As a pragmatist, i just want to slap idealists silly. that is the bottom line on the Akin apologists and the Hoefling/goode voters.
I want to win and control the House/Senate and White House. Akins shot himself in the foot. A fool. I am ready to move on.
On a brighter note (RME) I am headed to Ithaca, City of Evil, for lunch today. My friend moved away eons ago. Her husband died recently and she is back visiting her family. They moved to Ithaca after she left. Cannot wait to see her. Her daughter and mine were friends, still are via FB. Her son was friends with my son. Sleepovers galore. I am looking forward to it, just hope it’s not too melancholy. I hope I brighten her day.
We had the dedication for our new office building this morning. Cong. Tim Murphy was here for about 10 minutes. Sen. Toomey sent a proxy. I moved in yesterday. No more offices with doors, everyone is in cubicles. At least I have a bit of a window.
We moved some stuff from my mom’s house yesterday. I have a lazy boy and a love seat for my Forman’s basement now.
Getting the riding lawn mower today.
What bothers me is that there are ONLY 100 senators in the Senate and Akin is hardly one of the 100 smartest men in the country.
I’m convinced that Akin shot himself in the foot, reloaded and shot himself in the other foot-and where did he get his information on female biology-from the Taliban? Imams who preach sharia? He needs to just shut up, go away and let someone with a brain run for senate.
