A cousin of mine in Detroit posted this photo on his Facebook pages. Supposedly, this sign is located on Fort Street and Outer Drive, somewhere within the city limits. There are some parts of Dallas that need a similar sign.

Quote of the Day
“While many people, particularly younger people, rely more on social messaging than email, email is still the preferred method for long-form communication. Microsoft wants desperately to run away from Hotmail…. Hotmail got very stale with its feature set and needed to be replaced for this decade’s use of richer media, like photos and video, social connected accounts, video communications and chat.”
– Patrick Moorhead, an analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy, on the demise of Hotmail.
I had a Hotmail account – waaaaay back in 2003. Wow! That was so long ago.

5 Dumbass Statements by Ann Romney
In case anyone feels this broad doesn’t have a clue what real working people experience, just read through these gems that came from Ann Romney’s perfectly-manicured lips. Damn! She gives Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin some tough competition! Just remember, Ann Romney’s dressage horse gets a $77,000 tax credit, while the average child – including those of many Republicans who’ll probably vote for her husband – gets a paltry $1,000.
“We can be poor in spirit, and I don’t even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing. It can be here today and gone tomorrow.”
– To Fox News.
“Why are you here? What made you come out of your house today to this event? And what do you think about the future? I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people, too. And sometimes life isn’t easy for any of us.”
– Commenting on the average American woman at the Connecticut Republican Party’s Prescott Bush Awards Dinner in Stamford this past April.
“We were happy, studying hard. Neither one of us had a job because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time.”
– In a 1994 interview with the Boston Globe, when Mitt was running for the U.S. Senate.
In an interview with a Baltimore radio station, Queen Ann pressed the audience to believe that, despite her husband’s stiff demeanor and penchant for human and canine bullying, he was really lots of fun, adding that “we better unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out.”
“We’ve given all you people need to know.”
– In an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” when asked why more of Mitt’s latest tax returns won’t be released publicly.
I know there’s more from Queen Ann, but this is about all I could stomach for now. Hostile comments welcome.

Dog Found Dead with Mouth Taped Shut
Earlier this month I reported on a dog that someone found with its mouth taped shut in Parker County, Texas, just west of Fort Worth. The female pug mix was rescued and named Hope. She’s recovered from her injuries and has been adopted by the couple on whose ranch she was found. Now, comes yet another horrific case of a dog found with its mouth taped shut, except this one did not survive. The body of the female pitbull mix was found in Kaufman County, just south of Dallas, on Friday, July 27. The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Texas has offered a $5,000 reward leading to information about the animal.
Dogs, like most animals, pant to keep cool; thus, forcing a dog’s jaws shut could cause it to overheat. In the triple-digit temperatures Texas has been experiencing lately, that could be deadly. Psychologists also have noted a link between animal cruelty and human violence. Some of the world’s most notorious serial killers, rapists and / or pedophiles had a reputation for animal abuse. Fortunately, law enforcement officials – in Texas and elsewhere – now take these matters seriously.
The dog in Kaufman County was taken to the SPCA’s Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas for a necropsy. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Department at (972) 932-4337. It would be wishful thinking to expect that whoever is responsible for either of these abuse cases could suffer the same fate.

This is the same part-time former governor of Alaska whose oldest daughter admitted she got drunk, before jumping into bed with a guy she hardly knew.

“I crawled out of the swamp and I’m not crawling back in.”
– President George W. Bush, on the current presidential campaign.
Ah hah! Now, we know where he was really born!
I support gun rights, but their extremist supporters here in the U.S. always go too far. And, they keep terrorizing the American body politic into doing their bidding.
Egregious actions and the complete lack of human empathy, compassion and ethics is what this week has brought to us in the wake of Aurora. I will not go on a tear about Gun Rights or my position on them, yes, I have one and it might surprise many who know my history. What I will do though is pull some very real actions and words from this past week’s headlines and talk about why we are completely out of control as a nation, that we casually accept this behavior and these words. That many of us think nothing of these ‘Leaders’, elected or otherwise vomiting their vitriolic and noxious thinking into the airwaves without a single person standing up and saying to them;
SHUT THE F’ UP YOU VILE EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING
Example One – Rep. John McCaherty (R-High Ridge)Missouri will be raffling off an AR-15…
