not put this man out of office and find someone who might be able to repair the damage done before our country ranks highest among third world disgrace.

If you go out and buy a cow-okay, you do have to go to auction but it’s a small price to pay-then you take it home it will eat and give you milk. The government, on the other hand and in particular congress, is bought at our expense by lobbyist with less-than honest agendas. So, buy a cow.

Last week was a horrible week, especially for those in Texas. The shootings at Fort Hood, the copycat shootings in Florida, and we lost a friend in an accident that can only be categorized as stupid and unforgivable. Sunday, a week ago, my husband bowled the luckiest game any bowler can ever wish for, and on Thursday evening a man who has always had a smile for everyone, also bowled a 300 game. He and his nephew chose to celebrate at a local club and around 2 in the morning the celebration ended with his death and the arrest of his nephew. It’s hard to conceive that a man can bowl the luckiest game of a bowler’s life and die in one of the unluckiest ways, but it happens when you mix alcohol and a vehicle. Because things are what they are in the world today, workforce wise, my husband and I will not be able to make it to his funeral this afternoon but we will miss his smile, his mild manner, and his bowling.

There are two things that I will never understand in this life; how the government can call itself a democracy and ignore the wishes and needs of it’s constituency, and why people do not decide to go home to celebrate a truly great event. I certainly do not understand Obama’s wish to put off the investigation of the shootings at Fort Hood, or why he wants to try the terrorist who murdered so many in a federal court as opposed to military court. I don’t understand why he chooses to give them the opportunity to walk away from murdering almost 3 thousand people…much of what is being done today, I do not understand. But, we need more cows and milk in government and less bull sh*t. We need laws that will make it mandatory for bartenders to call a cab for those who have had too much to drink, because without a law the customer is free to walk out the door. And, and this is the big one, we need our government to start putting the people first and the interest of lobbyist last.

Buy a cow and ride it home from the bar. Fire the politicians and hire men who have some interest in keeping this country free.

To those not old enough to remember the wall that stood as a divider between families and a country, it probably does seem significant that one man saw the wall for what it was; a tragic reminder that where socialism, communism, and fascism live, no family unit is safe. That was the Berlin Wall.

Imagine if you will, that your mother lives two blocks away but you cannot visit here because there is a wall standing only a block away. A wall that you cannot cross without proper authorization, and within a set time limit; sometimes the authorization would not come in time to see a loved one before they died. It stood as a symbol of the paranoia that one country felt threatened their superiority and governance. It separated mother from son and father from daughter, and even husbands from wives. It was a weapon of the treachery of those in power to stem any dissent against the newly established borders between Heaven and Hell in Germany.

You may idolize socialism as evener of men and families, but socialism always leads to communism and communism is just one facet of the fascism that has imprisoned so many souls.

There has been nothing funny about the last two days, and with the new unemployment numbers, it may get worse.

We don’t really know, any of us, why someone snaps and turns lose their rage on the people around them or an ex-employer, but it’s certain that this year has spawned a too many deaths. Most marriages come to an end over financial troubles, a good many suicides are reported when job loses are high, and people that have difficulty handling the world-when things are good-tend to turn to violence when things get bad. The man who killed and maimed so many at Fort Hood, yesterday, was said to be angry over deployment to the Middle-East, and angry with Obama over his failure to pull the men out of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. It appears, with what is known, that the man in Orlando was an ex-employ. Whatever the case, yours or a friend, the answer to any bad situation is never a gun.

Get counseling, get help, but do not pick up a gun to solve a problem. Too few of the moments meant to give a person their 15-minutes of fame, are things that your mother, father, brothers, and sisters, will be able to point to and say, “That was my family member.” Your actions don’t just punish you; they punish those who love you.

For information and coverage of the Orlando situation, turn to Fox News or their web site.

Fox News: 1:20 p.m. The shooter has been arrested.

Okay, I do not care who you are; you’re not eating my cat. If you’re starving, I suggest Burger King-possibly you will eat an exotic hamburger of Kangaroo, but you’re not eating my cat.

