That's all I can say about this. Go. Read. Laugh. Quickly now, before the Blogspot PC police catch wind.

Remember growing up, how we all hated it when our parents basically told us "do as I say, not as I do"? Politicians are worse. Back in May then-candidate Obama said:
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said ( Read more... )

I had forgotten about this bit of history, but it is kinda fun. President Obama is the 44th President of the United States, but he's only the 43rd person to take the oath.

We can easily pick them up again tomorrow. Today was a day that you can be proud to be an American. Today we saw the peaceful transition of an office both symbolic and political in nature, something unique in the world. No tanks rolling in the streets, no riots in the city squares, nothing more than celebrations of something uniquely ours. For the ( Read more... )

Anyways, we got onto the subject of a person's rights, and another coworker asked that I post my thoughts on them to LJ so she could link to them. So y'all can blame her for these musings ( Read more... )

No more election. I say we take a page from the Drazis' playbook and be done with it.

For those of you who don't get it, leave a comment and someone will explain. There's at least six people I know who read this and will get it.

No, not that kind of commentary. More of a thought I had while riding prior to MOO. Kind of a memory dredged up from those old high school government courses, really ( Read more... )

As I'm sure everyone has heard, today was Super Tuesday. Interesting factoid about Colorado: we're no longer a primary state, but instead became a caucus state a few years back. Normally, I don't bother going. Our primary/caucuses are ordinarily held in late March, long after the nominee has been decided. This year the parties moved the date up to ( Read more... )
