I have a bag of Pedigree Puppy food (15 lbs ?) to donate to anyone that is

I'll second that. College students throw cats out when they go home for
the summer.  I call them "college cats".  One moved in with us so we had
it neutered and gave it all its shots.  Its a very friendly cat about 9
months old.  If you want it, or know of some one who wants a young cat
just give us a call, 454-8275.

This was in today's online Las Vegas Daily Optic. Please, if you are
so led to give one of these dogs or cats a home, they need help ASAP.
Just call the numbers mentioned in the article. Thank you.

Well there's little certain in this life, but one thing I'm sure of is that we
humans are a goofy bunch, there's just no way around it. I would not personally
trust any human in a position of authority, we're all capable of trashing our
own affairs and need little help.

I still apologize, for breaking my own rule and failing to politely ignore
politics and politicians, as I would attempt to do if a guest's dog pooped on
my rug. Pretty apt analogy, I'm afraid.

We can't get rid of politicians, they have a right to exist also... but if we
could just find a nice little island somewhere...

Plausibility is in the eye of the beholder - and sometimes in the eye of
the koolaid drinker.

I have heard/read Shendo's spin, and spin is what it is. He was
queer-baiting Lujan and that's all it ever was. Tortured arguments about
how it was in the interests of young LGBTs everywhere are disgustingly
dishonest - we know we live in a homophobic society, and attempting to
out one's opponent in the midst of a political race is not progressive,
but rather homophobic, opportunistic or both.

One suggestion ... if you know anyone who ran for office who is not on this
forum, extend them a personal invitation.

Unlike anonymous forums that scare the heck out of politicians, our real name
format seems to encourage more useful and effective discussion of local issues.
In most of our communities most elected officials monitor the forums and ~20%
will post when it makes political sense at least once a year.

How nice to see absent from this list the name of the 'man' doing the recent
electoral gay-baiting, what a thought to think that perhaps we as a culture are
beginning to tire of racism, sexism, gender-ism and all the other petty,
reality-obscuring -isms that our insecurities have always seemed to need in the
past.

Hurray for being who we are!

unofficial election numbers for San Miguel County (based on radio reporting from the courthouse) http://forums.e-democracy.org/r/post/52dJopHKoVl860Gc1fgMUz Pat Leahan /p/patleahan 2008-06-04T04:37:28Z
I am listening to KFUN radio (Joseph and Loretta Baca) announce the
unofficial election results for San Miguel County. As of 10:00 PM,
all precincts have reported and absentee ballots have been counted.

So I wrote down the numbers of some of the races as they were being
announced. Please remember these results are UNOFFICIAL, include only
some races, and are for San Miguel County ONLY (for example, Mora
County results will be announced tomorrow, and some of these races
need totals from the surrounding counties before the results are
official).

The Animal Support Center will be closing at the end of June 2008.
 We have many cats that need to be adopted. Some of the cats will make
great pets for loving families.
 We also have feral cats that would be able to live in a safe and
weather appropriate environment.
 All of the cats have been altered and vacinated and will cost $65 each
to adopt.
If you or anyone you know would like to adopt a cat please call Linzy
Behrs @ 425-3450 to make an appointment.

Spring Song http://forums.e-democracy.org/r/post/5N151Hw2L2gd01vt896M6r Robert Jones /p/robertjones2001 2008-05-28T18:35:44Z
*Spring Song *

*by Edna St Vincent Millay*

I know why the yellow forsythia
Holds its breath and will not bloom,
And the robin thrusts his beak in his wing.
Want me to tell you? Think you can bear it?
Cover your eyes with your hand and hear it.
You know how cold the days are still?
And everybody saying how late the Spring is?
Well -- cover your eyes with your hand -- the thing is,
There isn't going to be any Spring.

*No parking here! No parking here!
They said to Spring: No parking here!*

Spring came on as she always does,
Laid her hand on the yellow forsythia,--
Little boys turned in their sleep and smiled,
Dreaming of marbles, dreaming of agates;
Little girls leapt from their bed to see
Spring come by with her painted wagons,
Coloured wagons creaking with wonder--
Laid her hand on the robin's throat;
When up comes you-know-who, my dear,
You-know-who in a fine blue coat,
And says to Spring: No parking here!

*No parking here!  No parking here!
Move on! Move on! No parking here!*

Come walk with me in the city gardens.
(Better keep an eye out for you-know-who)
Did you ever see such a sickly showing?--
Middle of June, and nothing growing;
The gardeners peer and scratch their heads
And drop their sweat on the tulip-beds,
But not a blade thrusts through.

*Come, move on! Don't you know how to walk?
No parking here! And no back-talk!*

Oh, well, -- hell, it's all for the best.
She certainly made a lot of clutter,
Dropping petals under the trees,
Taking your mind off your bread and butter.
Anyhow, it's nothing to me.
I can remember, and so can you.
(Though we'd better watch out for you-know-who,
When we sit around remembering Spring).
We shall hardly notice in a year or two.
You can get accustomed to anything.

*I would not say that I "recanted" that paragraph, since I believe that
there is ample evidence that the information contained therein is accurate.
I agreed to remove the paragraph because the intent of the letter was to
call Benny Shendo to task for his political stunt and not to embarrass the
Las Vegas Peace & Justice Center. I would still like to hear your response,
Pat, and your delineation of the "significant inaccuracies" and incorrect
facts you claim.*
