Hello Hamster Nation. Hope you are all well and reasonably happy. I don't think I have a lot to say tonight, but I never know until I start typing where I'm going. So, let's start off with something easy.
When the Democrats take back control in 19 months, if they don't name Anthony Weiner as Speaker, they're idiots. Unless of course he runs for Senate, which I would wholly endorse. Love that guy.
Which naturally leads us to the Republican contenders and pretenders. First is Mitt "I hate Obamacare even though I created the same thing" Romney. Then there's Haley "there was no racism in the Mississippi I grew up in" Barbour. Mike "can't keep my feet out of my mouth" Huckabee. Sarah "I know foreign policy when I see it" Palin. Tim "I make Al Gore look giddy" Pawlenty. And leading up the pretenders, Donald "I need to fire my hair" Trump.
Really.
But when you look around the Republican Party, is there really anyone any better than that lot? Mitch Daniels has an outside shot if he doesn't get recalled in Indiana. Same for Christie, but I think he's rubbing too many folks the wrong way. None of the governors are likely to survive their whole terms without being recalled or having to work with Democratic majorities in their state houses.
Because of other things happening in the world the protests have fallen further back in the news cycle. But they are still going on, getting larger, recall efforts are progressing, and the People are still fighting back. Now if only the Democrats would get out there and take ownership of this thing, they might actually stop the 30 year Republican takeover of the country.
I was up and had MSNBC on in the background when the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. It was the most amazing and disturbing footage I have ever seen. I've seen lots of disaster flicks, but that, the reality of it, was almost too much. And, living only a mile from the beach here in SoCal, a little nerve-wracking as well.
Head Rattling Hypocrisy of the Day: John Boehner's letter to President Obama shaming him for ignoring Congress before using military force in Libya. Really, John? Weren't you there and in full support of Bush's War of Lies? Quite frankly, Obama had no real choice. Things moved very quickly, and you guys only know Quick as a chocolate milk mix.
Well, as I said, not much to say tonight. Just wanted to get back into it. Again, hope you are all well. Stay safe.
