Okay, my life is too dull to even write about. Nothing has happened in days. We have looked at some houses, I have done some laundry, I have had a migraine-style headache, and I have also done some scrapbooking, but nothing at all exciting has been going on since I have been back here in the beautiful state of AZ. It has rained almost nightly since we've been back, but that is seriously the extant of the excitement around the Ramirez/Holsapple house. I haven't been writing because I have a reputation as an adorable and beloved "Riot" to live up to, and it's much too much pressure for me when nothing is going on.

rain is good...

HOW DID I KNOW THAT MEL GIBSON WAS A REPUBLICAN?? WELL HE'S CRAZY FOR ONE, ALSO THERE IS THE DRUNKEN, ARROGANCE AND THE RACIST REMARKS. HERE'S AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED LAST YEAR.
Mel Gibson pushed
for president
Activist inspired by actor's stand on Schiavo, says his charisma needed

Inspired by Mel Gibson's strong stand against the dehydration death of Terri Schiavo, an Oregon businessman has begun a campaign to see the "Passion" director run for president as a Republican in 2008, saying he's the only potential candidate who has the star power and charisma needed to keep Democrat Hillary Clinton out of the White House.
The one thing I can say for Mel, is he practices what he preaches.
His defense in the drunk-driving, Jew-hater case should be that he was trying to stave of a Schiavo-like death by dehydration and the only thing available was Tequila.
He could show them this article:
"Inspired by Mel Gibson's strong stand against the dehydration death of Terri Schiavo, an Oregon businessman has begun a campaign to see the "Passion" director run for president as a Republican in 2008..."
Here's his first TV AD:
Cue Mel Gibson strolling across the desert in full Road Warrior regalia, carrying the American Flag.
"In hot times like the present, with temperatures at all time highs and petroleum reserves scarce, we should all join Mel and take a strong stand against dehydration."
"Award-winning, actor / director Mel Gibson, the most fully-hydrated Republican candidate for President ever, promises to stop the Jewish weather control conspiracy once and for all."
"VOTE FOR MEL GIBSON because unlike that moron George W. Bush, Gibson will never quit --- Being a drunk.""
Paid for by Chevron, Texaco, Shell and people who are more Christian than you are who will be rolling around laughing as they watch you burn in hell for all eternity.
Another possible defense:
"The Jews got me drunk!"
Want to get to the heart of what is wrong with the Republican party today? They got in bed with the Catholic church 1: so Reagan could use the pope's money (much of which "his holiness" stole from the good people of Mexico) to outspend the CCCP and win the Cold War, and 2: to fight abortion.
Winning the Cold War was a noble cause. But selling out to the Vatican wasn't worth it. If anyone is keeping score at home, Bro. Branham said numerous times to not worry about Communism, but rather Catholicism.
Ending abortion is a noble cause. But linking arms with Benedict and singing "Jesus loves the little children" isn't the way to go about it.
The Catholic church has a long history of drinking and hating Jews, so I'm not at all surprised at Gibson's little outburst. Unfortunately, thanks to an all-too-accepting "Protestant" church, Gibson had become the face of Christianity to the U.S. People will look at this and say, "See, all Christians are hypocrites." But the true face of Christianity is Christ Himself, He who knew no sin, not some Catholic Hollywood Christ.
That always kind of bugged me about “The Passion.” I never saw it, but the fact that the movie was a marriage of two Babylons didn’t sit well with me. Besides, as Jess said, “Why do I need to see the movie? I already read the book.”
Now we have five Catholics on the Supreme Court bench. That’s right, a Catholic majority in one of the three branches of our government. The founders must be rolling in their graves.
So John, does that mean you and all the other Republicans are in bed with the Pope too?
Must be a pretty big bed.
For those of you keeping score at home:
I take credit for the fact that John is now bashing Republicans. Now if he can get over his cognitive dissonance (ala Pierre Bakhtin) and stop voting Republican, we'll get somewhere.
Cognitive dissonance is what you suffer from when you believe one thing and do another.
Bakhtin theorized that eventually you start shifting your beliefs to match your actions.
By the way, Georgie, I love the Supreme Court. They are always "right."
And I don't want the government in bed with any religion -- that includes evangelical non-catholic christians as well.
You can take credit for whatever you want. That doesn't make it true. That said...
