This is from one of my favorite websites: 'Thomas Paine's Corner' Thomas Paine being the great rebel of the American Revolution (.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine) 'Tom Paine's Corner', belongs to one of the best journalists I have ever read - Jason Miller. Today's article is not by Jason Miller, but by Anwaar Hussain. It's so powerful and so sad and really speaks the truth of what we (yes, WE) have done and are doing in Iraq (next stop IRAN if pResident cheney and puppet bush and their lackey ONE Party (RePUGlicRats) CON-gress gets it's way.

Today, this song keeps playing in my head..

THE WORD JUSTICE
(by Jackson Browne & Scott Thurston)

A man stands up before God and country
Raises his right hand and takes an oath
Swears he has acted in the line of duty
And he more than anyone wants to tell the truth

But there is a need to keep some things a secret
Some weapons shipments--some private wars
In the future democracy will be defended
Behind closed doors

Now the men of Congress who convene to determine
If covert war is a business or a crime
Are the same men who routinely give their permission

Yes - and it's more than unconstitutional - it is a HUMAN RIGHTS violation. (and the perps should go to jail!)

I guess I get a little worked up about these things. When I was a kid, my parents use to call me "our little Joan of Ark" because I would get on my "high horse" and rant and rave against bad people doing bad things to innocent and defenseless others.

One of my favorite places - I just love walking by at night. You have to do that to know what I'm REALLY talking about. All these cool fabric electric lanterns in every color of the rainbow, just filling the ceiling wtih color. Speaking of color - this showroom has more ambiance than you would find if you stepped inside a Renoir. It's truly magical.

Funny how we get a song in our head all of a sudden. A song from the past that you never hear on the radio. And yet, it pops into your head and doesn't go away for days. That happened to me today. I don't know what caused it - I guess it was deja vu - maybe a frangrance from the foggy morning reminding me of another time. Maybe it was a time that was anchored in my soul for some reason. I really don't remember, but it was there filed away in my unconsious memory I suppose, and today it slipped out.

Wow, you have to check out these houses!

My favorite is the tree house! Check 'em out:

Jeez Louise! What's with the traffic in this town - people are either on drugs and going 10 mph under the speed limit or their on drugs going 20 over - take your pick. Either way, it chaps my hide.

Jackson Browne is at the civic and I have my tickets - hooraaaaay!
