Hey, I Heard The World is Upset With Their Governments

Pittsburgh State of Mind

Anyone who genuinely and constantly with both hands


looks for something, will find it.



Though you are lame and bent over, keep moving

toward the Friend. With speech, with silence,

...with snifling about, stay on the track.



Whenever some kindness comes to you, turn

that way, toward the source of kindness.



Love-things originate in the ocean.

Restlessness leads to rest.

Rocco excitedly tells his mother he's fallen in love and that he is

He says, 'Just for fun, Ma, I'm going to bring over 3 women and you try

and guess which one I'm going to marry.'



The mother agrees.



The next day, he brings three beautiful women into the house and sits

them down on the couch and they chat for a while.



He then says, 'Okay, Ma, guess which one I'm going to marry.'



She immediately replies, 'The one on the right.'



'That's amazing, Ma!



You're right.



How did you know??????'



The Italian mother replied:



'I don't like her.'

‎(ron) No, it wasn't people taking out mortgages they couldn't afford - as if we are supposed to rely on keeping the economy stable by hoping people don't apply for more loan than they can afford. It was - surprise! - not regulating derivatives, erratic responses by the Bush admin, and regulators ignoring the evidence right in front of their eyes.

A Congressional inquiry said bankers and regulators could have seen the 2008 crisis coming and stopped it.

Walking in Pittsburgh - Tim Ruff

You Might Be A Republican If…


By Bruce Lindner



You Might be a Republican If……….



1) You believe George W. Bush’s redistribution of middle-class tax cuts to the top 1% of tax-payers was good for America, but Obama’s plan to return it to the middle class is ‘socialism.’



2) You believe stem cells are living human beings, but thousands of Iraqi children are ‘expendable collateral damage.’



3) You believe tax cuts for billionaires is a great idea, yet you wonder why the economy has stalled, your job just got outsourced to India, and oil company executives receive $400,000,000.00 retirement packages.



4) You believe the surge worked because the violence in Iraq is back to 2006 levels, which is only horrible, compared to what it was in 2007; intolerable. Besides, Brit Hume said so.



5) You think trial lawyers are harmful to America, yet you support prosecuting some guy in Muncie Indiana who burned his 99¢ American flag that was made in China by forced child labor.



6) You’re all for the ‘rule of law’ when it’s applied to Bill Clinton for lying about his infidelity, but not for prosecuting Karl Rove and Scooter Libby for committing treason.



7) You think George W. Bush is actually a really smart guy, but his folksy manner just makes him seem dumber than he really is.



You believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own, and that those who are born to poverty and never have opportunities for advancement, got what they deserved.



9) You believe Ronald Reagan was a great president who had complete control of all aspects of government, but the Iran-Contra Affair was an insignificant scandal that went on without his knowledge.



10) You believe Democrats tax and spend, but George W. Bush was a fiscal conservative.



11) You believe Oliver North, who was CONVICTED of perjury, obstruction of justice, destroying evidence and accepting bribes, is a patriot. But John Kerry, who saved a man’s life while under enemy fire in Vietnam is a coward.



12) You believe George W. Bush kept us safe from terror, and the failure to prevent the 9/11 attacks were Clinton’s fault.



13) You actually believe Fox News is fair & balanced.



14) You still believe Saddam had truckloads of WMDs, and that he somehow managed to sneak them into Syria, right under our noses.



15) You believe Terri Schiavo was sentient all along, and Bill Frist had the ability to diagnose her condition by watching a 5 second video of her sleeping.



16) You’re in favor of stronger prison sentences for drug users, yet your favorite radio personality is Rush Limbaugh.



17) You complain about having to press 1 for English, yet you hire undocumented workers to mow your lawn because they’re cheaper than hiring the kid next door.



18) Homosexuality is abhorrent to you, except when a Republican senator, the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, and a planted White House journalist get caught having sexual affairs with gay men. Then you suddenly feel sorry for them.



19) The war in Iraq makes perfect sense to you, but any suggestion by Barack Obama that we target al Qaeda specifically is ‘dangerous and reckless.’



20) You don’t mind that president Bush tortured men who were never charged with a crime, yet you’re horrified by the wrath of al Qaeda when they capture one of our guys.



21) You believe the 1/10 of 1% of scientists who claim global warming is a hoax, and reject the 99.9% who say it’s real, because Sean Hannity and his friends in the oil industry have convinced you that science is a part of a greater liberal conspiracy.



22) You believe patriotism means you should support your government right or wrong … unless a Democrat’s in power, then it’s your patriotic duty to call him a closet Muslim, challenge his birth certificate, expose his sex life and impeach him.



