In answer to Terry from Southern Virginia... poke salad greens are actual
greens that are 'harvested' in many places and eaten just as other greens
are. In a nearby town, here in Louisiana, there is even a 'poke salad
festival'. lol no joke... And Barry White had a rhythm & blues song that was
a big hit back in the 60's named Poke Salad Annie. Terry thought poke salad
was wild and not fit to eat and called poke salad because it was carried in
a poke (carried in a bunch). I don't know where they got their name
though, so that part may be true.
And I heard my grandmother say about a pricey sewing machine..." That thang
costs so much, it better make cornbread too!" And if something found is
really a rare thing, it was said, "That's rarer than hen's teeth" And if
someone is smarting off a bit too loudly, a southerner might tell him to not
"let his alligator mouth overload his hummingbird engine" And a 'risin'
pronounced rising... is a boil not a pimple. lol We grew up using the
term, "Ringed-tail tooter" also. LOL Usually meant a brat or a mischievous
kid. (or loud) An expression meaning, "Well, I'll be darned"...I'll swan! or
sometimes "I'll swanee" said very drawn out. "Wach ya mouth, or Ah'll
wach it fer ya" When someone feels wealthy, it was said, "They's a sheeting
in tall cotton" If poor, one says, "Ah'm so broke, Ah caint pay tenshun"

we went to bed, we always said goodnight to one another by my father saying
"Road graters". Someone else would say "Catapillars" and then we would say
"Sweet dreams"
One of my funniest stories is that my mother used to always say she was
"lanky" when she was hungry. Of course, I always used it the same way.
My father had so many sayings. He would call my mother "fanny farkel"
which, of course, made her so mad. He would call the boyfriends a
"Jim-napper" and he would also call the boys "syphogrum" (I have no idea how
to spell that because I'm sure he just made it up."
He had a name for his shirts and would say, "Fannyfarkel, where is my
shimmee?"
The kids and grandkids were called "Ring-tail-tooters".
Laqueta would like to know if anyone else used these words?

