Well that was fun! ! ! Yesterday I said I was going to setup my new HP TouchSmart PC to take the place of my old XP/PC that I've had forever. The HP has just one cable (power) and that's it. It took me about 10 minutes to unpack this guy and set it up. As part of this deal I also had to relocate my XP system. This guy has 3,000,000,000 cables and wires going everywhere. So I had to unplug, move the PC and replug in the cables again. Well as it turned out the OLD XP had a hiccup. It wouldn't reboot. When it did reboot my wireless mouse was frozen in the middle of the screen. The keyboard worked but if you ever had to use the key board in place of the mouse you know what a chore that is. In all I spent about 5 - 6 hours messing with that XP before it finally said that ok I'll start working. The big test was this morning when I turned it on this morning. It came right up. End of story. * - - - - - * Today I have another "HONEY DO" job, Can I say that to myself? Since I've moved down stars into my family room I don't know when someone is at the front door.

JUST A DOG OR ???
Two days later my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad's bed. I wrapped his still form in the rag rug he had slept on. As Dick and I buried him near a favorite fishing hole, I silently thanked the dog for the help he had given me in restoring Dad's peace of mind. The morning of Dad's funeral dawned overcast and dreary. This day looks like the way I feel, I thought, as I walked down the aisle to the pews reserved for family. I was surprised to see the many friends Dad and Cheyenne had made filling the church. The pastor began his eulogy. It was a tribute to both Dad and the dog who had changed his life. And then the pastor turned to Hebrews 13:2. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers." "I've often thanked God for sending that angel," he said. For me, the past dropped into place, completing a puzzle that I had not seen before: the sympathetic voice that had just read the right article. . . Cheyenne's unexpected appearance at the animal shelter. . . his calm acceptance and complete devotion to my father. . . and the proximity of their deaths And suddenly I understood. I knew that God had answered my prayers after all. Life is too short for drama & petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly. Live While You Are Alive. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time. And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares? But do share this with someone. Lost time can never be found. In lovinging memory of Billy.BUSHED

"Religion Is Killing The Republican Party" Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, who received piles of hate mail during the Presidential campaign for prominently tearing apart Sarah Palin's credentials, has written a column for the Washington Post which also seems likely to court internecine criticism. The piece, entitled, "Giving Up on God," makes a sustained argument that the GOP's courting of the religious vote above all has led the party dangerously astray. As Republicans sort out the reasons for their defeat, they likely will overlook or dismiss the gorilla in the pulpit. To be more specific, the evangelical, right-wing, oogedy-boogedy branch of the GOP is what ails the erstwhile conservative party and will continue to afflict and marginalize its constituents if reckoning doesn't soon cometh. Simply put: Armband religion is killing the Republican Party. And, the truth -- as long as we're setting ourselves free -- is that if one were to eavesdrop on private conversations among the party intelligentsia, one would hear precisely that. * - - - - - *
War hero v. draft dodging, recovering drug addict Rush Limbaugh.
"We are educated by the great entertainers like Rush Limbaugh," Hagel said Tuesday during a speech in Washington, according to the Huffington Post.
"You know, I wish Rush Limbaugh and others like that would run for office," a sarcastic Hagel continued. "They have so much to contribute and so much leadership and they have an answer for everything. And they would be elected overwhelmingly. [The truth is] they try to rip everyone down and make fools of everybody but they don't have any answers."

