Doctor Huh?

June 18 2008 -Album: Miscellaneous

American Doctor Who Fans are finally being brought into the fold-. tonight we get to watch

The Next Doctor

On BBC America

So today there is no shortage of comments and blog posts and news blurbs about this big event.

I do have my favorites though.

My first is my own, because I know how to pick those David Tennant pictures.

My next favorite is from

The Examiner.

There’s this picture of the Doctor with a Sword in his hand ( quit snickering you pervs ) and the caption reads

Doctor Who’s David Tennant: A lion in winter

Well.

I’m guessing that’s in reference to the Movie ” The Lion In The Winter ” which starred Peter O’Toole.

 

In case you’re not familiar with it The Lion In The Winter which also co-starred

Anthony Hopkins

Katherine Hepburn

Timothy Dalton (yowza )

and Nigel Terry

 is movie about a highly dysfunctional family who lived in a castle and really, really hated each other.

Anyway.

It also came out three years before David Tennant was born.

I’m not sure why, but I find that funny.

What the hey.

Check out tonight’s D.W.

It’s a good one

SO I’VE HEARD FROM EVERYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET WHO SAW IT ALREADY

GEEZE!

Letter to the Everett Herald written by my husband in regards to Extremists like Shawna Forde

 

EXTREMISTS

 Commission’s outreach needed

  The editorial headline in Friday’s Herald had it right when it stated that threats mustn’t be dismissed because

“…we can’t count on white supremacists, and other extremists, to get themselves arrested before they do harm.”

Two years ago Shawna Forde publicly exposed her extremist beliefs when she organized an “anti-immigrant summit” at the Everett Elks Lodge. Her subsequent trouble with the law and personal difficulties are well documented by this newspaper, the blogosphere and her own Web site.

 

On Friday we learned that she had been arrested in Arizona and is charged with murder in connection with the shooting deaths of a 9-year-old Mexican American girl and her father in Pima County. Was this the inevitable outcome of a life filled with fear and hate? What could we have done differently in Snohomish County to, perhaps, help avert the unfortunate series of events in this woman’s life?

One way to reach out to all residents and communities in Snohomish County would be through an educational outreach program now being considered by the Snohomish County Council. The council is reviewing an ordinance submitted to it last year by the Snohomish County Citizens Committee for Human Rights (www.sccchr.org).

The SCCCHR is requesting that the council establish a Human Rights Commission based on the Washington State Human Rights Commission. The state commission was instrumental in the development of the ordinance with the help of over 50 volunteer citizens throughout the county. It has been endorsed by numerous organizations, elected officials and individuals.

This ordinance would be the first county-led effort of a county-wide program to identify and address human and civil rights issues in Snohomish County. Snohomish County is currently the largest county in Washington without a Human Rights Commission.

It’s time that we acknowledge and deal with perceived and real “threats” when they occur in our own county while we mourn the tragedy allegedly caused by one of our citizens in another.

What Was Shawna Forde Thinking?

From Petty Thief To Accused Child Killer-Meet Shawna Forde

I would like you to meet the racist and Anti-Immigration Extremist  Shawna Forde who crawled out from under her rock via the Internet and showed up in my life two years ago.

 fordeAccused Child Killer Shawna Ford, Confronting  Protesters Everett, WA

Shawna Ford,according to her self written legend, decided to save America from the Mexicans after she walked into a unidentified  shopping mall here in Washington state and everyone-excluding herself of course- was speaking Spanish.

Because of the shopping mall incident she went on to hold an Anti-Mexican summit in Everett, Washington where then GOP Presidential Candidate  Duncan Hunter from California  held a Q & A  with Shawna’s group by phone.

My husband organized a protest at this event of Shawna’s and shortly after that his picture with the following quotes appeared on her now defunct website:

( unable to import pictures, though I do have them on file )

Shawna Forde

and

At right, Moscoso, along with a tax-funded La Raza press corps, loses an on-street debate with Minuteman Jim Gilchrist

The open borders crowd, including Democrat Kingpin Luis Moscoso (far left of course), gangs up in La Raza fashion against Minuteman Jim Gilchrist in Everett June 30, 2007. Naturally this bunch has the use of expensive, taxpayer-financed media equipment, and still loses the street debate. Said Gilchrist, “The last refuge of a scoundrel is to call somebody else a racist” (note La Raza’s sign in background) .

 La Raza can’t even poop without Gringo tax money

From Her Blog: Forde Defending Our Borders in Arizona

 

Shawna was running for Everett City Council at this time and she had a base of sorts and support until she stole some chocolate milk from a grocery store. That action- not any of the others she had acted upon to that point cost her whatever Political standing and credibility she had in Everett.

