Buffalo Gal

Our family decided to do something entirely new and different this summer.
We celebrated Christmas this past weekend….on a big pontoon on beautiful Big Cormorant Lake!
It is cold and nasty in December…everyone wants to stay in their own homes..including us!!!!
What better time of year to have a family celebration than the hot sunny days of late July? We are convinced that we did the absolutely right thing….”Christmas in July” was so much fun it is hard to put into words.
First off…nobody had to cook a big meal! We ate breakfast together at two homes because it takes two homes to house the whole bunch, as our Herd has increased and doubled in size over the past few years with one grandchild’s marriage and another one’s on the horizon…2 new “grandchildren….John and Danielle added to the original 8.
We made our own lake-lunches to take on the pontoon..easy..no cooking, no big mess. When we got done with our lake day we all went to Dairy Queen and ordered what we wanted for our suppers..no cooking…no big cleanup.
We ate a Dairy Queen cake to celebrate the summer birthdays in June-July and August. Ate off paper plates…no big cleanup there either.
The grandkids had drawn names for silly presents—10 dollars worth of things that started with the first initial of their names….A’s got applejacks and a few other A things….M got M and Ms….A’s got some shoe deodorizers that had an A in them….we had such a good time seeing the creativity of the Grands with their “gifts ” for each other. We will do that again!!! With
another device..like the first initial of their second names of the first initial of the month ih which they were born….it was too much fun not to do again.
Our day at the lake began about 9 a.m. when we loaded up a big pontoon and one big speedboat with our “stuff” for the day. 2 jet skis accompanied the other water craft We landed on a beautiful beach that is undeveloped thanks to two wonderful people who own a farm and have not allowed any of it to be sold for summer cottages or big atrocities(huge houses) to be built on that land..the beach is like it was a century ago or more…quiet and sandy and lovely with shallow, warm water for swimming..no dropoffs, no rocks no weeds..how perfect can it get?
We dallied there all morning and after we got hungry and ate our lunches, the grandkids wanted to launch out into deeper water so they could dive off the pontoon.
That was a wonderful “blast” for a Gramma and Grandpa to float on their “noodles” and watch the “Grands” put on a wild diving exhibition….and a couple of sons too..in their 40s but still kids at heart. I watched my forty-something son hurl himself backwards—- somersaulting off the pontoon many times. We were a mini- Olympic Diving team!!!! I spent so much time in the water on Saturday I got all “pruney” and wrinkled. The water was a perfect temperature..nobody got cold even in the deep water.
Many wild rides on special pull – behind rafts and a “Mable” sit-up sofa- like pull – behind were taken often and for great lengths of time. Water skiing and wake boarding were on the agenda also. Nothing neglected for sure!
A taunt of “Mom, you don’t drive wild enough” was answered with Mom dumping- flipping the taunting son and another grown – up grandson about 3 times til they were exhausted. Thank Goodness for wonderfully effective life jackets!!!!

Way too many snack foods were eaten throughout the day in spite of our relatively healthy lunches! “Gramma” finally had to “put it all” in a big beach towel (upchuck) after rocking in the waves for a couple of hours……nobody noticed me emptying my stomach of gummy bears, dill pickle chis, tiny oreos and tiny chips ahoy and health- food store popcorn curlies. But I really messed up a big beach towel!!!! Thankfully it washes nicely. And I felt a whole lot better afterwards.
We ended our day on the lake about 6 pm and gradually arrived at the local Dairy Queen where we all ordered something to call supper. NO COOKING—NO CLEANUP!!!!
“Christmas in July” TRUMPs December all to pieces!!!!!
Many of us went to sleep before 9 p.m. that night— totally tired out by sun, water and gentle breezes. We slept the sleep not unlike those who are drugged up on tranquilizers and sleeping pills,but our tranquilizers were nature and the day on and in the lake!!!!
We are doing this again next July!!!!!

TEMPEST NUMBER ONE: The Forum’s now-disputed policy of publishing homosexual engagement/wedding announcements.
How many letters to the editor will be seeing while other far more important issues go unpubished????
I predict that Von Pinnon and the FORUM will “cave” and that may be the end of the subscriptions to this regional newspaper. Readers and Subscribers have a way of making their own views known.

