A new post – finally

It seems like it’s longer and longer between posts. Oh well. I do the best I can with what little I have to work with. What’s been happening in the last month? Tons of stuff.

Of course, Obama was inaugurated, though maybe Roberts was trying to sabotoge Obama when he swore him in incorrectly. Was this a way to make Obama’s presdency illegal? Anyway, they did it right later on so that ploy wouldn”t work. Can you believe it, I felt a little sorry for W (just a little). Here’s this asshole who was responsible for all this death and grief, and for an administration that stole everything that wasn’t nailed down, and then some, and I feel like, wow, most everybody hates this guy. Can you imagine being so hated?

It’s sad what this government has come to. It’s all Party politics. How could every Republican in the House be against Obama’s stimulus package?

Greg Palast wrote an interesting letter the other day:
“Republicans are right. President Barack Obama treated them like dirt, didn’t give a damn what they thought about his stimulus package, loaded it with a bunch of programs that will last for years and will never leave the budget, is giving away money disguised as “tax refunds,” and is sneaking in huge changes in policy, from schools to health care, using the pretext of an economic emergency.

Way to go, Mr. O! Mr. Down-and-Dirty Chicago pol. Street-fightin’ man. Covering over his break-you-face power play with a “we’re all post-partisan friends” BS.

And it’s about time.”
