What will you get for your hard-earned health care buck?
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, the wars, jobs, Savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc……
So I called lifeline.


Got a freakin’ call center in Pakistan .
I told them I was suicidal.
They all got excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

In Memory Of Eugenia Piantieri
This year I was given the charge of memorializing a person to whom I had never met. The difficulty of this is apparent. Of course I knew that the info that I needed was out there, the Internet would aid me in this and with that I began to delve into a strangers life. What I did not expect was the overwhelming feelings one gets in doing this. After a few hours of Internet surfing I began to feel as if I really knew this person..As if she was my neighbor, co worker, a friend.
Eugenia Piantieri, or Jean as she was called by friends and family, had just started a new job at Marsh-McLennan Insurance on the 97th floor of tower one of the World Trade Center, A point in her life that she was proud of. The daughter of a military man Eugenia and her brother Marvin lived on Guam in her early years until her father was transferred to California at the age of seven. Her high school friends would remember her as Jean McCann to which they were members of both Drama and commercial Clubs in her Senior year and soon after she met and married Anthony Piantieri. Eugenia was truly and outright excited to be in New York city with a new job and at the young age of 55 years a promising future. From those who knew her they described her as having a whimsical unique personality, outgoing and charming, with a smile that suited her personality and beauty.
I did not know this person but it was my absolute privilege to do the research and memorial. And in this I am sure that I would have liked her and her presence.
It seems that the shock and sadness has worn away a little more with each passing year since the tragedy of 9/11 and I was no exception to this passiveness, but the power of the spirit in all of us lives on even in death. Eugenia’s spirit has reminded me of what life is truly all about. Because in the end we find we are all related, our senses tell us this; As a lite breeze shakes the leafs on the tree before me carries the smells of wonder to the next, with the light of a new day brings the laughter of a child in the sun warming a mothers heart. Beneath the stars a young lovers touch to another in long anticipation of the kiss and the bitterness of all that is ill sadness and lose.
Take a look around you and take in the beauty of life, what do you see? This is a most unimaginable place we live in, filled with everything one needs to love. And thru the spirit of Eugenia I have found a little more to love today.
boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth…Proverbs (ch. XXVII, v. 1)

If you don’t laugh at this then something is wrong!
A guy calls his buddy, the horse rancher, and say’s he’s sending a friend over to look at a horse. His buddy asks, ” How will I recognize him”, ” That’s easy, he’s a midget with a speech impediment”.
So the midget shows up, and the guy asks him if he’s looking for a male or female horse. ” A female horth”. So he shows him a prized filly, “Nith lookin horth”.
” Can I thee her eyeths”? So the guy picks up the midget and he gives the horse’s eyes the once over. ” Nith eyeths”.
” Can I thee her earzth”? So he picks the little fella up again, and shows him the horse’s ears. ” Nith earzths”.
” Can I thee her mouf”? The rancher is getting ptretty ticked off by this point, but he picks him up again a nd shows him the horse’s mouth. ” Nith mouf “.
” Can I thee her twat “? Totally mad as fire at this point, the rancher grabs him under his arms and sticks the midget’s head as far as he can up the horse’s ass, pulls him out and plops him on the ground. The midget gets up, sputtering and coughing.
” Perhapth I should rephrathzs that. Can I thee her wun awound a widdlebit”?
You bet!
For the past few summer’s my wife has been bringing home fresh grown vegetables from a co worker who I might add does a wonderful job growing and Monday was no exception. This weeks pickings brought me some VERY hot peppers.
I love hot peppers of just about any sort and these were up to par. This time I had them for lunch, straight up too! Its that warming in the belly that does it for me. And so after a few minutes of eating peppers I decided to kick back for a few and catch up on some news. It only took a few minutes for the massive amounts of kool-aid ( my attempt to stifle the effects of the peppers )to take effect and I found myself in the bathroom to relive myself, like any typical man I caught the need to give the package a scratch ( you men know what I mean ).
Suddenly and I mean Suddenly, I realized were Jerry lee was coming from! I often wondered what that song was about and now I know. Just as with my attempt to ‘kool’ down my taste buds the shower had little effect in my need for relief. And so I have learned several things today all of which I should keep to my self.
Men you have been warned,,Great balls of fire has meaning!
Out rage over the release!

