Mouthing off:

We are having the worst March since we moved here almost 28 yrs ago! Rain Sunday was unbelievable and I think it rained Monday and again yesterday afternoon, buckets! It is raining badly up north and it usually comes down here afterwards. We shall see. Meanwhile, it is cold! I don't ever remember having heat on in afternoon!
Anyhow, it's been a couple of days. Here goes!
Re: Libya
Breakthrough reached after backing by Turkey. At first they would join in but now they have. Actually, 28 countries are in this group. Should have been like that in Iraq! The No Fly Zone is evidently working regardless what the Republicans keep saying! They are bashing Obama like crazy. Well, what else is new! Or, rather, Newt! He's the one doing the most bashing! We are handing the reins over to Nato. They will do the leading and then we won't be in 3 wars in the Middle East at one time! Whew! That's a relief! The 28 member nations all agreed to the No Fly Zone and many lives were saved. Some, of course, were lost but we couldn't control that. One of our planes crashed, not hit, but a malfunction and fortunately no lives lost! Pilots parachuted out. BTW, the UAE are part of this group. Our new role will be "behind the scenes" so to speak.
We are actually part of the backbone of NATO. The No Fly Zone can't last long, so they say. Re Ghadaffi, who knows? He really should be removed but that's not for me to say (Ha! Ha!) He is a monster, really. Has killed so many people for no reason. Meanwhile, the killing hasn't stopped. The No Fly Zone has helped quite a bit but it is not over.
Now, back to U.S.A. Michelle Bachmann (Dear God give me strength!) is forming an Exploratory Committee. That is the new thing now - it is a preamble before committing to say "I am running for President". I think it's new - I don't remember ever hearing about it before. So, now - 3 Republicans have "formed an Exploratory Committee". Wow! I am very excited!
The Newt, The Mitt & The Idiot w/the glazed look. Ooh! Ooh!
Ooh! What a list!
Michelle Bachmann is not the sharpest knife in the drawer! In fact, it's a toss-up between her and Palin - who is dumbest or as they are sometimes called Dumb & Dumber. (In Twitter, which has taken over my life, someone who tweets, when he talks about Palin called her the Screecher! Did you ever listen to her voice? SHE SCREECHES!!!!) Back to Bachmann - she has 5 children and she had 23 foster kids. She home-schooled her kids, don't know about the foster kids. But can you believe it? She really is dim and she home-schooled those kids! OMG!
Enuf about her.
Donald Trump may also be forming an "exploratory committee"! He said and I quote "the beautiful thing about me is I am very, very rich!" Well, that's one reason to vote for him, are there any others?
Locally - Governors - John Kasich of Ohio - is probably the meanest of all of them. He looks mean! Always has this scowl on his face. He is not only taking away collective bargaining, cutting $$$ from education, give tax breaks to the rich, but now he is going to have the liquor stores privatized. Evidently liquor stores are run by the state. Something I never knew, maybe only in Ohio? Who knows! Also, he is going to - get this - sell the prisons! Anyone want to buy a prison? I forgot the amount but much lower than they are worth and then these private owners can hire anyone they want - even ex-cons! I would imagine they could. So, if the prisons are sold that means all these prison guards will be out of work. A lot of what these governors are doing are going to put thousands of more people out of work. And - Ohio does not have a recall system as they do in Michigan & Wisconsin. Wisconsin is looking good, from what I hear. They are getting signatures and hopefully we will be hearing soon about the recall motion being set up.
Lot of unhappy people there. Lot of Republican "buyer's remorse" they are saying in all these states. I don't understand some of these things. Gov. Rick Scott in FL (Digger O'Dell) has a very bad background. Someone that tweets has a blog and I read it (puts me to shame!) . It was about each of these Republican governors and all the info about their past. I can't remember any of it, if I could ever find it again I would print it which is what I should have done. But I do remember that Scott's background was terrible. What I don't understand - when someone is running for office usually the opposition digs around for dirt and how all this didn't come out beforehand or if it did, HOW THE HELL DID HE GET ELECTED! Oh yes, I believe he is a Tea Partier! Or, as one of the tweeters calls it - teacrapper! That's how the FL senator Mark something or other, got elected, by the Tea Party.
On Bill Maher's show couple of weeks ago he had Dana Loesch. She is the founder of the Tea Party in Kansas City, I believe and she also works for CNN. Young woman, very pretty, not what I think of when I heard Tea Partiers. Now, Bill always calls them Teabaggers and she corrected him, she didn't like that. However, it's ok to say Obamacare! Only the rightwingers call it Obamacare - it is National Health Care, which, by the way, is a year old! Doing beautifully. Wonderful thing for our country but the Righties are determined to repeal it. And determined to get rid of Social Security. You know, when I e-mail Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, I ALWAYS get an e-mail back from them. Now, I understand, I am a constituant of theirs. I sent an e-mail to Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and never heard from him. Of course, it wasn't a nice e-mail and I did say he would never be Senate Majority Leader and I did say something not nice about Kentucky, but so what? He could have answered me.
Well, that's about it. I am tired of typing. BTW, has anyone figured what DeMint means when he says
"The bigger the person sets, the smaller God gets"? I think I'll tweet it.
