“tufied” should have been “studied”

even for me that’s a doozy

We have a collection, thanks for adding one!

edit–LOL first I typed Nornin’.

I was playing around the other night and put together a complicated string of words. A friendly challenge followed to “say that three times real fast”. I went for the smartass reply and typed “that” three times, but somehow typod the last one…heh…so I just left it as was and admitted failure.

My parents and siblings live 20 minutes from me and my little family unit. I haven’t seen or talked to them in over two yrs. By their choice,not mine.

My mother thinks I’m satanic. Because I own books about paganism,and have a large reproduction of Waterhouse’s painting,The Magic Circle,in my living room. She’s also stated that my son,who is autistic,is a punishment from God for my sins. I suppose I’m better off,not exposing my child to someone who thinks he’s a curse. The only way they will come to my house is if I remove any things they doesn’t approve of first. Um,no,I’m 46 yrs old,my husband and I have a nice home,I mean really,what freaking NERVE.

I’m not dumb,this religion thing is just an excuse,my mother has NEVER liked me,always looked down her nose at me,with my siblings standing behind her giggling. I just don’t understand how any of them can look at themselves in the mirror or sleep the sleep of babies. It says more about who they are than who I am.

I have kiddos and grandbabies,and I lavish gifts on them and love them,but it’s still a difficult time of year for me. I have wonderful inlaws,who spoil me,which is good,and helps me feel like I at least belong to a family,even if it’s not the one I was born to.

Next year,me and my little family unit are leaving GA and going somewhere else for the holidays. Montana or Vermont maybe. In lieu of presents,a vacation. I opened a savings account just for that purpose last week. It’s time for something different.

I catch myself reinventing the language too. It shocks me sometimes to see how far away from the intended letters I am.

I’ve made similar comments on Iran/Contra players since I’ve been here. I honestly thought the subject would get better discussion when Fitz made a point to announce that he was requesting and sharing the Italians’ unredacted Niger document forgery report with McNulty. That circle and those meetings have the same Iran/Contra participants and also was involved by the AIPAC espionage folks.

even for me that’s a doozy

I cannot tell you how shocked I was when I first learned that Elliot Abrams was Ba-aack.

Rather than merely re edicating folks about Abrams, I think it would be and EXTREMELY useful exercise to examine the Iran Countr scandal in detail.

So much of the crap that is going on today had it’s genisis in Iran Contra. Because Congress screwed up and obstructed Lawrence Wlash’s investigation and because no one stood up for him, justice never really happened.

Thank heavens Team Fitz seems to have tufied Iran Contra well. It ha enable the Office of the Special Prosecutor to avoid a lot of pitfalls.

It would be a good and useful thing, during the run up to the trial to remind everyone that many of these players have a VERY checkered history and on not persons of good will or good intention and when they get on the teevee to spin spin spin, it would be good if folks remeber their past false testimony on sharp dealing.

A late good morning, folks. Here is today’s NYT columnist:

Bob Herbert, “Out of Sight.”

Yesterday two people said they couldn’t open these links. Is that the case for everyone? Should I continue doing this, or is it an exercise in futility and frustration for y’all?

g’morning Marion

Here is what I get in following the link

The way the poorest and most vulnerable victims of Hurricane Katrina have been treated so far by government officials at every level has been disgraceful.

…but I appreciate the effort. By the way, Anne Kornblut from The Times is on C-Span discussing Hillary.

I have several crazy ideas, but one here in particular. With great voices like Kucinich and Edwards expressing interest in 08, is there any chance they, and others joining, would consider speaking to issues as a team instead of as indivduals for now? They can sort out details about individual goals later but this would take a lot of power away from the media in clouding the issues. Any individual seeking the presidency now is at a big disadvantage; it’s just too early and too much else needs to be done first. I believe the voters need to see progress.
