A CHRISTMAS STORY (Have a tissue handy, THANKS to Karen for this wonderful story.)
To Whomever Gets My Dog:
They told me the big Lab's name was Reggie as I looked at him lying in his pen. The shelter was clean, and the people really friendly.
I'd only been in the area for six months, but everywhere I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the street.
But something was still missing as I attempted to settle in to my new life here, and I thought a dog couldn't hurt. Give me someone to talk to.
And I had just seen Reggie's advertisement on the local news. The shelter said they had received numerous calls right after, but they said the people who had come down to see him just didn't look like "Lab people," whatever that meant. They must've thought I did.
But at first, I thought the shelter had misjudged me in giving me Reggie and his things, which consisted of a dog pad, bag of toys almost all of which were brand new tennis balls, his dishes, and a sealed letter from his previous owner. See, Reggie and I didn't really hit it off when we got home. We struggled for two weeks (which is how long the shelter told me to give him to adjust to his new home). Maybe it was the fact that I was trying to adjust, too. Maybe we were too much alike.
For some reason, his stuff (except for the tennis balls - he wouldn't go anywhere without two stuffed in his mouth) got tossed in with all of my other unpacked boxes. I guess I didn't really think he'd need all his old stuff, that I'd get him new things once he settled in. but it became pretty clear pretty soon that he wasn't going to.
I tried the normal commands the shelter told me he knew, ones like "sit" and "stay" and "come" and "heel," and he'd follow them - when he felt like it. He never really seemed to listen when I called his name - sure, he'd look in my direction after the fourth of fifth time I said it, but then he'd just go back to doing whatever. When I'd ask again, you could almost see him sigh and then grudgingly obey.
This just wasn't going to work. He chewed a couple shoes and some unpacked boxes. I was a little too stern with him and he resented it, I could tell.
The friction got so bad that I couldn't wait for the two weeks to be up, and when it was, I was in full-on search mode for my cell phone amid all of my unpacked stuff. I remembered leaving it on the stack of boxes for the guest room, but I also mumbled, rather cynically, that the "damn dog probably hid it on me."
Finally I found it, but before I could punch up the shelter's number, I also found his pad and other toys from the shelter.. I tossed the pad in Reggie's direction and he snuffed it and wagged, some of the most enthusiasm I'd seen since bringing him home. But then I called, "Hey, Reggie, you like that Come here and I'll give you a treat." Instead, he sort of glanced in my direction - maybe "glared" is more accurate - and then gave a discontented sigh and flopped down. With his back to me.
Well, that's not going to do it either, I thought. And I punched the shelter phone number.
But I hung up when I saw the sealed envelope. I had completely forgotten about that, too.
"Okay, Reggie," I said out loud, "let's see if your previous owner has any advice.".........
"To Whomever Gets My Dog:
Well, I can't say that I'm happy you're reading this, a letter I told the shelter could only be opened by Reggie's new owner.
I'm not even happy writing it. If you're reading this, it means I just got back from my last car ride with my Lab after dropping him off at the shelter. He knew something was different. I have packed up his pad and toys before and set them by the back door before a trip, but this time... it's like he knew something was wrong. And something is wrong... which is why I have to go to try to make it right.
So let me tell you about my Lab in the hopes that it will help you bond with him and he with you.
First, he loves tennis balls... the more the merrier.
Sometimes I think he's part squirrel, the way he hordes them.
He usually always has two in his mouth, and he tries to get a third in there. Hasn't done it yet.
Doesn't matter where you throw them, he'll bound after it, so be careful - really don't do it by any roads. I made that mistake once, and it almost cost him dearly.
Next, commands. Maybe the shelter staff already told you, but I'll go over them again: Reggie knows the obvious ones - "sit," "stay," "come," "heel." He knows hand signals: "back" to turn around and go back when you put your hand straight up; and "over" if you put your hand out right or left. "Shake" for shaking water off, and "paw" for a high-five. He does "down" when he feels like lying down - I bet you could work on that with him some more. He knows "ball" and "food" and "bone" and "treat" like nobody's business.
I trained Reggie with small food treats. Nothing opens his ears like little pieces of hot dog.
Feeding schedule: twice a day, once about seven in the morning, and again at six in the evening.
Regular store-bought stuff; the shelter has the brand.
He's up on his shots.
Call the clinic on 9th Street and update his info with yours; they'll make sure to send you reminders for when he's due. Be forewarned: Reggie hates the vet.
Good luck getting him in the car - I don't know how he knows when it's time to go to the vet, but he knows.
Finally, give him some time.
I've never been married, so it's only been Reggie and me for his whole life. He's gone everywhere with me, so please include him on your daily car rides if you can. He sits well in the backseat, and he doesn't bark or complain. He just loves to be around people, and me most especially.
Which means that this transition is going to be hard, with him going to live with someone new. And that's why I need to share one more bit of info with you.
His name's not Reggie.
I don't know what made me do it, but when I dropped him off at the shelter, I told them his name was Reggie. He's a smart dog, he'll get used to it and will respond to it, of that I have no doubt. but I just couldn't bear to give them his real name. For me to do that, it seemed so final, that handing him over to the shelter was as good as me admitting that I'd never see him again. And if I end up coming back, getting him, and tearing up this letter, it means everything's fine. But if someone else is reading it, well... well it means that his new owner should know his real name. It'll help you bond with him. Who knows, maybe you'll even notice a change in his demeanor if he's been giving you problems.
His real name is Tank. Because that is what I drive.
Again, if you're reading this and you're from the area, maybe my name has been on the news. I told the shelter that they couldn't make "Reggie" available for adoption until they received word from my company commander. See, my parents are gone, I have no siblings, no one I could've left Tank with... and it was my only real request of the Army upon my deployment to Iraq, that they make one phone call the shelter... in the "event"... to tell them that Tank could be put up for adoption. Luckily, my colonel is a dog guy, too, and he knew where my platoon was headed. He said he'd do it personally. And if you're reading this, then he made good on his word.
Well, this letter is getting to downright depressing, even though, frankly, I'm just writing it for my dog. I couldn't imagine if I was writing it for a wife and kids and family. but still, Tank has been my family for the last six years, almost as long as the Army has been my family.
And now I hope and pray that you make him part of your family and that he will adjust and come to love you the same way he loved me.
That unconditional love from a dog is what I took with me to Iraq as an inspiration to do something selfless, to protect innocent people from those who would do terrible things... and to keep those terrible people from coming over here. If I had to give up Tank in order to do it, I am glad to have done so. He was my example of service and of love. I hope I honored him by my service to my country and comrades.
All right, that's enough.
I deploy this evening and have to drop this letter off at the shelter.
I don't think I'll say another good-bye to Tank, though. I cried too much the first time. Maybe I'll peek in on him and see if he finally got that third tennis ball in his mouth.
Good luck with Tank.
Give him a good home, and give him an extra kiss goodnight - every night - from me."
Thank you, Paul Mallory
I folded the letter and slipped it back in the envelope. Sure I had heard of Paul Mallory, everyone in town knew him, even new people like me. Local kid, killed in Iraq a few months ago and posthumously earning the Silver Star when he gave his life to save three buddies. Flags had been at half-mast all summer.
I leaned forward in my chair and rested my elbows on my knees, staring at the dog.
"Hey, Tank," I said quietly.
The dog's head whipped up, his ears cocked and his eyes bright. "C'mere boy."
He was instantly on his feet, his nails clicking on the hardwood floor. He sat in front of me, his head tilted, searching for the name he hadn't heard in months.
"Tank," I whispered. His tail swished.
I kept whispering his name, over and over, and each time, his ears lowered, his eyes softened, and his posture relaxed as a wave of contentment just seemed to flood him. I stroked his ears, rubbed his shoulders, buried my face into his scruff and hugged him.
"It's me now, Tank, just you and me. Your old pal gave you to me." Tank reached up and licked my cheek. "So whatdaya say we play some ball His ears perked again.
"Yeah Ball... You like that Ball "
Tank tore from my hands and disappeared in the next room. And when he came back......he had three tennis balls in his mouth.......

