More than my sweetheart,she is my life.

Reminds me of one of Sean Hannitys moments of glaring stupidity and ignorance;

"Obama just wants to be remembered, that's all he cares about. He doesn't want to end up like James Polk. Think about it. What did Polk ever do? Anything?" Ummmm, "Manifest Destiny", Sean? The expansion of the Republic? The creation of a few large "Free States" and the aquisition of the entire West Coast.............you idiot?

I really do hate those people.

Oh, and I'm still leafing through George Orwells--"Collection of Essays", I'm on "England, Your England" at the moment.

At the moment just reading a few week old blog from the New Yorker that a few of you may appreciate.

My mom started an Eastern philosophy stage in her life when I was an adolescent. We didn't have a TV and they didn't particularly care for my music so I read a lot. I was reading Tolkien and Piers Anthony at the same time I was reading Gibran and T Lobsang Rampa. In my top drawer I have a sandalwood necklace from my mother that was blessed by the Dalai Lama, Tenzing Gyatso, on a trip to the US in the 70's. Not sure exactly where I went wrong, but I think where she went wrong was discontinuing corporal punishment at a rough time in my life.

Hopefully not an extreme overabundance of TMI

Got the feds filed. Since I work in one state and live in another, the state returns are a little more complicated.

I live in Washington, but work in Oregon. Washington has no state income tax, but I pay plenty to Oregon.

Somebody has to show them the error of their ways and convert them.

Nobody has torched my worktruck, yet. I'm leaving the Obama/Biden bumpersticker in place for now.
