Rest In peace Teddy...............................

Today we learned with shock and sadness the passing away of Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts a true champion of the poor and working class. many of us knew that this was coming but we did not want to believe it, we wanted to believe that the liberal Lion of the United States Senate would once again come out victorious just as he did with all the other battles he fought through out his remarkable life.
Teddy death at the age of 77 ends the remarkable story of three brothers, each of whom made an indelible contribution to American politics. It marks the end of an era, many pundits agree.


Today truly we have lost a Hero


Watch CBS Videos Online

Ted Kennedy was the second-longest-serving member of the Senate, after Robert Byrd, of West Virginia, and the third-longest-serving member, ever.

Today is not only a sad day for the people of the great State of Massachusetts, but for the whole country, because today we lost a hero, a friend, and a champion for the people, today was the day the Lion died.

Barney Frank vs the Republican loonies............


I am frankly really starting to get pissed off by these dumb headed right wing self proclaim christian racist nuts, who have nothing better to do but organize rallies and disrupt town halls meetings that members of Congress are holding to address the President health care plan.
AS Americans we have every right to question each and every bill that our elected representative are proposing we make into law, but when racist loonies and crazy right wingers stoop to the levels that they have, bringing fully loaded guns to the president's rallies and calling the president Hitler, then enough is enough........

Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., was the latest political punching bag to face the wrath of the health care overhauls angry dissenters last night in Dartmouth. Unlike many other spineless lawmakers who have bent over backward and retreated at similar events with their tails between their legs in recent days, an unapologetic Frank went toe to toe with some of the crazies, and it was truly fun to watch.
Frank was holding a town hall meeting last night on the proposed health care reforms. As usual the Republican lunatics started doing their Obama-Is-Hitler-and-Health-Care-Reform-is-Nazism bullshit routine..... and boy they did not know what they had coming.

Here is the video the event.....



Its about time that the Dems stand up and started fighting back, because if it was left with these self righteous fools and their 1860s mentalities, there will never be any health care reform in this country. are these idiots blind or just plain stupid that they cannot see that health care badly needs overhaul in this country.
Every other developed country on the planet have some sort of affordable health care for their citizens, and its a damn shame that we, the most powerful county in the world cannot do the same for our peoples.
Frankly in my opinion these loonies can't stomach the fact that a black man is now President, I am ashamed that i wasted my vote on the republican party last November, these fools have absolutely nothing to offer the country but their hate and fear mongering, and when other people roll up their sleeves to do the heavy lifting, they have the audacity to criticize them.
Get used to it folks today its a black man, the next time it will probably be a Latino man as president, that's when you guys will truly go nuts.......

fascinated by Haiku...........................................

For the past couple of months i have absolutely become fascinated by a form of Japanese poetry called Haiku........ i love the fact haiku writers are able to paint a picture with just seventeen syllables.....
so i have decided to try my hands at it...........

Here is one i wrote for my daughter.


Soft little fingers
reaching out for daddy's hand
My little princess

I love the great State of Minnesota.... winter here can be very beautiful if you are up to it.

The Trees are naked
Winter in Minnesota
Cold and brutal can be.





Snow falling slowly
Blanketing Minnesota
What a sight to see