Text of Fatwah Urging Jihad Against Americans
Published in Al-Quds al-'Arabi on Febuary 23, 1998
Statement signed by Sheikh Usamah Bin-Muhammad Bin-Ladin; Ayman
al-Zawahiri, leader of the Jihad Group in Egypt; Abu- Yasir Rifa'i Ahmad
Taha, a leader of the Islamic Group; Sheikh Mir Hamzah, secretary of the
Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Pakistan; and Fazlul Rahman, leader of the Jihad
Movement in Bangladesh
Praise be to God, who revealed the Book, controls the clouds, defeats
factionalism, and says in His Book "But when the forbidden months are
past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, seize them,
beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)";
and peace be upon our Prophet, Muhammad Bin-'Abdallah, who said "I have
been sent with the sword between my hands to ensure that no one but God
is worshipped, God who put my livelihood under the shadow of my spear
and who inflicts humiliation and scorn on those who disobey my orders."
The Arabian Peninsula has never--since God made it flat, created its
desert, and encircled it with seas--been stormed by any forces like the
crusader armies now spreading in it like locusts, consuming its riches
and destroying its plantations. All this is happening at a time when
nations are attacking Muslims like people fighting over a plate of food.
In the light of the grave situation and the lack of support, we and you
are obliged to discuss current events, and we should all agree on how to
settle the matter.
No one argues today about three facts that are known to everyone; we
will list them, in order to remind everyone:
First, for over seven years the United States has been occupying the
lands of Islam in the holiest of places, the Arabian Peninsula,
plundering its riches, dictating to its rulers, humiliating its people,
terrorizing its neighbors, and turning its bases in the Peninsula into a
spearhead through which to fight the neighboring Muslim peoples.
If some people have formerly debated the fact of the occupation, all the
people of the Peninsula have now acknowledged it.
The best proof of this is the Americans' continuing aggression against
the Iraqi people using the Peninsula as a staging post, even though all
its rulers are against their territories being used to that end, still
they are helpless. Second, despite the great devastation inflicted on
the Iraqi people by the crusader-Zionist alliance, and despite the huge
number of those killed, in excess of 1 million... despite all this, the
Americans are once against trying to repeat the horrific massacres, as
though they are not content with the protracted blockade imposed after
the ferocious war or the fragmentation and devastation.
So now they come to annihilate what is left of this people and to
humiliate their Muslim neighbors.
Third, if the Americans' aims behind these wars are religious and
economic, the aim is also to serve the Jews' petty state and divert
attention from its occupation of Jerusalem and murder of Muslims there.
The best proof of this is their eagerness to destroy Iraq, the strongest
neighboring Arab state, and their endeavor to fragment all the states of
the region such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan into paper
statelets and through their disunion and weakness to guarantee Israel's
survival and the continuation of the brutal crusade occupation of the
Peninsula.
All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear
declaration of war on God, his messenger, and Muslims. And ulema have
throughout Islamic history unanimously agreed that the jihad is an
individual duty if the enemy destroys the Muslim countries. This was
revealed by Imam Bin-Qadamah in "Al- Mughni," Imam al-Kisa'i in "Al-
Bada'i," al-Qurtubi in his interpretation, and the shaykh of al-Islam in
his books, where he said "As for the militant struggle, it is aimed at
defending sanctity and religion, and it is a duty as agreed. Nothing is
more sacred than belief except repulsing an enemy who is attacking
religion and life."
On that basis, and in compliance with God's order, we issue the
following fatwa to all Muslims
The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies--civilians and
military--is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any
country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the
al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque from their grip, and in order for
their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable
to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty
God, "and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together,"
and "fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there
prevail justice and faith in God."
This is in addition to the words of Almighty God "And why should ye not
fight in the cause of God and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated
and oppressed--women and children, whose cry is 'Our Lord, rescue us
from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee
one who will help!'"
We -- with God's help -- call on every Muslim who believes in God and
wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill the Americans
and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call
on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on
Satan's U.S. troops and the devil's supporters allying with them, and to
displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.
Almighty God said "O ye who believe, give your response to God and His
Apostle, when He calleth you to that which will give you life. And know
that God cometh between a man and his heart, and that it is He to whom
ye shall all be gathered."
Almighty God also says "O ye who believe, what is the matter with you,
that when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of God, ye cling so
heavily to the earth! Do ye prefer the life of this world to the
hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the
hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous
penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the
least. For God hath power over all things."
Almighty God also says "So lose no heart, nor fall into despair. For ye
must gain mastery if ye are true in faith."

Why does the Communist Party believe it is so important that Democrats win?
"Whereas a few weeks ago only a handful of House and Senate seats were
considered 'competitive,' now more than 50 House seats are in play and
more than a dozen Senate seats," the statement continues. "A change of
15 seats in the House and 6 seats in the Senate would change control of
Congress. Members of the congressional Progressive, Black, Hispanic and
Asian-Pacific caucuses would chair half of the House committees and
sub-committees."
The party urges members to get involved in the election at every level –
including the following ways:
* "Volunteer to phone bank with your union, neighborhood
association or political organization."
* "Go door to door in your neighborhood or in citywide
mobilizations on behalf of candidates you support."
* "Know and discuss with voters the basic issues. Explain why
changing Congress is so crucial to reversing the extremist, right-wing
thrust of the Republicans."
* "Volunteer to be a poll watcher or election judge on Election Day."
* "'Protect the vote.' Volunteer with groups working to prevent the
right wing's 'voter suppression' and 'vote theft' tactics. Know the
election laws and be an advocate for people whose right to vote is under
attack."
* "Register your family, neighbors and co-workers to vote and bring
them to the polls on Nov. 7."
* "Help give reminders and rides to get out the vote on Election Day."
The major emphasis of the Communist Party campaign for Democrats is the
war in Iraq – and support for the plan by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., for
early withdrawal.
"The pressure for troop withdrawal is growing, so much so that earlier
this summer Democrats introduced two resolutions in the Senate,"
explained a story in the party's People's Weekly World newspaper. "One,
authored by Senator Kerry, envisions a short exit strategy and a role
for the international community. The other, which has the support of
nearly 40 Democratic senators and may be re-introduced this fall, calls
for troop withdrawal beginning this winter, but the flaw is that it
leaves the process open-ended, which is precisely what Bush does."
The party believes the Democrats will withdraw early from Iraq if they
take power in tomorrow's election.
"The media spin has been that the Democrats are split on the war. The
real story is that 85 percent of the Democrats in Congress voted for
withdrawal and are in step with the majority public opinion," explained
another article on the party's website. "Eight months ago, two
Democratic senators were for withdrawal; two months ago it was four.
This past week 39 Democrats in the Senate voted for withdrawal and the
need for non-military support for the reconstruction of Iraq."
Just so there could be no mistake about the party's intentions to
support a Democratic Party victory, Judith LeBlanc, national
vice-chairwoman of the CPUSA, added: "The Democratic Party and its
candidates are only as strong politically and economically as the mass
movements behind them. The greater participation of the Party and Left,
the more effective the movements are, the more likely we can deliver a
blow to the Right in November."
The Democratic Party has refused to respond to WND's story last week
that quoted a variety of Middle East terrorist leaders urging American
to vote Democratic.
The terrorists told WorldNetDaily an electoral win for the Democrats
would prove to them Americans are "tired." They rejected statements from
some prominent Democrats in the U.S. that a withdrawal from Iraq would
end the insurgency, explaining an evacuation would prove resistance
works and would compel jihadists to continue fighting until America is
destroyed.

