George W. Bushisms

I have a quote calendar at my desk of things George Bush has said. It scares me sometimes the things he says... HOWEVER, this was interesting.

From August 24th, 2006:
(the quote is from 1/22/04, he was advising New Mexico senator Pete Domenici (a quail hunter)

"Just remember it's the birds that's supposed to suffer, no the hunter."

Apparently Cheney wasn't there for this comment.

Election 2008

"This is the first presidential election since 1928 in which neither party has an incumbent president or vice president attempting to get his party's nomination."

---Interesting.

OK... for now, I'm ending here, I had a whole big post about Hillary Clinton, but it got lost... Frustration! Must be the current administration trying to censor me! Maybe I'll try again later, I saved most of the rough notes I had.

Lamont vs Lieberman- Round 1 goes to Lamont.

My interest in politics has waned over the years, all thanks to our current President. I vomit in my mouth a little, every time he talks. But I currently live in a state where there was a heavily contested Senate seat available. The Primary battle pitted Democrat Lamont vs Psuedo Republican Lieberman. Ned Lamont managed to win the primary, but can Lieberman win re-election as a Independent?

I can't say I'm sorry to see Mr. Lieberman lose the primary, he's a bit too conservative for my taste. By his support of the war in Iraq, and his belief in meddling in our private 'medical' lives, sometimes I think he's an Abermoff photo away from being a Republican.

However, I do have mixed emotions about Lieberman losing. Technically, he was a Democract with political clout (he was just using it for evil), and it may rally the Republicans around their candidates across the nation. Combine that with the fact that him running as an Independent can split Democratic votes, and throw the election to the Republican candidate (Joe "Ralph Nader" Lieberman).

Well, November should be interesting.

I Need A Break From The Weekends!

Well it has arrived. The rest of the summer will be busy, busy, busy. Our house like a hotel. Got visitors coming each and every weekend until September and it started this weekend. Cousin-in-laws with their daughter, the same age as ours. It was a good weekend, the girls played together, and we get along with them very well. It was pretty much Beach and Playground for us.

They left Sunday afternoon, but as they were leaving, a couple of our college buddies shows up (we DID know they were coming) and we spent the rest of the day hanging out with them, finally getting alone time (no, not that kind) at 9pm. Whew! Talk about busy, I was glad to be at work.... no not really.

Well this week has the arrival of my folks. They'll be here for three weeks selling some of my dad's art at various festivals each weekend. It'll be good to spend sometime with them. Since we only get to see them a couple of times a year. The second weekend they're here, my brother, his daughter (and her son), plus my cousin will be coming. Talk about a packed house! Towards the end of my parents' visit, my sister is going to come up too. And that takes us pretty much into September.

Now I'm REALLY glad to see so much of my family. When it comes to family visits, mine really gets the shaft. I mean, not really by choice. Just that the majority of my family is a 3 hour flight, where as my in-laws are a 2 hour drive.

Again, I love the visits because I want my daughter to know her relatives (my family members have always been geographically distance from each other). However, we bought our house with KNOWING we had to do some work on it, and with all the trips and visitors, I haven't had a chance to do any big projects since early spring.

Ho hum.. the life of the popular.