Brenda and Robert Vale of New Zealand have studied the carbon emissions of pets and decided that we need to start eating the common “garden variety” cat, dog, and guinea pig? We have eaten deer that tasted like sage, fish that had a whang that could have been the result of mercury, and rabbit…don’t even ask, but my cat, dog, or if I had one, the guinea pig…not going to happen! There are nations of people that do eat dogs and cats; however, given the other available stock of meats and food sources, these people probably feel they have no choice. Not too many years ago, it was suggested that eating Mickey Mouse-taste like chicken-could supply a plentiful and alternative meat source. Even if rats tasted like roast beef, there would still be a great deal of hesitation on the part of most Americans to dive-in and eat a hearty rat burger, so the idea of eating one’s own pet…that’s not happening either.

The three things we know about our cat, he sleeps most of the time, he occasionally pukes due to eating too quickly, and his litter box works overtime. He doesn’t like people and that, I dare say, would not improve if he were living in fear of becoming the next meal. He has great long hair-the hairballs are another source of constant irritation around here-and he is not overly clean, although he constantly cleans himself between eating and sleeping. There is nothing that would make me look at this cat and think ‘gee, he might go well with beans and potato salad.’ And the dog, well, that’s another kettle of unclean fish altogether. He lives outside because he is too big, too nasty, and not a very bright fellow, but he does have a loveable nature about him. Eat him; forget about it, he doesn’t even smell appealing.

I’m afraid while some might be considering the delicacies of Kitty Fritters, Dog-Nuts, and Guinea Pig Pie, we will stick to the old standbys; the cow, the chicken, the fish, and the piggies. Given the choice between eating my cat or milkweed, the milkweed sounds great. We’ll just dash a bit of pepper juice on the stuff and hope the paramedics come to our rescue in good time.

The election results were not just a referendum on Obama and the Democrats, they were the people striking back at the government the only way they can in a peaceful fashion; by voting the corruption and spending out of their states. The congress men and women that wish to keep their seats in the senate in 2010, might want to take a long hard look at what did happen in two states where government got out of control before they vote in favor of the massively inadequate, over the top spending in the proposed health care reform bill. Americans cast a loud vote saying, “We’re mad as hell and we won’t take it anymore!”

Madame Pelosi says she has listened to the voice of the people while overseeing the health care reform; however, her little voices in her head must be talking too loud for her to hear the real people. The Democrats are in denial now, but in the next year they best get around to the reality that socialism and any attempts toward that end will be halted by the American people. No doubt, they would love to see us all scattered, bloody and bleeding before they would have the good sense to STOP SPENDING what the people cannot cover monetarily…it’s just not that simple. Madame, have you heard the people now…or are those the Nazi, redneck, racist-inbred, that you thought you heard this past summer?

Greta Van Susteren is a kind and extremely fair hostess with her guest, even those who are making totally absurd remarks, as with Hillary Clinton who seems to have forgotten that their her husband Willy Bill failed to deal with Al Qaeda when the time was right. Greta asked why the Pakistani people are now blaming us for the advanced state of the Taliban-now, we all know they would not associate with Al Qaeda-aggression. While forgetting about the 8-years her husband spent in office ignoring problems in that region, Hillary placed the blame and mistrust on George W. Bush.

Giving the dog his dues, George W. screwed up a few times…and that would put him the league of extraordinary men who have actually led this nation and not always been in the right place at the right time. Willy Bill Clinton is in that same league, as Tom Snyder pointed out when men were sent to bomb Afghanistan during Monica-Gate. Snyder said that the men who piloted those planes should have a picture of Monica Lewinsky so that they would know what their mission was really about…just post a picture of her in each plane. Willy Bill Clinton is one of a few men able to balance the budget, in his last year as president, but he also had the bad sense to send American jobs overseas through NAFTA, which led to a loss of jobs and an economically dangerous situation-so proud that our loss has made the Chinese people’s lives easier. The lists of wrongs and rights with each president since George Washington has to be measured equally or the party of no blame gets away with murdering reputations through slander.

