My first thought – the BunnyMonster from Sexy Beast!

Teddy!

For anybody who cares, I’m sorry I haven’t been around much. I’ve had a great deal on my mind. Seems like lately no matter what I say I’m being taken to task from people on the left and the right for having the temerity to think for myself. Usually it’s not an issue but lately it seems kind of petty and a waste of energy to squabble about ideology when I’m much more focused on survival. I’m sure I’ll feel more like interacting again at some point.

Teddy!

That is one bad ass bunny. I think he gets pissed off about be lumped in with fairies and unicorns.

Al Jazeera is reporting that 500 Taliban escaped from a prison in Kandahar via a 350 foot meter tunnel.

That sounds a lot like someone else I know. The economy is destroying lives.

I would just like to say that some of us at least miss you and enjoy your input, even if we do not always agree with you. Speaking personally, I cannot even think of times when I seriously disagreed. My most heartfelt wishes go out to you for things to turn around on the personal survival front as well.

Newt!

Hi Margaret. Thanks for dropping by; I too have found that breaks are good.

And best of luck with the survival thing. Everything else pales, right?

He is a very frightening bun.

I must say I was struck by the number and density of the “easter present” ads on teevee, mostly from the BigBoxStores, this season. I don’t remember being inundated with presents. Candy, yes, and jelly beans. Also, boring new clothes for church.

But not toys or (we didn’t have these in the cave I was raised in) electronics!

I get that. I break off too.

Still wish you’d stick around and smack though.

No really this whole thing explains alot. The tooth faire is running around making reparations for the Bunny. (slap) How did i not see this before.

hey mod just kill that reply will ya? you know like ya did to my reply to Margret

I’m confused.

When I was little, I though I had all these impt characters in my life straight & knew exactly what roles they were supposed to fill.

Just goes to show you how naive I was.

oops.

sorry, CAHN, to be the bearer of bad news.

You really do not want to know about the tooth fairy’s role in the illegal ivory trade.

I forgot – which is the holiday with the mattresses?

Crappy Easter, everyone!

Wedding night?

oh my.

I’ve missed your posts.
I value your thoughts.
We think along similar lines.
Come back when time and mood permit.
Blessings on you and yours, including kitty!

The marketing mofos are entirely without shame.

It should be the worst news I would ever get…

Actually the food store was empty and a breeze for the weekly shop. The local pub was full with the older crowd. Nice afternoon all in all.

Glad it didn’t suck for someone.

Time for me to toddle off. Take care all.

I had a nice, uneventful day. It was the first time this spring when I could actually sit & read outside for a short period.

And was able to get my cat out long enough to both brush some of her shedding off and to zonk her out for the night. She’s been getting a little house stir crazy (ain’t we both), and her shedding fur is all over everything, even though she is not a long hair.

See how little things can make one happy!

Also, I heard my “pet” mockingbird Cookie. His song seemed pissed, like: WTF, dya ‘spect me to sing a complicated song to establish territory, make a nest and do all the other spring junk while my balls are freezing off. But it was nice to hear him anyway.

Night DrD.

No teevee at all today: the Masters golf tournament was two weeks ago and almost always coincides with Easter.

So Teddy, the burning question still remains… Did the Easter Bunny hop on by your house today…? ;-)

Aloha ya’ll…!

I’m wondering if the WH Easter Eggs for the roll were made out of depleted uranium. Seems like that would be appropriate to this admin.

Margaret –

Take heart. Most of us appreciate you, and those that don’t? Fuck ‘em.

Hope you find a way to survive, and please, please, don’t consider doing anything foolish (“final”). You’re a good soul who has survived a tough lot in life, and will survive once again.

Ooh, that’s cooold…! ;-)

But appropriate.

Annnnd – SHAZAM!

Thine arrows, straight and true…

ALL of them!

You know I’m behind ya 110%, Peg…! *g*

Have ya RSVP’d yet for tomorrow’s FDL gala festivities…? ;-)

Yeah, we had a swell ham-and-scallopped-taters-and-asparagus dinner to celebrate The Evil Bun. Cake soon, too! You?

