Saw this at a local bar recently:
"Raped (again!!!) without a fucking dinner today!"
"Dear Dotti: If I don't drive drunk, how am I supposed to get to work?"
And last, I just read this, this made me laugh. Enjoy this.

The So-Called Freedom Shit
I shall repeat what I said before -- my rights are not my privileges. My rights are my rights. I was born in this country, therefore I do not get my rights by a privilege. It is my right by birthright.
Ever since the 9/11 Demise, Bush cried for freedom. Then he cited the national security by promoting the Patriot Act which eroded our rights, trampled others' rights. He also chose the different words to describe the prisoners of war, Enemy Combatants to avoid the international laws -- prompting the cronies to degrade, defile and crush their dignity.
Is that the American way? No, it is not. It is supposed to be the truth, justice and freedom for all. Not manipulative, lying and stripping others of their rights. Yes, 9/11 happened for a reason. Now we must learn from it in order to make sure that it will never happen. How? By attacking back? Nah, it does not work. It shall make things worse than ever. Trust me.
Oh, Bill O'Reilly just settled the sexual harassment lawsuit. It goes to prove that he did harass her. Typical male chauvinist pig.
Oh, Chamique Holdsclaw is depressed. Boohoo, so was I. And I'm doing OK.
Republicans annoy me these days -- I hadn't met a person who came to my face and said, "I am Republican". Of course, they are afraid. Because I'd crush 'em literally and figuratively.

Oh, Ambulance Was Invented For ...
An interesting information from the book I am reading ...
R-
* * *
Q. When did the first ambulance take to the streets of New York?
A. The first ambulance was seen on the streets in 1867, but it was for horses. Two years before, a wealthy New Yorker named Henry Bergh chartered the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Bergh, nicknamed the Great Meddler by newspaper reporters because of his confrontational style, was particularly horrified by the cruelty he saw directed at working horses, the primary beasts of burden at the time. Toward that end, the ASPCA created a horse-drawn ambulance in 1867 to treat wounded animals who would otherwise be left on the street to die.
Two years later, Bellevue Hospital introduced the city's first ambulance for humans. Each vehicle was equipped with a stretcher, splints, bandages, tourniquets, handcuffs, a straitjacket and a quart of brandy. Today the ASPCA is a nationwide organization. While it now treats mainly domesticated animals, its roots are not forgotten; the official seal of the organization depicts an angel rising up to protect a fallen horse about to be struck.

Lambykins, Republicans Are Cowards
There are a pattern where Republicans always roared but sent the poor people to do the fights for them.
When they subjected themselves to the debate, they whined and demanded the rules to ensure that they will not be embarrassed by any means or even pinpointed by others who trampled their arguments.
When Bush had the inauguration parade, he said that the protesters had the right to protest. But behind the scene, he schemed with the city and secret services to block the protesters from protesting at the parade.
When Republicans decided to have a national convention in New York, the groups wanted to criticize by protesting at Madison Square Garden and at Central Park's The Mall, the Republicans schemed with Mike Bloomberg to keep the protesters away from the sight of Republicans.
And I just read Mike McConnell's blog and I wanted to respond to some of his flawed comments, he blocked us except for his "group".
A sign of common cowardice at its best. Hiding behind your wealth, computer monitor and secret services may be the best weapon you ever had in your lifetime.
A fuckin' coward.

This Is A Sign -- Jesus Is Coming! Look Busy!
What a long day. I was goddamned busy all day long. Finally, at 7 PM -- I get to read the local tabloids and one article made me smile for the rest of the night.
I am certain that you guys will smile as well after you read this article. Mind-boggling, though.

Remmy The E-Mail I Got From Folks Who Urges Bloggers To Support Bush?
Well, I got another e-mail today. It is bit weird to read this.
Enjoy this!
R-
* * *
A week ago, we sent you an email asking for help debunking anti-Bush documents. After receiving hundreds of responses, it become clear that all the documents were actually real: the Bush/Cheney DUIs, the Ken Lay letters, and even the bin Laden memo. For more information visit the documents page:
http://www.yesbushcan.com/falsedocs.shtml
We also received hundreds of emails from concerned bloggers that eloquently expressed the problems with the Bush administration. And as we travelled across America campaigning for Bush, we learned more than we wanted to know about Bush's policies. We came to see that this administration is a catastrophe for most people.
As a result, we are abandoning our support of Bush and officially endorsing John Kerry for President. You can read more at the Yes Bush Can web site:
http://www.yesbushcan.com/
We deeply regret our misguided support and apologize for our previous email. This will be the last email we will send directly to bloggers. If you want to join us in supporting Kerry, you can find out more here:

Thank you for your understanding,

A Message to Deaf Republicans From Al
Dear Deaf Republicans:
First of all, I want to congratulate you for creating DeafRepublicans and air out the pros and cons. I was the Executive Director of TDI, then Telecommunications for the Deaf,Inc., during the Papa Bush and Clinton administrations. I was very involvedin developing the ADA and FCC regulations covering telecommunications relay services (TRS), captioning, and 9-1-1 access.
What really had happened were as follows:
The original ADA was introduced by Senator Wicker (D-CT) in 1988. It waskilled by both parties. In 1989, it was reintroduced by Senator Harkin(D-IA) because Wicker became the Governor of Conn. Papa Bush (R) was against it. Senator Dole (R-KS) got involved and convinced Harkin to include undue hardships to protect the businesses. Harkin obliged andlobbied for it in the Senate. After it passed, Rep Hoyer (D-MD) lobbied in the House of Reps. Papa Bush (R) signed it into the law in 1990. The responsibilities to develop regulations to the Federal CommunicationsCommission on TRS and captioning and to the Dept of Justice on the 9-1-1 access. The watered down TRS regulations were developed in 1991 under the Papa Bush administration and strengthened under the Clinton administration. The 9-1-1 regulations were developed in 1993 under the Clinton administration.
The FCC is usually administered by five (5) commissioners. Three, including the chair, are appointed and are of the same party as the President. Two are appointed by the other party. The FCC Disability Rights Office was created by the vote of 3 Democrats with two Republicans opposing in 1995. Practically ALL disability related issues were passed by the vote of 3-2 during the Clinton administration. The 7-1-1 was created in 1997 by vote of 3-2 under the Clinton administration, not by Papa Bush as you had stated.
When Baby Bush became the President, practically ALL issues AGAINST people with disabilities were either carried or watered down by vote of 3 - 2. Even a hotline to the FCC Disability Rights Office using access@fcc.gov was abolished, making it more difficult for deaf people to appeal for assistance with the FCC by vote of 3 - 2.
As of today, the FCC, under the Baby Bush administration, is considering of abolishing already watered down programs on TRS, captioning, and emergency access, to name a few, in favor of the industry rather than deaf consumers. In other words, should Bush remain as the resident of the White House, it is very possible that we, the deaf people, will go back to the dark ages of minimal relay services and unempowered captioning and emergency access.
Question: Are the issues such as economy, abortion, gun control, and stem cells, to name a few, more important than relay services, captioning and access to emergency services for deaf people???
In closing, I dare you to post this letter.