I wondered, until this past week, how anyone could think that Hillary Clinton could act in diplomatic matters with a sense of style, decorum, and good sense; then it was made clear that Obama needed Clinton allies to carry out his radical agenda. Lest we forget, Hillary Clinton-while first lady of this nation-was thrown out of a New York bar for abusive language towards another patron. When confronted, she tried to remind the proprietor that she was first lady. The proprietor/management still took the necessary actions because poor behavior applied, at that time, to everyone. Hillary’s penchant for bullying the opponent will not work in the world of diplomacy, and mistrust between Pakistan and the United States did not start with George W. Bush, nor will it end with Barack Obama and his legion of misfits.

Duct tape, new clothes, and a better hairstyle for Hillary will serve diplomatic purposes better than blaming the former administration.

My husband told me, not long back, that when he finally had had all of the political “BS” he could take; he would likely run for congress. While it’s not clear where he would come by the funds to undertake such a race, it’s starting to hit many working-class men in the same vein. Though the common man is not seeking to secure a congressional seat, many feel that they could do a far-better job than that done by the present congress. They do not feel obligated to backstab the congressmen and women, in fact most would let the records of those presently screwing up the system stand for themselves. Little need be said about the massive-corruption taking place in Washington D. C. within congress and the present administration.

Frankly, my own preference would be to undergo water boarding with bamboo shoots shoved under my nails than to take part in the congressional backstabbing and deal making while securing pork stimulated packages for lobbyist. A piece in the Washington Times pointed out clearly what most of the voters are feeling about elections, politicians, and media influence; we’re fed up with the combination of mud slinging, and poll-driven opinions that have wrecked havoc on what was once a decent process undertaken by the public to insure proper representation in the halls of congress. The one thing that most voters, whether they are Democrats, Republicans, or Independents, will agree upon is that we are fed up with the candidates throwing shadows upon one another instead of talking about the issues that their districts face. It’s immature, ugly, unhelpful, and most of all unnecessary. We can smell a skunk without someone pointing out the stripe down his or her back.

It is unlikely that the man choosing to run for office will have worked a 9 to 5 job, manual labor, or have a real sense of what the public needs, but with all the angry and slanderous campaigning that has become the “norm” during election races its difficult to know which of the men that has thrown in his hat might have a brain beneath it. When he awakens, does he have to peel off the dollar signs over his eyes, or do they appear shortly after the first cup of Latte? Will he even remember the people that elected him once he gets into a routine of appeasing lobbyist and dealing his constituents the short end of the stick to supplement his ever-growing need to accumulate wealth? The long and the short of an election race are dependent upon the politician that holds the least amount of animosity towards his district. It’s little wonder they sling mud at one another due to the depth of earth they crawl out from under.

We headed north last night passing through several towns on our road to Durant Oklahoma, and all the house were dark. The few children that we did see dressed for Trick or Treat were heading into churches and schools for their evening of fun. My grandchildren went to the school carnival that has become the standard since so many perverts have found entertainment in poisoning or mutilating children on Halloween through the candies they doled out. It is truly sad that just a generation ago, children could trick or treat at their neighbor’s house without fear of what they might be given in their little bags and totes meant to keep candy for later enjoyment.

A notion of how this could be rectified occurred to me too late to do anything about this year, but those of us who would love to see the little faces and masks of Halloween appear at their doors next year, might consider the following: We can go to our local law enforcement offices and have them run background checks, take our licenses, and check our residency, so that they will have a list of safe houses that children can trick or treat and know they will be safe. We need to find a way to give Halloween back to the children in the fashion that it was meant to be celebrated. Most of us have memories, that these little ones will never have, if something is not done to make all-things right again.

Any suggestions that will make Halloween safe again should be added and we should start a national campaign to keep children safe and happy for Halloween the way it should be, and the way we had the pleasure of celebrating it so many years ago. After all, a politician should not be the only trusted person in the United States where Halloween is concerned…we rarely trust them with anything else.
