| TIDBITS HOW TO PREPARE FOR A PUPPY *Pour cold apple juice on the carpet in several places and walk around barefoot in the dark. *Wear a sock to work that has had the toes shredded by a blender. *Immediately upon waking, stand outside in the rain and dark saying, "be a good puppy and go potty-hurry up now- come on, let's go! *Cover all your best suits with dog hair. Dark suits must have white and light suits must have dark. Also float some hair in your first cup of morning coffee. *Play catch with a wet tennis ball. *Run out in the snow in your bare feet to close the gate *Tip over a basket of clean laundry, scatter clothing all over the floor. *Leave your underwear on the living room floor, because that is where the dog will drag it anyway (especially when you have company). *Jump out of your chair shortly before the end of your favorite TV show and run to the door shouting, "No NO! Do that OUTSIDE!" Miss the end of the program. *Gouge the leg of the dining room table several times with a screwdriver. *Put chocolate pudding on the carpet in the morning, and do not try to clean it up until you return from work that evening. *Take a warm, cuddly blanket out of the dryer and immediately wrap it around yourself.

San Francisco Mayor Continues to Amuse
With a smirk worthy of the Grinch, I rub my hands with glee over this San Francisco mess with the mayor and his mistress.
They say politics is Hollywood for ugly people but SF Mayor Gavin Newsom is NOT, definitely NOT, ugly.
The beleaguered Mayor does, however, have some baggage. First, allow me to salute Mayor Newsom for bringing, single-handedly, heterosexual sex BACK to San Francisco!
Although, ahem, dearest Mayor Newsom, dear Lord, you slept with your deputy-chief-of-staff turned campaign-manager's WIFE? All covered HERE on this Blog, as soon as it happened and with all appropriate prurient details.
But it gets better! This tidbit coming out of San Francisco really tweaks the grins and smirks.
For Ruby Tourk, wife of Newsom's former friend and campaign manager, evidently once had a drinking problem. She received treatment requiring a 3-month leave. San Francisco does not permit paid leave for substance abuse BUT, get this, other employees can DONATE their accumulated paid leave to other employees if they so desire.
So if my own fine self had months of accumulated paid leave but decided to "give" it to another employee, well I could do this.
Okay, there's about twenty or thirty things wrong with this picture.
First, this type of thing USED to be done regularly in businesses across the fruited plain. Says me, a former payroll expert, that's who sez.
Of course I've never lived in California but I HAVE paid plenty of California employees via my job with a government contractor. No, uh-uh, I really don't think this is done in California in general but it could be something unique to the municipality of San Francisco.
The "trading off" of leave time was removed from most Human Resource policies because of its intrinsic unfairness. First, Joe Blow in Accounting might make ten bucks less an hour than Jane Doe in Information Systems. Thus he would not be giving Jane Doe leave hours at the same rate as if Jane Doe had it in own leave bank. And since very few people make exactly the same money, leave sharing is very difficult to administer and can literally break a business that allows the practice. This sort of thing was more common in hospitals than in any other business for which I've worked through the years. In order to get it out of use, many hospitals had to outright "buy" unused leave time from employees or grandfather them in to a new system.
It's just not done all that much is what I'm saying here and I really doubt it's done in San Fran either. At least not as cut and dried as they make it sound.
But if the practice is still allowed, WHO gave Mayor Newsom's mistress the leave time? Could it have been Mayor Newsom himself? If so, seriously, does the Mayor accrue leave time? Damn but I doubt it.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven. It stinks so bad I can smell it all the way here in Delaware. It stinks and it will continue to stink because I don't believe a word of it. It's all a lie. That big payment paid to Newsom's mistress from taxpayer funds was a bribe and nothing less.
From Yahoo.com:
The city attorney is investigating whether Mayor Gavin Newsom's former mistress should have received thousands of dollars in sick pay after leaving her job as a City Hall secretary.
City Attorney Dennis Herrera said privacy rules prevented him from disclosing why Ruby Rippey-Tourk received the lump-sum payment of more than $10,000 retroactively covering three months of leave she took last year for substance abuse treatment.
First GOP Presidential Debate Set
The 2008 presidential election campaign has already started which means our ears will be treated to the lies of would-be presidents for the next almost two years.
Invitations have been sent out to GOP presidential nominee hopefuls for a debate in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. You can get tickets to the debate HERE. and can submit questions to the candidates HERE.
So far no one has accepted the invitation but if this goes live, we should be treated to debates by the GOP nominees as early as May of this year.
From Ventura County Star.com:
Ventura County could soon be center stage in the national presidential race.
Ten GOP presidential hopefuls, including former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., have been invited by former first lady Nancy Reagan to a May 3 presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.
Moonbat Meeting
I do apologize if this notice is too late for yon Moonbat readers. For there is planned a national meeting for all the Moonbats who think our own government orchestrated the attacks of 9-11-01.
From AZStarnet.com:
MESA - Hundreds of people who believe the government has lied about the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States plan to gather in Chandler later this week to strategize about how to find out the truth.
The 9/11 Accountability: Strategies and Solutions Conference will be held Friday through Sunday at the Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort in Chandler. The conference will include keynote speakers, panel discussions, strategy workshops and a documentary film marathon.
Sorry I didn't get this notice up earlier for any Moonbats who missed the meeting.
Just imagine, a whole bunch of Moonbats all in one place. Oh the possibilities.
