Shovel Ready
February 4, 2009 § 1 Comment
I’m getting seriously tired of these Republicans. From that wimp Gingrey who apologized on the air to Rush Limbaugh because, for one moment, he acted like he was actually in Washington to do his job, to McCain thinking he didn’t lose yet—I want to say one thing: America, love it or leave it! You can be in Iceland in six hours!
What does Obama have up his sleeve? Is he letting the Repubs dig their own grave? (Now there’s a shovel-ready project if there ever was one.) By being so nice…a little stern with the Wall street guys but giving the Senators cookies…letting them think they can work him over, let them bring on their bully boys, their would-be Cheneys…then watch as the I’m-mad-as-hell-and-I-just-can’t-take-it-anymore citizens run amok and dispatch the lot of them with everything we’ve learned from watching MSNBC’s Lockdown?
Actually, I don’t watch Lockdown, but I have caught a glimpse or two.
Not much happening here. Lovely lunch with my friend Maddy, and before that a brisk walk in the pretty cold sparkly winter day, a stop at the French bakery (where I bought cake because it was Maddy’s birthday) and the conversation went like this:
Me –I don’t know what I want yet.
Baker –That’s okay, it’s good to just get out of the cold.
Me –It’s not that bad out now. It’s sunny.
Baker –It’s dark when I get to work; it’s dark when I go home.
Me –Well, at least it smells good in here.
Baker –I can’t smell anything anymore unless it’s nasty or it’s women’s perfume.
Me –Um, which of these two [cakes] is better?
Baker – I don’t know; I don’t like chocolate…
For those of you who get hot thinking of resurrecting extinct animals, here’s one for you. George Mitchell could take it with him as a negotiating aid. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/04/titanoboa-cerrejonensis-2_n_163943.html
Mostly in the Afternoon 
So glad you had lunch with Maddy on her birthday and she got cake and a necklace too.
