First Week and wanting to talk to Derrick

I know that life is wonderful and all of that, but Derrick was my husband for ten years. I just want to talk to him and make certain that he isn't dead.

I know that I am the one that did the breaking up, but that doesn't mean that I am the worst person on the planet and don't want his friendship.

At the same time, my husband would kill me if he thought that I wanted any kind of contact.

I don't think that it is fair that love is supposed to go away without a second thought.

Loving Ann Coulter

You know, she can be a real psycho, but basically, she is still right most of the time. While I don't agree with her reasons against abortion, I do believe she has a right to believe them, I believe that she is dead-on when it comes to why people will bend over backwards to kiss Clinton's ass

Here is her column for today, she rocks.

If you wonder why it took 50 years to get the truth about Joe McCarthy, consider the fanatical campaign of the Clinton acolytes to kill an ABC movie that relies on the 9/11 Commission Report, which whitewashed only 90 percent of Clinton's cowardice and incompetence in the face of terrorism, rather than 100 percent.
Islamic jihadists attacked America year after year throughout the Clinton administration. They did everything but blow up his proverbial "bridge to the 21st century." Every year but one, Clinton found an excuse not to fight back.
The first month Clinton was in office, Islamic terrorists with suspected links to al-Qaida and
Saddam Hussein bombed the World Trade Center.
For the first time ever, a terrorist act against America was treated not as a matter of national security, but exclusively as a simple criminal offense. The individual bombers were tried in a criminal court. (The one plotter who got away fled to
Iraq, that peaceful haven of kite-flying children until Bush invaded and turned it into a nation of dangerous lunatics.)
In 1995 and 1996, various branches of the Religion of Peace -- al-Qaida, Hezbollah and the Iranian "Party of God" -- staged car bomb attacks on American servicemen in Saudi Arabia, killing 24 members of our military in all. Each time, the Clinton administration came up with an excuse to do nothing.
Despite the Democrats' current claim that only the capture of
Osama bin will magically end terrorism forever, Clinton turned down Sudan's offer to hand us bin Laden in 1996. That year, Mohammed Atta proposed the 9/11 attack to bin Laden.
Clinton refused the handover of bin Laden because -- he said in taped remarks on Feb. 15, 2002 -- "(bin Laden) had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him." Luckily, after 9/11, we can get him on that trespassing charge.
Although Clinton made the criminal justice system the entire U.S. counterterrorism strategy, there was not even an indictment filed after the bombing of either Khobar Towers (1996) or the
USS Cole (2000). Indictments were not filed until after Bush/Ashcroft came into office.
Only in 1998 did the Clinton-haters ("normal people") force Clinton into a military response. Solely because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Clinton finally lobbed a few bombs in the general direction of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
In August 1998, three days after Clinton admitted to the nation that he did in fact have "sex with that woman," he bombed
Afghanistan and Sudan, doing about as much damage as another Clinton fusillade did to a blue Gap dress.
The day of Clinton's scheduled impeachment, Dec. 18, 1998, he bombed Iraq. This accomplished two things: (1) It delayed his impeachment for one day, and (2) it got a lot of Democrats on record about the monumental danger of Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction.
So don't tell me impeachment "distracted" Clinton from his aggressive pursuit of terrorists. He never would have bombed anyone if it weren't for the Clinton-haters.
As soon as Clinton was no longer "distracted" by impeachment, he went right back to doing nothing in response to terrorism. In October 2000, al-Qaida bombed the USS Cole, killing 17 sailors and nearly sinking the ship.
Clinton did nothing. This is only an abbreviated list of Clinton's surrender to Islamic savagery. For a president who supposedly stayed up all night "working" and hated vacations, Clinton sure spent a lot of time sitting around on his butt while America was being attacked.
According to Rich Miniter, author of "Losing Bin Laden," Clinton's top national security advisers made the following classic Democrat excuses for doing nothing in response to the Cole attack:
Attorney General
Janet Reno "thought retaliation might violate international law and was therefore against it."
CIA Director George Tenet "wanted more definitive proof that bin Laden was behind the attack, although he personally thought he was."
Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright' was concerned about the reaction of world opinion to a retaliation against Muslims and the impact it would have in the final days of the Clinton Middle East peace process." (How did that turn out, by the way? Big success, I take it? Everybody over there all friendly with one another?)
Secretary of Defense William Cohen "did not consider the Cole attack 'sufficient provocation' for a military retaliation."
Less than a year after Clinton's final capitulation to Islamic terrorists, they staged the largest terrorist attack in history on U.S. soil. The Sept. 11 attack, planning for which began in the '90s, followed eight months of President Bush but eight years of Bill Clinton.
Clinton's own campaign adviser on Iraq, Laurie Mylroie, says Clinton and his advisers are "most culpable" for the intelligence failure that allowed 9/11 to happen.
Now, after five years of no terrorist attacks in America, Democrats are hoping we'll forget the consequences of the Democrat strategy of doing nothing in response to terrorism and abandon the Bush policies that have kept this nation safe since 9/11. But first, they need to rewrite history.

She just kicks so much ass!

5 years later

I can't believe that it has been five years. I remember that day just like it was yesterday. So much of my life has changed since that day. I left my husband so that I could start a family, and married someone that isn't sure that he wants kids. I stopped talking to my parents because they do nothing but hurt me, and now my sister is hurting by herself with them. It does enforce the reason that I left, but I do feel badly that she has to deal with it on her own. I am about 2 weeks from kicking my sister out of my house because she is hurting me too. It has been almost a year since she broke my heart in 15 pieces.

But, all in all, life is good. Terrorists can go straight to hell (if it exists) and we will catch their sorry asses anyway. School is coming along nicely and I am making a ton of cash. Basically, life rocks.

Croc Hunter

I live in a world that Steve Irwin doesn't live in anymore. I don't really know how to feel about that. I watched the Croc Hunter with my ex-husband in a horrible little hotel room turned apartment right before we got married. Watching the Croc Hunter was something that brought us closer and helped us turn into the people that we are today.
I never believed that nasty animals needed to be protected. Animals like crocodiles that are keystone species and can survive for a hundred years in conditions that would put humans in the ground in 30 are predators. They kill sweet little mammals that have their own babies to feed... I never liked them much. Why would they need to be protected, they can certainly eat me alive so why should I do anything to help them? Living in Florida and growing up on the backwaters of the St. Johns River did not teach me anything but fear for large and even small aligators, not to mention the estruary crocodiles that I would see signs for when passing the Everglades and into the Florida Keys. Signs saying stay away and don't swim here...
Why on earth would I do anything to help a predator?
After watching Steve and Terri, I couldn't feel anything but passion for these incredible animals that have thousands of years of evolution making them into the beautiful predatory beasts that they are.
Steve and Terri were happy to risk their own lives to help animals that they cared about. The time that Steve jumped into the concrete small pond that the meanest crocodile that I have ever seen was in because it was going to hurt itself by resisting... there is an indefinable spirit about a person that has the courage of his convictions. He said that the last thing that anyone wanted to do was to get in that pond because the croc had been mistreated and would take it out on anyone that went in there... but because he was hurting himself, Steve was perfectly fine with putting his own life on the line so that the croc could be transported to his zoo where he would be happier.

I don't really believe in heaven, but I do believe that what comes around goes around and Steve helped so many animals and so many people...
The world is a much better place for having Steve Irwin in it and I will miss him.
