unfortunately, we dont remember mr. allen he must have been before our time.
in this news article about him and his passing from gannett'the town talk, mr. allen seems to confirm what we've contended all along -- which is politics is mostly all about crime gangs battling for control of money and power to steal for themselves and their criminal friends.

earlier today we got the bright idea of seeing if we could get a snap or two of what up till a few minutes ago we thought was our resident bull gator, mr bone stripper.
so we walked out there and sure enough there "he" was chilling in the middle of the water.
as we was trying to maneuver into position to take a snap, we could have sworn that we could hear this sound:

A Folktale by Ramona King – Directed by Rosa A. Metoyer
Set in Chicago during the early 1930s, the ladies of the N.W.O.Y.E. (Negro Women's Organization for Youth Education) have sent several young women from their church to college, financing the girls' tuition with bake sales.
Their efforts have been a success, but now, the Depression threatens the organization. When an application for a loan is flatly refused by the bank manager’s on grounds that “colored girls shouldn’t waste time on education,” the friends devise an elaborate scheme to “recover” the money from the bank—gangster style—and set the stage for hilarious suspense.
This crowd-pleasing favorite features performances by Andrea Martin, Sylvia Davis, Natalie C.F. Phillips, Karen Riley Simmons, Rosa A. Metoyer and introduces CPP Newcomer Chelsea Hammond.

eustace mullins in august 2000 at denver for the global sciences congress talks about american history and his research into the federal reserve bank -- which is neither federal nor a reserve but is actually a privately owned unconstitutional central bank foisted upon american's in 1913.memorable quote: "now, there was a french philosopher named prudhomme (phonetic - possibly sully prudhomme), about a hundred and fifty years ago, he said, 'all government is a crime.' he didnt say 'some government' he said 'all government is a crime.'
why is 'all government a crime'? because, law enforcement is an essential part of government and when you're in government then you dont have to enforce the law against yourself.
you dont have to arrest yourself and put yourself in jail. so it's very tempting, to criminal minds, to be in a position where they will never have to pay for their crimes and thats the essential draw of government service -- as they call it."

"jesse" says that if they were running a door knob against hazel he would vote for the door knob.
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
And sitting down they watched him there;

an emailer wonders:Rhode Island is under water from heavy rains.
before we received this email we hadnt heard much about whats turning out to be rhode island's record flooding.
In all the pictures I saw of Flooding I didn’t see any troops in there, or any military vehicles.
Is the Federal Government Slow in responding to this disaster too?
according to this report its the worst flooding there in century or more.
this report says that rains "isolated communities as it washed out bridges and rippled across thoroughfares from maine to connecticut."
angelo padula jr runs an auto restoration shop in west warwick, rhode island, he said:"I think we're all done," he said. "If the federal government doesn't give us disaster money, I don't think we can ever come back from this. You're talking millions and millions of dollars in these businesses. Now I know how the people in New Orleans felt."
there's been lots of fear mongering lately over the red river levees and as a result curiosity into the red river, atchafalaya, and bayou bouef levee district's activities has increased.
while everyone's attention has been focused on the condition of the levees, state representative robert johnson has been working HB 1107 a bill that allows a land swap between the rrabb and landowners.
in the first swap rrabb is exchanging a tract of land containing 9.99 acres and another tract containing 4.7 acres for 2.4 acres belonging to landowner brent scallan. so the state is swapping 14.69 acres for 2.4 acres? what kinda deal is that?
according to rep. johnson's testimony before the house transportation committee, its not actually a land swap but an easement. it has something to do with a boat ramp, part of which was built on mr. scallan's private property and he is "subject to some liability in that regard." hmmmm
rep. herbert dixon in the form of an amendment to the bill, is handling the the next swap. in it, the rrabb is exchanging 240 acres with the adjacent landowner donald bishop for 231.63 acres. well, thats a little better we guess.
yesterday afternoon around ten minutes till six we had just finished eating supper and was headed outside when we opened the back door and shay nay-nay was sitting on the stoop like she does when she wants in, so we held the door open for her but looking down at her as she passed by we noticed that her head looked kinda funny and she was lumbering towards her pallet -- instead of her usual trot.
so we turned around and followed her in. after she sat down and got to where we could see her, we was like oh lawd!
at first we thought that someone had busted her in the head with a baseball bat or pipe or something -- but that seemed pretty unlikely.
then we got to looking at that dark spot on her snout and thought maybe someone had shot her with a .22. but upon closer examination we noticed that her "wound" wasnt bleeding nor was there broken teeth or tissue nor could we see anything like an exit wound.
then it dawned on us that it must be a snake bite. we've had dogs on and off all our life and never had one to get bitten by a snake.
so, by this time it was about ten minutes after six, so we phoned up her vet, got the answering service and he called back right away.
the vet said that dogs "very rarely ever die from a snake bite," (how comforting) and if we wanted to bring her in it would cost $75.00 for an emergency after hours visit (the amount goes up as the night wears on becoming $90.00 after 9 pm) plus maybe up to a couple hundred dollars for all the shots, etc as well as their keeping her overnight.
the vet said that if we wanted to treat her ourselves, that if we had some benadryl we could give her that. luckily we had some. we cut open a caplet and mixed it in with a little water drew it up in a syringe (without the needle) and squirted it into the opposite side of her mouth from where the bite is.
UPDATE: when we took her to the vet a few days later the vet told us that we due to her weight and size we could have given her 3 benadryls. she weighed 68 pounds [31 kg].
she was able to take that and swallow it all down. we repeated that after several hours. thankfully, all the drooling stopped right after we took the first set of photos.
that seemed to help and after awhile the swelling seemed to be going down some. by 11:30 pm she was able to drink a good bit of water from her inside bowl then we let her outside where she urinated and came right back in the house. where she promptly went to sleep.
by 7:30 am she was ready to go outside so we let her out and she promptly left to make her usual rounds.
at 8:30 am she was back and ate what looks like a usual amount of her food.
she seems to be pretty much back to normal -- character wise, except of coz for the big block head.
we're scheduled to take her in a day or two to the vet to get her heartworm pills and toenails trimmed; hopefully he will advise us if we did anything right or wrong..