23) You’re proud of your party’s ‘culture of life.’ Yet you support the death penalty for minors, you believe 600,000 dead Iraqis is justified because one of them was Saddam Hussein, and you oppose confronting the genocide in Darfur because they don’t have oil.



24) You support prayer in school, as long as your kids aren’t subjected to Muslim prayers.



25) You think Darwin’s theory of evolution is a loony fairy tale, and mankind actually began with two naked teenagers, a magic apple and a talking snake.



26) You think $35 billion spent on health care for children is a waste of taxpayer’s money, but $1.7 trillion spent on a catastrophic war that has isolated us from our allies, decimated our economy and made us less safe was money well spent.



27) You believe embargoing communist Cuba is sound foreign policy, but trading with China is just good business.



28) You believe Bill Clinton was an immoral cad, but Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were faithful husbands (and Larry Craig just has a wide stance).



29) You fervently defend the Constitution, but when president Bush got caught monitoring 300 million phones without a warrant, politicizing our justice system, hyping evidence for going to war and pardoning a convicted perjurer who just happened to be on his staff, then it’s okay, because he was ‘protecting America.’



30) You were outraged when a gallon of gasoline went from $1.29 to $1.40 during the two terms of the Clinton presidency, but you didn’t seem to mind when prices tripled under George W. Bush, the “oil man.”



31) You were furious when Bill Clinton pardoned international commodities trader Marc Rich, who was convicted of tax evasion, but applauded when George W. Bush exonerated Scooter Libby for obstructing justice to protect Dick Cheney from a treason indictment.



32) With no evidence whatsoever, you complained of ‘voter fraud,’ and demanded that thousands of blacks be scrubbed from voting lists during the 2004 election in Ohio, yet when Rush Limbaugh asked his audience to illegally claim to be Democrats and vote for Hillary Clinton during the Ohio Primary in February to “stir up trouble,” a FELONY, you were okay with that.



33) You believe Barack Obama should be held accountable for every sermon that Jeremiah Wright ever gave, but John McCain, who sought the endorsement of anti-Semitic, xenophobic, openly racist and homophobic pastors should be given a pass.



34) You believe Barack Obama is either a secret Muslim, was actually born in Kenya, and his parents forged a fake birth certificate when he was born – just in case he should ever run for president, or that his father’s nationality disqualifies his son from being president, all because you read that on the Internet.



35) You believe the 8 consecutive years of prosperity and strong economic growth from 1993 – 2001 was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, but today’s recession is all Clinton’s and Obama’s fault.



36) You laugh at how much better Barack Obama speaks with a TelePrompTer than without one, yet you never mention the fact that even with a TelePrompTer, every time George Bush opened his mouth, gibberish tumbled out.



37) You still believe Barack Obama has somehow succeeded in fooling every government and independent examination with his “obviously Photoshopped” documents. Instead, you rely on Internet gossip, WorldNetDaily and Jerome Corsi as your sources for “truth.”



38) Your conservative media spent more air time discussing Michelle Obama touching the queen of England’s arm than on the economy, the environment, terrorism and health care combined.



39) You believe that we should get out of Afghanistan because Obama is “nation building,” yet for eight straight years of Bush’s bumbling incompetence there, you kept mum. Therefore, attacking Iraq makes sense, even though they never threatened us, but finishing off the job of finding Osama bin Laden; the terrorist who killed 3,000 Americans — Bush’s original task — is a dumb idea.



40) You were furious that Barack Obama admitted in France that Americans have occasionally been “arrogant, dismissive and derisive,” but you cheered them on when Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld were arrogant, dismissive and derisive.



41) You believe that Obama’s $3.6 trillion budget is an outrage, but never once complained that George Bush turned Bill Clinton’s $300 billion surplus into a $1.3 trillion deficit. And it never once occurred to you that Bush deliberately omitted the Iraq and Afghanistan wars from those statistics, which means Bush’s TRUE deficit was $3.1 trillion.



42) You supported Gov. Sarah Palin, partly because you believed she kept a good Christian home. This, despite the fact that her seventeen year old unmarried daughter was knocked up, her son was accused of vandalizing 44 school buses (cutting the brake lines of school buses – HELLO!!?) and was given the choice of going to jail or join the military, and Palin herself was found guilty of abusing the power of her office. But Barack Obama can’t possibly be a true Christian, because his father was a Muslim, and his middle name is Hussein. (Besides, he’s black, and everybody knows that Jesus was a blond haired blue eyed white man.)



43) You believe the only solution to gun violence is to make sure everybody is armed to the teeth. That way, when some crazy person goes on a killing spree, right-thinking people will take out the killer, and tranquility will prevail throughout the land.



