and Cowboys
An urban cowboy circles
looks like someone stole his cue,
now he's lookin' kinda lost.
I'm sure he knows just Who
but not quite What to do -
he hasn't got a clue.
So much for tough guy eyes.
Then his girlfriend points away
behind me to the left -
body on the pavement
red lights at the curb
and they both go to gawk.
The body lays right there
near where Laura once was…

But I may be able to get him rotating in his grave like a wind turbine, if this post generates half the attention that I think it could,,,
What
did that guy mean to you, anyway? I see him mainly as the perfect encapsulation of what's wrong with the American Dream: That the American Dream is NOT set up for the well-being of the American citizenry themselves, but solely for the financial gain of a select few. No matter how revolutionary your idea, no matter how enlightening or…

What is wrong with people in this country? How can people stand up in public and say some of the ridiculous things that they are saying about Obama and his health care plan? I saw a woman on TV today hold up a picture of Obama fixed up to look like Hitler and she said, with a perfectly straight face, that his health plan included a provision where the government would have "death panels" that would decide who lived and who died! That they would decide that certain people were too old or too…

You’ve probably noticed the escalating hype and hysteria surrounding the swine flu pandemic as colder months approach and the number of worldwide cases climbs. It’s true the virus is spreading.
Much more important, however, is the fact that reported cases continue to be symptomatically mild, requiring little or no medical intervention. And deaths from the H1N1 virus remain extremely low, at less than one half of one percent of…

Thank God! Oops, I mean, thank Obama. The economic crisis is almost over, the 'war on terror' is a thing of the past and, by his own words, Obama and his administration have saved America from catastrophe.
President Obama used the occasion of a 1/10 of 1% drop in the nation's unemployment rate to claim both success and validation for his economic policies. He has valiantly brought America back from the brink of the economic chaos that was caused by his predecessor. But as is often…

Do you like dogs?
Hey everyone. I like dogs. Do you like dogs? Some of you like dogs, I’m sure. You know what I like about dogs?
They aren’t people.
Ha-ha! EeYeah! That’s why I like dogs. Yeah-ya. Well, they are manipulative, of course. Sure they are. But if you pay attention, their machinations - ha-ha! EeYeah; a dog’s machinations center around three things - feed me, pet me, and take me for a walk. And they never say anything unless they bark, and that’s…

Does this statement sound right to you?
“Vaccine makers and federal officials will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius,” reported the Associated Press last month.
How does this statement make you feel?
I find it unsettling. If I subscribed to a vaccine mindset, I'd feel like a human guinea pig, meaning I would feel as though my is health and well…

Seeming endless cycle, but does come to an end:
Birth and Death

Someone dear to me mentioned my Friends Theory that I have posted on my profile. Another way I live I call the Swimming Pool Theory of Life.
When I was about five, a couple my parents knew bought land to build a house. A huge lot, because they knew they wanted a nice swimming pool. The Mrs insisted that they build the pool and the bath house first. She knew that if they built the house first, they might never get around to building the swimming pool OR the nice bath house she wanted,…

I Read The Bill
by Tom Wacaster
I have listened with great interest and concern to the “pros” and “cons” of the impending health bill that has been drawn up by the House of Representatives. Few, if any, of our representatives have actually read the bill in its entirety. In contrast a growing number of concerned…

The summer sun is coming on with a vengeance for being sequestered during the winter, which must be true because temperatures are holding between ninety and a hundred degrees. Salty sweat keeps trickling into my eyes, which makes them cry without any effort from feelings inside.
I think they call this type of summer a "Sangria Summer" which I have from a great authority and directly quoted from me. Not being Spanish, obviously I've always had to pretend, so I put on my best cotton…

Couple is in financial "turmoil" according to hubby. Can't afford a car or car repairs says same hubby. "I need to get a place that's closer to work so I can bike there...blah....blah....blah..." Um....hello...2 residences.....2 sets of utility bills, etc, etc etc, so on and so forth. So you drop the car, which doesn't have a note/lien on it, and incur new living expenses. Um....okay....I'm not a rocket scientist here, but you do the math.

Hey everyone. Guess what? It seems I’ve been very bad lately. Yeah-ya. Surprised? Ha-ha! No you aren’t. You know the only thing I’m qualified for is breaking things, don’t-cha? Ha-ha! Of course you do.
‘So what’d he do now?’ you ask? Well I’ll tell ya. It seems I was wrong when I
suggested that the latest
birther conspiracy was designed as a part of the plot to undermine the President during the health care debate. Have you heard about that? It seems a new certificate…

I saw her for the first time sitting alone on a swing, both hands gently gripping the chains that supported either side of the swing, while she swung lazily back and forth a few feet at a time. I moved closer and stood at the swing next to hers and asked, “Is it okay if I sit here?”
She looked up with her dark lashes half covering her chocolate brown eyes and smiled. Her white teeth flashed at me and replied, “Yes.”
For a moment I could not move, as her eyes swallowed mine…

Opposition from nurses association falls on deaf ears
August 3, 2009
A New York State health authority has adopted a regulation that mandates every health care worker in the state to be vaccinated against influenza.
The news was announced last week by the New York State Hospital Planning and Review Council, despite overwhelming opposition from the nation’s oldest and largest state professional association for registered…
