Happy Birthday!
Posted on July 22, 2013
There are a couple of notable birthdays to celebrate today – can you guess which ones??



And we mourn the loss of one of journalism’s brightest stars and most fearless activists – Helen Thomas. who never shied away from the tough issues. A woman who fought tirelessly for the rights of the oppressed and for equality under the law. She never failed to ask the difficult questions about our position toward Israel, our illegal invasion of Iraq, or our occupation of Afghanistan. We may never see another like her.

“They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.” – Helen Thomas

As Huffington Post reports:



Helen Thomas, the trailblazing reporter and columnist who was known as the “Dean of the White House Press Corps,” has died at 92.

The Gridiron Club, the press group that counted Thomas as its first female member, announced the news in an email, Politico first reported. The Associated Press said Thomas had been sick “for a long time.”

Thomas was the first woman to become a chief White House correspondent for a wire service, and the first to join—and lead—the White House Correspondents’ Association. She served as White House correspondent for United Press International (UPI) for 39 years. She then moved to Hearst, where she became a columnist with increasingly open political views, though she retained her prime spot at White House press briefings.

Thomas covered every president from Kennedy to Obama. She was the only woman who traveled with Richard Nixon on his trip to China. She was the person who ended every presidential press conference by saying, on behalf of her fellow journalists, “Thank you, Mr. President.”

By the end of her career, her chair in the White House briefing room had been adorned with, as the New York Times wrote, “a small plaque with her name, the only seat in the briefing room designated by the name of a person, not a news organization.”

Thomas became known for her tough, relentless questioning of presidents and press secretaries. It was not an uncommon sight to see a president repeatedly saying, “Helen—Helen—Helen,” as he tried to get a word in edgewise. She became a special foe of the Bush administration, whose policies she openly loathed. President Bush famously refused to call on her at press conferences for years at a time, perhaps due to exchanges like this one, as described by the AP:

In March 2005, she confronted Bush with the proposition that “your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis” and every justification for the attack proved false.”Why did you really want to go to war?” she demanded.

When Bush began explaining his rationale, she interjected: “They didn’t do anything to you, or to our country.”

“Excuse me for a second,” Bush replied. “They did. The Taliban provided safe haven for al-Qaeda. That’s where al-Qaeda trained.”

“I’m talking about Iraq,” she said.

It was that outspokenness that led to Thomas’s resignation from her White House job in 2010. After she was recorded on tape saying she thought Israelis should “get the hell out of Palestine,” the ensuing controversy forced her to step down.

Such bravery, in the face of tyranny. May we all be so fearless in our pursuit of truth.

We're well here, and I hope that all is well with you and the NJ cats! Don't know if you saw it or not, but we have an intact feral male who has been here for a while, and we've been feeding him out in the yard. The girls are getting tired of him - fighting and such - called a friend who gave me some numbers to call as they have different traps than I have to hopefully get him to our vet, vaccinated, neutered and returned here.

When it rains it pours in more ways than one. Someone rear ended our Ford Ranger truck when Charlie was going to pick Cory up where he's been training to get ready to go to Marine boot camp. Lucas cracked the windshield in the Vue, and didn't think he needed to mention it to us. I noticed it when I returned home from running errands to get ready to have people over this past Sat. and the crack is getting larger. He's gonna take it to be repaired tomorrow morning at 8. Need my car to deal with the feral cat! My hair is getting grayer, and I may pull some of it out!

Have a great tomorrow! The Mr. keeps asking me if we're gonna become the 'cat lady' , but he'd take those kittens in a heartbeat. We had three kittens here at one time with our male, Nosy, (I still miss him), and he thought that those kittens were the greatest!

Yeah, Mr. trying to be a hard ass, would take them in a heartbeat!
