Happy New Year!

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year celebration! I'll be sitting home with a sick husband...he is so sick and on top of that he quit smoking 6 days ago. It's been just as hard on me if ya can believe that! :) No, he does not think that is funny...damn, the guy is one miserable son of a bitch and I'm gonna need the wine leftover from Christmas plus beer to get thru this night!  He's complaining about the TV programing, the food we don't have, my cooking, anything and everything! He wants pancakes for breakfast cuz he hates my fried eggs, I can't cook an egg to save my life, never could he says...Well sorry buddy, we have NO pancake mix!  I was told to order a pizza because my hamburgers are not juicy, or something to that effect....oh well, pizza, beer, wine, chips, dip, cheese, crackers, and a crabby old man...Happy New Year to ME!! :)  AND TO YOU!!


OBAMA 2012!!!

Hi Bloggy Friends,

 I have missed all of you!
We laid Mom to rest yesterday, it was cold and rainy, but the service was very nice. I held it together for Amelia's sake, she has seen enough crying in her short life and I didn't want her to see me cry that day....she didn't know why we were there, she was just looking forward to a "party" with her cousins! She hasn't asked about Mimi and why her stuff is all packed up in her room, she just looked around today and on the wall where Mom's teddy bear shelf used to hang ...she asked if she could have the little hot air balloon with the tiny dog hanging from it in his tiny basket...I think my sister made it years ago and Mom treasured it, now Amelia will treasure it...She's been running through the house playing with it all day, not a care in the world. I'm so thankful I have her to make me laugh and smile every day! Kim and Drew found a house to rent right up the street from me, so the little turd will be at Gamm Gamms all the time! :)


2012 is gonna be a BIG year huh?? Already gearing up to be a landslide victory for President Obama! That's my prediction, you can bet on it!  I'm not here to talk politics, just wanted to check on everybody and assure you I will be back in rare form for the new year, reading all your terrific blogs and doing some ranting of my own!

 Have a wonderful Christmas, or whichever holiday you celebrate, and make it memorable! Have a Happy New Year too!

Love and Peace, Sue

Rest in Peace Mom...

My dear Mother passed away last night.... Love you Mom!

Money, Military, and fuck the Middle Class...

For years the Republicans have argued tax cuts pay for themselves...an example most glaring would be the astronomical Bush tax cuts. These tax cuts don't have to be paid for, the benefits outweigh the cost they said...BUT have they paid for themselves?? NO...And who benefited from the tax cuts??  We've all seen the charts.....

NOW the Teapublicans are demanding ALL tax cuts be paid for, like the payroll tax cuts that will benefit the middle class. This IS a tax cut that will stimulate the economy and eventually pay for itself....But tax the billionaires?? Are you insane?? How can you raise taxes on the super wealthy in a slow economy??  Sadly people still fall for it...

And these idiots still have a following,  they're still  able to convince their sheeple they know how to govern!  Get real people, the GOP craves power for 2 reasons, to benefit themselves and the 1%, and to keep our country number one super power in the world. ...Money and Military....

And to the rest of us they say get fucked and die, we really aren't needed...we just take up space and cost too much....

Fuck You Republicans!!

After this week, and all those evil GOP'ers spewing their hate and throwing around the APPEASEMENT word, I wanna throw around the Fuck word with this beloved song...enjoy!!

President Obama goes to Kansas!

Tuesday, December 6th, President Obama will be visiting the state of my birth, Kansas. He'll be in Osawatomie, Kansas channeling Teddy Roosevelt ...

A little over 100 yrs ago Roosevelt went to Osawatomie for the dedication of the city's John Brown Memorial Park. His speech was named the New Nationalism Speech. Actually it was 2 yrs after he left the White House that he gave this famous speech extolling the governments role in promoting social justice and regulating the economy to help the underprivileged.  Republicans back then were as stubborn as they are today, well some will argue that point, but back then Roosevelt criticized the R's for refusing to tackle the economic power of the wealthy. Full circle everybody...full circle... ....here is the New Nationalism Speech he gave ....


It really troubles me when the left joins hands with the haters on the right to find fault in every single thing President Obama has tried to accomplish for us these past 3 yrs.  They say he is not a leader, he has not fulfilled the promises he made to his base, the economy is the presidents fault because of his lack of leadership...But what I see is a man with great passion for the struggling people of this country and this is why he wanted to be president.  We could be on much stronger footing economically speaking if the R's didn't fight tooth and nail every piece of legislation to help the middle class and working poor. I'm tired of saying it but it's the truth... Barack Obama is NOT the evil, arrogant, get down and dirty president the Right loves in their candidates, like Newt Gingrich for instance,  get over it people...

So now on Tuesday President Obama will once again take it to the people, this time to a RED State, a state full of religious righties, pro-lifers, racists, haters of the Democratic party and everything liberals stand for...I can say that cuz I have a few relatives who live there and can back up my claim and many who ARE those conservatives ;)....


Obama will "lay out the choice we face between a country in which too few do well while too many struggle to get by, and one where we're all in it together — where everyone engages in fair play, everyone does their fair share, and everyone gets a fair shot," the White House said.

I hope the people of Kansas, including my relatives, give President Obama a warm welcome and LISTEN to him on Tuesday, REALLY listen.....
