Well, it's not going to kill you

From the just when I thought they couldn't say anything more stupid or offense catagory

Sorry folks catching up with politics today and a bit of science later.  If you're good I'll even tell you about the lovely dinner we had last night with our friend Gary.

From the New York Times op-ed page today.

DON’T fault Charles Black, the John McCain adviser, for publicly stating his honest belief that a domestic terrorist attack would be “a big advantage” for their campaign and that Benazir Bhutto’s assassination had “helped” Mr. McCain win the New Hampshire primary. His real sin is that he didn’t come completely clean on his strategic thinking. ...

...Among the only durable legacies of the Bush presidency are the twin fears that Mr. Rove relentlessly pushed on his client’s behalf: fear of terrorism and fear of gays. But these pillars are disintegrating too. "

Suddenly intelligent US Citizens everywhere are going to change their minds and decided yes indeed I would like to live in fear and hate for the next 4 years. That's from me.

And here's one for us because I DO NOT want to wake up November 5 and have to say "fucked for another 4 years.

Who says Republicans have no sense of humor

from Huffingtonpost.com

but Novak documents something even more significant: the overpowering sense of revulsion with Bush and today's Republican Party felt by many conservatives. The money quote is delivered by a long-time GOP loyalist: "The Republican Party is a dead rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of Weekend With Bernie [sic], handcuffed to a corpse." I didn't think it could be done, but that tops Republican Rep. Tom Davis' classic "If we were dog food, they would take us off the shelf."

Gave me my laugh for the day!

The big shelf in the refrigerator

I was just in the frig to refill my water glass for the umpteenth time today.  I figure if I have water in my mouth I cannot simultaneously have food in it.  Will someone PLEASE take the rice krispy marshmallow thingies away!!!  I found them at Costco, now I'm addicted.  Yes I know they are disgusting beyond words but it doesn't stop me from inhaling them.

So as I'm returning the water pitcher to the shelf I take a quick survey.  1 water pitcher, 1 stock pot of half done( cooked not eaten)  chicken stock, 2 bottles of vodka (1 raspberry, 1 mixed berries) 2 bottles of beer, 1 bottle of Lemon Drop Mix, 1 bottle of wine with about a glass left, 1 bottle of Grenadine, 1 bottle of Bloody Mary Mix and 1 bottle of apple juice.

Do vodka, bloody mary mix, lemon drop mix and grenadine age like wine?  I hope so because I can't even begin to remember when all those bottles arrived.

Jamie Lynn Spears

The idol of teenage girls everywhere and a shining example of why absintenece only programs don't work.  Poor kid she didn't even get her own name!  Isn't what's his name supposed to be a nice "Christian" boy.

Here's a realistic comment I just came across 

Yes Indianapolis, IN

Reply » | Report Abuse | Judge it! | #1 Feb 25, 2007   You are right. Just say no. Teens and parents must pray to God and not do it. Sex is only for married men and women and for when babies are desired. Just say no. No reason to have sex and so many reasons not to have. Please pray about it and save yourself for God's marriage.

What do I say to this person?  LR and I married far past the age when having babies (notice they always talk about babies  not children) was realistic.  I was 46 and he was 59.  Aside from the whole genetic issue who willing want's to become first time parents at that age?  Does that mean we shouldn't have been allowed to get married?

Oh yes then we have the Catholic Church.  I was raised Catholic and still consider myself one although I learned long ago to use my mind where their teachings are concerned.

Oh I think I must stop now the anger is going to my head.

Talk to you all soon.  Especially since we will be hosting the Dancing Queen for a month while she interns at our friend Rob's engineering office and there is a teenage boy down the road VERY interested in her. 

WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!

Why does this happen so often in Texas?

DNA Test Clears Dallas Man In Prison Since 1993

If I lived in Texas I'd have some serious questions about the justice system in my state.  Well actually if I lived in Texas I'd question EVERYTHING about my state.  

I remember once flying into Dallas.  We were on final approach and an unexpected wind shear hit the plane.  We tilted at a 45 degree angle.  The thought that run through my mind was "please God, I've never done anything bad enough to die in Texas"  No offense to any of you Texans or people who love Texas.  I'm a native Californian it's genetic.

So here in stands

My new blog page.  I'm aiming for a wine-ish theme but I'm not completely sure I've got it.  I'd like to thank my friend Erin who was gracious enough to design the banner for me with input from Eliza.

I'm going to leave it up in this style of a couple of days while I gaze upon it and decide if I need more changes.

Comments appreciated  and any of you web designers out there I'm looking for a color that represents white wine.  The not quite yellow, not quite green but definitely NOT white.  If you have a color code I'd love to have it.  Also notice the uncentered banner.  If someone can help with that I would be eternally grateful.

OK, so now I need to tweak it a little bit

New header up, new fonts now I just have make it all work together - wait isn't that a Pete Seeger song?