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S WEEKLY SPEECH - - - - - - -
Weekly Address:Celebrating Christmas and Honoring Those Who Serve :
For the first time in a weekly address, the President is joined by the First Lady as they celebrate Christmas. They both honor those serving overseas, those who have sacrificed for their country, and the families that stand by them.A CHRISTMAS STORY (I’m still wondering.)
When I was a kid (about 6 years old) my family moved from Interbay, near Ballard, Wa. to the Central District in Seattle.
The house was a two story house as you can see from the image here. I’m sure that at the time my folks bought the house it was already 60 years old. It was a nice big house that in time would house eight kids and my mom and dad.
I don’t remember the exact year but it was Christmas time and my went out to buy a tree. He came home with a tree that was HUGH. There was no way that it would fit in the front room without some serious cutting being done. It seemed to me that my Dad had a total lack of ability when it comes to judging the height of a tree or he got such a good deal on it he just couldn’t pass it up.
It turns out my Dad had something else in mind. Looking at the picture of our house you’ll notice that there are two large front windows on each floor of the house. He measured the height from floor to ceiling of the first floor and cut the tree to that height. He then wedge the tree in front of the first floor window.
He then took the remaining tree stock upstairs and placed it in front of the second floor window. We all decorated the two trees.
My CRUDE drawing is my attempt to show what it looked like from the outside of the house. To be honest it was quite effective.
My Dad never did say one way or the other that this was his plan all along. I’m still wondering.
He was one smart guy.
PS: I few years ago I drove buy the old house and was shocked to find that it wasnt there anymore an apartment was built in its place.

