The pain and the shame the Akin comments brought to the surface again.
And in some ways what Akins said maybe correct, but not for any of the reasons he and his like believe. I need to explain what happened that causes me to say this. If you do not want to read my story, please at least read the last 3 paragraphs to understand why I say he is partially correct, but in a sad and personal way.

I am writing this because, well just because. I read DailyKOS daily sometimes hourly; however, I am not a high profile or prolific contributor. I have written very few diaries, and in the past months have not even posted any comments.

So I figure, no one will even read this or care. And to be honest, it does not really matter; I just needed to write this.

Sometime last year my outrage meter broke. I can not remember what caused it to break. I was outraged about so many things. Maybe it just took time for the 2004 election results to sink in (I help persuade over 2 dozen life long republicans to vote for Kerry)

Maybe it was the fact that American Idol was getting about 1000% more news coverage than the war dead (U.S., Allies, and Iraqis) This nonsense kept reminding me of the old Russian saying "The people get the government they deserve" which now not olny applies to Russia but also to the U.S.

Maybe my outrage meter broke, when I realized how it was affecting my personal life, my family, what few friends I had, and my health.

So what are we going to do about it.

Honestly, thing continue to get worse. We seem to read more news everyday about what is going on with our Government

Unjust war
Gitmo & Abu Ghraib
Plumegate
Abramoff
Warrantless Wiretaps.

The list goes on & on & on.

But we really need to be ready for the next revelation

"I am Mad as HELL and I can not take it anymore"
OR
"Ends DO justify the means, and we (liberals) need to understand and adopt it."
OR
"We are dealing with TERRORIST… the bu$h Administration."

I just got though reading the following news and diaries:

I got hooked on weatherundergroud.com during Katrina. It is so full of information I can not find anywhere else.

This evening I was reading the "Bush gag orders National Weather Service" diary. And as always, tried to log into Weather Underground...and it will not come up.

I have been trying now for the last 2 hours, and still nothing.

Anyone have a clue what is going on? I hope it is just technical difficulties, and nothing to do with the shrub's gag order.

If we can no longer depend on our government?

If we can no longer depend on our government to do what is right, to be responsible, to be accountable, who can we turn to and depend on?

I believe that most, if not all, politicians are only concerned about their next campaign. They are too afraid to do ANYTHING that might hurt their chances of reelection.

I think right now, all politicians… Dems and Repugs, local, state, and federal… should STOP all business (except to aid those displaced by Katrina) until this failed administration is ousted… All business, Robert's vetting, tax cuts for the rich… EVERYTHING.

But, we all know this is not going to happen… Read More

I live in Memphis, we have over 10,000 people here displaced by the storm. I work with many, who's families have lost everything.

I have been thinking for the past 3 days only one thing. I used it as a reply to another post, then thought it was time that I actually wrote a diary. I hate to type, and I mis-spell a lot. And when I get MAD, I shake, and type even worse. But I really really need to get all of this off my mind.
