Winds of change

What a relief! I could feel the shift in my bones on Tuesday night. People across the country are tired of the status quo and want a new direction. I believe the Dems are capable of making this change. The question that remains is "Will they?". This is a real opportunity for "the LEFT" to adjust attitudes towards America and Americans around the world. I only hope they are not caught up in the advancement of the party to the detriment of the people who put them in office. We need to remind them as much as possible of this fact. I don't think it will happen right away...but it took almost a decade for the GOP to start getting caught with their proverbial pants down.

On a lighter note, I find it ironic that Republicans are now complaining about the voting machines not working. Maybe they can just pull up some footage of some Kerry or Gore in 2004 or 2000 and replay it. You know, to save time and hot air.

Dems won b/c the people do want change. I don't think anyone is sure what they want, but they know that what is in power has to go. This doesn't really speak to a 'win' for the Dems though. It's like no one would vote them into power until they just couldn't stand the stench of Tovar's ass, so they had to crack the window.

Stop the High Fives!

I really hate football season. The fantasy leagues, the pools, the armchair quarterbacking, the Monday mornings when people are talking about what a great game so-and-so had yesterday and how many yards he had passing/running. It's not that I don't like the game of football. I actually enjoy it thoroughly. But I cannot stand all the analysts and talking and "human interest" stories the reporters down on the field do. And the celebrity watching by the cameras in the stands. Just because TomKat is on the Redskins sidelines, doesn't make the 'Skins somehow a better team. Can we just watch the game? Do we have to have John Madden or Joe Theisman or some other retired player/coach tell us what is going through the mind of the left tackle right before the ball snaps? The play-by-play is tolerable, but everything else is too much. I want to hear the sounds of the game. I want to hear the crunch of bones; the slap of skin against pads; the thud of bodies on top of bod...

"C" Word

What is it about the "C" word that most women find so offensive? I tried to use it today when I was cut off by some bitch on her cell phone driving her 47 kids around in the Expedition. I could see that she was quite distracted by all the goings-on in her vehicle, but come on!! I had to slam on my brakes and almost get hit by the car behind me. I was so mad that I tried to call her the "C" word, but it wouldn't come out of my mouth. I was left wondering why I couldn't say it. Maybe it's the same as Tony who hates the word "nipple" or Jenna who hates the word "moist", or Megan who hates the word "scaffolding"? Scaffolding? really? Why would you use "hate" to describe your feelings about scaffolding? Hmmm. I just don't know why I hate the "C" word. It brings to mind that scene in "Silence of the Lambs" when Clarice Starling goes to the prison to meet Hannibal and gets Migs' semen thrown a...

Bah Humbug

As the "holiday season" gets into full swing, I feel the need to vent about how much I hate this season. Really, it is the day after Turkey to December 25 th . The week between X-mas and New Year's is probably one of my favorite weeks of the year. All the pressure to get the perfect gift has been lifted and I can enjoy the company of friends and family without having to worry about whether the wrapping paper I chose is appropriate. When I was a teenager and my parents had recently divorced, there was a lot of responsibility placed on my 16-year-old-shoulders to transport myself and 2 sisters to all the right places at all the right times. Mom's house for breakfast, Grandma's house for lunch, Dad's house for early dinner, Auntie's house for late dinner and finally (phew!) to another Grandperson's house for dessert. It should be noted that these locations were all over the county. There was at least a 30 minute car ride between all of them. "Everyo...