there's something happinin here what it is aint exactly clear theres a man with a gun over there tellin me i got to bewareTwo more cops where shot and seriously injured while responding to a domestic dispute. The only good part to this story is that fact that the shooter was shot dead. Isn't it about time for some good gun control. I may have told this story in some previous RANT but it's still true. When I was a kid about 6-7 years old my brother Buz and I went up the street to a friend's house. His mom and dad where not at home. Our friend Dean brought out a gun his dad had brought home from the war. It was a German Lugar. My brother told Dean he needed to be careful. To which Dean said don't worry, the gun isn't loaded and beside the safety is on. He then aimed the gun at me and pulled the trigger on this gun that was empty and the safety was on. . . the gun fired and thank god Dean's aid was not very good. The bullet missed me by about 3-4 feet. It scared the S**T out of me and I've thought about it quit often since then. Would I like to see STRICTER GUN CONTROL. . .DAMN RIGHT I WOULD. * - - - - - *

I went to three Christmas Plays in a row starting last Thursday. They are really fun to watch. Its fun to watch the kids making faces and other things.
It reminds me of many, many, many, many, years ago when I was in the 6th grade. My friend Herby and I played Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. I remember we came out from opposite side of the stage whistling.
Thats about all I can remember, but I know I didnt get any Oscar for the effort.

Attention, culture warriors: 'tis the season to be vigilant. An atheist group has plastered Santa-themed anti religion ads on Los Angeles buses. Retailers insist on greeting shoppers with a neutral "Happy holidays," despite threats of boycotts. And the annual ABC broadcast of A Charlie Brown Christmas was pre-empted by President Obama's address on Afghanistan. The war on Christmas is back. For decades, American conservatives have been warning of threats posed to the institution by a broad spectrum of foes. Henry Ford blamed Jews for the efforts to remove religious displays from public schools; in the McCarthy era, the John Birch Society sawthe holiday as the target of a vast communist conspiracy. Since the 1990s, a right-wing website has held an annual competition for the most egregious example of secularization. (Villains include the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which christened its year-end party "A Celebration of Holiday Traditions.") But it was really during this decade that the Yule Wars caught fire. Fox News host John Gibson's book The War on Christmas hit best-seller lists in 2005, the same year his colleague Bill O'Reilly called moves to tone down the holidays the first steps on a slippery slope toward "legalization of narcotics, euthanasia, abortion at will, gay marriage." In 2006 Chicago Tribune poll, 68% of respondents agreed that the holiday was under assault. But skeptics say rumors of a struggle against Santa are an overheated response to the excesses of political correctness, fanned by what commentator Max Blumenthal called a "ratings bonanza for right-wing media." The last to wage war on Christmas were probablythe Puritans, who in the 17th century banned Yuletide festivities on the grounds that they didn't square with Scripture. For a godless conspiracy, those are some pious roots. * - - - - - *SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE

Flashback: McCain Refused To Grant 30 Seconds Of Time During Iraq War Debate.
The other day, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), acting on the orders of the Senate leadership, refused to grant Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) “an additional moment” to continue speaking on the Senate floor after his 10 minutes expired. Franken’s objection caused Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to groan about how Franken’s move was unprofessional, unprecedented, and disrespectful: McCAIN: I’ve been around here 20-some years. First time I’ve ever seen a member denied an extra minute or two to finish his remarks. … I just haven’t seen it before myself. And I don’t like it. And I think it harms the comity of the Senate not to allow one of our members at least a minute. I’m sure that time is urgent here, but I doubt that it would be that urgent. Unfortunately, McCain’s memory is suffering. In fact, McCain has engaged in the very same behavior that he was criticizing Franken for yesterday. On October 10, 2002 — just ahead of the looming mid-term elections — the Senate rushed a debate on a war authorization giving President Bush the power to use force against Iraq. The resolution ultimately passed the Senate after midnight on an early Friday morning by a vote of 77-23. During the course of the frenzied floor debate, then-Sen. Mark Dayton (D-MN) spoke in favor of an amendment offered by Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) that would have restricted Bush’s constitutional powers to wage war against Iraq. After a minute and a half, Dayton ran out of time, prompting this exchange: The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator’s time has expired. Mr. DAYTON. I ask for unanimous consent that I have 30 seconds more to finish my remarks. Mr. McCAIN. I object. Byrd stepped in to grant Dayton time to finish his remarks. But just moments later, Byrd asked for more time to speak for himself. Again, McCain objected, prompting Byrd to chide him for doing so. “This shows the patience of a Senator,” Byrd said. “This clearly demonstrates that the train is coming down on us like a Mack truck, and we are not even going to consider a few extra minutes for this Senator.” After being publicly shamed, McCain acquiesced to Byrd’s request. But moments later, McCain added this disclaimer: “I wish to say very briefly that I understand people have a desire to speak. We have a number of Senators who have not spoken on this issue. It is already looking as if we may be here well into this evening. From now on, I will be adhering strictly to the rules.” In other words, he acted just like Franken did yesterday. * *DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

