Venomous Snakes

OK North Carolina just passed a law to ban venomous snakes in court houses. Uh -- has that been a problem in the past?? Or have they finally come to their senses and banned liberal left wingers from the halls of justice? ;>)

Local Hyperbole

I've got much to say since I've been on hiatus, but I thought I'd start with this , a very interesting "column" from a local attorney here in Moore County, NC.

Those that know me realize that I had to respond. After all, this is what I do as a right winged, wingnut! LOL Here is my letter to the editor for the Pilot Newspaper in Southern Pines, NC.


Dear Editors:

My name is Pamela Furr and I guess I am one of those "right wing" radio talk show hosts that Mr. Rhodes fulminated about in his highly entertaining column last Sunday. OK, let's face it -- the column was wrongheaded and full of hyperbole. Call me a nut, though (and Mr. Rhodes already has, I guess, by inference) - but a full life and a profession spent interviewing politicians (yes, including Mr. Obama) have caused me to consider extreme wrongheadedness to be highly entertaining!

Imagine my surprise and delight while visiting my parents on Easter Sunday as I opened up my hometown paper to stumble upon some of the vilest tripe masked as satire I have read in quite some time (I have to think that somewhere in Dublin, seismologists are scratching their heads over the rhythmic spinning underneath Jonathon Swift's grave). Normally one does not encounter such vitriolic wit outside of rest stop bathroom walls. Bravo, Mr. Rhodes!!! Bravo!

I am not interested in matching Mr. Rhodes' feeble attempt at satire by going point-by-point (though this might be an excellent exercise for a conservative Poli Sci class, if such a body existed), but one thing especially tickled my funny bone:

Mr. Rhodes -- None of us "right wing nuts" has EVER said Obama was a bad speaker. That is, not as long as the teleprompter doesn't go on strike. I mean, have you ever heard such a chorus of uh's, um's and ah's in your life as when that screen goes blank? Ronald Reagan could talk all day about substantive things without a cathode ray tube anywhere nearby. So could Bill Clinton. Well, Clinton could talk all day - how substantive his talks were, varied from day to day (or… cigar to cigar?).

And neither of these men had to fill time with a Special Olympics joke [to digress a bit - a SPECIAL OLYMICS JOKE???? Imagine a Republican making such a joke - he would have to commit honorable hari kari before the press let go of THAT story].

Sincerely,

Pamela Furr, right winged wingnut talk show host

THIS IS ME Redux

I feel the need to play this song over and over again.. call it the theme song of my life. Maybe it's because I'm turning 40 in a few short weeks; maybe it's because I've had a disagreement with a friend; maybe it's because I'm a silly girl; maybe it's all of the above...

I blogged about this over two years ago. I like who I am. I get mixed up and I get insecure. I make mistakes and say things I shouldn't say. I can be intense and grandiose. I can be carefree and drama free. But I don't walk away and I don't cut people off. I don't judge and I forgive myself and my friends very easily.

I don't apologize for being who I am. I admit that I am working at being a better person every single day. This is who I am. This is who you get when I invite you into my life and invest time into getting to know you. This is who you get when you invite me into your life and invest time into getting to know me.

I am a strong woman and a woman who knows exactly what she wants and what she needs. I do not invest in other people lightly.

If it's too much for you, there's nothing I can do about it.

THIS IS ME.. (if you're still reading, then these lyrics say it better than I can)

I HAVE MY ADDICTIONS
I KEEP MY SHARE OF SECRETS
AND THINGS YOU'LL NEVER SEE
I GET SELFISH AND DEFENSIVE
AND PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO MY INSECURITIES
I'M JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
I TRY TO LOVE JESUS AND MYSELF

YES, MY HEART BREAKS FOR THE HOMELESS
I WORRY ABOUT MY PARENTS
AND ALL MY BILLS ARE LATE
YES, I'M DEALING WITH THE CHANGES
THIS COMPLICATED STRANGENESS
OF SEEING LIFE THIS WAY
I'M JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
I TRY TO LOVE JESUS AND MYSELF

I LAUGH AT SILLY MOVIES
TEAR UP WHEN I SEE BABIES
AND I'M STUBBORN AS A STONE
I CRITICIZE MY BODY
I WONDER IF I'M READY
TO EVER BE ALONE
I'M JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
I CRY JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE
OR WHAT YOU THINK OF WHAT YOU SEE
BUT THIS IS A PART OF ME
OF WHAT I DO AND WHO I AM
ALL OF MY IMPURITIES
ARE RIGHT HERE ON MY SLEEVE
THIS IS ME

TOMMY BATTLE..HUNTSVILLE'S OWN PERSONAL GRINCH!!

It's been a tradition for folks in the area for the past couple of years to decorate the trees located on Cecil Ashburn Drive. In fact, it would be safe to say that the tradition has EXPLODED. Last year was certainly the most decorative year yet. I'm told the day after Christmas, the HSV Times had an article that City Hall was going to start prosecuting people because the trees were still decorated. It hadn't even reached the first weekend after Christmas and the public heard that threat loud and clear.

People immediately went on the mountain to clean it all up...and not just their own tree. Well apparantly that's not good enough for our newly elected Mayor. He says it's illegal and hopes that the citizens respect the law this year. Does that mean if you're caught you'll be prosecuted?

"You're a mean one, Mr. Battle." And to show you how much we think you're Huntsville's version of the Grinch, we're sending you a piece of coal for Christmas!

It's the Pamela Furr Show's OPERATION GRINCH!

Send your piece of coal in care of:

Mayor Tommy Battle (aka Mr. Grinch)
308 Fountain Circle
Huntsville, AL 35801

Parker Griffith, State Senator, (bad) Physician, Candidate for Congress...and a Liar!!

Don't believe me?

Well, here are the links to what EXACTLY is in the Peer Review from the Huntsville Hospital. I will list these in chronological order.

**Special thanks to Dale Jackson for providing this information, not only to me, but to the entire District #5 community.**

This should remove all doubt that Parker Griffith is NOT the man we need to send to Washington. Even more importantly, this should enrage the community to demand to know why this information has been covered up for the last 20 years. There's an obligation to inform the patients and their families that sub par treatment was given. Neither Parker Griffith nor the Huntsville Hospital lived up to the obligation. Instead they took great measures to cover it all up and hope that it would go away. What is it my grandma used to say? (taken from the Bible) BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT.

November 4, 1988 This document includes an overview of 107 of Dr. Griffith patients 41.1% which received "below the generally recognized standard for deficiencies in treatment." (inadequate care)

December 21, 1988, Part One Part Two Part Three This is a 159 page document titled - FINAL REPORT CONTAINING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE RENDERED BY PARKER GRIFFITH

January 20, 1989 This is a 4 page signed agreement between Huntsville Hospital and Parker Griffith that basically states, if Griffith goes away, the hospital will bury their attempt to prove he was a bad doctor.

January 26, 1989 This is a letter from Parker Griffith withdrawing his request for a hearing and submitting his resignation.
