If you want goodly ghostly fun, try visiting our renter this week... Andrea at Ghost Stories... goodly stuff... and of course, our own Paranormal Blog!

Rush Limbaugh and Michael J Fox

I couldn't keep silent... Is Rush Limbaugh a "plant"?

In essence, has Rush Limbaugh, by his ridiculous statement about actor Michael J. Fox's battle with Parkinson's Disease done more to shine a light on the issue and, by negative reinforcement, promote stem cell research?

I get the feeling that, in the United States, anger and resentment over the blow-hard's comments have probably swung some people to want to support the scientific advancements that are possible with stem cells rather than his comments "firing up the troops" against it.

Granted, I'd remind all good Republicans down South that their living icon, Nancy Reagan, is also pro-stem cell research... as am I.

But, when the dust settles... call it a hunch... Fox and millions of people that suffer from many horrid degenerative ailments will be able to give a hearty thanks to Rush... who with one callous, ludicrous, stupid statement, did more to swing the "undecided" and possibly even swing the "decided/against" towards the cause of good science and health.

So, in advance, THANKS RUSH!

Betchyer back on Nancy's Christmas Card list soon!

The standard last note on the old blog... PLEASE SUPPORT THE DREAM!

This blog is here to help promote a dream that an entire family shares... that dream is to rescue an old London Double-Decker bus.

Please, if you have a few minutes, take some time to find out more about this bus and the kooky dream by clicking here.

This bus is VERY special to myself and the whole family, and any help any person can lend us would be most gratefully accepted.

If you or someone you know might be interested, there's our pixel ad site, HelpCoverTheBus.Com and a PayPal donation button (see the upper-right hand side of the blog) and, of course, a Cafe Press shop for T-Shirts and shtuff!
(...and who doesn't need some shtuff!)

Please help us make this dream a reality and save a piece of history!

We thank you for your support!

Please Note: We are also hoping for help from a public relations/marketing standpoint... If you might be able to assist OR know someone who might be willing to, please click here and read this entry...

Hey MsDemmie... Happy Samhain!

As for Mr. Limbaugh, although I live in Canada and am not a "Republican" or a "Democrat", I have friends who are... and all my Republican friends LOATH Rush Limbaugh... they also loath Anne Coulter and Tucker Carlson...

Ergo: Limbaugh/Carlson/Coulter and even Bill O'Reilly really don't speak for all conservatives in America... which is a HUGE saving grace for many of them.

None-the-less, these twits (Limbaugh, Carlson,Coulter, and O'Reilly) should really all shut the heck up. They're hurting their own causes!!!

Happy Belated Halloween. I hope y'all had fun.

I agree with you on the whole Limbaugh situation. My grandfather had Parkinson's Disease. The way I see it, if you aren't a doctor, don't have or know someone who has it then you don't have the right to act as if you are an expert on the subject. I've never cared for Rush Limbaugh and never will.

Hey Andrea... Happy Samhain and yes, Limbaugh (and the rest) really need to have another type of doctor assist them... a proctologist to help them extract their heads.

Allow me to start with we do not own nor are we selling a bus. Just had to get that out...

This blog was started in April of 2006... during a very bad time for me and my family when money was very tight and life was very hard.

We maintained a happier outlook on life by fantasizing... talking about what we would do when times were better... and as Sue and myself are Anglophiles, England factored greatly into our "plans".

During these bad times, while looking at news items which, at the time included items about London removing their venerable old Routemasters, I came across one photo of an old green bus... and somehow, my whole family adopted it. It became very much "our bus". (Details about "our bus" are available by clicking here.)

Like most of you, I'd heard about the fellow who'd made a million dollars selling tiny ads online... and the fellow who did trades and turned a paper clip into a house... so I thought, since we couldn't make our bus actually into "our bus" (well beyond our means,) I'd try an "online" appeal... to make the focused item of our hopes into a tangible thing in our lives...

More specifically, in a burst of adult/juvenile optimism, I had hoped to show the youngest member of the family, who at the time was still very youthful and impressionable, that dreams really could become reality if you hope and, more importantly, try.

Well, I'm pretty sure you figured it out... we had limited succes in this venture... and the youngest has now reached an age where she is more traditionally "teenaged" cynical than much else about the world, which isn't a dreadful thing... but there's a "good news" portion to this... our personal situation with money is better, life has improved, and some people really liked my rambling here... so, I decided to keep things going... Yes, I will "give up" on asking for help on a bus... and have to give up on even trying as hard to get the bus through online means... and yes, be far more realistic... but I don't mind this "turn" of things as I actually enjoy venting, trying my hand at humour, and generally keeping on online presence outside my usual things.

Thanks to those who were/are "Busly Dream" enthusiasts... I suppose that our buses for now will be single-deck with the letters "TTC" emblazoned on them... but this blog will live as does our dream! (It's just a little quieter on that latter bit...)
