A purse rack to lend some help organizing

 Guest post written by Jordan Eakes

I need about all of the help that I can get when it comes to organizing all of my belongings. Some of the things that I have a tough time organizing include my accessories because I have so many of them! they're really starting to take over our guest bedroom and we're going to be having guests this summer so I knew that I had to find a way to store them in my own bedroom.

As I was online looking for some ideas about how to store my accessories, I saw all kinds of information and came across Debt settlement usa. After I looked through it a little bit I decided to use it to help out my finances, which is something else in my life that definitely needs some outside help.

I eventually did find some good accessories storage solutions that I know I'm going to use, including a hanging jewelry organizer! That's what I was most excited about. So I'm going to hang that on the back of my closet door instead of just dumping all of my rings and bracelets out on my vanity.

Moving Out

I appreciate the guest post, Ignacio Phillips

I couldn’t believe when my youngest daughter was old enough to go off to college, now I can’t believe she’s a college graduate and buying her first home. It seems like just yesterday when she was going to kindergarten. She’s moving from our home state of Georgia all the way to Colorado to pursue her career in Marketing. Her father and I couldn’t be more proud of her. I and she are flying out this weekend so she can close on her new house and we can get all the utilities turned on. I talked her into getting Berkeley ADT to give me a small piece of mind. She’s very excited but nervous to be moving so far away. She’s always been a very friendly girl so I am sure she won’t have a problem making new friends. I have also made her promise to come on for every major holiday and I am pretty sure I will be visiting her a lot too. I still can’t believe my baby is all grown up and moving so far away, but I know she will be okay.

Cheney: Iraq War a Success

Man, I've heard of spin before, but seriously...

According to the main architect of our latest and greatest fiasco, the war in Iraq has been a success...

Nevermind that our troops went in there under false pretenses (read: lies), nevermind that aside from no WMDs found, there were also no links to Al Qaeda found either. Nevermind that calling something a success requires some sort of, I don't know... SUCCESS?!

In other news, an Iraqui woman (yes, we have been successful in making suicide bombing a career choice for Iraqi women too! Yay! Promoting women's rights in the Middle East), ahem, blew herself up about a half hour after Cheney spoke. Oh, and 25 other people died with her. and 50 people were injured. So, SUCCESS! woot

Sounds like a great band name.

Always wondered what happened when the cops kicked in someone's door and it wasn't the right one. You know, mistaken identity or the perp no longer living at the address in question. Well, now I know.

Torture is Legal Now

According to the Bush White House, Waterboarding, which IS torture, is A-ok for the CIA to use. In fact, they admitted using it before.


There is just too much of this crap to call it "ironic" anymore. It's just disgusting. The US decried Japan for the use of waterboarding when it was done to our troops as POWs in WWII. It was used on POWs and Cambodian civilians by the Kmer Rouge in Cambodia.

"Waterboarding involves strapping a person down and pouring water over his or her cloth-covered face to create the sensation of drowning. It has been traced back hundreds of years, to the Spanish Inquisition, and is condemned by nations around the world.

Here's what it looks like. The picture is from a Kmer Rouge prison museum, as is the illustration.





Critics say waterboarding violates the U.N. Convention Against Torture and U.S. laws outlining legal treatment of detainees. The Justice Department has long resisted exposing the Bush administration and its employees to criminal or civil charges or even international war crimes waterboarding is declared illegal.

But the White House on Wednesday defended the use of waterboarding, saying it could still be legal in some situations. White House spokesman Tony Fratto said President Bush could authorize waterboarding for future terrorism suspects in certain situations, including "belief that an attack might be imminent.""

USA Today

One more reason the Bush Administration has no legitimacy whatsoever. One more reason George Bush needs to be impeached, now. One more reason why America has gone from a so-called beacon of freedom to one of fear and loathing. Why the respect our nation used to command has been squandered.

People Suck

This is the biggest reason why the Right philosophy of business and free markets being the best stewards of our public safety and the environment and just "right" in general... is crap.



"Falsifying news isn't against the law..."

The day is coming...

when this blog will be one long series of rants. But it is not this day. This day we will, however, rant against the present administration.