TEMPEST # 2: The ridiculous Chick-fil-A brouhaha in Chicago and Boston for starters. How many other “brave” city officials will also issue orders for no Chick-Fil-A’s to be approved in their cities? Now this is because the owner of the company believes that marriage is between a man and a woman. He does not push his views or not hire people because of his own personal views..but KATIE BAR THE DOOR!!!! He actually said that he thinks marriage is between men and women!!!!!!! Chicago Rahm Emanuel (delicate daisy ballet dancer) and the Boston Mayor whose name sounds like a breed of sheep..Merino?? Menino? (there may be something significant about bearing a name that sounds like a sheep)…these two mayors are strutting around and beating their chests and saying they will not allow Chick Fil A in thier cities.
I have news for them. The vaunted ALCU stands behind Chick-Fil-A and the puny stands of those wannabe – mayors will be overturned so easily in a court of law that you won’t even be able to say chicken fillet…or Jack Robinson!
If these two Dunderhead mayors would actually use their heads, Chick Fil-A and companies like them PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT for thousands of people who foremerly did not have jobs.
Maybe the Ballet Queen in Chicago should consider the jobs angle since he has a major problem with gangs of youth rampaging and killing each other and other people was well…all of them unemployed I would bet.
But of course he and the other Sheep have to score political points.
How thankful can one be that he/she does not have to live in those Jungles they call cities?????

Here is what Adam Schwartz , senior attorney for the Illinois ACLU said:
“The government can regulate discrimination in employment or against customers, but the government cannot punish somone for their word.”s” (duh! First Amendment?)
Further from Schwartz:
“When an alderman (Chicago) refuses to allow a business to open because its owner has expressed a viewpoint the government disagrees with, THE GOVERNMENT IS PRACTICING VIEWPOINT DISCRIMINATION” (emphasis is mine)
I hope the mayors get sued royally….not that it would help dumbheads like them.

Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School said that barring the restaurant raises serious consitutional concerns.
“It’s a slippery slope” (Turley again)
“If a city council started to punish companies because of viewpoints of chief executives, that would be a very long list of banned companies. (report in Newsmax July 26, 2012)

Both mayors (Chicago and Boston) show signs of being more concerned about getting re-elected or pleasing certain groups who have political agendas than they have the knowledge they SHOULD HAVE of legal and constitutional issues.
DUNDERHEADS…..DUM KOPFS….both of them.
Just wait til the ACLU runs them through the ringer.

It has been an unusual morning. There have been two rain showers and we are not used to that kind of day at all!
We are in the desert mode and it’s hard to get out of it!
The old adage about washing your car or hanging out clothes worked today…I hung out two loads of laundry and sure enough…half an hour later..a nice rain came through and rinsed them again.
The rain also messed up the birds’ food dishes..I used clay pot dishes for some feeders and the safflower seeds got soaked but it was almost empty anyway. I took the old safflower seeds inside and scrubbed up the clay dish and wiped it dry and added new safflower seeds.
I did the same with the jelly dish for the orioles and red finches…nice new jelly after getting it dissolved by the rain.
Now the birds are going bonkers over their new banquet….mama grosbeaks and the baby grosbeaks are especially abundant…papa grosbeak has been here too..actually two papa grosbeaks. I can tell them apart because one had very different black plumage than the other one. The grosbeaks–even the baby ones have beaks that look like small parrot beaks. So do the red finches who also love the safflower seeds. The nuthatches are at the mixed bird seed and the chipping sparrows are eating from the seed I scattered on the deck for them. Even the downy woodpecker is at the finch food hanging feeder. There is a dish with a melted puddle of suet but the Downy seems to prefer the finch mix. Later the Mourning Doves will strut around the deck floor and clean up birdseed for the day.
I discourage the black birds and red winged blackbirds who occasionally think they are welcome at the feeders. They can find their own wild food and leave my Grosbeaks, Orioles and red finches alone!!!
One female grosbeak dropped a feather the other day and it is spectacular. It is dark brown with perfectly aligned cream colored spots marching down the side of the feather in precision marking. It is a thing of beauty.
Once gain I stand in awe of the Creator God who made it all in perfection.
I think of the scripture each day I fill feeders: “consider the birds of the air…they do not sow or reap yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.”
So I am just assisting the Heavenly Father a little bit…even tho. there is not a sparrow that falls without HIS noticing it.
That is comforting right now because we are recovering (slowly) from the death of our precious Princess Kitty..rest in peace, Precious Little Friend. We are thankful for 14 wonderful years we had you. And we loved you and you loved us..every day of those 14 years.

