No love there…

According to snopes.com, this obituary was actually published. I’m guessing Mother’s Day was not celebrated by this family…

Dolores Aguilar, born in 1929 in New Mexico, left us on August 7, 2008. She will be met in the afterlife by her husband, Raymond, her son, Paul Jr., and daughter, Ruby. She is survived by her daughters Marietta, Mitzi, Stella, Beatrice, Virginia and Ramona, and son Billy; grandchildren, Donnelle, Joe, Mitzie, Maria, Mario, Marty, Tynette, Tania, Leta, Alexandria, Tommy, Billy, Mathew, Raymond, Kenny, Javier, Lisa, Ashlie and Michael; great-grandchildren, Brendan, Joseph, Karissa, Jacob, Delaney, Shawn, Cienna, Bailey, Christian, Andre Jr., Andrea, Keith, Saeed, Nujaymah, Salma, Merissa, Emily, Jayci, Isabella, Samantha and Emily. I apologize if I missed anyone.

Dolores had no hobbies, made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life. I speak for the majority of her family when I say her presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over her passing. Her family will remember Dolores and amongst ourselves we will remember her in our own way, which were mostly sad and troubling times throughout the years. We may have some fond memories of her and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a good and kind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I hope she is finally at peace with herself.

As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a family again. There will be no service, no prayers and no closure for the family she spent a lifetime tearing apart. We cannot come together in the end to see to it that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren can say their goodbyes. So I say here for all of us, GOOD BYE, MOM.

Phelps won by 0.01 seconds against Cavic by doing one more arm stroke instead of gliding to the wall…

Of course, Michael Jackson also had a few kids, and we still wonder how that happened…

The thing that always disturbs me about Diebold (Premier Election Services) is that… they have made something that should be simple so overly complicated that it inevitably will expose some security flaws. It seems the casinos is Las Vegas have more stringent regulations for slot machines than we do for our voting machines. I mean really… they have details on how to do it on Huffington Post. Or maybe you trust some computer scientists from Princeton to show you how it could be hacked. And sure, these stories have been around for years, but there’s no indication that Diebold has gotten it right in time for the 2008 election… Geez.

At least I live in a state that gets it.