The newest dismal economic figures came out yesterday and SURPRISE!!! People lost jobs. One guy that I respect on NPR, David Johnston, couldn't understand how the forecasters got it all wrong and how he had talked to all these doodz in manufacturing and they said how great they were doing and blah blah blah...

I have been working in my field, uninterrupted, even by failed Reaganism, for over 24 years. I am now unemployed. That's the truth of it Mr. Johnston.

Actually, that's not quite the truth of it. I'm not really unemployed. I work for Yum! Brand Foods now. That's right. I deliver pizza. Thank you Republicans.

Oh, I know. It's Bill Clinton's fault. It takes a president at least 4 years to overcome his predecessor's... what? It's been almost 8? Oh snap! I'm sure that those damn Dems in Congress did something to make it so wrong? What? The GOP had control of both the Executive branch and both houses of Congress until 6 months ago? Hmmm. Maybe they spent the last six months blocking every improvement W was trying to make.... Huh? GW vetoed all but one of the Dem's attempted budget and spending bills?

Yeah... Old W had broken a 200 year old record by not vetoing a single bill that traipsed across his desk while the GOP were in control, but as soon as the Dems took control, through public mandate (yeah, it's called a vote), he's vetoed every one of their bills.

And now here's how most recent economic report and what has Bush got to say? "Man, this sucks. After 52 consecutive months of jobs added, we have a small loss."

Exsqueeze me? Small loss? What, some 17,000 jobs is small? It's the first loss of this kind in 25 years George! After months of you telling us how robust and strong our economy is, you can at least stop lying to us for a little while. What? Oh yeah, that is a bright spot. There was a small wage increase. What, .02%? Yeah. Did we forget that there was a minimum wage increase in January? Kinda think that would account for it.

Actually, what he said was:

"The fundamentals are strong," Bush said. "We're just in a rough patch, witnessed by the unemployment figures today. I'm confident we can get through this rough patch."

Even with troubling signs, Bush insisted there are some strong points to the economy and said encouraging businesses to invest is also a key part of the stimulus package.

Encourage business to invest... yessss, muahaha... Invest in a new factory in...India! Or Malaysia, or China (whose growth, btw, is 24% right now. Damn commies.)

This is the problem in a nutshell. McCain took it on the nose when he told the honest truth and said that Michigans manufacturing jobs were gone and we'd better face that fact and work with it. You can bet he won't make that mistake again, telling the truth and all, but this is why trickle down didn't work when Reagan splooged it across the American people's tramp stamps and it won't work when GW pulls out either. Business is cold and callous and owned by it's shareholders who care for nothing more than the price of their shares. Which is why business will take that money, thank you very much, and build a factory in Hong Kong or the Phillipines, or even Puerto Rico, where it is still tax free to do so. No, trickle down does not work except for where it trickles into foreign pockets and rich men's wallets.

...

The thing that kills it all for me, well, there are many, but the main one is the constant drumbeat of "cut taxes" we hear from the GOP. Cut taxes, dems raise taxes, we need smaller government, "make W's tax cuts permanent". Crap.

There was another little shieve of paper issued this week. A study of the nation's infrastructure. Yeah, we're falling apart like a Minnesota bridge. Coming soon to a bridge near you!

According to a Congressional commission and the American Society of Civil Engineers, the nation's roads, bridges, dams and many other major structures are in need of very serious repair. Levees are breaking, dams are crumbling and highways are disintegrating underneath our cars. And Bush just signed a bill letting Mexican truckers, who constantly overload their vehicles, drive our highways further into the nation's cities than previously allowed.

You can read the actual commission report here.

Helloooo, these things are paid for with taxes. People need to pay taxes or they can't use the highway to get to the megamall to spend that $600 you're going to give them to stimulate the economy. If they die in a bridge collapse, they can't buy a new $1200 stroller for little Paris. If they get stuck in another giant pothole, they can't go buy that beautiful Leo Shackter diamond! C'mon!




Oh, maybe we can get Exxon to buy it for them. I just heard that they broke the record for the most friggin money made, ever. The record they broke? Their own, set last year. $40.6 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!

But that's not that much really. Just a week in Baghdad. Our government spends 1/3 of all of our taxes on defense. More actually, than all of the other countries of the entire planet - combined. $717 billion. Once again, thanks Reagan.
