Pres. Bush

If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?
If George W. Bush joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who’s side he was on?

If George W. Bush had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one company had an accident would you have agreed?

If George W. Bush had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87,000 American workers unemployed would you support him?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a “TelePrompter” installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , would you have said that he is clueless?

If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas , would you have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” (“the 5th or 4th”?) in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the “Cinco de Mayo” (the 5th of May), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had misspelled the word “advice” would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okay-ed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

Barach Obama has done all these things in less than 18 months

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? And by the way… How’s that HOPE and CHANGE working out for you?

The Bengal Brats,TheMasteOfTheUniverse and I shared a very happy cuddle last night
when it became apparent Rick Scott’s
name will be on the November ballot for the GOP candidate for governor for Florida.
We are all delighted!

Despite an opponent who pulled every dirty trick in known history, Rick campaigned
on his guess what- personal integrity. The very issue that Mr.McCollum would have
us believe that Rick was lacking.

I think that after egg is wiped off some haughty GOP faces this morning, the message may slowly
filter through to their brain. People in Florida realize that our state is in trouble, running it like a business
that is accountable is a good first step.

Here is another clue, no amount of emotional mudslinging changes facts.
If Rick had done what you said he did I believe he would be in jail, you know! don’t pass go,
don’t collect 200.00 dollars. No get out of jail free pass either.

Mr. McCollum it is not nice to use your unique position to create a sense of falsehood
regarding your opponent. Just saying, you being the attorney general and all.
Truth is supposed to rate up at the top of your to do lists
I’d think…..

If anyone is actually interested in the rest of Rick Scott’s platform instead of slinging eggs err
mud you might check here and here.

Both of my doctors were out on vacation, so the next doctor I saw was my pain management doctor.
After she got done explaining what the word stupid meant and how it supremely applied in this case, she sent me for stat x rays.

When we got home I glanced at the calendar and realized I had an appointment with my surgeon that afternoon.

Back to S.E. Imaging to get a copy of the x-ray on disk. Dr Lowell read them and said you have a new fracture at L-3. Great, wonderful, the best news is that the treatment for this , is to inject a cement like material into it to stabilize the vertebrae.

He said NO WAY was he taking a chance of my body rejecting that, a real nightmare is what he said.
So a brace for 8-10 weeks, an for God’s sake if it gets worse call him.Vertebres will heal is you behave youself

These are spring Phlox that grow nearly everywhere here in Ocala, I put this together so you can admire Tiggers fangs!

I had the MRI on my knee yesterday…….
Hopefully I will hear something tomorrow from the doc.

No BIG news here, we are all just trying to stay warm….
Record Cold continues…..

Woke to freezing rain yesterday morning, so after TheMasterOfTheUniverse left for
work, I went back to bed, had 3 cold Cats
all wanting to lay on me for warmth.We settled for close cuddles under the blankies.Tigger has decided that old saddle blankets
work, even on top of a couch…..Here he is doing the slow crawl approach.

I am finally doing better, the infection is slowly clearing, and..
You wont believe that I “tweaked” my right knee getting up, and its
the size of 2 baseballs, apt. with an orthopedic next week..
