I can't wait to see the bloated Cheney bloviate now!
Later..........................(**ES and D = Eat shit and die!)
There were parts of this speech that had him imploring to the masses that even considering criminal charges against Dubya's administration would be tantamount to opening the door to another attack.
Oh yes..you are your father's daughter. She may be eloquent in her speaking, but her facts and excuses are lame at best. Amazing how the Cheney's seem to define the word "torture" to mean a breakfast of crumpets and tea. The concept and reality just doesn't hit home with these fukktards. All in all, I think Nora held her own, and Liz Cheney came out looking like the sycophant that she is.

I managed to get my major chore of the day accomplished. Now just a few odds and ends to stash away. Being proud of my accomplishment was short lived. When I got the mail, one of my credit card statements said I missed my April payment. I have never missed a payment, as I schedule the payments online and there has never been a problem - ever. When I went to check the site - down for maintenance. Now I'm pissed.
My goal this tax season was to either pay off the medical bills or credit cards. I didn't even come close. I have about $500 in medical bills to pay, plus there is one bill for the ER for $1350 which the insurance company has DENIED. Because I wasn't admitted that first visit (although the Dr. said I was to be admitted and changed his mind), they are refusing payment. It doesn't matter that his incompetence secured my admission to the hospital the next day - OH NO!! Bastards. Hell, I don't care - I'm not going to pay it anyway. Send it to collections, at this point I don't give a damn.
My meager pension does not go very far at all - then to have medical bills compound the problem, really makes me mad. That is why I don't go to the doctor. I am one of those who fell through the cracks. I have 80% major medical and that is all. No eye, dental, doctor or prescriptions. Doesn't that just suck balls.
I apologize for ranting - I have been fuming for a couple of hours now and venting here helps a wee tad. I will throw something at the wall in a little while.
The weather started an upward climb today - we got to 60* - woohoo! Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70's I believe.
Oh well, thegrandson is blowing bubbles in the bathtub, so I better get him out before he prunes up too badly. Have a great evening and I shall return....later............
WTF?!?!? Supposedly, Cheney injured his back while "moving" boxes into his McLean, Virginia home the other day. That's one big load of crap. C'mon now...he is worth millions, and has the WH staff at his beck and call (all before exiting today), and there is absolutely no reason why this jerk would even be lifting boxes. 
Here are two men, Larry Flynt and Joe Francis, presumably considered authorities on porn, for lack of a better title - applying to our government for a Federal Bailout for their industry.
Both of these men have pedigrees less than desirable (in my humble opinion), and for some perverse (excuse the pun) reason, feel that the porn industry is high up on the needs list for salvation in this dying economy.
I just realized that as of today I am starting into my 4th YEAR in the blogosphere!! WOOHOO. My very first pathetic posting was on December 28, 2005 - for me this is quite an accomplishment. I still hope I can get better at this venture, as I am far from "a writer", I more or less just blather on and on! I have a moderate amount of followers - I'm sure if I were a better person with words, that would be a larger figure, but I am a satisfied individual.
Since a new administration will officially take office in THREE weeks, I needed to get this last grievance out - never to be spoken of again, I hope!
Now on to "current events." Just reading about Dick Cheney makes me want to puke, but reading this, brings on thoughts of a full blown stroke. The man is totally delusional and so obtuse. Not understanding why he is so unpopular just reeks of his distance from the populace.
Let's see now, he was the primary architect of a war against a sovereign country, based on deliberately fabricated intelligence. He then turns around and lies to the American people about the threat this country poses against the United States. He (and this administration) failed to complete the military actions started in Afghanistan - thus creating a massive debt based on two wars - which future generations will still be paying!
Cheney also, a huge proponent of torture of prisoners, which goes against the general beliefs and mores of the citizens of the U.S.
I'm not holding my breath, but Cheney and Bush should be held accountable for their treasonous acts - even after office. This is something we will have to just wait and see about.
Now, Dick Cheney is saying Obama will appreciate how he and Bush expanded the Executive powers...what am I missing here??? I should hope and pray that criminal charges are brought against this moron, and soon! No matter the argument, Cheney is a self-serving asswipe. He needs to just "go away" and enjoy the millions he has raped from this country and others through Haliburton. If I never hear his name again I would be quite happy - unless it is on an indictment.
I now have eight dozen Frosted Pumpkin cookies prepared. Thedaughter now says she want some Chocolate Chip cookies. Honestly, it will have to wait a couple of days, as my back is killing me. I hate feeling this way. I need to shop for Christmas and I can't even walk for any great amount of time, let alone stand. This is miserable.
Now, I have "cookie" tins all over the place - at least in the kitchen. I will now get a few decorative boxes and make up some "goodie" bags for friends. I guess this is an almost "done" job.
