I think I might explode today - I need something cheerful
People know that I am a bit short tempered around here from time to time, but today listening to the Censure hearing is making me mad/sick/unhopeful and just a general loss in hoping for hope or for anything good right now.

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:



We are done as a Republic

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

10. I'm not sure why this is funny.
Hypochondria isn't something to joke about. Those who are afflicted struggle with it all their lives. Whether this guy is serious or sarcastic - I can't laugh at it.

20. Baby steps....
one criminal at a time, dear ;-)

Seriously, don't let this farce get you all the way down. It's all political theater. Strictly dog and pony. The real stuff happens on the Hill in the back rooms behind closed doors and away from the cameras. I know it's hard, but don't take all of this at face value, you'll drive yourself crazy.


:hi:

4. The people who are pissing you off have very little support
from the American people.. Something like 40%. Buck up!

What did you expect from these hacks? I'm watching them support a criminal and his crimes. That can't be good for their careers.

18. That is how I felt all day yesterday. Think of this...
A year ago if we sat down and tried to brainstorm all the stories that could possibly hit the MSM that would show the Bush Adminstration's true colors could we have ever come up with this list:

Dick Cheney shot someone in the face and of course tried to cover it up

Abramhoff gets indicted and is singing like a canary

Supreme Court Justice flips people off coming out of church

All the science stories coming out that prove that Bush is ignoring global warming

The CIA leak

Libby is indicted

Katrina, God help us

The NSA Scandal

And most importantly think of his rating. People are waking up, it is just painfully slow for all of us who have been paying attention.

22. Beep...Beep...Beep
Beep...Beep...Beep

This is a test of the Republican Indictment System. This is only a test. In the event of a real indictment, you would be directed where to tune for more information(and some bitchin' music to dance around the room to.) This is only a test.

23. It's a beautiful verge-of spring day here in New England
Aftr several weels of relentless cold and gloom, the sun's out and it's actually cofortable out.

It's the kind of day that make you say "George Who?" when you go outside.
