Just quick post,

while I wait for Carol to pack, then I'll be taking her to the airport after a fantastic weekend, that went by way too fast. We saw 'W', the movie, and I gotta admit I was very much surprised by the way Oliver Stone made him look. I came away with a more sympathetic view of the guy, even though he has screwed us all, 'big time'. He may have done it with good motives, but just stupid tactics, who knows. I still see him as a shill of Big Oil and the military machine, but maybe he was more of a pawn, being used by the Cheney-Rumsfeld crew, rather than actively leading us 'down the path'. Who knows. Bottom line, these last 8 years have been a disaster that we will paying for, for a long time. Was just kinda surprised by Stone's take on it. Was expecting a more critical view of the cowboy conman....

Hmmm. Interesting. We were wondering whether to see it or not. Glad you had a good time with Carol!

I've read many critiques of the movie, some good and others left me with a sense that Stone could have done more with the movie. Either way, Bush was bought and paid for through the Republican cesspool 8 years ago to do exactly what he has done 1)bring war because war jumpstarts the economy-- in this instance it only brought us to ruin. 2)bring wealth to the uber rich Republicans, which it did. 3)Attempt to put the US in the Middle East permanently by attacking Iraq, take control of the oil, take control of the citizens, install a military base in Iraq.

McCain has had 26 years in Congress to "Fix" things, to change the status quo, to be the one to get things done for the good of America. Why hasn't he? Why has he voted 90% of the time with Bush? Why has it taken him 26 long years to become this so called Maverick? 26 years and out of touch with the average citizen. That is the problem we have with our elected officals who are in office too long. They lose track of reality. I think 9 houses are 8 houses too many.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