The Bush Family and the Curse of the Moles
I don't know what's going on up there in the White House but this is the second story regarding the removal of stuff on the skin. Laura Bush had something removed from her legs recently, I believe it was also a mole. Now we hear Bush had two moles removed from his face.
From Yahoo.com:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A doctor removed two moles from President George W. Bush's left temple on Friday and they were believed to be benign, a White House spokesman said.
Now I don't get it. Moles are moles, right? I am very partial to moles, understand, as I spent a full 25 years of my life with a great big mole right below my left eye. When I was a child it was called a "beauty mark" and considered very desireable. But I was a kid and kids will make fun of anything. Which is why I grew up with the nickname "mole face".
I had that "beauty mark" removed once I was old enough to do so and the oddity is that most of the people closest to me in my life have never seen me with that big mole on my face, including my daughter and husband. Very few pictures exist with me and the mole as well. I used to deliberately turn the side of my face with the mole away from any camera aimed my way.
I hated the thing.
Still, it was a mole and God loved me so much he blessed me with a plethora of such moles all over my body. Now that I am ageing, as people do, I find I am getting even MORE moles all about dear Lord it must be genetic or something.
Still again, go with me folks, they're just MOLES. Of course I know that moles can signal skin cancer and I suppose this is why the First Couple have these growths removed with a resignation. Although moles don't spread or anything, do they?
Anyway, being a person "blessed" with moles, the story of Mr. and Mrs. Bush's bout with their own moles piqued my curiousity and humor.
The Democratic "Slow Bleed" Strategy
Let me state right here that the reason why the Democratic party in this country so desperately wants America to lose this war in Iraq is an eternal puzzlement to me. Sure the pundits, especially Rush Limbaugh, all speculate that the Dems are heavily invested in America losing the Iraq war as this will somehow bring them to power.
I figure that Democrats are Americans too, right? I mean, I may not like them all that much but we are all on the same team, right? Surely the Democrats don't want American soldiers dying for no reason, right?
The Dems will NOT cast a vote to cut off all funding for the Iraq war because, well they're cowards and they know the American people won't look kindly on a political party essentially orchestrating a loss during a war. Which is what the Dems are doing, folks, and they're struggling to do it under the political radar and still I don't understand why they want us to LOSE this war. Ladies and gems, there's just a few hot spots in Iraq right now and it's only a bunch of gangland type hoodlums mucking up things. Do you really think the American army can't put an end to this?
So Bush plans a so-called "surge" and it's working. So the Dems aren't satisfied because, again, they WANT us to lose the war. The Dems new plan? Choke the army and hamstring our soldiers by attaching all sorts of requirements to the funds for the war; funds that only congress can authorize.
From Politico.com:
Top House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups, have decided against using congressional power to force a quick end to U.S. involvement in Iraq, and instead will pursue a slow-bleed strategy designed to gradually limit the administration's options.
Led by Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Pa., and supported by several well-funded anti-war groups, the coalition's goal is to limit or sharply reduce the number of U.S. troops available for the Iraq conflict, rather than to openly cut off funding for the war itself.
Hey, it's a methodology and it might work. This Murtha character is front and center with what is called the "slow-bleed" strategy to make America lose the war.
The way it works, instead of doing the brave thing and having a straight "yes" or "nay" vote to cut funding for the war, Murtha as head of the Armed forces committee or some such, will put so many restrictions on the funds that the army will be unable to meet the requirements. Thus the funding for the war, or so the strategy goes, will essentially be cut off without the damnation of publicly voting to lose the war.
John Murtha is one disgusting and doddering old fool. If you want to see the essence of John Murtha, check out this Blog HERE. It's a video of the ABSCAM scandal from waaaaay back in the 70's. The REAL John Murtha is on full and blantant display in this recently released video and imagine how much worse he's gotten through the years.
In fact, there have been whispers by many over this past week about Murtha's mental state. Brit Hume went on a mini-rampage on Fox News recently about Murtha and how the man is so out-of-touch with reality it's frightening. Imagine an American congressman taped openly and with great pride, plotting to undermine the American army in time of war, proudly uttering "We can bleed them slow, they won't be able to function", as I paraphrase.
And hey, Speaker Pelosi's going along with it! Well I'm not surprised. Pelosi too hates America...hey she represents San Francisco and we all know how typically American that city is.
This sort of thing is going to implode on the Dems I swear to you folks. Sooner or later the soccer Mom is going to realize just what these Dems are doing. With a Democrat senile congress critter and homo-loving House Speaker leading the way to America's defeat.
What the hell happened to my country?
Hollywood Goes Bananas for Obama!
I can't think of any political story I've enjoyed for a long time as the story of Hollywood's unceremonious overthrow of the vaunted Clinton duo for that young upstart, Barack Obama.
From BBC.com:
A host of Hollywood celebrities have donated $1.3m (£664,000) to Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign at a lavish fund-raiser in Los Angeles.
Not that I especially like Obama being that he's only been in politics for a couple of years or so. Thus he is entirely too inexperienced to run a big country like America. But I'd vote for Obama over Hillary although it'd likely be quite cold in hell before I voted for either of these Liberals.
So the Hollywood elite has begun embracing Obama and it looks like Hillary and her sexy husband are getting back-stabbed. This past week, music mogul Dave Geffin stated publicly that the Clintons lied amazingly well.
Yes they do, Mr. Geffin. We're sure Obama probably lies too. But like you said, all politicians lie. Also like you said, the Clintons lie as if born to it.
Yeah, I'd rather have Obama over Hillary if it comes to that. So I root Hollywood on. Go Obama!