JUST A DOG OR ???
As the words sank in I turned to the man in horror. "You mean you're going to kill him?" "Ma'am," he said gent ly, "that's our policy. We don't have room for every unclaimed dog." I looked at the pointer again. The calm brown eyes awaited my decision "I'll take him," I said. I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. When I reached the house I honked the horn twice. I was helping my prize out of the car when Dad shuffled onto the front porch. "Ta-da! Look what I got for you, Dad!" I said excitedly. Dad looked, then wrinkled his face in disgust. "If I had wanted a dog I would have gotten one. And I would have picked out a better specimen than that bag of bones. Keep it! I don't want it" Dad waved his arm scornfully and turned back toward the house. Anger rose inside me. It squeezed together my throat muscles and pounded into my temples. "You'd better get used to him, Dad. He's staying!" Dad ignored me. "Did you hear me, Dad?" I screamed. At those words Dad whirled angrily, his hands clenched at his sides, his eyes narrowed and blazing with hate. We stood glaring at each other like duelists, when suddenly the pointer pulled free from my grasp. He wobbled toward my dad and sat down in front of him. Then slowly, carefully, he raised his paw. Dad's lower jaw trembled as he stared at the uplifted paw. Confusion replaced the anger in his eyes. The pointer waited patiently. Then Dad was on his knees hugging the animal. It was the beginning of a warm and intimate friendship. Dad named the pointer Cheyenne. Together he and Cheyenne explored the community. They spent long hours walking down dusty lanes. They spent reflective moments on the banks of streams, angling for tasty trout. They even started to attend Sunday services together, Dad sitting in a pew and Cheyenne lying quietly at his feet. Dad and Cheyenne were inseparable throughout the next three years. Dad's bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne made many friends. Then late one night I was startled to feel Cheyenne's cold nose burrowing through our bed covers. He had never before come into our bedroom at night. I woke Dick, put on my robe and ran into my father's room. Dad lay in his bed, his face serene. But his spirit had left quietly sometime during the night.BUSHED

The dog.
My husband, Dick, and I asked Dad to come live with us on our small farm. We hoped the fresh air and rustic atmosphere would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. It seemed nothing was satisfactory. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated and moody. Soon I was taking my pent-up anger out on Dick. We began to bicker and argue. Alarmed, Dick sought out our pastor and explained the situation. The clergyman set up weekly counseling appointments for us. At the close of each session he prayed, asking God to soothe Dad's troubled mind. But the months wore on and God was silent. Something had to be done and it was up to me to do it. The next day I sat down with the phone book and methodically called each of the mental health clinics listed in the Yellow Pages. I explained my problem to each of the sympathetic voices that answered. In vain. Just when I was giving up hope, one of the voices suddenly exclaimed, "I just read something that might help you! Let me go get the article." I listened as she read. The article described a remarkable study done at a nursing home. All of the patients were under treatment for chronic depression. Yet their attitudes had improved dramatically when they were given responsibility for a dog. I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. After I filled out a questionnaire, a uniformed officer led me to the kennels. The odor of disinfectant stung my nostrils as I moved down the row of pens. Each contained five to seven dogs. Long-haired dogs, curly-haired dogs, black dogs, spotted dogs, trying to reach me. I studied each one but rejected one after the other for various reasons too big, too small, too much hair. As I neared the last pen a dog in the sh adows of the far corner struggled to his feet, walked to the front of the run and sat down. It was a pointer, one of the dog world's aristocrats. But this was a caricature of the breed. Years had etched his face and muzzle with shades of gray. His hipbones jutted out in lopsided triangles. But it was his eyes that caught and held my attention. Calm and clear, they beheld me unwaveringly. I pointed to the dog. "Can you tell me about him?" The officer looked, then shook his head in puzzlement. "He's a funny one. Appeared out of nowhere and sat in front of the gate. We brought him in, figuring someone would be right down to claim him. That was two weeks ago and we've heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow." He gestured helplessly.DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

The Dog
Watch out! You nearly broad sided that car!" My father yelled at me. "Can't you do anything right?" Those words hurt worse than blows. I turned my head toward the elderly man in the seat beside me, daring me to challenge him. A lump rose in my throat as I averted my eyes. I wasn't prepared for another battle. "I saw the car, Dad. Please don't yell at me when I'm driving." My voice was measured and steady, sounding far calmer than I really felt. Dad glared at me, then turned away and settled back. At home I left Dad in front of the television and went outside to collect my thoughts. Dark, heavy clouds hung in the air with a promise of rain. The rumble of distant thunder seemed to echo my inner turmoil. What could I do about him? Dad had been a lumberjack in Washington and Oregon. He had enjoyed being outdoors and had reveled in pitting his strength against the forces of nature. He had entered grueling lumberjack competitions, and had placed often. The shelves in his house were filled with trophies that attested to his prowess. The years marched on relentlessly. The first time he couldn't lift a heavy log, he joked about it; but later that same day I saw him outside alone, straining to lift it. He became irritable whenever anyone teased him about his advancing age, or when he couldn't do something he had done as a younger man. Four days after his sixty-seventh birthday, he had a heart attack. An ambulance sped him to the hospital while a paramedic administered CPR to keep blood and oxygen flowing. At the hospital, Dad was rushed into an operating room. He was lucky; he survived. But something inside Dad died. His zest for life was gone. He obstinately refused to follow doctor's orders. Suggestions and offers of help were turned aside with sarcasm and insults. The number of visitors thinned, then finally stopped altogether. Dad was left alone.DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

