Happy 18th Birthday AllHatNoCattle!

Still Crazy After 18 Years

Eighteen years. Wow.

Eighteen years ago, I bought the domain name AllHatNoCattle.net the day after Al Gore conceded to George Bush. I was sickened that Jeb Bush broke his oath as my governor to uphold the laws of Florida, and instead went to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop counting the votes. Papa Bush sent James Baker to help Jeb. Jeb also threw about 60,000 voters off the rolls before the election. I dared to call it nepotism.



Florida has since gone to hell in a handbasket due to Jeb Bush and the Republican takeover of the state. Jeb gave Florida the stand-your-ground law and open carry while the GOP ransanked any sane laws. Flori-duh, it deserves that moniker.


George Bush was in Florida when 9-11 happened. Then he hijacked our grief and flew it into Iraq.


Soon, the years passed with Dubya as president and we got an outed CIA agent,  "legalized" torture, 2 raging wars and a crashed economy before Dubya last darkened the White House door.


Through all that time, I received so much support from you. I am eternally grateful for that as you helped me keep my sanity amidst all that Bush chaos and eventually my personal chaos.

Then, America regained its sanity and elected Barack Obama. What a great time that was, we were full of hope as Obama put America back together again.

Full Stop. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2009. I had no health insurance. I had a husband who wouldn't help me, so I turned to my viewers. One of my viewers in Peru, Joe, wanted me to come to Peru, all expenses paid for cancer treatment. My son, who was in China recovering from a 15 story fall days before my diagnosis, wanted me to go there for treatment.

At that time I was so ill. I had stage 2 Hodgkin Lymphoma. I was too weak to make those long flights alone. I really thought I was going to die.



The only other country I knew that could help me was Costa Rica. I made the 3 hour flight with donations from you all and  got on their health insurance plan. After 12 chemo sessions over 6 months and 20 days of radiation, my cancer was gone. You, my viewers, helped me so much through that awful time, not only with donations but your emails, jokes, and optimism. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

When Obamacare care passed when I was at the end of my chemo treatments. I was so thrilled. I remember sitting on my hotel room bed alone, watching CNNI when it was announced. I broke down crying hoping no one would ever have to go through what I went through knowing my own country would not help me.

Now, its 2018 and Republicans are still trying to kill Obamacare. They literally don't care about your health AND your right to vote.


AllHatNoCattle has been alive for 3 presidents. Only one was a good president. America needs humor now more than ever.

AllHatNoCattle will be at your service until I die because I probably wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.


Deep curtsy.

Love,
Lisa



By the way, Lisa means smooth in Spanish. 
Happy 18th Birthday AllHatNoCattle, from me!

Paul Ryan Proudly Put America Deeper In Debt
When Paul Ryan became speaker of the House in 2015, the federal budget deficit was $438 billion. He blamed the “failed policies of President Obama” for budget deficits that had exploded to $1.4 trillion in 2009, the year after the Great Recession, though shortfalls began shrinking in the following years and were continuing to fall as Ryan took the gavel.
Today, with Ryan preparing to retire from Congress, the annual federal budget deficit is again approaching $1 trillion. Over his two decades in Congress, the total national debt increased from less than $6 trillion to nearly $22 trillion.
