Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Everybody saw this coming.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Rescue Bleg (Charlie’s Angels)

This post is in: ,

Evelyn of Charlie’s Angels forwards a plea:

TIFFANY: Oh my, where should I begin. I guess the part where my other family took me to the cemetary and left me to starve. I’m a good girl, honest. But I have this deformity of my left front leg, requiring Angular Limb Deformity Correction Surgery so that I can lead a normal life and not be in pain. I’m sweet as sugar and a brave little soul. But there were lots of strange critters wandering around that cemetary and I was so scared. But then these nice folks (Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue) found me wandering and took me to the doctor and he said I’m healthy; they gave me shots and even spayed me. Now I’m all better from that but I need this operation to fix my leg so I can run and play and get to do all the things I’ve missed out on.
__
I’m not even a year old yet–and I only weigh 5.2 lbs. I really want my leg fixed–I want to be able to chase leaves and bugs and even cuddle with my foster mom and not have to wiggle to get my leg in just the right position so it doesn’t hurt.
__
Will you help? You see, the corrective surgery I need will be approximately $2,500 with a “rescue” discount. I put weight on my leg, but not for any length of time and its not a normal gait when I walk. I just have to stop and it feels bad so I hold my paw up to make it quit hurting.
__
A note from Linda: Tiffany deserves the chance to be a carefree pup–something that obviously she hasn’t experienced yet. SCRATCH wants to afford her that opportunity but we need your help. Your donation will get us closer to having the funds to schedule Tiffany’s surgery so that she, too, can run and play and find a loving home where she can learn to trust and be loved.
__
See her picture below showing her new haircut in anticipation of the surgery and notice her left front leg that the orthopedic surgeons predict can be repaired with success!
__
If you can consider a $1 or $10 (or more!) tax deductible donation we will appreciate it, and assure you that every penny will be used for little Tiffany’s care. We will send you updates on her surgery and progress! You can mail your donation to SCRATCH, 1564 Farmington Hills Drive, Conover, NC 28613, or click on the paypal button from our website at: www.scratchrescue.petfinder.com

Thank you for taking the time to consider helping us help Tiffany.

    I’m in for $25- by mail. Something about that white puppy face looking up from a white doggy bed. Plus, I can’t get to NC to see the folks this Xmas, so I might as well send a little cheer your way. You must always match the photo background to the color of the puppy!

    You caught me at a bad time, I’m here and I just found out that my local cable put the NFL Rezone on so I can watch my Bears battle the baby jesus. Since this wonderful thing has befallen me, I’m in. Good luck Tiffer!

    I’m in for $25.00 via Paypal. Things are a little better financially round here, I just had a good week on Ebay and I can never resist the face of a puppeh in need.

    PS) OT and I apologize but the threads re politics are too far down. When we were watching UP this morning (brilliant show by the way, I love Chris Hayes and the line up of guests that he gets) he was laying out Newt’s plan of laying off school janitors and hiring the poor kids to clean the schools after school hours. My DH (a teacher) said “yeah and who is going to pay the school bus drivers overtime to take them home afterwards”. That was one aspect that I had never even thought about! The overtime for the bus drivers (cause you know the poor kids will have no other way of getting to and from school) will probably wipe out any savings there were in firing all of the deputy janitors. Brilliant plan Newton!

    @Litlebritdifrnt:I hadn’t thought about it either. Your husband makes a very valid point.
    Newt’s plan for mining on the moon is even more ridiculous. Why do the beltway insiders, think that this guy with all these hare-brained ideas is intelligent?

    I’m in.

    Jeez, the cemetery? At least the people who gave up on my Gaby left her at a vet’s office.

    Thank ghu for animals because sometimes I hate people.

    In for $25. I stopped by my computer for some more Newt mocking and saw this instead. I hope she gets taken care of and adopted and loved and spoiled and pampered etc.

    I’m in, by mail. Not sure how much yet — I have to total up my budget/expenses for this month.

    Why do people just leave animals someplace? Don’t they know they could leave them at shelters or vets offices? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could mark or brand such inhumane creatures in some way so that they’d never be able get another pet ever again?

