Sorry I've been MIA. The stress of Congress' inane antics and assorted nonsense here at home, frayed my last nerve and a break was necessary. I did try to keep up on y'all and if I missed anyone, it was a sin of omission not commission. I'm probably gonna be slow on this for couple days -- I'm still not 100% and need to sort through some stuff but I do want to stay current here in the Land of Blog and I'll do what I can when I can.
* I saw a new acronym this morning: the GOS (Great Orange Satan) and I think I like it a lot!!! What do y'all think?
* I'm glad (read: relieved) that my SS was deposited but am not happy with the deal with the GOS our representatives made. We need to remember those who want to kill us off at election time next year and kick 'em out. As it is, it's canceling any summer plans I had because I have to do my best to get some cash stashed. I'm allowed to pay my bills and eat -- albeit very frugally. No road trips; no restaurant meals/nights out; no purchases except for scrips and necessities. I also canceled my annual Hall of Fame festival party/partying this weekend -- I just don't feel well enough to cope with it all.
* Here's a video from a lovely, talented young lady who I've become friends with through the We Are Ohio campaign:
"Concerned citizens of central Ohio gathered at Senator Rob Portman's office today at noon, while the Senate was voting on the Satan Sandwich/Raw Deal budget bill on August 2nd, 2011. When even politically moderate grandmothers start talking about revolution, you know it's time for change."
Happy Blogging!!!!!!

Okay, I admit it, I'm slow. GOS -- Great Orange Satan. I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteGOS = Mr. Man Tan himself . . . John Boehner!!!! I wish I could remember where I stole it!
ReplyDeleteWe've lost David Wu out here in Oregon, another politician bites the dust due to womanizing.
ReplyDeleteWe have three Dems and one GOP candidate lined up to take his place. We're fortunately pretty Liberal out here.
What is particularly scary to me is those Satan guys all standing together in a group trying to defend themselves and looking exactly like each other. Balding heads with short hair, glasses, and those terribly expensive power suits. They honestly do look like Satans or something from "Rosemary's Baby".
ReplyDeleteThe problem is... people have short memories. By the time election time rolls around, will they remember? And why do Tea Party people get elected?
ReplyDeleteI am not really well versed with American politics, but from what I see on the news the Tea Party people are responsible with the economic problems in the US.
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand why these kind of people get elected. It's really mind-boggling!
