"out OF it".. I should have written...
I was having a "Bush Moment" sorry...
Happy New Year, SunShine, and a belated Boxing Day, too!
This is an excellent reminder of the great improvement in our government that took place this year!
Ok, alright, I remember how bad it was!
I'm still gonna be an antiwar hippie chick though :)
What a great blog post.
I know I have been hard on his "O"-Ness this year, kicking his butt over the snails pace repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and DOMA, and not getting the U.S. combat troops out of Iraq sooner.
It's just because I worked on his campaign, gave time and money and I have high expectations of Obama. Unlike the Motherfucker from Midland, who I had no expectations other than failure.
I want Obama to succeed and every day I get up and I am grateful Obama is president and not the Old Coot. Can you imagine if the Old Coot was president and Palin, vice president? There's a nightmare.
Unlike the un-American rants by clownasses like Rush Limbaugh and Mary Ellen Lieberman, who celebrate anything they perceive to be a failure by the administration.
Maui G.... America's intellectual, emotional and psychic landscape needs a lot of refurbishing. It is a beginning. Now...if we can only get rid of Ruppert Murdoch...
Libs...I am with you on the war... it should end yesterday as far as I am concerned....at it should have never started in the first place.
Christopher.... thanks. I know you are disappointed... the real deal is... so am I... not only about lack of progress in correcting 'wrongs' about civil rights, but 'wrongs' about our environment, our finances, but what really kills me is this new image fostered by Bush Thuggians that Americans are uncivil idiots.
It was a big part of what drew me to the blogs..... a great group of divergent personalities reaching out to others for the betterment of all. ( I just wish we call all sit down and have a beer )
I'll buy the first round!
My favorite Chimpyism has to be the OB/GYN one.
I'm the kind of guy who enjoys to seek recent things. Right now I am fabricating my hold solar panels. I am making it all by myself without the assistance of my staff. I am using the net as the only path to acheive this. I stumbled upon a really brilliant site that explains how to build solar panels and so on. The site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.
I'm not exactly sure about how accurate the info given there iz. If some guys over here who have experience with these things can have a peak and give your feedback in the site it would be awesome and I'd highly value it, cauze I really lav solar panel construction.
Tnx for reading this. U guys are great.
