The shit that Obama is trying to clean off the fan (and the walls and the floor and the ceiling) started 22 years ago with Reagan. Bush 41 and Clinton did nothing to reverse the trend and Bush 43 went nuts and made things much, much worse. Blaming Obama for not turning things around in a year and a day is unfair and blaming him for creating any aspect of our current difficulties is just plain stupid.

Spent some time straightening out stuff at my workbench, had a good lunch and feel better.

Watched some news and I have to admit this guy Brown marks a turning point for the Republicans. Up until now they had this predilection for senile old men, now they have gone 180 and picked a Playgirl centerfold, probably still has the staple marks in his navel.

Maybe the Democrats should run Levi against Murkowski.

... and giving your Avatar a haircut. Now you look just like Wilfrid Laurier. Soon you'll start posting in French.

That is Sir Wifred, the seventh Prime Minister. Since Sir John A was an Ontario Scot and a Conservative I figured it was time to give a French Canadian Liberal from Quebec some air time.

Would it make any difference if I post in French, I'm not certain people understand my Canadian English here.

Yes, I spotted that too. A haircut and a face lift?

Which translates to "Your hovercraft is full of eels."

Close but for accuracy

"I just might do that because there are Hoe Heads here". In French a Tet de pioche literally translates to Hoe head, meaning that the individual has a mind as wide as the edge of a hoe blade.

Did anyone else notice that Pelosi's face broke. Looks like the string they had in there holding her face tight and in a permanent smile must have snapped. Speaking of old miserable, frumpy democrat women that were weened on lemons, it seems that Senator Brown has saved us from yet another one. I think I'll enjoy this victory for weeks.
