(five thirty is extremely early. which may explain why i am always late.)
I am SO sad that I haven't had time to blog lately! But of course, I am one of the lucky ones. I have a job.
Not that I didn't have a job before, but it was a self-employed job, which doesn't really count as a job because if you are foolish enough to be self-employed then you deserve to pay double taxes and outrageous health insurance premiums even though you are the embodiment of the supposed American Dream of self sufficient entrepreneur based small business ideal which unfortunately when you boil it right down means diddly squat.
Not that I'm bitter.
Anyway.
I've missed a lot, including the opportunity to rail against the Republicans who are now suddenly dead set against any deficit spending even though the current deficit can clearly be traced back to the Bush administration.Which, as I recall, was proudly Republican at the time.
Not to mention the Republicans who are now totally outraged about the push-back against the Arizona immigration bill, claiming that the federal government's inaction is to blame even though the Republicans are by any definition the inactive portion of the federal government.
Plus of course let's not forget the Republicans who are totally upset about the Gulf oil "spill" even though if we cared to connect the rapidly gushing dots, which they would rather not, those dots would form a straight line leading to some Republican leaders who shall remain nameless but whose names would rhyme with Mush and Brainy. Which is quite apt.
I wish I had time to elaborate. But I need to get up at 5:30 so I won't be late for work.
Let's just leave it at that.

ReplyDeleteGood to see you back in the blogosphere Lesley.
ReplyDeleteYes, the GOP is inane and completely useless... look at how republicans in the U.S. Senate are blocking unemployment benefits extensions to those who desperately need it.
Gosh, I've missed your rants! Isn't it amazing how election time triggers amnesia?
ReplyDeleteFrom your other comments, looks like you've been spammed! ...unless you have a lot of Asian fans.
