Mouthing off:

Sometimes I have a terrible time getting on this blog. It is very strange. Somedays it is right there and others takes me a few frustrating minutes. Well, it's cold here and was raining again. On Twitter, someone who is "following" me sent me a note. On Twitter you have a little bio - not always necessary but most do. I put on mine that I am a former Chicagoan living in the beautiful blue state of Calif. So, she wrote that she is a former Californian living near Chicago. Boo. Hoo. I told her not to feel bad, it's not always the weather that makes your life better and besides, it has been unusually cold here. I do not remember a March like this ever! Even tho it is cold, it is part of Global Warming no matter what your Republican friends tell you. Well, exciting news. The Newt says "he hopes to jump into race shortly, within a month." Now, doesn't that sort of make your day? He also said - and I quote "the water is pretty warm. My hope is that within a month that we'll be swimming very rapidly". Is that supposed to mean something? He may bypass the exploratory committee phase of presidential campaigning and go straight to announcing his candidacy. OMG! Enuf already! You know you're running - let's cut this crap! He is making me sick. I am so not looking forward to this next yr & l/2 of campaigning! I couldn't stand it 2 yrs ago and I will not be able to stand it again! However, I am on Twitter which is taking over my life! I am up to 108 followers and I just love it. It will make life easier to handle the campaigning. Just about everyone in my section hates Palin, Bachmann, Gingrich, The Weeper of the House Boehner, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, etc. etc. etc. as much as I do so it is a lot of fun. Palin's Israel trip created tons of jokes. So, as much as I can't stand it, it should make for a funny campaign season. Libya: Libyan rebels take back 2 key oil centers an push back to capitol. They said it couldn't be done without Nato who gave them big support. U.S.Def. Sec'y gates said the initial action appeared to be a success. This should be a boost to Pres. Obama who has been getting a lot of flak about this - they have been complaining from both sides of the aisle because he hasn't asked for their input about U.S. role, etc. Well, whatever he does is not right. If it is something the Reps wanted to do and he does it - then it is wrong also. It's always wrong because he is black and he is always going to be black! They haven't quite gotten it thru their head yet - WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT! That's it! Now, dingbat Michelle Bachmann is in Iowa and they said she "wow'd" them. I don't think we can count her out even tho she is so dumb. She is a money-making machine. She collected l3.5 mil. for her run in MN - very small district - don't think she even knows where it is or anyone there or is ever there. She is very content to be before the cameras - she never met a camera she didn't love! Things are evidently not so good in Japan. It's like Libya knocked Japan off of our radar. The republicans love all this stuff as it got people to stop thinking of the rotten, lousy, governors in the l6 states. Wait until the royal wedding, it will knock everything off the map! Anyhow, in Japan. they had incorrect radiation figures and shortage of storage tanks. What that means I do not know , but I do know it can't be good. They are suffering so badly there. That radiation has got to be spreading like crazy and it will take a lifetime to clean it up. You really have to feel so bad for them. Of course, you have to feel bad for us, too. Our plants in this country are old and have to be checked and as far as I know, NOTHING is being done to check them. We just try not to think of them and honestly,who thought of them before this happened in Japan? That's it for now - it is ll:18 and I have to have breakfast!
