Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Vote for My Dad

The Tie is a Rarity

An excerpt from his speech:

I call bullshit! Our President and Vice President are liars and have been from the start. They have lied to us. They’ve played on our patriotism, and conned us into supporting their misadventure long enough. We invaded Iraq for no valid reason that I can see. We’ve stayed in Iraq for no valid reason I can see. I’m ashamed that I went along with this folly. I’m sorry. I don’t care what does or does not happen with the “Surge.” I don’t care because our cause is wrong. We let an Oil Executive and a weak, unprincipled, ineffectual President lead us into a War of Oil Field Acquisition that has failed – as it should have failed. We’ve thrown away billions of dollars, thousands of lives, our place in the world, and our Constitution for absolutely no reason. I didn’t know that earlier, because they didn’t tell us or I was afraid to vote my “hunch.” But now I know. So I was wrong before. From this day forth, I’m obligated to do the right thing and vote against anything that prolongs this shameful blot on our history.

I like your Dad already. Has he written to his Congressperson to support H.R. 333?

That’s Dennis Kucinich’s bill to impeach “Darth” Cheney. It has 15 (I think) cosponsors already.

Tom, I don’t KNOW that he’s done that, but he is king of letters to congress, letters to the editor. It’s his full time job these days.

I’m in charge of writing our representatives, but it’s a useless job. There’s not a chance in hell any one of them would not toe the line for Bush. Very discouraging. I wore a Pickens County Democrats T-shirt to the grocery yesterday and got accosted by the butcher, saying he hoped there weren’t many of us. And, he was surly when he said it.
