Torture?

I don't know about you, but I would much rather be tortured by being held naked in a cold cell, kept from being fed, handcuffed and slammed against a wall (United States approved methods) than beheaded (Islamic extremists approved methods).

How about the terrible psychological technique that was approved but never used ...... putting a detainee with a fear of insects into a box filled with caterpillars (United States)..... OR.... hung and burned in public (al Qaida).

But that's just my opinion.

Right Wing Extremists Ice Water Teas

I can't tell you how excited I am to learn from the Department of Homeland Security that, upon returning from Afghanistan, my husband could be recruited by Right Wing Extremist Groups. Apparently, they want to "capitalize on the violent capabilities" of returning Veterans. Woo HOO! Because those 4 years of College, 4 years of Medial School and 6 years of a General Surgery Residency have given him the "skillz" necessary for being an extremist.

You know, I am sure that while my Navy Surgeon husband is reattaching that kids leg and when he is elbow deep in someone's belly, he is thinking about what extremist group to join. Geez, so many choices.

It's like Extremist Sorority Rush! Do we want to go with the Christian Coalition or the Aryan Nation. Decisions, Decision!

Wow, thanks for the heads up, Janet! While you are sticking violent labels on people how about these?

Why don't you follow up on that report with the one about how the Central American teens in abject poverty are in danger of falling in with the incredibly violent MS13 Gang.

I wouldn't want to label poor black kids as possible Gang recruits just because they stand on the street corner, wear baggy jeans, listen to rap music. I am sure that the Drug Dealers only target the kids that stay in school.

How about the Left Wing Environmental nuts that burn car dealerships and housing developments? How about the Nation of Islam? Has anyone checked into your local Mosque? Or would that be discriminatory?

So, if anyone can tell me where to get a list of these extremist groups, I would like to start weeding out the "non-desirable" ones for my husband. When he gets home he can have a short list of choices that can use his violent military training.

Maybe they have a spouses group that I can join too.

The floating shoe

I am still laughing about my afternoon!

I helped at the 2nd Grade Easter Party today. I was working on activities for the kids since we were NOT going outside due to the terrible weather. I was trying to get out of the school before the bad weather hit, but didn't make it. Once the rain stopped I gathered the older two girls to make a dash across E. Wright Street to pick up Camille from Mother's Day Out.

Well, the water rushing down the street was ankle deep and when I took my second step my shoe goes floating down E. Wright. I started laughing. Mary Frances took off and retrieved my show..... and everyone in carpool got a good laugh. God it was so funny. Both the girls were laughing. One of those funny Mommy/Daughter moments.

If I had lost the shoe I guarantee I would see a one legged hobo wearing it next week.