This GM, Ford and Chrysler bailout gives me mixed feelings. I think back to the early 70's when we lived in San Diego and we had a big gas shortage problem. We owned a BIG (at that time) Ford Country Squire Station Wagon. It was a great car but the fear at the time was that we wouldn't be able to get the gas to run it. Today the fear is that we won't be able to afford gas. Back then we decided to buy a smaller car a Honda Station Wagon. It was a yellow 1973-4 model. Here is a picture but this is the coupe, but it's close.
The big three didn't see the writing on the wall. As I recall they made a small shift in trying to build smaller more fuel efficient cars it didn't last. The gas crisis was over and so they went back to building bigger and bigger cars.
The Japanese on the other hand continued to develop their smaller cars.
Fuel efficiency has NOT improved that much in the 35 years since that first big scare.
If we are to help the big three we need strings. Top pay needs to be limited, no golden parachutes, pay for performance should be the rule from top to bottom.
Fuel efficiency must improve at a great rate each year. Green cars and electric cars must be the primary model. Big SUV's will not be the primary source of revenue.
That's my take.

With Sen. John McCain returning to the campaign trail on Thursday on stump for Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss in his runoff race in Georgia, Democrats are reminding voters and donors of a controversial ad aired by Chambliss in the heated final weeks of the 2002 campaign that shows pictures of Democratic Sen. Max Cleland, a triple-amputee from wounds suffered during his service in Vietnam, just after shots of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. "I'd never seen anything like that ad," McCain said at the time of the spot, which was widely condemned by Democrats. Putting pictures of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden next to the picture of a man who left three limbs on the battlefield is "worse than disgraceful," said McCain. "It's reprehensible."

Congressman makes Obama/Hitler comparison. Nov. 11: In July, Barack Obama proposed a civilian reserve corps that would help rebuild infrastructure in the event of a national emergency. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., today's Worst Person in the World, claims that Obama is attempting to rebuild the Gestapo as a precedent to building a dictatorship. * *DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a special gift -- a new car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

ONE LAST THING
PROPOSITION EIGHT IN CALIFORNIA
Finally tonight as promised, a Special Comment on the passage, last week, of Proposition Eight in California, which rescinded the right of same-sex couples to marry, and tilted the balance on this issue, from coast to coast.
Some parameters, as preface. This isn't about yelling, and this isn't about politics, and this isn't really just about Prop-8. And I don't have a personal investment in this: I'm not gay, I had to strain to think of one member of even my very extended family who is, I have no personal stories of close friends or colleagues fighting the prejudice that still pervades their lives. * *TOP TEN

BUSHED
Keith Olbermann has listed the various scandles in the Bush administration. Here are three more.
Who's benefitting from the bailout? Nov. 10: In September the Bush administration repealed a 22-year-old tax law, Section 382, allowing banks that merge a windfall profit of as much as $140 billion. Countdown's Keith Olbermann talks about how that repeal was snuck into the bailout bill, as well as the Federal Reserved refusing to identify recipients of emergency loans in the bailout. * *WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Keith Olbermann picks the three worst persons in the world.
Bill-O botches blame (again). Nov. 10: Fox News' Bill O'Reilly made the ACLU the latest target of his anger for not speaking out about the probe into Joe the Plumber's personal information. In Worst Person in the World, Keith Olbermann points out that the ACLU did, in fact, issue a statement that must have gone unnoticed by O'Reilly. * *DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
DR. PHIL: This chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.

Bachman suddenly an Obama supporter. After Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., became infamous for calling for investigations of anti-Americanism in Congress and Barack Obama in particular, she now speaks as though she's been an Obama supporter all along. Keith Olbermann names her the Wors