Yesterday I cited a source for a long list of mass murders over hundreds of years both in the US and in other nations.
In today’s online news I discovered an article where Hollywood Film Director
Peter Bogdonovich says his film industry contributes to the violence in American life and elsewhere. It is unusual for a Hollywood director to make this observation. The Mainstream Media loves to place the blame for any violence on The Tea Party or Sarah Palin (take your pick). Brian Ross is getting his wings clipped at ABC due to his rash statement about the Tea Party but those in the know say that Ross is probably the “fall guy” for George Stephanopolis.
Bogdonovich spoke to a reporter at the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER about his conflicted feelings regarding his indutry’s role in creating a climate that produces someone like alleged shooter James Holmes.
In a later statement in the article Bogdonovich (why don’t I say “Peter” it woule be so much easier to spell)

“Dorothy (Bogdonovich’s former lover) was murdered by a guy who was not even legally in the United States and he bought a gun here. It’s out of control. Anytime there’s a massacre which is almost yearly now we say ‘ Well its not the guns. Guns don’t kill people..People kill people’…..”

Peter went on to criticize the NRA and its stand on the second amendment but it is clear to me that all the gun laws passed by the Government is not going to stop determined killers. Look at the mass murder in Norwary a year ago…I am pretty sure Norway has a lot of gun laws that don’t work either.

The most interesting and significant thing about this interview with Peter is his view that violence in movies beget more violence in society.
Maybe what needs to be banned and have laws passed against it is Hollywood’s cranking out more violence and more violence— outdoing previous efforts.
But why do they do it? Because violence, murder and mayehem is what makes money?????? And it is what Americans want? Which came first….the movie violence or the blood lust to see it?

“Bogdonovich says Hollywood violence could have inspired theater massacre”
(on Breitbart News July 25/2012)

I just read amost interesting article from THE AMERICAN THINKER.
Our current despair over the mass murders in Colorado within the past week are not just a modern cultural blight. Look at this list compiled by the author of the article, Mitch Smith.

July 26, 1764: near what is now Greencastle, PA, four Lenape Indians killed a schoolmaster and nine or ten children.

December 22, 1868 Chatanooga, TN. Three dead following a shooting by a disgruntled student.

April 13, 1878 Colfax, LA: Following a disputed election, white Democrats killed an estimated 60 to 100 mainly black citizens in a disputed Democratic/Republican gubernatorial race.

April 9, 1891 Newburgh, NY: An elderly man fired a shotgun at St Mary’s school injuring several students.

May 25, 1893: Osaka Japan: Kumataro Kido and Yagoro Tani Killed 11 including an infant. Kido had lost his common law wife to another man so they killed him , his former wife and other family members. The two committed suicide afterwards.

Sept 4 1913 Degerloch, Germany: Ernst August Warner killed his wife, four children and shot 20 more with nine dying. He was depressed because his life wasn’t going well.

Sept 9 1949: Camden, NJ: Howard Unruh randomly kills 13 people in retaliation for the theft of his newly built gate to his yard.

June 11, 1965 Cologne, Germany: Walter Seifert killed 11 school children and teachers and wounded 22 more using a home made flame-thrower at a school.

August 1, 1966: Austin Texas: The infamous “clock tower shootings”, Charles Whitman killed 18 and injured 31 shooting from the University of Texas clock tower.

These are just a few of the mass killings from 1764 to 1966. For the entire list google:
“MASS MURDER A MODERN CURSE? HARDLY.
by Mitch Smith in HUMAN EVENTS, July 25, 2012

I am writing a feature article about life in 1934. I am using archives from the local newspaper as a reference.
I am also reading a couple of books..one titled DUST BOWL DIARY.
Yesterday I wrote about the ADs in the paper in 1934 and I think we would all like to pay these prices for food and clothing:

From an old long gone business called “The Bankrupt Store” (because they started up by buying stock from stores that had gone bankrupt and the name stuck)

“NEW MENS’ FALL SUITS! 15.50 for conservative suits, 17.75 for sportier ones”
And then from Peterson’s store (also long gone)
Womens dresses for 1.95
“no need to fear when these take to water; for they come out like newly plucked flowers. Excellent crepe and other materials in workman-like styles”
( I think these were “house dresses” that women wore back then)

Carlson’s IGA grocery AD:

Salad dressing: 1 qt: 20 cents
corn flakes, 2 packages: 18 cents
canned corn: 10 cents
canned fruit in size 10 cans:
sour red cherries” 55 cents (most expensive item in the ad)
pears: 45 cents
blackberries: 55 cents

An AD from a country store 15 miles south:

pork and beans: 5 cents per can
“nectar” all flavors: 10 cents

NECTAR:a for those who did not grow up before 1950s— NECTAR was like liquid Kool Ade. It came in glass bottles and had flavors like cherry, orange, lime and lemon. You added the NECTAR to water and sugar and it was a delicious cold summer drink that I still can taste from when I drank it in afternoons at my Grandma’s farm! I wish
they still made it!!!!