Took my indoor basil plant outside today for its first direct sunbath in 85-degree early spring warmth. It’s two months old and quite leafy (smallish leaves), only gets morning sun through a window, has no stalks and probably never will, I have to stake and twine the five or six plant stems or they flop over. They share a table with a weedy indoor vine growing up one of those shopping mall kiosk displays for cheap necklaces that someone discarded a few years ago at the complex dumpster. I won’t put the basil outside. Radiation Nation has cautioned me. Last year’s basil didn’t fare great, only so-so. It was strong but wasps loved to suck there, birds alighted and bent stems, a gecko liked to drink the morning dew, and a praying mantis spent its childhood in/on it.

Late yesterday I made a whole wheat bread in my bread machine and timed it so it would have risen when Easter fell in Jerusalem’s time zone.

Egg roll at the WH tomorrow.

Still time to find out what they’ll have for rollin’ and who will sing, I guess.

I declined, unless you need peeps to fill in.

But I did say in my response that Manning needed a much better lawyer & couldn’t FDL or Glenzilla help him out on that. Coombs seems completely incompetent to me.

Seems excessively complicated for basil. I just pinch mine off when it gets too stalky.

What’s your point

Enjoyed a great family get together with ham and spuds, an assortment of veggies, and, topped off with a chocolate pudding pie…! ;-)

Tomorrow nite’s menu will be Scalloped Potatoes and Ham…! *g*

Teddy! Pups!

We had a Hoppy Easter, the bunny chewed off some of my crocuses before i got the rabbit fence up, but the forgiving critter brought candy anyhow.

Col. Anne Wright is an amazing woman…! Her alone is worth the time and effort, but with Marcy and all the major contributors too…? ;-)

Especially House. Totally want to hear what he has to say too.

Don’t know anything about her & don’t remember reading about her in the Manning threads. But I haven’t read them with ref to memorizing them.

Does it matter what peeps outside the admin & Manning’s lawyers say?

True, that too…! ;-)

Well, here’s you some Ann Wright:

In all those years, Ann Wright was proud of her representation of America. However, on March 13, 2003, the eve of the US invasion of Iraq, Col.. Ann Wright sent a letter of resignation to then Secretary of State Colin Powell. She felt that without the authorization of the UN Security Council, the US invasion and occupation of a Moslem, Arab oil-rich country would be a disaster. Only two other State Department officials resigned at that time over the imminent invasion. In an interview, Ann explained that, in Foreign Service, “Your job is to implement the policies of an administration…if you strongly disagree with any administration’s policies, and wish to speak out, your only option is to resign. I understood that and that’s one of the reasons I resigned – to give myself the freedom to talk out.”

What does that have to do with Manning?

Yes.

And as much as I like and admire you, I’ll continue to oppose such comments on the grounds that to “dystopically acquiesce” is only to hasten the undesired result.

*heh* Ya beat me to her wiki…! Btw, She’s also a current resident of Hawaii, too…! ;-)

A voice of moral opposition to the initial Irak war who put her money where her mouth was at that very moment in time, and was also arrested with Ellsberg at the WH gates vis Manning, is someone who is vested in the work that needs to be done to pull us out of this insanity.

YMMV.

Time for me to retire.

Night all.

Pleasant dreams, M’dear…! *g*

Yep
Great lady.

Also the fact she’s been on two separate ships to sail for Gaza, including the Mavi Marmara flotilla, and, her many visits to Palestine…!

Love ya lady!

You keep hard-nosed forecasting, and I’ll continue working and believing to prove you wrong.

I may lose in the course, but you would rather we won in the end; of that, I am sure.

CTuttle is upstairs!
Late, Late Night FDL: Sex Kills

If you found this video as gratuitously unpleasant as I did, Digby’s got the cutest ducks in NYC at Hullabaloo.

But I liked the David Sedaris.

Margaret, dear, incredibly intelligent and astute,Margaret,
These are the days that try a good person’s soul. I’m mutilating a famous saying, but these times are upon us.
It’s not Margaret who is lacking, it’s the Kockroache’s spawn that has been sent to attack you.
I don’t have time to read many of the threads.I’m sorry that you’re under attack. I’m so sorry that it’s the same as it’s always been. I had such expectations of a better United States of America. When I was young.

What it means to me is that you are correct in your thinking and you hit exposed nerves. Why else would you get attacked? I would worry if that wasn’t happening. IMHO you always are respectful and give others room to prove their point or clarify their position. I hope you don’t change because I have learned so much from you. Keep on fighting.
