"Wave"
By Gustave Courbet
It is unlikely that things are going to simmer down among democratic voters before the primary. With that in mind, I am going to try and rant about different things until then. This is not to say that political stuff will disappear here. I can't help it! Only that it feels futile, bickering about two democrats. Neither is perfect, but one is vastly superior to the other.That's how I feel. My mind is set. And so is yours.
Besides, there is still plenty to rant about. Like pharmaceuticals in the drinking water supply across the country. (Viva Viagra!)
Or the Governor of New York buying pricey sex. (A democrat this time, just to mix it up.)
Another suicide bomber killed 5 American soldiers today. (But things are better all the time, really.)
Gasoline is over $4.00 a gallon in parts of my home state. Including my town. (And yet, motor homes abound. Why?)
In Santa Clara County, a sheriff crossed over the yellow line and hit 3 bicyclists head-on yesterday, killing 2 of them. He was placed on paid administrative leave? Paid? Why was he not given a breathalyser test on-the-spot? (Oh right. Different rules.)
We may be moving to a larger shack. Maybe. The mere thought of moving is daunting. However, the bigger shack is very cool. Craftsman style, with virgin redwood vaulted ceiling in the living room, and lots of virgin redwood paneling too. And lots more room. For the massive party we will have in November!

Now now, Annie, you're not following the script. Repeat after me: "The surge is working".
I've found that Juan Cole's website is always a good one to check, whenever I want to learn what's really going on in Iraq i.e. the stuff that the 'liberal' MSM will just gloss over because it doesn't fit in with the current narrative...

Great pic. I love Courbet! Here's another of his if you're interested, a very different one:

PS: I knew that the Governor of New York must have been a Democrat when I heard it was just normal sex with a hooker that he's after... That's just nowhere near deviant enough for the GOP! If he was a Republican then he'd have been busted trying to molest an underage goat through a glory hole... with some amphetamine-secreting Asian balls up his arse... or something...
Right, enough of this dark speculation! :-/
I hope you do keep up the political stuff Annie, good female viewpoints on such issues are scarce enough.
I saw the Gov of New York stood infront of a podium confessing to his own stupidity this morning, his wife stood dutifully beside him looking sombre. I couldn't quite see if she was wearing her husbands testicles as earrings but she should have been.
Cheezy - my husband interviewed Juan Cole on his internet radio show last year. Very interesting guy!
The new shack sounds awesome! But I hear ya on the daunting task that is packing. Ick.
well the last paragraph is good news. tho not the moving part.
I hear ya on the politics, Annie. It's so easy to get upset about it.
when moving, going from smaller to bigger is much better than from bigger to smaller...
and redwood everywhere sounds devine...
don't even get me started on spitzer...but i love all the cooments here, from the underage goat to the testicle earings...HA!
we will get by...

If you move into a Craftsman (ahem, Craftsperson? LOL) style home, you'd better post tons of photos! I love that style!
cheezy~juan cole knows his stuff. as for courbet, i love that painting you
linked-and so much of his work. his subject matter was incredibly varied.
thanks for your input, as always.
lucy~thanks, and i will keep talking politics, for sure. even if my outlook has a tendency to tick people off. i always appreciate your view as well.
jojo~it's a great old place. classic. we weren't looking-it found us. so this whole concept is quite sudden. and moving sucks.
roger~sometimes i wonder if and when we will ever stop moving. it's a dream of mine.
miz uv~it's amazing, how intense it can get. even between allegedly like-minded voters.
nancy~we scaled-down when older child went off to school. but it's just too small. letterman last night: "spitzer? i didn't even kiss her"
tree~if we take the place ,i will post pics, believe me. it's a great
building, from a bygone era.
...although don't get me started on the rude cyclists in the Bay Area....I visit SFGATE a few times a week and read about that accident. Dollars to donuts says that the cyclists were in the middle of the road when they got hit. I can't tell you how many times the bastards were taking up all lanes of Ridgecrest when we were trying to drive up Mt. Tam and they refused to let us pass them. Made me wish I had a bat in the car.
My RSS feed never shows when you have a new post up, annie. Dang. I missed this one.
I've pretty much given up on politics for now. Just biding my time. I can't get all worked up every time something insane happens (which is every five minutes).
Hope you get that house. Daunting as the moving task is, the space will be grand.
jo~yes, there are rude cyclists, but they have every right to be on the road, just like cars. turns out the cop that hit them had DOZED OFF and that he had a dui felony before he was hired as a sheriff. he is guilty as sin. as one who prefers bikes to cars, don't get ME started!! :)
No way! The cop fell asleep?! AND had a DUI felony? How in the world did he get hired?!
Cyclists do have every right to be on the road, I agree. However, they must follow the rules that cars follow, and they don't. I can't tell you how many times I nearly got creamed by a bike messenger running a light or stop sign in SF.
bike messengers in s.f. are rapidly becoming a thing of the past, due to the electronic age. my opinion on cars and bikes in that city is that there are WAY too many cars there. like ALL of california. nobody carpools enough, utilizes public transit, nor do they ride bikes are walk. to me, it is our downfall.
OR walk.
