We may have to share it with em,but I'm gonna make em as miseable as possible this year !!

It aint gonna be any fun bein a liberal around me anymore.. My patience with em is G.O.N.E. .. I thought that they would eventually wake up and see what was happenin, but they refuse to be responsible and take into account the situation of the present World Events..

I dont give a shit if I have to beat it into em, but they are gonna get a dose of REALITY from Wild Bill !!

I'm a man on a MISSION !! They say "the sqweeky wheel gets the grease", well, they better get em a Haliburton Contract for grease cause I'm gonna be sqweekin just as gotdam LOUD as I can..

I dont have too bad of a case of the "head" today, even tho I gave it a helluva try.. Everybody else around me last nite didnt fare so well tho !! Them small dogs shoulda stayed on the porch !! The Mrs. and my buddy Billy are bitchin and moanin about tryin to run with the BIG DOG last nite..

I got out a bunch of my old records and relived a New Years of the 1940's, '50's, '60's, 70's, and '80's.. We danced to some Glenn Miller and Tommyand Jimmy Dorsey and then went to some old Country that just dont get heard anymore.. Billy is an old Air Force retiree and and a real good friend that lives a coupla blocks from me.. We are gonna get a GOOD garden goin this year.. He lost his wife to cancer the first of last year and it wasnt a good year for him.. We had a long talk last nite and he has a whole new outlook for '07 and plans to put his mournin behind him and resume his life again.. Bein 70 years old and startin over again aint gonna be easy, but he has some good friends that will help him get back into the swang of thangs..

As long as the terrorists and the Liberals are held at-bay this year, I see lots of good stuff happenin..

If The Old Ranter can get his eyesight back into focus we should be able to gather a coalition of us to push for a strong and proud America again !! Our survival depends on it..

I am sorry for yer friend's loss as well. It reminded me of a poem written by the husband of one of our hospice patients. Such great love.

We've no choice but to go on. He can connect with her through his garden. A labor of love with a great friend like you.

I stand at the bedside of many husbands and wives losing each other after 50 or 60 years and I am very amazed at the strength of love and the will to go on. And the dignity....it is as if the departed one has now become embedded in the living. Always available to them on an internal viseral level---after a period of intense hollow grief and loneliness.

This poem really hit me hard with realization of the depths of such love. I share it with you in honor of yer friend Billy.


GONE FIRST

Death's hard for the dying,
and the one who cares.
Things too easy said,
"I'd trade places with you
On your death bed."
It cannot be.

When it is over
One's set free.
The other.
The other must go on.
It is hard. As hard as dying?
Is it harder?

Then comes the thought,
"I'm thankful she died first."
She will not suffer dying twice.

By Dennis in memory of his wife, Dorothy.
