The Pitbull versus the Kitten 4
An adorable video showing the loving, yet very playful, relationship between a pitbull-boxer mix and an adorable, tiny, sweet kitten. The choice of music is perfect, too. Guns N’ Roses version of “Live and Let Die.”

The “War on Women” March TODAY – Local state listings here 12
My hits are way down comparatively, so I hope it’s because everyone is headed to, or getting ready to, head out to their local march.
Remember…
We are a Democracy, not a Theocracy.
A woman’s body was not made for the government’s legislation.

Roosevelt the Border Collie Happily RUNS in a Front-Wheeled Drive Cart 15
An absolutely tear-jerking, feel-good, heart-warming story about Roosevelt the rescued Border Collie dog who was born with malformed front legs but happily uses a unique front-wheeled cart to scoot around. He was named after former President Franklin D. Roosevelt who used a wheelchair after contracting polio.

What Memories Does this Song Trigger? “Beth” by KISS 40
I have read that the two predominant triggers for memories are smell and music. I have to agree with both. For quite a while after Mother died, anyone wearing her perfume would send me into a crying jag.
Nearly every song I know and love has an original memory attached to it. Many songs have a stack of memories now, but some, like this one below, primarily bring back my first memory of listening to it. This song just came on my computer music player (set on random), and the memories burst forth.
New Book Discloses How the GOP Planned to Unseat President Obama 21
Hot from the presses, just published on April 24th, is the book from the author of the New York Times bestseller Dead Certain - the definitive book about the Bush Presidency – is a new book which provides a revealing and riveting look at unmoral goals set forth by the Republican Party starting at the very moment of President Obama’s inauguration called Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives.
Somehow, this does not surprise me.

The Lie Among the Truths is Revealed 26
Tuesday night, I jumped aboard the Hobbler game-wagon and joined in her fun “Lie to Me” posting. So I posted “Find the Lie in the List of Truths about Me” where I had to list seven odd or little-known facts about me, but one being a lie. Then you readers are to guess which one it the fib.
Boy, did I get those that participated! No one guessed correctly.

How the War on Women’s March Came to Be | List of all state & city websites for the marches 21
I honestly cannot find any other way or words to tell the story of how the upcoming March on April 28th came to be. So here is the short article from Addicting Info. A very important read to understand where so many women are coming from who are in support of the War on Women movement.

Find the Lie in the List of Truths about Me 23
Okay, I am jumping aboard The Hobbler’s game “Lie to Me” where I must post 7 things about myself… six of which are true and one being a lie.
You are to determine which is the lie. Now some of you may recognize a few of the truths in my list since I have talked about them before – but that just eliminates a few truths. So you still have to figure out which is the lie.
My Mother Died from Mad Cow Disease in the US in 1986 38
I am so hopping mad, I am only able to see red right now….
I just finished watching Elizabeth Cohen on CNN tell how there has never been a case of a human contracting Mad Cow Disease in the United States. Well, Ms. Cohen is wrong. My mother died of the human form of Mad Cow Disease, otherwise known as Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (aka CJD), in 1986. The only time she had set foot outside of the United States was for a one-week trip to Austria in the late 1970′s. She was born and raised in Indiana, lived for a short period of time in Arizona, and never anywhere abroad.
War on Women | Eyes Closed, No Peeking 7
This is not my writing. Full credit with author’s name and link is given at the bottom of the post.
Dedicated to the governor of Pennsylvania, who suggested that women upset at being forced to have an unnecessary internal ultrasound should ‘close their eyes’, and to the Georgia legislator who wants to outlaw abortion even for a woman carrying a dead fetus because ‘cows and pigs do it all the time’ , and to the gentleman in Wisconsin who wants to outlaw divorce and says that women who are abused by their husbands should just ‘remember th good times’, and… and…. and….
