Lily, Lil, Lilster;

My dear sweet girl.

Let me give you a little insight that may help you in your journey.

See I sort of have by this motto dear “Illegitmi non Carborundum”

What you fail to see sweet girl is you don’t and cant’ hurt me. With every mention of me that you pen, you give me more power and credibility. You make me significant because your attention and focus always comes back to me.

You make me significant, because I am always dwelling in the back of your mind. Some of your friends have tried to warn you but your ego will not allow you to heed their wisdom.

I came across this letter that I thought would be good for some to read. I think it addresses much of what has been discussed here on the topic of animal control. I beleive that these folks are the hardest working caring people I know.

I do not know the date that this was writtien or the name of the author but I still think it's worth the read. Who knows maybe something will sink in. 

I am your Animal Control Officer. I am not the “dreaded” dog catcher or the “murderer” you call me. It is not I who allows your pet to roam the streets, to contract diseases from other free-roaming animals, to be hit by a passing motorist, or poisoned by rotting garbage bags. I am the one who must look into those sick, pain=glazed eyes, try to remove the animal without causing it further pain, and then humanely “put it to sleep”. to put an end to it’s suffering.

July 10, 2008 Stratfor.com: The New Era As students of geopolitics, we at Stratfor tend not to get overexcited when this or that plan for regional peace is tabled. Many of the world's conflicts are geographic in nature, and changes in government or policy only rarely supersede the hard topography that we see as the dominant sculptor of the international system. Island states tend to exist in tension with their continental neighbors. Two countries linked by flat arable land will struggle until one emerges dominant. Land-based empires will clash with maritime cultures, and so on.

Petit vs. Grand GeopoliticBut the grand geopolitic-the framework which rules the interactions of regions with one another-is not the only rule in play. There is also the petit geopolitic that occurs among minor players within a region. Think of the grand geopolitic as the rise and fall of massive powers-the onslaught of the Golden Horde, the imperial clash between England and France, the U.S.-Soviet Cold War. By contrast, think of the petit geopolitic as the smaller powers that swim alongside or within the larger trends-Serbia versus Croatia, Vietnam versus Cambodia, Nicaragua versus Honduras. The same geographic rules apply, just on a smaller scale, with the added complexity of the grand geopolitic as backdrop.

President Bush is expected to announce some time today the executive ban on oil drilling from the continental shelf in the Atlantic will be lifted.

This ban has been in effect dating back to the 70’s.

From the report I listened to on Fox News some 86 billion gallons of oil are out there beneath the shelf. It was also reported that over 1 million barrels of oil per day can be achieved within 15 months to 2 years.

If the president does lift the ban, it would put the ball in congresses court to follow suit and also vote to lift the ban.

I was unable to verify this little tidbit but Fox News also mentioned that soon after they mentioned the possibility of President Bush making this suspected announcement oil prices dropped by a few cents.

The White House Spy Bill (FISA) was passed by the US Senate today with a vote of 69-28. Sen. Obama was amoung the many to vote FOR this very important Bill. Good for him.

Maybe the Senate is finally waking up. It's about time.

July 3, 2008 Summary Following a thinly veiled threat June 28 by the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps to "shut" the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Fifth Fleet insisted June 30 that the U.S. Navy would not allow any such thing.

In light of this exchange, Stratfor examines Iran's military capability along the vital international waterway. Analysis The U.S. Fifth Fleet insisted June 30 that it would not allow Iran to "shut" the Strait of Hormuz following a thinly veiled threat June 28 by Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, to do just that.

I recently saw this news item on Fox News.

The video shows a 78 year old man in Connecticut attempting to cross the street.

This poor man gets hit by a car and not a single person stops to help him. Cars just continue to drive around him and people on the street just watch.

What in the hell is wrong with people these days?

When I go to the voting booth, one of the many questions I ask myself is which pledge of allegiance does the person I am voting for believe in and recite.

I pledge allegiance to the flag

Of the United States of America

And to the Republic for which it stands

On nation under God,

Indivisible,

With liberty and justice for all.

Or

I pledge allegiance to the flag

Of the United States of America

And to the Socialism for which it stands

On nation under God,

Indivisible,

With liberty and justice for all.

Jenna Bush had a beautiful wedding at her Dads place. She looked wonderful and happy. I wish them both all the best of luck and fortune. Why is that so many just can’t let this girl get married without talking trash is beyond me.

Here are just a few examples.

The Daily Kos celebrates Jenna Bush wedding by showing the beautiful wedding photo’s. Real Classy!
