Good Morning!
We are having such (unusually) nice weather for this part of the country, that I have just not had time to pop in and say hello. Between work, driving around in my new convertible (LOL), reading on the deck, the time just flies by. But the weather has been nice, sadly, too dry cause our lawns are burning already (again unusual), but at least we have seen a lot of sunshine.
Just wanted to say hello and bitch about something for a second...Why do you think there are so many naysayers about President Obama and his policies and his administration? How can these people stand there with a straight face and complain, complain, complain. And yet when you suggest that for 8 years the foxes were guarding the henhouse and that is why we are in such a mess, they just sneer and make some inane comment about our president and walk away. I get so mad.
I honestly believe some of these people--no make it MOST of these people, would have been happier with an old war hero - who is not in the best of health and an ignorant hillbilly running this country instead of an extremely intelligent, thoughtful black man? And there is the key I suspect, a “black” man. I think racism is more rampant in this country then we ever thought. Everyone knows there are certain parts of the country where it is pretty obvious and we all know people who are either outwardly racist or quietly racist, but I think there is far more than we ever believed. I mean, how else can you explain it? Sarah Palin, and she is ignorant--not stupid, she is definitely not stupid, but she is NOT intelligent. She is little more than a hillbilly with a gift for public speaking (well to some people--personally I would rather listen to cats howling in the middle of the night) or you have someone who not only can string a lot of words together, who actually KNOWS what those words mean. Ahhh well, what can you do.
I am going to start carrying a list of the accomplishments of this administration around with me and just hand it out to people who make nasty comments. I met the VP of a company the other day--a company my boss works for, I was introduced to him and the person introducing me felt the need (why??) to mention that I am a huge Obama supporter etc. It was all done in a nice way and in a joking way, all was fine. But this AH, felt the need to turn it into something else and absolutely sneered as he made several untrue and well, quite frankly, not very nice comments, ending up with, well, enjoy it now, cause he is only here for a short visit.
There are some republicans that make me want to separate their head from their shoulders with a baseball bat and he was one of them. You know the type, tight-ass, sneer, look down their noses. I so wanted to take this guy on you cannot imagine. But, because I have the utmost respect for the person who introduced us and affection for this man and his wife (who I work for), I had to shut my mouth, smile and say something inane and walk away. GRRRRR
But I think I am going to come up with something I can carry with me (no not a baseball bat) and hand to these idiots.
And on that note, I have to close, thrift shop volunteering today and since it is closed for the month of July, everything in the shop is $1 today, should be bedlam.
Have a good one--any and all suggestions for putting jerks in their place are appreciated--welcomed!!

I disagree with your assessment of Sarah Palin. Not only is she ignorant, she is stupid. Stupid, I tell ya. The woman may be clever and she may be cunning, but she is STUPID.
Yes, racism is rampant. Mexicans are targets. Blacks are targets. Arabs and/or Muslims are especial targets of pure unadulterated racism. It’s not rational, but racism is never rational, either.
I invite you to take a look at the twitter account page for a local tea partier. He is very active in the local Tea Party scene and he’s one scary fellow. Click on his twitter account photo to get the full size one. Add that to his twitter name and I don’t quite see how you can frame any argument to effectively refute anything these people have to say. They have simply lost touch with reality. They are so filled with hate and anger and fear that nothing else registers. You’d get more effect from talking to a brick wall. And the brick wall wouldn’t shoot you.