The U.S. navy today announced that it has released a senior Al Qaeda terrorist after questioning him extensively for 27 days while being held prisoner aboard a US aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea.
In a humanitarian gesture, the terrorist was given $50 u.s and a white 1962 Ford Fairlane automobile upon released from custody.
The attached photo shows the terrorist on his way home just after being released by the Navy.
Ted Kennedy is Dead
Teddy led a wonderful life as a senator and may have done some good things with his life in or out of office.
Mary Jo never had the chance.
Teddy was VERY wealthy and acted like he cared about the the little people.
Mary Jo never had the chance.
Teddy had many people in high places to get him out of a jam, like getting drunk and driving a car off a bridge leaving a women behind drowning, although he claimed he tried to save her. So why did he not report the incident until the vehicle and body of Kopechne was found the next morning?
I am sure Mary would have loved to see all that was in the world of politics, perhaps even run for a office her self , but Ted killed her.
My rant today is not political however I did not like Teddy for his liberal view, no rather it was the fact that he never took responsibility for killing an aid worker. Simple as that, he was a liar and a drunk period.
Now its time for Teddy to meet our lord and Iam thinking he might not get the pass, on this I might be wrong. The lord works his will and forgiveness is part of that. But for me, Iam not bound by that rule.
And now we will hear about “the death of an era”..or ” the death of a icon”, This could be said for lets say Pol Pot of Cambodia or Hitler, but the left will rise Teddy above the hilt of goodness. In fact I would not be surprised if the powers that be call for a Government controlled heath care plan to be passed in honor of Kennedy. It would only be fitting in the light of our times.
Iam truly sorry for the Kennedy family as well as the Kopechne family.
Lets get the real message across!
After weeks of town hall meetings, politicians are obviously ignoring the American people. The Mainstream Media will show a clip of someone holding a Nazi sign and this is supposed to be a representation of the general public involved in the meetings/protest. This of course is ridiculous and this type of protest is uncalled for, however the power of the voice is real it’s just not being heard in a way a politician might understand. So if someone is reading this please pass this on.
Start showing up at town hall meetings with pink slips in hand!
The camera loves color and nothing drives home the message ” Your fired” like a pink slip! In fact you don’t have to say anything when your handing out a daintily colored piece of paper, the message is clear.
What would the Mainstream Media say about that? What would be the spin either from the Media or the White House?
Operation Code Pink Slip
Spread the word!
BERNIE ‘DYING’ IN JAIL
from The New York Post
Bernie Madoff had little to lose by confessing to masterminding the world’s biggest Ponzi scheme — he’s dying of cancer, sources told The Post.
Madoff, who is serving 150 years at a North Carolina federal lockup after pleading guilty to swindling more than $65 billion, has been telling fellow inmates he does not have much longer to live.
“He’s been taking about 20 pills a day for his cancer,” said one inmate.
“He talks about it all the time. He’s not doing very well.”
Really Mr Madoff? Is this the plan? Is it possible Mr Madoff has MSNBC in the lock up?
It really don’t matter because Mr Bernie does not qualify for ‘early release upon compassion. First of all, Bernie Madoff did not murder hundreds of innocent people even though several people committed suicide because of his crime. (still blood on his hands) He could have Jihad ed his way in and out but alas he is not a enemy combatant so no Bahama trip for him,so sad.
But here is the real kicker Mr Madoff YOUR NOT IN SCOTLAND dumbass!
Of course I’m probably wrong after all look at the current libtard Government WE have. Anything can happen. The hard core question is were will Bernie go for the hero’s welcome? hmmm
