11/5/08 -- What a great day for America and the world! Congratulations to you all. Now I can become an American citizen, I guess.
It was a momentous relief for me to hear a President mention “Global Warming” with the gravitas it deserves, not a nebulous concept to be buried under platitudes. Over the course of my life, weather patterns in the country of my birth, NZ, have changed dramatically. Perhaps we are more sensitive being a long, skinny island nation. We also have Antarctica in our back yard, so we feel any threat to the ice caps as our own.
I am sorry for Prop 8. The laws of a nation should be about safety and fairness. They should not enforce second-class citizenry.
I have my own issues with “marriage.” I think it is a throwback to feudal times. It ought to be phased out. We should have agreements that get revised at ten-year periods. I can't think why gay people should necessarily want it, but if they want it with all its strictures and ownership over one another, then let 'em have it. What's the big deal? What the heck are we afraid of sharing? Our sacred heterosexual rite?
Being raised in a moderately religious home, I grew up being taught that marriage was a Sacrament -- Sacred. I was told, "No one must come between a husband and wife." Then I would look over at a relative with a black eye meted out by her husband in the privacy of their sacred matrimonial chamber, and the bruises on her child, and I knew that was bullshit. There was nothing holy there. Only love is sacred and heterosexuals don't own that.
I am thankful that the days of anti-intellectualism are over. The last 8 years were like a steady diet of Ho-Hos for the brain. Both Al Gore and John Kerry were torpedoed by this and the vicious assertions of a wicked propagandist, Karl Rove.
Ironically, it was Karl Rove's own predictions about the outcomes of each state that we were following last night. He's undoubtedly a genius, but something got twisted up inside him and he should go down in history as a creep and frankly, a traitor.
Who the hell forced Palin on John McCain anyway? Some pale imitation of Rove? "Let's put another slogan-totin' cowboy up there, only let's put him in a skirt and get the wimmin's vote!" What a horrible mistake. And yet, THANK YOU!
I must say that Rob and I stopped the tivo and got the boys in to watch John McCain's concession speech. We wanted them to see how a great man behaves in the face of defeat. I believe he is a good man and if he had won the Republican nomination 8 years ago, the world would look very different to us now. Still, this diet of hotdogs with Clinton and Ho-Hos with Bush are what has brought us to a new craving for something holistic and someone substantial who will walk beside us through the dark days ahead.
The next eight years will be undeniably hard, but with Obama, I don't think we will feel so alone. Up and at 'em! L
What an ass!
Lame.
Obviously you do, else you wouldn’t have posted.
I find her funny, that's all.
There goes the enraged lesbian vote.
Oh wait.
She's a former beauty contest winner, you know. Their opinions aren't taken seriously
I’ll take her seriously when she’s elected governor of Alaska.
Thanks - I was worried that the sarcasm was too subtle.
“Don’t you have a carpet to clean, Xena?”
ROFL!! “Zena, Zena, The Carpet Cleana”
Gay rights movement is heterosexist.
Was it covered in ice caps, Lucy, when the trees and the flowers and the grasses grew there?
Or, closer to our own time, AFTER the last Ice Age & glaciation of North America...
The bones were radiocarbon dated to 7,050 years ago, plus or minus 120 years.
“It was the peak of the prairie period in Minnesota,’’ Anfinson said.
Minnesota was a drier and warmer place at the time, covered largely by prairie that attracted herds of the giant bison. Anfinson said the early people are believed to have traveled in small bands and hunted the large animals.
Why is any change, factually or not, attributed to Man considered 'bad'; but "natural" change...as long as it stops changing, freezing at the present moment...considered 'good' by the Enviroes & Libs in general?
Change happens, and without it, Lucy, your beloved evolution would be static and the world would stagnate.
Rain falls, and washes the mountains to the sea; the mountain, no longer there, can't trap atmospheric moisture, so the rains cease, and the forest becomes desert, and the moisture falls elsewhere, transforming arid prairies to new forests....
THINK about it, Lucy; "climate change" is a vital and necessary NATURAL process; and, Man is an animal, and thus inextricably a part of Nature, and so his actions, like the flooding of a valley by beavers, is also NATURAL.
I could continue, but won't; I have a tendency to, alas, babble on.
So, then ! ... What's MORE fun?!?!Sarah Palin ...
Or ...
Para Sailin' ?????
:^D
I am thankful that the days of anti-intellectualism are over. The last 8 years were like a steady diet of Ho-Hos for the brain. Both Al Gore and John Kerry were torpedoed by this and the vicious assertions of a wicked propagandist, Karl Rove.The days of anti-intellectualism: oh, yeah, can we get back to selling missile secrets to the PLA, burning women and children, oral sex in the Oval Office, when Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick rode in chariots of gold.
A steady diet of Ho-Hos for the brain: No, BlogBimbo, you and blondie were the Ho-Hos.
Both Al Gore and John Kerry were torpedoed for this: Wrong--Al Gore went from being Armand Hammer's stooge to liquidating our military as Reinventing the Government to sleazy deals with Chernomyrdin to being Soros' partner in Destroying Western Civilization. John Kerry was torpedoed by his own rpg as karma for his traitorous slander of better men than he.
and the vicious assertions of a wicked propagandist Karl Rove--Lucy, Lucy, Lucy: Karl Rove is a teddy bear who only states the obvious about facts on the ground; the vicious assertions of a wicked propagandist would be that bitter Islamo-Commie from Kenya, your sugar daddy Hussein Who Made the Oceans Cease to Rise.
I thought she had a carpet cleaning business ?
Lucy Lawless just hates the fact that Sarah Palin is not a dyke...... I’ll bet that LL just loves bull dyke politicians.....