This example is perhaps an oversimplification. But then, some of the best examples are. My favorite color is red. But if you come to me and ask me to pick one of two colors, either yellow or blue, just because I pick yellow doesn't mean yellow is my favorite color. Yellow, like red, is a warm color, which I prefer to cool colors, such as blue and purple (sorry Shan). So when you line them up on a color wheel, yellow is going to be closer to red, even though they aren't the same color.
The Republican party as an institution has sold out. But that doesn't mean there aren't any good people left in it. There are good people in the Democratic party. But when I line up the views on various policies, the Republican party lines up a little better than the Democratic party. Anybody who knows me knows that I am not afraid to disagree with or criticize the party (see also Taft, Bob; and immigration, opposition to), even before I ever met you.
Seems your gay asian canadian roommate had quite an influence on you "Mr. Cool Blue and Purple." Fabulous!!
Your love of colors is another reason to leave the party.
Unlike you, Republicans only like one color -- White!
Actually White is more like the absence of color, which is probably why they like it, but you get my point...
Also in bed with you and the Pope, the KKK, The Minutemen, Mel Gibson, and the adulterous trifecta of Guiliani, Gingrich and McCain. Must be some party!!
Speaking of news, I gave a 83-year-old man a $30,000 new car yesterday.
I was an arbitrator (judge) in his lemon-law case against Ford.
Even my fond memories of owning that Ford Tempo couldn't sway me in their favor on this case.
Actually, and I think my MIL can back me up on this, white is the presence of all color, not the absence. That would be black.
John
I am so proud of you! YOu are absolutely right about white. That is why you can take white light through a prism and get the rainbow. You are absoulutely right about black being the absence of all color. You are absolutely right about everything else,too, by the way.
Also, I loved the color analogy. Wonder if Israel gets it.
THE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN BY ISRAEL, BUT I CLEANED IT UP LIKE A GOOD LITTLE REPUBLICAN SHOULD...
HERE IS PROOF THAT I HAD MEL GIBSON PEGGED AS CRAZY TWO WHOLE YEARS AGO WHEN I POSTED THIS ON MI FAMILIA WEBSITE.
I just saw Danny Glover at the Toys R’US in Daly City. We were both buying diapers and he was carrying a baby boy in one hand and a bottle in the other. He looked old and tired and had baby spittle on his shirt. He bought a Jeep Brand single-hand closing stroller, a baby gate, a
yellow bug crib toy and the diapers. Everybody around us was talking a mile a minute in Tagalog and I could understand about 20 percent of it because about every fifth word was either “Danny Glover” or “Lethal Weapon.” He did not look like he wanted to talk.
So I was standing about two feet away from him for about 15 minutes, because we were both at customer service. He was waiting for the stroller to be assembled and I was waiting for them to bring me their last box of #5 Huggies which they had apparently stored in Antarctica.
I didn’t say a word, but I was really tempted to ask him “Mel Gibson is really crazy, huh? I mean
I saw him in a interview about the Passion of the Christ and he has really crazy eyes and he said
his beloved wife was going to hell because she wasn’t Catholic. And I thought, he sooooo crazy! He’s crazy, huh? In case you’re awaiting word on Lethal Weapon 5 or something, you don’t have to say anything, just stand there and don’t say anything if you think Mel’s crazy.... Just as I thought, Mel’s nuttier than Fat Person’s Poop!”
Glover was with a young woman who was probably his daughter and a teenage boy wearing a Raiders Jersey. I’m hoping that was his daughterand his two grand kids, but if it wasn’t I guess it would explain why he looked so worn out. They drove off in a late model Gold Volvo.
ONCE AGAIN, ISRAEL NEEDED HELP KEEING THE LANGUAGE G RATED...
THE REPUBLICANS CAN STILL RUN CHARLETON HESTON!!
He is perfect Republican and unlike Gibson he was born in the U.S.
He is Moses and therefore a good Christian who talks to God all the time.
He loves the 10 Commandments and he loves guns.
He has Alzheimer's disease (supposedly) so like Reagan he can deny every scandal and all the corruption in his administration with a truthful "I don't recall."
Best of all, he's racist enough to appeal to the Republican base. (He said that "Racial Mixing" is behind gun violence in the United States. His publicist released the the Alzheimer's statement right after his comments became public. Ooops, my bad, I'm not racist I'm sick.
