Say WTF? Cheney fears Iraq withdrawal will ‘waste’ U.S. sacrifices

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

“I hope the Iraqis can deal with it,” Mr. Cheney said. “At some point they have to stand on their own, but I would not want to see the U.S. waste all the tremendous sacrifice that has gotten us to this point.“

via Washington Times – EXCLUSIVE: Cheney fears Iraq withdrawal will ‘waste’ U.S. sacrifices.

Waste? WASTE?  I guess if all they were there for was to keep the “locals” from their own oil wealth.

I PRAY FOR YOUR ARREST, TRIAL  & CONVICTION FOR TREASON FOR GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO OUR ENEMIES.

TRAITOROUS PIG FUCKER THAT YOU ARE.

I now know where the ACLU’s Priorites Lay

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

Yep, I now have Federal proof of Citizenship & Name. Still not good enough for the State of NJ. They still want me to undertake an undue burden and go to court and CHANGE MY NAME. yes, New Jersey expects me to file a petition to return to my birth name, so, five months after that, I can go back to court and seek to change my name back to the name I have used since 1988. The name my bank account is in, the name my passport is in. Undue Burden.

Background diary:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/1/26/677713/-An-Update-to-my-REAL-ID-Nightmare
Wither the ACLU/NJ?
They called me a few months ago, sort of expressing interest. I told them I was willing to go public, and telling them there were no skeletons in my closet – I’m still waiting on them to call back.

In the meantime, the ACLU has decided that going to bat for aRon Paul supporter who was harassed by the TSA for his carrying $4,700 in cash was more important than my being able to get a drivers license. I cannot write a check, because a passport isn’t acceptable ID for those companies that do check verification. Can’t get a library card.

But I CAN pay state taxes. The State acknowledges my name by the collection of taxes,yet, won’t issue me ID..

I now think, that I am waiting for my own “Godot” – that the ACLU/NJ doesn’t really exist, yet we all think it does and we hope it shows up.

My next step? file the damn lawsuit on my own. Pro Se. that’s what it’s called, isn’t it?

The Hazards of ‘holding it together’

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

Been thinking about that a lot. About how hard I’ve worked since the mugging to “keep’ what I was prior to the brain injury. Came to a conclusion: forget it. It’s too much work for no reward. I’ve ‘kept it together’ for nigh unto ten (10) years and all I have to show for it is a job that just pays my expenses and nothing more. Pehaps, if I had support from people in my situation, and not just rehashing the events of May 1, 1999, or how they received their TBI, maybe, just maybe, it would be different. As it stands… In the course of my recovery, support was the one thing I lacked. My then BF couldn’t be bothered to ask or to gowith me. He just kept on like nothing had changed for him. Selfish Bastard that he is. So, thanks, Joshua for not a single fucking thing. ‘Keeping it together’ I’m tired of trying to be what I no longer am. Exhausted, actually. Stay tuned

Brain Injury, Melancholy and Being Stuck

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

I called the Brain Injury Assoc.of NJ two days ago. I think I”m not brain injured ‘enough’ for them, despite what I was told. No referral list has hit my email box. So, I stay stuck. can’t get out of a hole when no one will throw you a lifeline. So, today, I took the step of stopping the ‘happy face’ shit. I take no meds, so no withdrawl. I simply don’t desire to suppress the so-called ‘bad’ feelings that I call “Melancholy”, and my mom called it “unhealthy brooding”. Got news for you: being happy all the time is impossible if you’re not on drugs. Fuck that. I prefer having real emotions over pharmaceutically induced one.

Let’s hear it for Personality Disorder NOS!!!! WOOO WOOOO and fuck you you insensitive mother-fuckers.

BREAKING: Twitterer Blocks Cat for Pointing Out conflation of Armed Basij Militias & ACORN

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

It started with this tweet:

RT @ExurbanJon: I’m not Iranian, but “Basij” appears to be the Farsi word for “acorn”. HAHAHA!

and this is what followed:

@caraellison So glad 2 know U find the shooting of unarmed citizens by CITIZEN MILITIAS funny. probly cheered Kent State, 2. asshole@caraellison U found humor in the conflation of the murderous Basij & acorn. Shame. Doesn’t matter if U wr alive when Kent State went dn…
@caraellison ….U wld had said “good job” ovr the killings. I was alive. & ppl cheered the killings…@caraellison said the students had it coming 4 peacefully protesting Vietnam. Shame for conflating murderers with acorn.

