Why Aren't There More Like Him

Freaking brilliant.



Donahue is a moron.

Ketchup Smilie Faces

And French Fry Dreams.

I had a wonderful day yesterday. Hubby and I got up early and traveled to the "Super Mall" up north. My original goal was to find a Coach outlet (I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket), but they don't have one there, so we just wandered.

It's an outlet mall so we hit Eddie Bauer and the Levi's and Hanes stores. I got some adorable sweaters for around $12 and a hooded front zip sweatshirt for $15.

Then we hit the food court. We were starving and everything looked great, but I really wanted to go to Johnny Rockets. I hadn't been to JR since I was in the 6th grade and we went to Japan. I thought it was hilarious that the one in Washington state was exactly the same as the one in Tokyo. =)

The waiter served us our fries and made a ketchup smilie face. *grin* It's the little things in life.

And for once I had a cheese burger. I normally don't eat beef, but apparently I'm supposed to eat red meat three times a week. Probably not hamburgers, but whatever. It was delicious!

Then we got Cinnabons to go. *drooling*

We spent about three hours there and had such a great time. When we got home I took a nap...it's hard work stimulating the economy.

I love hanging out with hubby.

And you know what I've noticed? Since being pregnant, my mood swings are very mild, if existent at all. Maybe the hormones will have the opposite affect on me that they have on most and make me NORMAL. LOL

Throw Away Society

Medved is talking about a case in Florida of an abortion clinic doing horrendous things. More horrendous than cutting up babies in the womb.

A baby was BORN in the abortion clinic. An autopsy has proven that the baby took a breath - its lungs filled with air.

The workers cut the umbilical cord and stuffed the LIVE - LIVING - BABY in a biohazard bag.

I do not think there is much more evil than that. What kind of person could do such a thing?

According to the complaint, she gave birth at a Hialeah clinic after waiting hours for Renelique to arrive. The complaint said one of the clinic owners put the baby in a bag that was thrown away.

Police found the infant's decomposing remains a week later.

I want to throw up.

I believe that minutes before it was born it was also alive and deserved life. It was a future human being who deserves respect and the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But once it was born, and fully outside the womb, it was legally a fully fledged human being, protected by law.

As someone who has wanted a baby for years, the "thing" growing in my uterus is not just a "thing". It is not a lifeless clump of cells. The moment we conceived it had unique DNA from me and my husband. It was human. It wasn't just an appendage or extra skin growth. My finger could never become a new human life if left alone to grow. The cells growing inside me are LIFE.

At around 7 weeks (nearly) it has started growing limbs and features that we can identify as human. And we talk about 'it' as a baby, a human, a future part of our lives.

It has a future. Unknown, except by God, but limitless.

My stomach aches when reading about this story. The idea that abortion is simply a medical procedure to remove unwanted cells, like amputating a finger, is sick and wrong. I do not come to my beliefs based on my religion. Science shows me that late term abortions are evil, sick, and wrong. And that no self proclaimed advanced society should allow them.

In 6th grade I wrote an essay in support of abortion. I didn't know what the hell I was talking about and was merely spouting back what I had been taught. In the 7th grade I read a book in the library and there were pictures of apes in the uterus at very young ages...it was some sort of science book. You could see the shapes and the future apes they would become. Not lifeless cells with no purpose or future life.

I have seen horrible pictures of tiny limbs, with fingers and toes, ripped from inside a woman. I have seen babies small enough to fit inside a person's palm but with all their human features - killed before their future could begin. I have seen the graphic drawings showing the procedure where a doctor punctures the back of the skull of the CHILD inside the womb, and sucks out the brains, before removing it piece by piece. I have read about the horror former abortion doctors went through in doing their "duty" ... which is why they are former.

This issue is obviously close to my heart right now as I wait for my little one to grow bigger...I'm still worried about losing him or her to a miscarriage. The issue will mean even more to me when I am able to feel the little crumb cruncher moving around inside of me...when I can hear the heartbeat. It's not just an appendage.

Like Viagra, Only Not as Effective

Found via Instapundit ... HILARIOUS!



There is no magic pill for the economy, even though Bambi is trying to scare us all into believing that this ONE magic bill is the cure to all our ills.