I dunno, maybe he thought he was doing planet of the Apes Part 6 or something. (Those dirty race-mixing apes!!)
Hey, Israel, as much fun as reposting all your origional posts is... maybe you could try to remember that my niece reads this blog with her dad sometimes and I would appreciate you not using such mature words on here. (Not to mention the fact that I don't like reading them, either... being the good, little, white, christian, republican lady that I am.)
Jeshanah,
The language I used was in a direct quote from Charleton Heston, who said "You D*** dirty apes."
They told me not to change quotes in Journalism School.
The other language was in a reference to a character in a movie whose actual proper name is "Fat Bast***" and who has nutty poop. It makes no sense to change that to "Fat Person," because no one would know who I was talking about, just as it would make no sense in a story to change the rapper's namer to "Old Dirty Person" when his name is ODB.
Anyway, I would have probably changed the language, but I brought a whole post over from another site and didn't notice. I personally don't think that "Bast***" is a bad word, but I guess people can differ on that.
I'm not sure if "Hell" counts as a bad word since you left it in. I think that is an actual nme for an actual place right?
So sorry!
But at least it gives you something to do own your own Blog. I think that is the best post you've had in a while.
I should have known better than to argue colors with John especially when he has a crack interior decorator watching his back.
But if Black is the absence of color then why do White people call black people "Colored" people? Shouldn't they call them "non-colored" people?
And shouldn't White people refer to themselves as "colored," since they contain the entire spectrum of the rainbow?
Colors are hard.
I'm so confused.
Zion,
I don't have a blog because I don't know how to make one and you guys have so many blogs and (at times) so little to say. Plus, you were the one imploring people to post.
Why so touchy? You guys from Ohio put George W. Bush and Cheney in the White House and both of them curse like crazy. Don't you think it makes sense to follow the example of those two fine Republican men of God that you guys so whole-heartedly support?
Does this mean I can't talk about Rush Limbaugh's Viagra any more?
Israel
All of us white republicans here in Ohio have no idea what you are talking about half the time, but we find it very entertaining just the same. Calling the fat person by his "proper" name of the fat "bleep" makes no difference really. I am assuming the whole thing refers to some nonsense put out by Hollywood but I oculd be wrong. We don't watch a lot of that stuff so I guess that leaves me in blissful ignorance of about half of your jokes. I am up on the politics a bit more but we do have a different perspective there. Colors, on the other hand, are like math. The facts of color are just facts.
John
In fairness to Israel, you were not absolutely right on your color analogy in one fact. Yellow is not closer to red on the color wheel than blue. They are exactly the same distance. There are exactly three primary colors, red, yellow and blue. They are equally spaced with all the varied shades in between. I still loved the analogy.
No wonder, I was confused.
John used a defective color wheel in his analogy.
But yellow and red are still warm colors, and blue is a cool color, no? Even though they are the same distance apart on the color wheel, yellow and red stil share more common traits than blue and red. So the analogy still stands.
I'm uncomfortable with all this talk about colors.
Can we talk about fabrics now?
Tomorrow we can talk about shoes and all of our favorite designers.
^^^^^
Someone's a little insecure in his manhood...
Yeah I guess you get to be a decorated war veteran by being a wimp.
You have to be a real hero like Georgie to Fly for the Texas National Guard while wimps like Kerry are out there earning their purple hearts.
I like your logic -- sure Republicans are corrupt, hypocritical and stupid but they have guts.
Sign me up.
During the last election you guys were saying that Georgie was a man of God and a genius, so at least admit you were wrong about that.
He's a disgrace and probably the worst president ever. At least Nixon had brains.
Well we are all much better off now with record deficits instead of record surpluses aren't we?
Say what you want about Clinton, he was not stupid. Unlike Bush, he worked his way out of the trailer park and into the White House. His father wasn't President, his father was a drunk traveling salesman who abused his wife and died while bill was a child.
The sex mess regarding Lewinsky was orchestrated by a bunch of hypocritical Republicans, many of which were cheating on their wives while salivating over the Starr Report.
George Bush senior kept a mistress on Capital Hill. Yes, he cheated on Barbara, but you never heard a peep about that in the press and nobody called in a grand jury to investigate.