@StephenZunderfo Dude. Context. I ACORN stole elections 2. If u think I find this funy, you hvnt been reading my tweets 4 the past 24 hrs

Yes, they think ACORN STOLE elections….

Still doesn’t get it, and, blocks before this:

@caraellison Dude, ACORN isn’t shooting people. and, what election(s) did ACORN steal? links to neutral sites, plz no worldnet/breitbart.

While I don’t doubt the sincerity of this twitterer, the fact they would not explain why they found the conflation of ARMED “Citizen” Militias in the service of the State with ACORN funny, when Right Wing Extremists are murdering people at Worship and Health Care Providers in order to terrorize doctors and women into submission or are tryin gto murder people perceived to be “unAmerican” like Jews, Catholics, Unitarians,Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and anyone else not “European”(Teutonic) enough for them. These are the people that eat the offal of the likes of Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh. O’Reilly is irrelevant, and he hates that. He hates himself for being irrelevant. He hates Ailes for the buying of his soul. The others named? They gleefully sold their souls. May all their dream sbe haunted with by the victims of their hate. So, @caraellison, what elections were stolen by ACORN? Rhetorical, I know. I already know your answer.

The Events of the past few days

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

If you haven’t heard about the popular uprising in Iran following a bad attempt to rig the election, you must be a member of the Limbaugh Party as evidenced by this asshat of a tweet into the coverage via twitter:

StaunchConserv ByACORNhere2!?@chicago2cali:@StopAhmadi NEWS: Ppl recving calls w/ msg “U’ve participated in protest” 2 scare ppl #gr88 #iranelection #tcot

Yes, just had to shit in the bed. The little asshole wouldn’t know “popular uprising if it severed his dick. In fact, it’s being popularly ignored by the G(n)OP, since it doesn’t serve their agenda for an air strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. They, like Edward Teller, don’t give a rat’s ass about the people who would die as a result of such an action. Only about the “result”… which means all out war on Israel, and, their aim of the End Times.

As I watch the unfolding of events tweet by tweet, I am struck by how the Iranian people are more participatory in politics than we Americans. To us, it’s a chore, a hardship to serve on a jury or even to vote. I am an American and a Jew, and to the people of Iran I say “Allah-OAkhbar” God is Great and may He bless you with a true and just outcome to your aspirations and a lasting Peace between all People in the region Shalom/Salaam/Peace

THANKS MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS!

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

This has been weighing on me for a while. In college, I suffered a bout of severe depression. I told my parents about it, and they just blew it off. No surprise really. I mean when I was in High School, my mother noticed that I was indulging in “unhealthy brooding”, which I described to my friends as “suffering from melancholy”, but was anything done? No. Nothing, save that I was indulged in my unhealthy brooding. and, I learned to not let them know. I cut myself. with a pen. I was going to be an actor, and didn’t want scars. so, I ‘slashed’ myself with bic pens.

In junior college, I made an attempt to get counseling, but the mental health pro I saw sat there with a dispassionate, “You bore me” attitude. I never sought help again. The episode of depression happened while I was at UC Davis. I forced myself to class, and no one mentioned the silent crying in class. I sat there. with tears rolling down my face and not one classmate asked if I was “OK”. The first clue no one cared

My second clue was when, in 1997, I called the nyc Suicide Prevention, and had the dickhead on the line tell me he had to end the call. apparently threatening to kill ones self is not an emergency to him.

In 2001, a 9/11 crisis counselor sent me to a shrink and, I was diagnosed with Personality Disorder NOS. Which was a few years before my diagnosis of ADHD in 2005. Now, the doctor diagnosing my ADHD never prescribed anything for me.

and, where am I now? right about where I was in 1984. Unmotivated. and unhappy. and, the First Underachiever in my family.
