The world will stop spinning in just a few minutes, just ask a republican..

We need to get back to basics. Gay marriage approved in a few more states (god help us) the stock market is going through the roof! Obama's job approval is at 50% (who saw that coming?) GM didn't fail, bilk the tax payers (too heavily) and has managed to turn a record company wide profit, pay back some of their loan and give workers a bonus (it has to be a left wing conspiracy by the union workers and can not be allowed to last!), and that pesky unemployment thing keeps going down! Have the saints forsaken us?

There is some comfort, we have managed for the moment, to divert attention from all this kayos and put it squarely were it belongs, away from our failures of today to refocus on our past, abolishing abortion and contraceptives for women, making then only have sex for pro-creation, and if they mess that up too bad, they have to deal with those pesky children on their own, because any woman who can manage to get pregnant deserves to have a worthless child hanging around their neck for the next 20 years or so.  Forget the cost of the pill vs. the sanctity of life at any cost (we republicans are not really good at math but we excel at morality, just ask Newt's third wife!). We welcome the tax-exempt help from the Catholic Church, which we are relieved to be on our side for a change, after all, we, the republican party are the most holy and righteous party looking out for America's well being! Those pesky liberals have no idea how to act like good, caring, loving and obedient Christians like the Catholics do. They love a good fight, just look at all the practice they had in the Crusades!

 Obama, that dirty fighter, has managed to convince half of those who bother to take polls that he is actually doing a better job in D.C. despite our best work in blocking everything he has tried to do these last few years, including sticking him with dealing with his predecessors budget for the first year in office, and making him take the heat for the three years of kayos he's had to live through by our gerrymandering. Not to mention relieving dad B and sonny from the responsibility of releasing our brethren, the lonely 1%, from paying more tax than they think is fare. After all, they create all those jobs the liberals keep harping about. And hats off to Sonny Bush, giving our defense contractors such a good long unfunded war, and for our buddies the Chinese for taking a chance on us and loaning us the trillions of buckaroos we need to sustain this darn thing, until of course, pesky Obama ended it so abruptly.

  Now if we can only get involved in a war with Iran, everyone will forget that Obama's watch got Bin La din, found, shot or contained most of his minions, solved a crisis with other NATO troops protecting Libya, and got us out of Iraq and killing Saddam Hussein, even though he was a long time trusted ally in that region for decades. Nothing like a good new war to re-energize the republican base! and DADT has to come back! Every man and woman should kept in their places and act like men and women for the love of the gods. These men and women are fighting to keep the status quo,not to stir up all sorts of rubbish about 'all men are created equal" thing, which is a completely out of context statement that those pesky libertarians like to mess with.

thoughts

One of my online buds was busy wishing that today was Friday already so he could start his weekend. I am certain he, like the rest of us, appreciates hard work, and the benefits of having a day off to re-connect with things he either had procrastinated on or is looking forward to beginning.

I wondered why he, along with a lot of us, was wishing his life away, one day at a time. We have this moment, this time at our disposal now. It is for today to do or live or feel whatever we are supposed to do right this very second. The thought does occur that we do not know with any reasonable amount of certainty if we actually will wake in the morning, or make it through the rest of today.

Why not spend this moment, this day doing, feeling, expressing, loving, or breathing everything today, right now, that the moment has to offer? Why not appreciate the job you hate or the house that needs cleaning, or the dog that needs a bath and turn it around to make these things we are trying to avoid and just do what we have to to the best of our abilities and live within the moment. Been putting off making a phone call to a loved one? Don't have time to visit someone you are missing in a nursing home? Missing that time to play with your children or your grandchildren? There is no time like right now, you can always be a couch potato after you die. Then is the time to 'rest'.

SSDD from our 'esteemed representatives'

Romney is aloof, Gingrich is sly, We need more anti-abortion legislation, yet we want to reign in big government, We should all have equal freedoms, but still be discriminatory against same sex marriage, Democrats spend too much,,,but Reagan started it all...

Over and over, radio, TV, internet spin, Republican party elite think we should just shut up and listen to them, because everyone else is wrong. Thinking aloud for a moment here,  President Obama has seen some job growth, despite surviving one of the worst recessions in decades that started well before he took office, managed to change health care insurance laws so children with pre-existing conditions can stay on their parents insurance a little longer, found and eliminated that Bin laden character, oh, and helped stop a brutal war in Libya without getting US grown troops involved, and I think I'm forgetting something..oh...Ended a war in Iraq, and made plans to get us the heck out of Pakistan, without the help of a house that is determined, to hell with what America needs, lets make him a one term president, working against him with such vitriol and transparent bigotry it makes us wonder if we are back in 1956.

Where is the common sense. One Republican candidate thinks $375K is not an a lot of money, hardly worth mentioning, one has divorced sick and ailing wives twice so far, all the while carrying on affairs with the next mrs whoever. Another thinks gays should just stop being gay for god's sake. Another wants to legalize street drugs, dissolve the government and carry on. Justice for all so they maintain.

Good Grief.