ONe store in town had a Millinery Department on a balcony in the store.
They advertised new ladies’ hats for 1.95 and 2.95.
I remember that hat shop on the balcony..I got a few Easter hats there when I was a child.

My favorite AD from 1934 involved bad GAS and how it can hurt your heart.

“Don’t fall asleep on your left side!
If stomach GAS prevents you from sleeping on your right side, try
ADERIKA…one dose brings out poisons and relives gas pressiung on your heart.”
Life was much simpler and probably more trusting in “THOSE DAYS” long gone.
Most people were poorer than church mice and many had to go on “relief”— one
of the food programs that came out of the FDR administration after 1933.
There were more good archival articles about the beginning of those goverment programs including one that had the headline”
NEEDY MUST PLANT GARDENS THIS SUMMER”
The government required the NEEDY to grow a lot of food for summer and also for winter via canning a lot of it.Not quite the same as today when the modern NEEDY do not have to meet any requirements to to get their checks.

IN an article by Ronald Kessler in INSIDE WASHINGTON , for August 2012:

Joe Biden who likes to portray himself as the “poor man” in either Congress or the Whitehouse at present—who talks on and on about his being “the new sheriff in town ” when the Obama administration assigned him to figure out how to cut spending and waste in government….this same Joe Biden is making trips out of and back to Washington DC every weekend on Air Force 2..the plane that costs taxpayers $22,000.00 per hour of flying. Biden does not take Air Force 2 for the back and forth trip only…on most Saturdays he flies on it back to Andrews Air Force Base so he can catch a game of golf with the Prez!!!! Four back and forth trips on one weekend. Do the math.
Each of these Saturday golf games costs
taxpayers $20,000 dollars to say nothing of the cost of also flying in a Marine Helicopter from his residence to the air base to take Air Force 2 to Delaware.
In addition to that the Secret Service has to rent condos in Wilmington, Delaware for agents to protect him on weekends.
One of the Secret Service agents spoke about this to Kessler:
“Biden leaves every Friday from Joint Base Andrews so he get lifts from the observatory(his luxurious residence in DC) via Marine Two to Andrews Air Force Base, takes the trip to Delaware via Air Force 2; lands in Delaware and stays the weekend and then comes back on Sunday night. Every three or four weeks when it’s warm he gets up there on Saturday and then will fly Air Force back on Saturday. While Air Force 2 is sitting on the tarmac at Andrews, {Biden} goes and plays golf with the president at Andrews Air Force Base and then gets back on that plane and flies back to Delaware again. Let me tell you something..that is egregious.”

The Secret Service agent says that since Air Force 2 parks at Andrews , Obama is obviously aware that Biden is running up a huge government tab for each game of golf he plays with him.
In addition to these “perks” for Biden he has free use of his residence at the Naval Observatory..and his yearly salary of $230,700 dollars.

So between Obama and Biden these past 3 and one half years..they have spent more time flying on government planes for outings or campaigning or playing golf or in Obama’s case, taking his wife for a date night to New York on Air Force ONe which costs about $22.000 dollars per trip also than doing anything productive in their suposed jobs as president and vice president.
These two politicians know how to GAME THE SYSTEM for sure!!!
It would be interesting to total up the costs of all the Obama’s vacations including all the secret service agents required, all Michelle’s separate vacations, teen ager Malia’s vacation to Mexico last spring, all the golf games on Saturdays at Andrews including the double trips by Biden for golf games..and then add up all the campaigning costs done using goverment planes and all the rest that goes with it.
WE would be staggering from the total and we would wonder why our deficit and debt cannot be paid off if such money was applied to that item!!!
But then that is not really money because we do not have any in our treasury….our officials are spending money like drunken sailors..money that does not exist but what the heck? ” We are IN so let’s have a good time while we are at it.”
Let the good times roll for Biden and Obama! Let the rest of the Poor take their lumps and their joblessness.
And the heck with any governing!!!! We have things to do and places to go that have nothing to do with the good of this natiion!!!!!

