Downing Street #2
Just how many more 'memos' are we going to need before we get this fool out of office? Every single day he is in the White House he is further damaging our country, reputation and the future of generations to come.
At this point we, as Americans, look like idiots. We are sooo busy with our own lives that we can't take to the streets and demand change. If France can do it, why can't we? If Belarus can do it, why can't we?
We are lazy and complacent. We deserve what happens because we apparently don't care enough to make a difference or make our voices heard.
We haven't stood up for ourselves, our children, our environment, our troops(yellow ribbons don't count), or our jobs. What makes this newest realization any different?

Just when I think I couldn't get more disgusted with the Bushies, I stumble on this. Just incredible. These people do not have ONE compassionate bone in their bodies. It's all about the money no matter what or who is at stake or in need. Disgusting.
For everyone that was fooled into thinking that this woman is so sweet and grandmotherly...suck on dis

Bodies
Went to the remarkable Bodies: The Exhibition in Tampa Sunday.
Very cool. I thought that I might be a bit grossed out, but surprisingly not at all. **one exception** a tumor on display that came with its own little game: find its hair, teeth and eye OMG!!! That one will surely give me nightmares in a day or so after I have had time to subconsciously think about it!
All in all, the exhibit is an eye-opening journey into ourselves. Very educational and enlightening.
We loaded up at the early Sunday morning time of 7am and were looking at Bodies by 9am. Not too shabby.
for those of us with crazy mothers and selves...a little explanation
BEIJING, March 22 (Xinhuanet) -- Depressed mothers can pass their psychiatric problems on to their children, U.S. researchers reported Tuesday.
The children of mothers who are successfully treated for depression have a markedly reduced risk of developing psychiatric disorders themselves, the research has found.
But a mother's continued depression increases her child's risk of such problems, the researchers said.
It is believed to be the first published research on the link between remission of a mother's depression and her child's mental health.
"If you have a depression mother, you ought to do everything you can to get her better, because there's a double effect," said study author Myrna Weissman, a professor of psychiatry and epidemiology at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute in New York City.
"While depression may be a genetic disorder, it has a strong environmental component. And, for a child, a parent's illness is a very strong environmental effect. You want to reduce that effect so that you can have a beneficial effect on the child," Weissman said.
The study, conducted between December 2001 and April 2004, involved 151 mother-child pairs from eight primary care and 11 psychiatric outpatient clinics. The children were aged 7 to 17, and more than one-third came into the study with a psychiatric disorder, including depression, anxiety and disruptive behavior.
By the end of three months, about a third of the mothers saw their depression go into remission. Among their children, there was an 11 percent drop in rates of psychiatric diagnoses. But among children of mothers who were still depressed, there was an 8 percent rise in diagnoses.
The relationship between mothers' depression and children's diagnoses at the end of three months was similar whether or not the children had a diagnosis at the beginning of the study.
The study also highlights the impact of depression on the entire family. "We know that depression affects not just the person who is suffering but the whole family," according to the researchers. "It was so encouraging that if the women got better, the kids got better. Who doesn't want a well child?"

3 years is long enough
I am so sick of seeing Bush run all over the country defending this idiotic war, and now civil war. What an embarrassment. With the way he walks and talks you'd think he has a set of balls the size of his home state. Instead, when it comes down to it, he is a gutless wonder. We should wonder what possessed half of America to vote for him.
Fucking "win" it or get out already!

the time is now
A recent poll shows that 53% of Americans think the articles of impeachment should have already been drawn up on this president.
Now is the time to speak up if you agree. Don't wait for our elected representatives to decide when to get on the bandwagon. It is apparent after the lack of support shown last week for Russ Feingold's censure measure that the people we think are acting on our behalf for the best is not true. What would it have hurt if the Democrats got their act together and supported this measure? What are we waiting for? The beast is hurt, ailing even. Strike now while it is weak and the support system is failing. The longer we wait to stand up for ourselves is one more minute the Republicans have to re-group and start the machine all over again.
Be a part of a movement to impeach this most miserable president in history. If it was done for a blowjob, surely it can be done for tens of thousands of lives and lie upon lie upon lie.
Impeach Bush!
