Happy Spring!!

Yes, it is that time of year.  The Vernal Equinox.  The dogwoods and azaleas are blooming.  The air is still cool, the sun is warm, the mornings are lovely, and the leaves are coming out.  I love it.  I also love that we leave Pisces and go to Aries.  I am absolutely ga ga over this Aries right now.  And my daughter is an Aries.  So, I am pretty cool about this time of year.  Aries time is all about adventure, new experiences, vigor, and enthusiasm.  

Right now you should be fashioning a garland of azaleas to place on your head.  Open a bottle of Zinfandel from California, and toast to a new year.

Moving On

Okay, I still like Hillary, but maybe I just need to vote for Nader.  Anyway, Pookey says that Hillary can kiss his fuzzy furry white butt.  My best friend scares me.  She is a Republican Freak.  She says she's having an identity crisis -  she says "I don't know what the hell I am."  Yeah, right.  She is one of the most self-possessed people I have ever met.  

I am hanging out with her because I have moved on from my prior location.  I am now a Florida Girl again.  The panhandle rocks!!

Whooooooooooooooooooo!  My best pal and I should be drinking GASPs, the gin-apple juice-sprite-peach schnapps creation from "Beach Week 1988," but supplies are limited.  We were forced to bond over a 2005 Cab from California.  Pretty Nice.

So WTF Democrats??????   I don't know, but we should really focus on keeping the Republican party out of the White House for a couple of terms.  

Bush was a disaster.  Gore should have been president.  We would not be in Iraq.  My brother would not be finishing his third tour in combat.  Thank God he has a powerful guardian angel (our mom) because he is in harm's way and it really bothers me that Geo. Bush is such a dumbass.  Hey, he has daughters.  What does he care?  He flew over Texas during Vietnam.  What does he know?

Yes, I think he is a total fucking idiot.

And I don't call him Mr. President.  I call him the Dumbass from the Lone Star State.  My grandfather's state, mind you, and he was not a dumbass.  He served in WWII and Korea and served valiantly for this nation.  Bush is a coward.

My best pal says the post needs publishing, so signing off for now.

Hillary is Making History in Women's History Month

Whoo hoo! Hillary is still in the race. I can't wait to see what The Daily Show and Colbert Report do with the primary coverage tomorrow night.

Nader was on The Daily Show tonight. He fascinates me. Did you know that the Democratic party sued him about twenty times in 2004 when he dared to run then? Apparently he sued the Democratic party in November 2007 as a preemptive strike for the 2008 bid.

Our "democratic" system is full of prohibitive laws that exclude third party candidates. In Texas, if you vote in the primary, you are barred from signing a petition for a third party candidate who was not permitted to be listed on the ballot in the primary. Does this sound like freedom?

The other issue I have with the election process is how much money it costs. Hillary's folks released the news that she had raised something like 32 million. Then Obama's folks say, well, we raised 50 million!

WTF???? Everyone is worried about where the money came from - who is financing the campaigns of Hillary and Obama, but come on, the more important question is, why do they have to raise this money at all?????

It should not cost millions of dollars to become President. I think Hillary and Obama would agree.