    I’m very short on cash because of Christmas, but a few years ago, I rescued a (mostly)westie with congenital allergies and was able to raise money from N. Eng and National Westie rescue groups. This dog looks mostly poodle, have you approached their rescue groups for help? Like I said, no cash, but can’t pass that face by without trying to help.

    @Raven: A tiny, crippled animal abandoned outdoors. They may as well have hung a sign around her neck that read, Hey, coyotes! Lunchtime!

    That pup is lucky someone found her.

    Kristine

    @Raven: @purplegirl: Yeah, whoever abandoned Gaby left a note saying that she had all her shots. But without her name or a list of the shots, we couldn’t know for sure. They didn’t want to leave any info that could be traced.

    The school districts* I drove for all had late afternoon activity routes for the kids in sports and stuff, I’m guessing that Newt thinks they can have their classrooms all cleaned in the same time frame…

    *I drove for First Student, the go-to company for districts outsourcing their transportation. First rule of First Student, there will never be any OT for the drivers. I took as many routes as I could and rarely got over 32 hrs a week. That’s the reason I left, I couldn’t afford it…

    @BD of MN: Except that many of those “poor kids” TM will also be playing football and basketball in an effort to be good enough to get a College Scholarship (only way out of their lot in life) and then on to the NFL or NBA. I suppose Newton thinks that they would be available to clean the school AFTER practice and then still do their homework to keep up their grades to qualify them for college. The man is a fuck stick. I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.

    I asked evferybody to give me cash for Christmas so i could have some disposable incometo doate to rescue charities. So I hope thta shortly after Christmas I will be able to ejoy givig.

    I have a littel white foo foo arm candy dog now, to my surprise. I brought him home for what i thought would be hospice. He is ten years old and spennt those years neglected. He was near death when I got him, starved anemic from blood loss to fleas and had eight abcessed teeth. To everyone’s amazement all it took was the removal of his teeth and a few days of good food and he came roarig back to life. We thought he was a poodle (it was hard to tell because he had so little fur) but it turns out he is a Maltese. I never would have picked maltese for a pet which was muy ignorance–he’s a terrific little character full of life andn spunk, affectioalte but independent and not yappy. I have no idea why people get animals if they don’t want to love them and nuture them. But lots of people shuldn’t have kids either.

    Just kicked in $10. It’s nice to see a dog in a dog bed–I bought one for my Border Collie, and she just chewed it to shreds instead of sleeping in it.

    Damn. Hate stories like that. I am in for $50. (Paypal does not seem to note that it is for Tiffany. Wish it did.)

  31. 31.

    I'mNotSureWhoIWantToBeYet

    In for $50. I mentioned it was for Tiffany via the (roughly) “Special Instructions for Recipient” linky at PayPal. HTH.

    Thanks Anne.

    Fingers crossed.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    I’m in for $25 @ paypal. Hey! Maybe someone from Scratch should contact Calista Gingrich. I hear she likes to drop a lot of cash on Tiffanys.

    That second picture is enough to break your heart. I’m in for $25, check is in the mail tomorrrow.

    Michele C

    Another $50. I tried to click on Tiffany’s story first, but I’m not sure it registered it was for Tiffany. I want to save them all; if only I was a gazillionaire.

    slag

    @Michele C: Same problem here. It seems like your donation just goes into a pool. Which is ok, I suppose, but the process is a bit misleading. Either way, at least it’s a good cause.

  44. 44.

    Kristine

    @slag: The direct link for Tiffany donations was under the general PayPal link on the right side of the page. I’m sure there’s contact info so you could send a note asking that your donation go for Tiffany’s surgery.

    satby

    I’m in for $25 too. Please keep us updated so I can harass my friends to make the total needed! We need one of those thermometer thingies.

    Paypal lets you include “special instructions to seller” which you can use to specify the purpose of your donation.

    I received an email from the group saying:

    “Thank you for your kindness–we’ll keep you updated on Tiffany’s progress.”

    So my PayPal donation is being directed towards Tiffany somehow. I am happy. But as somebody else said, I wish I could help them all.

    Miss Barbie

    I’m in for $25. I gave up XMAS giftgiving (except for a couple gift exchanges) precisely because I wanted to be able to be more generous to those in need.

    I’m in too-that adorable little girl needs to have a shot at a happy life.

    Bless Tiffany-merry christmas little pup.
