With tax refunds coming out, I thought I'd mention these kind people again:

rays of hope

Like a lot of little charities, they offer items on Ebay. I just got a receipt in the mail for a vet visit that I helped fund.

If you can't donate, you can click!

The charity is located in a small Kentucky town, and the husband is another veteran like me. Taking care of animals can be very healing, at least if they're not Jezebel in one of her moods. That cat is like Lindsay Lohan with more body hair.

I'm trying to find something to write about, but frankly, it's all too damned depressing and there's too much of it. There's the news from Pandagon that a woman in a wheelchair was tazed to death, while a man having a grand mal epiletptic seizure was tazed. Also, from Pandagon, for the sixth year running, the LAPD found that not one accusation of racial profiling was justified. The newspapers are referring to the "Incest family" in Germany, while it seems the word 'rape' only gets mention in reference to natural disasters or unfair tax burdens or burdensome child support payments. A female soldier got a Silver Star for bravery in combat---then her commander removed her from the unit to put them in compliance with the 'no women in combat' rule, which I fear might be the start of a conservative strategy in dealing with women in the war. A dockworkers' strike on Mayday that closed all 29 ports on the West Coast received no coverage whatsoever in the mainstream news, thus keeping from people an example of people fighting powerful interests---and succeeding.

The only good news is that Eugene Beale, notorious coward, hypocrite, and Xtian, got convicted for tax evasion and is going to be put in the slammer. Read all about it at Shakesville, where the groupies of his son, Vox Day, have shown up to defend their hero.

No news from the VA, but I did manage to pay bills this week and have thus far kept my water on, my phone connected, and my internet up and running.

I just have to find a new zombie movie or something. I'm watching Diary of the Dead, the new Romero flick, and wondering why it didn't get released in the theatres? It's pretty good. What's the deal with that?
