Bill Mahr editorial in the LA Times: The GOP: divorced from reality
Look, I get it, "real America." After an eight-year run of controlling the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court, this latest election has you feeling like a rejected husband. You've come home to find your things out on the front lawn -- or at least more things than you usually keep out on the front lawn. You're not ready to let go, but the country you love is moving on. And now you want to call it a whore and key its car.
That's what you are, the bitter divorced guy whose country has left him -- obsessing over it, haranguing it, blubbering one minute about how much you love it and vowing the next that if you cannot have it, nobody will.
But it's been almost 100 days, and your country is not coming back to you. She's found somebody new. And it's a black guy.
The healthy thing to do is to just get past it and learn to cherish the memories. You'll always have New Orleans and Abu Ghraib.
Hee. When Bill Mahr is on he really is fun.
It really is a thing of beauty. I'd love to have an audio of that to blast at every "tea party" that ever occurs.
Date #3 is being planned.
Two more bits of brilliance from that Bill Mahr editorial:
It's sad what's happened to the Republicans. They used to be the party of the big tent; now they're the party of the sideshow attraction, a socially awkward group of mostly white people who speak a language only they understand. Like Trekkies, but paranoid.
The thing that you people out of power have to remember is that the people in power are not secretly plotting against you. They don't need to. They already beat you in public.
More and more mac is opting out of getting happy meals. Today he got the regular menu nuggets. Also? He is about to lose another tooth.
whoo-hoo, msbelle! When do we get to hear a little bit about the mystery date?

I just watched that last night. He was especially on. He's also pretty even handed in his criticism of Obama--which is refreshing. Howard Dean was one of his guests.
Our gym had a health & safety fair today and the kids had a blast with the crash test dummies and other mascots. We did the fire safety smoke house, learned how to brush our teeth and talked to a police officer who gave them a badge. Owen got some face time on the news when he was wearing a surgical cap and mask.
Smooth-move~ma to sarameg.

You're so lucky! The new happy meal is a Kidz Bob CD.

This made me laugh as "Smooth Move" is also the name of a tea with laxative properties.
I'm spending most of this splendid day inside in class, but I ran around at OSV yesterday, so I got a really good outdoor day behind me now.
