And when you do finally get in the air, they sell you stale crap they euphemistically call food that isn’t fit for Fido and sell you beer or wine that needs to be run through the horse again; then the pilots go out of their way to find the most turbulent air in the immediate vicinity of the jet so that you can be the first person ever to actually complete, without splashing, the calling for Charles into the airline discomfort bag; and to add insult to injury, the guy sitting next to you had twelve bean burritos with eggs for breakfast. Ain’t flying grand?

tzada: no, it was Reagan.

You are correct, tek. All Carter did was withdraw from the 1980 Summer Olympics and yell in a pickle barrel. Reagan made Osama bin Laden and the Taliban in one fell swoop. This isn’t the first time I’ve said it but the law of unintended consequences bites us in the kiester every time we try to get cute and really seems to haunt the bellicose part of the Republican party.

What a great way to continue proving that we don’t want socialism – no matter how it’s guised and by whom.

Note to Obama: Hands off the children. Otherwise, the press and citizens of the US get to invade your family bubble. Turn about is fair play, Mr. Corruption.

I cannot imagine what people think he has done that is positive – unless you are in the UAW or SEICU, or in banking, or in coal, not a lot!!

Maybe we should give dearest leader a message and all keep our children home from school on Sept 8th.
There is just something creepy about him and this.

Oh fun, oh joy.

Funny how some Republicans remember things. For instance, anytime one of Dubya’s more egregious policies is mentioned, the Republicans in my family start insisting Bush II had a Democratic majority in Congress during both his administrations and whatever bad things happened in the country were the fault of the Democrats in Congress.

This is one of the things that drives me nuts in our country. If people can’t ever look at politicians objectively–whatever party they hail from–how can we ever confront bad policy? If you’re so partisan you can’t look at your own party and see the downside, then you will go through life soaking up whatever propaganda exalts your chosen people.

We were at a professional dinner this weekend. One of the speakers (at what was supposed to be a humorous speech) had to start talking about how much he loves Obama. He said he believes Obama is turning into “a wonderful president.” I would love to know what people base that assessment on. I can’t see that O’s done anything positive, much less wonderful. (But, of course, I’m biased) (not racist–biased)

And fine comment!

tzada, no – abt whom are you speaking? Please say more!

Cindy, yes – Hillary had it right (as usual). What in the world made the same people who widely decried Bush’s lack of experience – and he had more than Obama – throw their weight to someone whose resume was so thin? It is mind boggling to me. Especially because we DID/DO need someone ready on Day One with our economy, two wars, etc., etc. Just shaking my head in disbelief…
