To sin by silence when they should protest
makes cowards of men. - Abraham Lincoln
This past weekend many of our concerned citizens
marched on Washington.
I have been there myself I have seen the crowds,
experienced the power and have felt the frustration
for the need for America to wake up!
This occupation in Iraq, is not a noble cause.
This is not a "war on terror" this is a war on truth.
It is pitiful that you or any of your friends or
family have fought and died for any conflict.
The American people are being lied to daily
by the corporate media (all war profiteering).
Network TV is the problem.
When I see standing ovations and smiling
back-slapping congress, hug and kiss
G.W. Bush I am sick.
the U.S. is a country under fascist control.
The next protest in D. C.
March on the Pentagon: Saturday, March 17, 2007
We will be there.
The numbers are from half a million or more.
The corporate news will lie and say less than a
hundred thousand, tens of thousand etc.
speak up people!
These are not aged hippies, far from it.
These people in this story below were with me
in DC. Sept.24,2005

After living for over 50 years, I have never fathered
a child. My wife and I,( married just over a year now)
are expecting our baby due July 15th
This is an exciting time for sure.
My wife has had very little nausea and no morning
sickness. This morning however she has spent the
early morning throwing up in the baño. The cause is
most likely some Asian chicken from a mall food court.
My last chicken dinner brought about a case of diarrhea.
I am not eating meat and every day I am trying to eat
a vegan diet. We are an aging couple and health is
more important than ever. I'll report more on
the pregnancy later. Today the pool and spa service
show is our destination. Go vegan!

Phone doesn't ring much around here,
we changed our numbers. I like that!
No calls. Somehow despite that
telemarketers have gotten through.
I found one quick solution here:
Craig's Number | End the War on Freedom
here's another solution SEE THIS!
I like this guy:

I think to get rid of annoying calls,
that somehow slip by everything , this
seems to be a good way to go:

I saw this on best-of-craigslist,
Ways to not write a resume.

Don't be offended if you see yourself in here, but please do get some professional help. There are people who will do this for you, and you clearly need their assistance.

Cover letters are not optional, people. No, I didn't ask for one. You know why? Because they're the default. At the very least, write a paragraph in your e-mail to me so I can see that you aren't a monkey accidentally forwarding your owner's resume.
----
Objectives are stupid.
Clearly, your objective is to land the job, or else you wouldn't be applying. But if you have listened to the idiots who've written books about its necessity (notice they work for themselves, and haven't been hired anywhere in a while), at least keep it short, sweet, and related to the actual job for which you're applying as opposed to the generic tripe that has come through my desk the past four hours. Such as:

We have been iced in since friday and now a
heavy snow in N.E. Texas. Anet Kellogs saw
her first snow in nearly 35 years of living.
Working on a photo album I'll post soon.
Get out and play! Unless you have a cold!
Making website changes and getting ready
for spring.
Mostly laying around the shack waiting
for the mail train to come back.
It's sunny and 64 in L.A.... Move Away? Na..
My wife would miss the Texas heat
and mosqos (skeeters),
and the cold and lonely winters and mostly
we would both miss our dear Neo-cons
and their S.U.V.'s

First and most important people have to realize that,
the U.S. government brought about the 911 disaster.
Next get away from that corporate tv.
There is more harm done watching network tv,
than any entertainment value.

My dream is for peace on earth. We have to work for this every day.
~ M. Kellam
see this video:
Video MGM Cartoon 1939 Peace On Earth - Holiday, Cartoon, MGM ...
Thom Hartmann takes on the Bush Administration! This 22 minute video segment of Thom reading his amazing article "When Democracy Failed" was taped at the KPOJ studios (Air America Radio affiliate) Portland, OR.
When Democracy Failed - 2005: The Warnings of History
Thom Hartmann - author, progressive liberal talk radio show host ...
Also check out Thom's site and watch the only cartoon ever nominated for a Nobel peace Prize. 1939 MGM Cartoon "Peace On Earth" It was broadcast in the US just after Germany had pre-emptively invaded Poland, a protest against Bush-Iraq-style pre-emptive wars, and before the US was attacked at Pearl Harbor and thus entered WWII. You'll be amazed.. thanks Thom.
