Luee
We adopted Luee from the Humane Society in 1996. He was 2 years old, but still a pup. He has slowed down a bit; his age is catching up to him. He is the best dog anyone could ever have. Luee had to be put to sleep on April 15, 2009. Rest in Peace Pup.

LAND OF THE FREE? MY GANDER IS GETTING UP


Happy Hump Day Speakies:

I’m in a rowdy mood today so let me see who I can blast today. I know the great politicians of the State of Florida. There are so many stories I could write about them but I think I’ll limit it to two. First of all in one local county the commissioners are planning to cut 55 to 60 firefighter jobs, plus the possibility of closing several fire stations to make up their deficit of $3,000,000 dollars. Sure just cut vital jobs needed to protect your citizens but still plan to build new housing because some contractor needs a favor. Here’s another brainer the possibility of building a sports complex that you really do not need. So go head and cut the firefighters and paramedic positions and when someone doesn’t make it to the hospital on time, I hope you can sleep at night. That's number one, the second one is really getting my Gander Up.

Here’s number two. This one Florida follows like a sheep to slaughter. The Arizona Immigration Law. Some representatives want Florida’s laws to be as tough as Arizona’s when it comes to immigration. Everyone is bitching about the immigrants taking American jobs, well the jobs they work on the farms, orchards, slaughter houses, our American citizens who complain about the immigrants would not even consider taking those jobs to work in such low level standards. Here is a solution Roe had, allow companies hire the immigrants, the company that does so provides them with the proper green cards to work, sees that they are covered by benefits and pay the proper taxes to good old Uncle Sam. Make the employers responsible, but than what about the good old American profit. Start sacrificing if you want workers.


America welcomed immigrants at one time with open arms, the Italian, Poles, Irish, Jews and whoever sought freedom from tyranny and the hopes of a brand new life without hatred and fear.

Maybe the conservative, the holy religious and the heartless zombies who follow them would like to turn this country into a true Gestapo State where no citizen would have freedom in the future. I hope that never happens. Read this inscription all you I mentioned in this paragraph you true Americans of heart.


Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

' With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"


Words from the Great Lady in New York Harbor.


Strictly the opinion of JoeyZ. Have a great day Guys and Dolls.
