Coming Home

Wow!! You go away for the weekend and so much happens. Colin Powell is the man!!! By breaking ranks with W he started a HUG shit storm. The Chicken Hawks W, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Limp-baugh (can't let that go with out a viagra joke)et al, want to change the standard interpretation of the Geneva convention to include the torture of prisoners. Those in the GOP that actually have fought in a war (and there are not many) have stated over and over again that torture does not work in interrogations. When Colin Powell disagreed with W this time, he might have finally drove W over the edge. Their relationship was shaky to begin with. Powell only served under W as a favor to his dad. Powell quit the administration when he realized that he had been conned into lying to the UN over WMDs The blood is in the water folks!!!! The Democrats are just sitting back and watching this feud. And they should. Let the GOP destroy itself. Watching the administration scurry over the weekend was great. W showed his true colors when came out as bitter man during a press conference.

The reason why I was gone was for my sister's birthday. It was a covert op that only a few knew about. My nieces and nephew had no clue either. I was hidden away at my uncle's place for three days. Normally, sitting infront of the TV watching college foot ball all weekend would be a dream come true. I found out that it's better if my girls (Bayliss and Suz of the Booze Cruise, my dogs) are watching it with me. We finally got up to the house and I was attacked by the young ones, although they seemed disappointed Mrs. Ronnie wasn't there, I think they were happy to see me. All the hours being stashed away was worth the expression on my sister's face when she saw her baby brother. I do regret however that I was not able to stay longer.

I finally got a chance to meet MAMA BEAR. What a cool lady. And I found out that Imbecillin was actually someone I already knew. It was good to see her again as well.

While I do love my sister and was able to connect more with my uncle (I finally found out where my mean streak comes from) the best part of the trip was coming home. First when I saw Mrs. Ronnie at OIA, and then getting mugged by the mutts when I got home. Bayliss at her advance age tried to jump up and Suzie did. Those two would not leave me alone for three hours. Even now Suzie is sleeping on the floor at my feet (Bayliss is in the bedroom protecting her mom).

So overall a good weekend. I surprised my sis, Denver won (barely) and the fighting ferrets of Notra Dition got their ass beat and dropped from number 2 to 12!! W keeps getting bad news. And I also came home to my wonderful wife and the two mutts.