Anohter gut wrenching news item from the London UK DAILY MAIL: “Eyes rolling, head swaying, and that bright red joker hair………….”
by Lydia Warren and Daniel Bates, July 23 2012.
Google it…it is very complete in descriptoin of the first appearance in court of James Holmes who went on that murderous rampage in Aurora CO.

People wonder about the death penalty for Holmes. It is possible in Colorado and the county attorney is consulting with the families of the many vicimk about the charges and the death penalty.
I think we can all guess easily what the famlies of the innocent victims will want.
If I were one of them, I would probably want to put him in a theater setting and have a gunman began shooting at him while he, helplessly, can do nothing to protect himself. I would have the gunman toss a few cans of sulpherous horrible gas his way also but he would be unable to run away from it.
He would suffer the way his victims suffred if the true principle of
An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth was carried out.
Oh yes the court appointed lawyers will do their best to get him off with the plea of Insanity….they will try to get him “into treatment” or some inane scheme like that. And then the taxpayers of Colorado or the US can pour money like sand down a rathole keeping this person from the death penalty.

So begins a stunning article by Jenny McCartney in the UK Telegraph online newspaper.
McCartney writes a brilliant op-ed piece about the murderous rampage in Aurora. Colorado just days ago in the now – infamous Theater 9 when a man in costume..dressed in black and resembling a member of a special police unit, got into the theater where the new Batman movie was premiering at midnight to a capacity crowd . The man threw gas cannisters into the audience and as they tried to run from the theater, he begin picking them off with gunshots as if they were fake pigeons in a carnival shooting gallery.
But they were human beings and the man kept shooting til he had killed or wounded over 70 people. Then he went to the alley where his car was parked and did not resist arrest when law enforcement personnel found him and carted him off to an Aurora or Denver jail. He had temporarily satisfied his blood lust.
His photo taken at the jail shows a sneering smile on the face of James Holmes. The cold blooded killer just smiled, the removal of a mask showed his red – painted hair, “Joker” style in Batman movies and comics for years.
Jenny McCartney looks at a society seduced by sadism and brutality and comes to conclusions that are chilling and disturbing.
McCartney says that if she were a ten- year old child, she would be badgering her parents to let her go see the “Dark Knight”. She then asks if she were the parent— and took the ten year old to the movie would she be sorry?
“You bet I would” says McCartney.
The level of violence and sadism is high….an opening scene of a bank heist by a man in a sinister clown mask ends with the murderous clown shooting a man point blank in the head. Then the clown (the Joker) stuffs a bomb into the mouth of a wounded bank employees’s mouth.
Things go downhill from there: “a man’s face is filleted by a knife and another’s burned half off. A man’s eye is slammed into a pencil. A bomb can be seen crudely stitched into a man’s stomach which subsequently explodes. A trussed-up man is bound to a chair and set alight atop a pile of bank notes. A plainly terrorised child is threatened at gunpoint by a man with a melted face. It is intensely realistic. Oh don’t worry folks: there isn’t any nudity.”

McCartney goes on:
“What’s the problem? I can already hear some people asking It’s all a comic book fantasy and comic books are known for their surreal bursts of violence.
But the {movie} director, Christopher Nolan, hasn’t sought to ramp up the cartoonish bursts of violence in his superhero story, as other directors before him. He has tried to make violence and fear as believeable as possible and in this he has succeeded.”

Further on McCartney makes this statement: (after a discussion of how low the British system of rating violence in movies has fallen}

“Increasingly screen violence is used not as a necessary adjunct to a greater point, but is a pleasureable point in itself.”

