Rain, rain go away! Since Friday it's done nothing but rain around these parts, which has caused mass flooding. :( It finally stopped raining this afternoon, but the damage is done. The rivers are overflowing, the streets are flooded, traffic lights are out, and Northern League baseball had to postpone their championship series at US Steel Yard because of flooding.
You can see the photos of the damage at www.nwi.com to see how scuba gear would come in handy right about now!
Fortunately, we didn't have to evacuate and our house and more importantly our family (both two and four-legged) is doing fine. Hopefully everyone else around us is also doing okay.
I'm on a crusade, people.
Politics aren't my thing. I leave that up to my friend Poly Sci (waves at Ms Sci! You know who you are!), but recently I've been getting into it.
A few weeks ago an email circulated through rescue group emails about how Barack Obama is a terrorist plant (yeah...right...) and how he's going to send us to hell in a handbasket.
Well ya know what? We're already there, folks! I think Republicans are the root of all evil. Seriously. I mean, this is the party with the guy who likened homosexuality to beastiality (WTF??!?!?) Where are we again? The set of Jerry Springer?
You know what, I'm going to liken Sarah Palin to Dick Cheney because that's about as smarmy and yellow bellied as they come. This is a guy who thinks throwing ducks with clipped wings off a billboard or high wall and shooting the hell out of them as a sport. That's not a sport! That takes zero skill. It's called a canned hunt, Dickless, and it's illegal. Oh, but what does he care? He can do whatever the hell he wants, right? Seems that way!
Well now Ms Palin up her in her ice castle in the big, vast, empty land of Alaska (which should be mad as hell about this) is the female version of Cheney. I remember when I heard she was an environmentalist...she's not an environmentalist. She's a scary, scary woman. Take a look at what she supports.
Ya know, I've heard a lot of Hilary supporters were going to vote for McCain and Palin just because it's a woman they want in the White House. This is not the woman you want in the White House. She's related to Satan, I'm sure of it.
Do not let these people run our country. Please, people, keep this woman out of the white house! If she's in, I'm sure to celebrate they'll probably shoot the bald eagle or something.
I have a new book out as of today and the theme in it is rescue, which I haven't done before. I'm incredibly excited to have a book out which deals with horse rescue, which is something people don't think about very often.
To see the inspiration behind Rebel's life's work, please check out the YouTube video that had me bawling at two in the morning. It's gruesome at first, but the end will have you weeping in joy to see Naysa's full recovery. The folks at Habitate for Horses are an amazing group of people and this video is proof of that!
Also, I'm giving 50% of royalties from SPIRIT SANCTUARY to rescue. Haven't decided which one just yet, but someone will benefit, so buy your copy today! http://amberquill.com/AmberAllure/SpiritSanctuary.html