Reprinted from the People's Weekly World Newspaper, 08/17/06
The pressure for troop withdrawal is growing, so much so that earlier
this summer Democrats introduced two resolutions in the Senate. One,
authored by Senator Kerry, envisions a short exit strategy and a role
for the international community. The other, which has the support of
nearly 40 Democratic senators and may be re-introduced this fall, calls
for troop withdrawal beginning this winter, but the flaw is that it
leaves the process open-ended, which is precisely what Bush does.
Nevertheless, the fact that a majority of Senate Democrats are
supporting this resolution constitutes an important shift in their
approach to the Iraq occupation. Much work by the peace majority still
needs to be done, but the playing field is far more favorable for
organizing a congressional majority in favor of ending the occupation
than it was even a few months ago.
We should welcome these changes, even though they don’t go far enough.
Communists and other left-minded people should not only give space to
people to change their positions on the occupation; we should also
applaud such changes when they go in a progressive direction, even if
they are not identical to our positions.
Of course, we don’t support an open-ended occupation, no matter which
party proposes it. And, needless to say, we don’t support a long-term
U.S. military presence in Iraq, which is obviously the Bush
administration’s plan.
A long-term U.S. presence is not a force for a democratic, stable and
peaceful Iraq.

JERUSALEM – Everybody has an opinion about next Tuesday's midterm
congressional election in the U.S. – including senior terrorist leaders
interviewed by WND who say they hope Americans sweep the Democrats into
power because of the party's position on withdrawing from Iraq, a move,
as they see it, that ensures victory for the worldwide Islamic resistance.
The terrorists told WorldNetDaily an electoral win for the Democrats
would prove to them Americans are "tired."
They rejected statements from some prominent Democrats in the U.S. that
a withdrawal from Iraq would end the insurgency, explaining an
evacuation would prove resistance works and would compel jihadists to
continue fighting until America is destroyed.
They said a withdrawal would also embolden their own terror groups to
enhance "resistance" against Israel.
"Of course Americans should vote Democrat," Jihad Jaara, a senior member
of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group and the infamous leader of
the 2002 siege of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, told WND.
"This is why American Muslims will support the Democrats, because there
is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw
from Iraq. It is time that the American people support those who want to
take them out of this Iraqi mud," said Jaara, speaking to WND from exile
in Ireland, where he was sent as part of an internationally brokered
deal that ended the church siege.
Jaara was the chief in Bethlehem of the Brigades, the declared "military
wing" of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party.
Together with the Islamic Jihad terror group, the Brigades has taken
responsibility for every suicide bombing inside Israel the past two
years, including an attack in Tel Aviv in April that killed American
teenager Daniel Wultz and nine Israelis.
Muhammad Saadi, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West
Bank town of Jenin, said the Democrats' talk of withdrawal from Iraq
makes him feel "proud."
"As Arabs and Muslims we feel proud of this talk," he told WND. "Very
proud from the great successes of the Iraqi resistance. This success
that brought the big superpower of the world to discuss a possible
withdrawal."

There is an atmosphere in America that wants Bush to stop fucking up in

Bush had his chance; he failed as miserably as he failed as head of Midland

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld must inevitably fail because they are not men of
