I HIT A KEY AND MY BLOG DISAPPEARED-WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

                      IT WAS ABOUT COFFEE PAJAMAS.  I HAVE NEW RED ONES WITH LEOPARD,CHEETAH, AND ZEBRA COVERED COFFEE CUPS.  INTERSPERSED AMONG THE STEAMING COFFEE CUPS ARE SAYINGS SUCH AS COFFEE BREAK AND COFFEE JUNKIE.  YOU ARE EITHER A COFFEE OR TEA DRINKER.
                       "WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEA?" WAS THE FAMILY MOTTO PROBABLY BECAUSE MY MOTHER WAS FROM IRELAND.   WATER WOULD BE BOILED, A TEAPOT USED WITH LOOSE TEA LEAVES, AND TEACUPS AND SAUCERS SET OUT.  AFTER DRINKING OUR TEA, WE WOULD PRETEND TO READ OUR FORTUNE.  TEA LEAF READING ENDED WHEN TEA BAGS BECAME POPULAR.  THE TEA RITUAL WITH CREAM AND SUGAR  HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
                          WITH THE ADVENT OF INSTANT COFFEE AND ELECTRIC PERCOLATORS,WE GRADUALLY DRANK MORE AND MORE COFFEE.    THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO IRELAND IN 1970, MY IRISH RELATIVES HAD BOUGHT A JAR OF INSTANT COFFEE FOR US.  NOW WITH IRELAND IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, ESPRESSO AND CAPUCCINO MACHINES ARE EVERYWHERE IN THE OLD SOD.
                               SO WE HAD A TEA PARTY EVERY NIGHT.  WHO KNEW IT WOULD BECOME THE RALLYING CRY OF THE RIGHT WING?  JUST WHEN I TAKE UP COFFEE. THE FLORIDA BUDGET WILL BE UNVEILED AT A TEA PARTY IN EUSTIS THIS MONTH.  OUR NEW REPUBLICAN MILLIONAIRE GOVERNOR WILL USE TEA NOT COFFEE TO DISCUSS FLORIDA'S FINANCES.  HE WILL BLAME STATE WORKERS' SALARIES AND PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS FOR THE HIGH FLORIDA GOVERNMENT EXPENSES.  THERE WILL BE NOTHING ABOUT WALL STREET BANKERS BANKRUPTING THE STATE WITH CARELESS MORTGAGES.  WHO PAYS THE TAXES ON ALL THOSE FORECLOSED HOUSES?
                              GOVERNOR SCOTT IS RICH.  MOST FLORIDIANS ARE NOT.  THEY FOOLISHLY BELIEVED THEY COULD AFFORD A HOUSE OTHERWISE WHY WOULD A BANK GIVE THEM A LOAN.  NOW THOSE HOMES ARE FINANCIALLY UNDER WATER.  WE NEED STATE HELP AND HEALTHCARE MORE THAN EVER. 
                                 LET THE RICH WHO PROFITED FROM HIGH HEALTH CARE COSTS AND OVERPRICED REAL ESTATE CONTRIBUTE TO THE STATE.  WHY PENALIZE STATE WORKERS?  WHY DECREASE PUBLIC BENEFITS? 

ORIGINAL TEA PARTY HOME

                                 GIVE US A COFFEE BREAK INSTEAD OF A TEA PARTY.  SEND FEMA, OUR HOUSES ARE UNDER WATER FINANCIALLY.  WE DON'T  NEED LESS GOVERNMENT SPENDING.  WE NEED MORE.  TAX THE RICH TO HELP THE POOR(AKA MIDDLE CLASS).

THE ARIZONA SHERIFF SAID VITRIOLIC POLITICAL VIEWS MUST BE TONED DOWN

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TUCSON CONGRESSWOMAN WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD AT A STRIP MALL POLITICAL RALLY, A CHILD WAS KILLED ,OTHERS DIED, AND MANY WERE WOUNDED BY A CRAZED GUNMAN, THE ARIZONA SHERIFF SAID VISCIOUS RHETORIC MUST BE STOPPED. LOUGHNER, THE 20 YEAR OLD KILLER DESPISED GIFFORDS VIEWS AND TARGETED HER.

IT WASN'T THE PRESS WHO BROUGHT UP THE SUBJECT OF HATEFUL RHETORIC,IT WAS THE SHERIFF. THE PRESS INVESTIGATED AND ACCUSED SARA PALIN OF PUTTING TARGETS ON A MAP SHOWING GIFFORDS DISTRICT. THEY WERE BULLS EYES. LOUGHNER PUT A REAL BULLS EYE ON GIFFORD WITH HIS GLOCK AND A 30 BULLET CLIP. A CHILD WAS IN HIS TARGET TOO. PLUS MANY OTHERS.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY AND WHO YOU TARGET. DON'T LIE TO GET ELECTED. STOP MUCKRAKING. EVEN THE HEAD OF FOX NEWS TOLD HIS REPORTERS TO TONE DOWN THEIR COMMENTARY.
WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH BUT NOT THE RIGHT TO SHOUT FIRE IN A CROWDED ROOM OR BULLS EYE TARGETS ON A MAP OF POLITICIANS TO BE ELIMINATED.

I HAVE SEEN HILLARY CLINTON COME ON THE TELEVISION SCREEN AND HAVE SEEN A GUN OWNER PRETEND TO TARGET AND SHOOT HER WITH HIS PRETEND GUN. WE ARE NOT JOHN WAYNE IN THE WILD WEST IN TRUE GRIT. WE ARE A COUNTRY OF LAWS WITH POLICE TO PROTECT US. WE DON'T NEED VIGILANTES AND GUNSLINGERS. IN FLORIDA,THEY DON'T WANT CONCEALED WEAPONS. I GUESS THAT SLOWS THEM DOWN WHEN THEY FACE DOWN A MARAUDER.

WE ALL GO OUT EACH DAY WITHOUT GUNS. ONLY THE GUTLESS NEED TO GO AROUND WITH GUNS. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO TAKE THEM TO THE HOME DEPOT. I GUESS IT CAN GET VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU TRY TO BUY A WRENCH.
