Same Old Republican Nonsense

Supporting yet another flag burning ban
Supporting a ban on gay marriage
Spying on just about everyone
Refusing to set a date for withdrawal from Iraq
Bringing up abortion, homosexuality, patriotism, the right to bear arms, and so on, in an effort to divert attention from the real issues.

Yeah. Can't have Americans exercising their freedoms, or making commitments to and caring about each other. Can't have people worrying about details like that little nuisance called privacy, or saving Americans from dying in war that was started based on a big fat lie. And we sure can't have a real debate on why Bush hasn't been impeached, or why our federal deficit is something like a gazillion dollars, or why members of Congress and folks in the White House keep getting investigated for bribery and corruption and whatnot.

Could we please talk about a real issue?! Our economy's a mess. Our military's in trouble. Our reputation in the world is atrocious. We have the village idiot for a president. The rich are getting richer, the poor poorer, and the middle-class is disappearing. It just goes on and on.


In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican

Yeah it's sad. It's one of those things that you can't think about for very long otherwise the enormity of it becomes overwhelming and then you get all stressed out and get a headache and think, "What can I do? I'm just one person," and it just spirals out of control.

At least that's what happens to me.

Honestly. What can we do?

Oh - and about "We have the village idiot for a president"? Truer words were never spoken (written, typed, etc.)

I owe my father-in-law credit for that village idiot comment. He made it last weekend, and I liked it so much, I've been saying it ever since. Thanks Paul!

To be fair, not even AlGore is in favor of setting a deadline for leaving Iraq (at least, that's what he told Letterman the other night).

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
