Real Life …
It’s the curse of the blogger.
I’ve been spending 12+ hours a day finishing up the rehab on an apartment that my Mother manages, and I can finally see the end. This has been going on for months and nothing seemed to change until this week.
Which is important because this Saturday is Susan Butcher Day and the start of the Iditarod. Mardi Gras and Florida’s legislative session start next Tuesday, so there will be things I want to talk about.
New Zealand has made the end of search for survivors official, and they have shifted to the clean-up needed before the rebuilding can take place.
The Middle East is still a mess, and despite the American Media’s efforts to ignore it, the demonstrations in Wisconsin continue while new demonstrations have started in Ohio.
Obama continues to side with the Republicans in hopes they will vote for something, anything, he proposes, while they continue to ignore him, knowing he is willing to move to the right of the Tea Party to “strike a bipartisan deal”.
Obama is talking about some level of intervention in Libya, but refuses to do anything about Wisconsin, while the Wisconsin senate Republicans are considering using bounty hunters to bring back the absent Democratic senators. I wonder when the Reps will decide to launch airstrikes on the motel the Dems are living in.
I heard a few minutes of Talk of the Nation in the car on the way to get more drill bits, and they had a caller who was arrogant in his ignorance. He didn’t care that the information he was spewing was flat wrong about the Obama administration’s decision to stop defending the “Defense of Marriage Act” in court. It would be nice to think that the US fell because of a diabolical plot, instead of the ignorance of millions of its citizens.