I wish Obama would now become more forceful and use his power...forget about trying to get along with the Republicans. That's an exercise in futility.
Do what he thinks is right and roll over everybody else. Bush certainly did that, only what he thought was right wasn't. But it was the attitude of the
"right"

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S WEEKLY SPEECH 12/19/2009 - - - - - - -
Weekly Address: The Patient's Bill of Rights and Health Reform:
The President looks back to the bipartisan Patient's Bill of Rights, a bill that was defeated in Congress at the hands of special interests and their supporters, and notes that health insurance reform covers the same ground and much more in terms of giving the consumers the upper hand over their insurance companies. He calls on the Senate to allow an up-or-down vote, and for those opposing reform to stop using parliamentary maneuvers to drag it out.WHILE YOU SLEPT. . .

JUST THE FACTS PLEASE
Steele was on Morning Joe yesterday. He took exception to a very good question. So I thought I'd show some of his gaffs. Maybe that's why he didn't want to answer the question.
THE FACTS: In Steele's own words. Steele, on the stimulus package. Steele once held the government job of being Maryland's Lt. Governor. "Not in the history of mankind has the government ever created a job." Steele, on the stimulus package. "... is just a wish list from a lot of people who have been on the sidelines for years.. to get a little bling, bling." Steele, on D.L. Hughley's show. "Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh — his whole thing is entertainment. He has this incendiary — yes, it's ugly." Steele, publicly apologizing to Limbaugh. "My intent was not to go after Rush - I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh. I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. ... There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership." Michael Steele, saying his feud and apology to Rush Limbaugh was planned. "I'm very introspective about things. I'm a cause-and-effect kind of guy. So if I do something, there's a reason for it... It may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, there is a logic behind it," he said. "I want to see what the landscape looks like. I want to see who yells the loudest. I want to know who says they're with me but really isn't." Steele, stating he is pro-choice in GQ. "Yeah. I mean, again, I think that’s an individual choice." Steele, backtracking from his pro-choice stance. "I am pro-life, always have been, always will be. I tried to present why I am pro-life while recognizing that my mother had a 'choice' before deciding to put me up for adoption." Steele in GQ, saying homosexuality in genetic. "Oh, no. I don’t think I’ve ever really subscribed to that view, that you can turn it on and off like a water tap. Um, you know, I think that there’s a whole lot that goes into the makeup of an individual that, uh, you just can’t simply say, oh, like, “Tomorrow morning I’m gonna stop being gay.” It’s like saying, “Tomorrow morning I’m gonna stop being black."

Over the years I seem to collect a lot of junk. As my hearing went south on me I would buy a new Amplified Telephone or Answer Machine from time to time until now I have about 10 phones and 6 machines. The old phones are now in a box in the garage. I tested each of the answer machines (without my hearing aid). I couldnt understand any of them. About two weeks ago someone suggested I look into using Qwest Voice Mail. I tried it out and have found it works great because I can use my Amplified Phone if I need it. Life is good again.

The comments came during an interview with conservative radio host Rusty Humphries, who asked Palin whether she planned to "make the birth certificate an issue" if she runs for president in 2012. "I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue," Palin said.Click on the image for a larger view.

Do you remember back a few years ago when the Dixie Checks said they were sorry Bush was from Texas and the right wing went crazy saying they were un-Americans, traitors and other such terms. Where are they now with Cheney spouting of his BULLSHIT.

Is it wrong yesterday when I first heard the news that the Lakewood cop killer had been shot dead in Seattle and I felt good all over? Back in late 1999 my mother in-law Lucille passed away. I few years before her husband Merl had passed away. They were from the "old generation" so they planned ahead. One of the things they did was to purchase two grave sites. Turns out they are both in one site leaving one empty. No one in the family wanted it so I said I'd take. Now I have a lot but have decided when I go I want to be cremated and no longer need this lot so I'm going to sell it for $1500.00. * - - - - - *TALKIN ASSWIPES