Saw him this morning on the news, talking yesterday to some group, and boy did he sound like a whiny little kid who wasn't getting his way. And of course blaming Bush for the problem we're in now. I won't say Bush had nothing to do with it, but if he really wants to try to blame someone he better be careful because the culprits are in HIS own party.

Poor Bambi...things just don't seem to be turning out the way he expected.

More Surveys

Global Warming...whatever. I've got your global warming right here.






Oh, but it's all established science and nobody should argue. *spit*

And Payday Loans...just legalized mob lending as far as I'm concerned.



And last but not least ...

I Just Need to Stay Home

I had my first pregnancy appointment today. :) I was really nervous for some reason. It went fine ... and I scheduled my next appointment and they're going to try to fit in my first ultrasound in less than a month. The first appointment available was almost a month away! What the heck?

So then I make my trip to Albertsons ... they're having double coupons again and I saved over $95! I love it when I save twice what I end up spending. I got free Totinos Pizza Rolls, Sobe Life Water, and Beans. Plus a bunch of really cheap stuff like yogurt. Woohoo!

I was having a great time ... saving makes me happy. And then I got in line behind the welfare group. Two women (mother and daughter perhaps) with two kids - a full cart of crap food - hundreds of dollars worth of crap. Pizza, Pop Tarts, Cookies. Not that I don't eat that stuff too (except pop tarts, yuck) but I'm also not on welfare. So they have two separate orders, one with all the crap food that doesn't qualify for welfare and a second incredibly small order with some milk, cheese, and juice. It was so pathetic.

Just as annoying was the little boy who they had allowed to open a box of animal crackers (which pisses me off ... if you haven't paid for it and you eat it it's stealing!) and he was THROWING THEM AT ME!!! I'm not kidding. Throwing them directly at me. I finally said, "Do not throw animal crackers at me." And I was not kidding ... and then his mom or grandma noticed and took them away.

They had also opened two different packages of toys. Their kids can't last for an hour in the grocery store without opening (STEALING!) toys?!?! WTF?!

I have always said that I would never let my kids eat or drink items that I haven't yet paid for. Even when I'm starving or dying of thirst I don't eat or drink things without paying for them. My mom never let us do it and she would get SO mad at us when we snuck samples from the bulk section. Oh boy did we get in trouble. It's STEALING.

So they get through and it's my turn and the cashier rocks and I save bunches of money. Woohoo. Right?

When I get to my car, some asshole has parked SO F'ing close to my car that I couldn't get my car door open enough to get in the driver's side...I think I am going to have bruises on my legs from squeezing through the tiny opening I managed to make...it took some self control to not purposely ram my door into the side of their car. Road (parked) rage anyone??? If I had been another couple months pregnant I really would have been in trouble. I was so pissed that I actually left a note ... it took all of my strength to not leave a curse laced note ... I just said "could you have parked ANY closer? Try to think of others next time will ya?" I could not believe how unbelievably rude they were.

I'm not supposed to get stressed out. =) I called hubby and he talked me down.

So now it's time for bed. Yes, it's not even 7 a.m. But I'm exhausted.

Don't Reward Terrorism

Instapundit publishes an exclusive from Michael Yon (who is awesome) about Sderot. His assessment is that a two state solution in Israel and Gaza is simply a reward for the terrorist behaviors of Hamas.

The idea of a two-state solution, once popular with many Israelis, is evaporating. More and more Israelis are coming to believe that any appeasement with the Palestinians is merely a reward for terrorism. And so it is. The Palestinians have become prisoners by their own hand. The hand that builds the bombs, wields the guns, and welds the rockets, has caused a fence to be built around them.

They are isolated and imprisoned. But it’s not only Israel who’s done this. The Gaza Strip borders Egypt, and Egypt has done the same. The terrorists are tunneling like rats and the Egyptians and Israelis are trying to locate and destroy the tunnels under their respective fence lines. Who wants the Palestinians? If the Palestinians truly were a peaceful lot, victims only of Israel, one might think that they would have free entry into Egypt. But they do not.

Until they stop their attacks on Israel, and instead focus on building a successful economy, they will remain destitute, punishing those citizens within Gaza who don't want to live in squalor and fear.