It gives me no great pleasure to say any of these things about Bush being an embarrassment to our country. I love this country and I want all of our Presidents to succeed, even the Republican ones.
I don't hate Georgie for being stupid. It's not his fault that people like you put him in the White House when he should be working the counter at Burger King. He is doing the best he can with his limited intellect and understanding.
I supported Reagan and I supported Georgie's father in the gulf war. He did it the right way with international support and he wasn't short-sighted enough to think that we could go in there and make the people of Iraq love us and want to be like us.
Iraq was never a threat and by attacking them we have done nothing but destabilize the region, turn Iran's worst enemy (Iraq) into it's best friend on our dime, We have wasted billions in resources and manpower and weakened ourselves to the point that Iran and North Korea can spit in our faces and we can't do a thing about it.
Belive me I take no great pleasure in Georgie's 36% approval rating.
I love my country and it truly hurts me to see it ruined by Georgie's arrogant ignorance and by sheep who have such a simplistic view of politics that they can't even intelligently defend their own beliefs.
I agree with what Zion just said. Except the part about decorators being weird of course
Sooooo... rain is good, isn't it? =)
I just wish our President was smart enough to eat with his mouth closed.
And unlike Clinton, he isn't even smart enough to curse in private.
But like I said, Bush is just a symptom of the overall problem, not the whole problem.
The American electorate so uneducated and uninformed that they believe the propaganda that is constantly being shoved down their throats.
I know you don't like it, but I'm trying to change that, one Republican at a time.
I assume this means all this ranting and raving I've been laughing at is an intelligent defense of another belief.
More interesting all the time.
Shan
Yes, I believe rain is good. If I had a brain I might think that rain could be bad somehow, like maybe too much of it or something, but I have been told "rain is good' in an earlier comment by a very smart man, so of course I just believe it is. Baa
Awww, how sad, he can't even convince one of us to become a democrat... are we sure he's a lawyer??! Maybe he's an accountant! Astronaut? I know, I know, saying he's a lawyer is probably code for used car salesman!! (He DID get that 83 year old guy a $30,000 car!!) I think I'm onto something, guys.... I'll keep you posted! ;)
Mom, actually, rain CAN be bad! Read my next post to see what I mean.
"The very rich can afford to give offence wherever they go, we need not care for his good opinion"
This is a line from Pride and Prejudice, that's the kind of high brow movies us white Christian Republican ladies are into. I've even read the book a time or two.
Was there a book before your movie about the poop?
Israel
We know you think we are all ignorant, and no doubt you are right, but do you honestly think we are so dumb we don't know when we've been insulted?
Don't worry about it, we can take it.
ROFL... I LOVE it when we get to quote Pride and Prejudice!!! I feel, and I hope you will concur, anytime we get to quote anything of Jane Austen's, it's a good day.
Very rich? Not exactly...
Well, if you're talking about rich in functioning braincells, I'm probably twice as rich as George W. Bush is in that department. He's only got one I think, and that one was damaged by heavy drinking.
And I didn't actually give the old man a car, I made Ford Motor Company do it.
The movies about the poop were the "Austin Powers" movies and that Austin beat your Austen by about $400,307,889 in gross box office receipts. And they didn't even have to write a book.
"Pride and Prejudice" made a piddly $38,405,088 in gross box office receipts, so my Austin is about 10 times better than your Austen. And that's not even counting merchandising.
The American public has discerning taste and it knows best -- they elected George Bush didn't they?
Israel
Of course I am not talking about that pathetic excuse for entertainment that was ever mentioned at the box office. I did watch that on DVD and promptly told my daughters and friends not to waste their time. The version we all love is the one made by A&E which is very true to the book.
Americans do like their poop, don't they?
Anyway, I was right two years ago about Mel Gibson being crazy and wait another two years and almost everyone will agree with me about Georgie being an idiot.
You see I'm kind of an expert on idiots, cuz I grew up surrounded by them.
Funny about the Austin vs. Austen though
Did the A & E version make over $400,000,000? I doubt it even made 40 million.
The director of the A & E version Andrew davies also directed "Bleak House" with Gillian Anderson (I love her.) See, I know my chick flicks.
Keira Knightly was in the other P & P movie.