Our society/culture has grown increasingly fond of raw violence for the sake of the violence itself. With each downward step in realistically portraying violence, people need to have more of it and much worse violence to satisfy their sadistic thirsts.
Few parents put together the violence that young people see in movies (or not often enough) to crimes committed that are close to copy-cat portrayals of violent things they have seen in films or on video games or what- have- you.
In Britain, a father recounted taking two young sons to the recent James Bond film from 2006 (Casino Royale) in which Bond, stripped naked and tied to a chair is tortured by having his genitals beaten with a length of rope.
Later two boys were found re-enacting that act of violence on a large teddy bear using a dressing gown robe rope.
When I was young, one horrible event took place after my first grade year.
One of my classmates was playing “Roy Rogers” with 3 or 4 other young boys near the railroad tracks in our town. He waited for a train to come by..a real one..and tried to jump on it like Roy Rogers had done in a recent movie (this would have been in 1945.) The boy was pulled under the train and both his legs were severed and he bled to death before help could reach him. Roy Rogers movies seem like things at a gentle Sunday School outing compared to a movie like THE DARK KNIGHT.
What do such sadistic violent movies lead to? What violence was embedded in the soul of the man who shot those people in Aurora? Will he ever reveal any of it? He has clammed up and lawyered up and now others are digging deeply to find the answers which will probably never fully be understood by anyone, least of all the families of those who were murdered in cold blood or injured in the holocaust of bullets and gas cannisters.
As long as violence is realistically portrayed to the point of a deliberate
point of pleasure as in sadism or masochism, there are audiences who crave such violence and try to say it is harmless.
It definitely is NOT harmless.
What are we going to witness to our horror in the future? When will the next person perpetrate and enact the violence in his/her life that has fed the person for so long?
There is plenty of violence out there….abusive persons who beat on each other or on their children as a matter of routine. People who torture animals when they are young and go on to become murderers when they are adults.
We have seen it played out so many times that we are becoming virtually enured to the violence we watch on the 24/7 news outlets that have a glorious week after such atrocities have taken place. They cannot get enough interviews with witnesses; they cannot dig up enough “experts” to postulate or pontificate on the causes. The sick love of violence in this country and others is like a snake feeding on itself by swallowing itself, methodically, tail first.
Yes— we have been exposed to the violence of real wars throughout our history, but have we had to watch a movie showing headless corpses from the Civil War or Executions of a Daniel Pearl????
Don’t hold your breath….there will be something like that coming soon to your own Theater 9.

Of course! An Athiest has complained about the news release that Obama adminstrator Tom Vilsack said he “has been on his knees praying for rain” for the drought stricken states. The Athiest made noises about a government official engaging in such foolish behavior saying the government of Obama is “publicly practicing it (prayer) and wallowing in superstition”
Uh Huh…..I think Tom Flynn—– (the man that made that statement)—- who represents the Council for Humanism is wallowing in his own garbage/excrement that emanates from his mind and mouth.
yadda yadda yadda, ad nauseum.
Athiests have a form of religion all their own and they are the PUSHIEST of all religions! They want to destroy other’s constitutionaly guaranteed right to worship their God as they wish to serve…..only they(Athiests) can trash Christians for their beliefs. If it weren’t so pathetic it would be funny. Their constant drumbeat of trashing Christianity is pathetic.

Jon Lindgren ..when I asked on his blog ..why he and others who daily condemn Christianity..do not do the same to other Religions..came up with the lamebrain ewxcuse that Christians “promote and advertise” their beliefs. SO WHAT THE H—– DOES LINDGREN THINK HE IS DOING??????Talk about the Pot and the Kettle calling each other out. That blog constantly and arrogantly tries to destroy Christians. What a bunch of arrogant fools who go on and on every day on that blog.

IN OTHER HYPOCRISY……
There is an article from ROLL CALL today (July 20) about Nancy Pelosi pulling in her claws after she has made so much noise about Mitt Romney releasing more of his tax returns.
Madame Moneybags got kicked in the rear end when McClatchey news reported that SHE, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz…who had also been demanding more tax returns from Romney…neither of them WILL RELEASE THE KIND OF TAX INFORMATION they are demanding of Mitt Romney. McClatchey reported that only 17 of 535 Members ( House of Reps) have released their tax returns when asked to do so.
People like Pelosi and the other B—– with the three – name title—- cannot even seem to remember the garbage they spout and get caught time and again by others who do keep track of their blatherings.
Now the ROLL CALL article says this:

“Facing questions about why she and other top Congressional officials won’t release their tax returns. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi downplayed her previous demands for presumptive GOP presidential nominee
Mitt Romney to release his, calling it a distraction.”

Oh do tell? When she gets caught being such a bleeping hypocrite, it suddenly is a “distraction”
I cannot even count the times this Fool Pelosi has been caught with her balloon-bloomers around her ankles with the crap that comes our of her stretched out mouth. If somebody makes a film of clips of what this Dumbo has said it will be the biggest comedy hit of the year. It could be featured along with all of the Joe Biden bloopers and idiotic statements he has made just in the past 3 years.