44) You believe the mainstream news anchors are crazy, biased and filled with hate, but Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are rational, accurate and informative.



45) You defend Rush Limbaugh’s right to wish for Obama to fail, and therefore, the failure of our republic, yet you call Democrats the “blame America first crowd.”



46) You claim that the economic crisis is the fault of the Democrats, but never mention that it was the Reagan administration that massively deregulated the banking industry in 1982, and it was Phil Gramm – McCain’s choice for economic advisor – who completed the task for his pals in the banking industry in 1999.



47) You believe the failure of the US automobile industry is primarily the fault of the unions, and not because management of the three corporations insisted on producing vehicles that nobody wanted. And you’re angry with the $28.00 per hour average wage of the work force, but you believe that the multimillion dollar salaries of the men who bankrupted the industry are perfectly reasonable.



48) You believe Barack Obama is a “narcissistic megalomaniac,” because you heard Glenn Beck call him that once, but Beck himself is a humble man, concerned only for your welfare (brought to you by Goldline!).



49) You believe anybody who doesn’t subscribe to Orly Taitz’ birther movement is a RINO, and those who do, are carrying the torch of Reaganism.



50) You think this list is mean-spirited and biased, and even though you privately acknowledge to yourself that it’s all true, you believe the Democrats are just as bad. Here’s a bulletin: Nobody has ever been this bad.

Recent Presidents Who Increased the National Debt

from my uncle gabe:




To all my Italian friends in heritage and at heart!






Italian Loan:

An Italian walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan

officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Italy on business for

two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the

bank.



The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for

the loan, so the Italian handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was

parked on the street in front of the bank.



The Italian produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer

agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having

to charge 12% interest.



Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at

the Italian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan.



Then the employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground

garage and parked it.



Two weeks later, the Italian returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest

of $23.07. The loan officer said, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your

business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a

little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you

are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow

$5,000?'



The Italian replied: 'Minga! Where else in New York City can I park my car

for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?'





FRIENDS: Never ask for food.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Always bring the food..



FRIENDS: Will say 'hello'.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss.



FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mom and Dad.



FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Cry with you.



FRIENDS: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing, and just being

together.



FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you.



FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowd's back-ends that left you.



FRIENDS: Will knock on your door.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, 'I'm home!'

FRIENDS: Will visit you in the hospital when you're sick

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Will cut your grass and clean your house then come spend

the night with you in the hospital.



FRIENDS: Are for a while.

ITALIAN FRIENDS: Are for life.



FRIENDS: Might ignore this.

ITALIAN FRIENDS will forward this to their ITALIAN friends and those who

wish they were ITALIAN...*

another case of DOMESTIC terrorism and i'd bet heavy money the person or persons the built that backpack bomb were white and non-muslim.

anyway- it's a cold, rainy, icky, CRAPPY pittsburgh grey winter's day. i'm hoping i can get my haircut this week. it's about 2 inches too long and i want it short!  yes, you can tell the winter's getting on my last nerve and it isn't even CLOSE to spring yet!

my sister got me the dune trilogy for my birthday- i had 3 very old paperbacks from well over 20 years ago that were too old to really reread again without the pages coming loose. i love those first 3 dune books. i'm not a big sci-fi fan but DUNE, rocks. it's the best sci-fi book i think, ever written. far far far better than the movie.
so, i'm halfway thru the 1st. book. i used to be able to read very very fast and had great retention. i think i developed those skills without even knowing to counter act the effects of a weird type of dyslexia i have BUT  a year on fucking reglan took that skill away from me and for years i could hardly read a newspaper article in one sitting or retain what i had read. that and a few concussions really slowed me down. I am reading better now and faster especially when the book is an old love like this one is.

other than that-nothing new. the birds and the squirrels and the rest of the critters and i are just waiting for spring!!!

sun's out. ice is melting in big drops from my gutters.
my brother-in law is still in rehabilitation. still has good and bad days-sometimes in the same day!
he is moving in bed better. he asked for a piece of my chocolate birthday cake so i sent him a big piece. he really can't eat much but he asked and i hope he could manage a bit of it.

decided to try to dust in the living room and rid up the kitchen. put a load of clothes in the washer and i'm hoping the advil kicks in soon!
i can't wait til we can finish the bathroom and scrub this whole place down. hurry spring!

The Cracked Pot




A water bearer had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the House, the cracked pot arrived only half full.



For two f...ull years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.



After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.



The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw. So I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house??



EACH of us has our own unique flaws. We are ALL cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Remember to appreciate all the different people in your life.

He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well'."