I liked her in "Bend it Like Beckham" but I haven't seen her in the new Pirates of the Carribean Movie.
Should I go see that? Everyone else has...
I have heard of Austin Powers movies, I think I saw some ads for it, I guess I was just too narrowminded to watch it. Is it really worthwhile?
No, it's very "Worldly."
Or "Whirley" as one of the ladies at the church used to say. Everything was always "whirley" to her.
Bleak House was fabulous. It was so much fun because I had just read the book and recomended it to my sister before we heard they were making the show. It was very true to the book. My sister and my niece and I all loved it
Americans have discerning taste?!
Bwahahahahahahahahaha!
Exhibit A:
McDonald's is the most popular resturant in the U.S.
Exhibit B:
Country music is the most popular form of music in the U.S.
Exhibit C:
Wal-Mart is the most popular retailer in the U.S.
Exhibit D:
NASCAR is the most popular auto racing series in the U.S. and the No.2 most popular sport overall.
Exhibit E:
Professional wrestling is consistently one of the highest rated shows on cable television.
As you can see, just because something, such as Austin Powers, is popular does not make it good. In fact, Americans tend to embrace the things that require the least amount of effort to comprehend.
I really like Gustave Flaubert's Madam Bovary (the book) I'd recommend you read that instead.
yup, that's just as I suspected. When I seed them advertisements for that there Austin Power's show I thought that sure enough looks like some kinda whirley show!
I was obviously being fescicious about Americans and their taste.
And I wish some illegal aliens would pick me up in their space ship so I wouldn't have to be "whirley" no more.
Are you sure you are spelling that right? Or are we talking about poop again?
We had a preacher who would alway claim that her could astound us with some "interlectual nuggets" (spelling is correct)but he wasn't going to do that, he was just going to give us the good ol' unvarnished "word."
I was always like OOOOHHH!! OOOOHH!! please astound me with some "interlectual nuggets!!" but he never did...
is "fecalishious" a word?
"Americans tend to embrace the things that require the least amount of effort to comprehend."
Like Georgie Bush.
I agree completely John...
And I mean he always tempted me withg "interlectual nuggets" at least 4 times every sermon.
facetious
hhmmm... I'm thinking facesomething,
fecalishious is disgusting, I hope it is not a word!
You forgot Exhibit "F":
George W. Bush is President and the Republicans control both Houses of Congress and the Supreme Court.
Yep, we're stupid all right!
facetious, i knew that looked wrong.
I've been hangin' with too many Republicans, now I can't even spell
Which of us republicans can't spell? I'm confused.
Nevermind. I'm sure it's Bush. I know he has trouble with the English language. I guess I set myself up for that one.
Is it "Potatoe" or "Potato?"
Anyone?
Mr. Quayle?
I handed you that one.
Republicans are "fecalishious!"!
rofl
Gud nite all!
And the migraine is back...
I caught the facetiousness. I just like to whip out the McDonald's/country music/WWE argument whenever someone tries to tell me that NASCAR is the best because it is so popular. I just got a little excited.
As far as books, I'm not much of a fiction reader, although I do pick up the NY Times on occasion. The last couple books I have read are “Man of Honor” by Joseph Bonanno, and “Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews” by James Carroll.
Bonanno was banished to Tucson by the crime families.
My dad met Bonanno and talked to him a few times. Said he carried himself like a nice humble gentleman.
I prefer Costco to Walmart. Walmart is like the Costco for the great unwashed. And the Costco employees just seem a lot smarter and more "with it" than the Walmart employees. (Sorry Zion!)
I get a lot of vacant cow-like stares from the Walmart employees whenever I ask a question.
Plus Zion if you like WalMart so much why didn't you just put in for a transfer instead of quitting? Hurold transfered to Texas via Cingular and he never skipped a beat.
Bonanno wasn't "banished." He had been living off and on in Tucson for years before he left the "Mafia." His son had breathing problems so his family spent as much time in the arid climate as they could.
At least that's what his book said.
He also had "family" ties to Stockton a son or something who owned a car dealership or something and got busted after some sort of sting.
He claimed be was being targeted and harassed because he was a Bonanno I don't know if that was the son with breathing problems.
His son Bill Bonanno also wrote a book. (widely panned) I heard Joe was banished. Youse gotta problem wit dat?