 Later, upon returning to her home in Everett from Arizona where she was busy securing the borders, she claims to have been raped by Mexicans in her home. She  refused to cooperate with the Police  in that investigation. Shortly after that story broke  it was suspected she had concocted the story and used makeup to create bruises on her own body- pictures of which began to show up on the Internet.

This of course brings us all to what Shawna is accused of doing to a little girl in Arizona.

Nine Year old Brisenia Flores-Shawna Forde is accused of her murder

When Shawna put my husband on the homepage of her website she also ran a story about a Boy Scout  who lived within a mile from us. In her story she talks about this young man who was a credit to his community, she said, because he was going to defend our borders from the Mexican Invasion.

What I found disturbing then, and horrifies me now is  that Shawna’s Boy Scout  displayed a picture of himself  on his myspace page  and in it he is proudly holding a rifle.

What Shawna Forde was doing in Everett, Washington-what she believed in, her efforts to target people, including  high-school students on her website was out there for everyone to see and she didn’t even cause a ripple in the pond.

Maybe people ignored her because she wasn’t going to show up on their doorstep and demand they go back to Mexico, maybe she came across as such a nut that it was hard to take her seriously The end result was for their own reasons people chose  to not  question what exactly this train wreck of a human being was trying to accomplish.

Richard Chenevix Trench, Dean of Westminster, 1856-63, wrote: ‘Talk of the devil and he is bound to appear’, he was warning against being to curious about evil- that if you get to curious or to close to evil you will bring it into your life.

Maybe that’s why they ignored her in Everett.

The thing of it is when you accept evil into your life, when you tolerate it and foster it the result is the same.

You’ve not just spoken of the Devil you have gotten down on your knees and shouted his name out at the tops of your lungs

and begged him to appear

and

 tragically in Arizona, she did.

This Is Why I Need To Watch More TV

THIS IS WHY I NEED TO WATCH MORE TV

Because I don’t watch much tv ( all I rerally watch is Ace of Cakes and Unwrapped   )

I missed this interview that Craig Ferguson did with Clive Barker back in 2007.

Anyway.

Along with some pretty funny jokes, if you are interested  in how a horror writer’s mind works you’ll find a snapshot of it here.

Enjoy!

Oh and John? It’s My TARDIS- Mine

 

This Doctor Who scene was written for fun.

FOR FUN

by Russell T. Davies

and it rocks.

( no doubt it rocks- John Barrowman and David Tennant on the screen at the same time? )

Enjoy.

Deliver Me From The Train People

When I get to work in the mornings
if my bus is late
I run into the
Train People.
 
The Train People drift across the streets like ghosts
and they disappear into buildings
until
the end of the day.
 
If you want to know
what oblivion is
look into the faces of the
Train People.
 
The Walking Dead
that haunt
the
6:45
train.

It Just Never Gets Old

So I’m at this meeting and I have my laptop out and I leave it on and scoot down a seat and sit next to it when my friend sees it he says:

” Most people play with their phones when they get bored at these things.”

And I say

” Most people suffer from a terrible lack of imagination.”

” But Anita, you’ve been pulling this for years now- all that changes is the picture- how can you STILL find this funny?

” Don’t know, I just do.”

So he sits next to me and we watch my laptop and a few people walk by and check out the screen saver and when they do a few ask:

” Is this yours?”

” Yeah it’s mine.”

” Oh. I’m wondering…Who is he? “

 I look at my friend and he starts to laugh and says,

” Okay, it’s still funny”

and for the picture in question….

Back At You Tia

my brother

 my brother at his son’s memorial service

Yesterday on my way home from work I was thinking how much the world has changed in such a short period of time I think about my Nephew who is not alive to see it.

Sometimes the world is pretty awful and sometimes it’s pretty great and most of the time I like it and I’m sure he would have too.

Yesterday on my way home from work I saw this beautiful silver hearse pull up along side of my bus.

Okay, yes I noticed it,

That may sound weird but the fact is I drove black hearses ( which are boring and old school ) and that silver one?

It was a beauty.

So I’m watching this great looking car, which I could easily see myself behind the wheel of

when I see the Funeral Homes name stenciled, tastefully on the driver’s door.

It was a hearse from the funeral home that my Nephew went to after he died.

As a rule, that home doesn’t do a lot of work this far up North in our state.

So I suppose

on that day

at that time

when I was thinking about my Nephew

he was thinking of me too.
