anne_dI need to rant, and if I can't fulminate here, then where?
I am in the bad mood to end all bad moods. If there was someone available, I'd be doing some nose-punching. I don't know what happened, it all just came down on me like a ton of bricks.
There was an editorial in today's paper that really got me riled (the quotes - I agree with Margaret Carlson on the issue) -
From Barbara Bush, who should know better:
Barbara Bush found a bunch of happy campers experiencing a step up in their living conditions. She saw visitors "overwhelmed with the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working [she chuckles here] very well for them."
How very... condescending of her.
As for our Fearless Leader, George the Lesser:
Tanned and rested from a vacation so long it would embarrass the French, Bush initially flew over the devastation in Air Force One, promising his prayers on his way someplace else. When he actually arrived in Louisiana a few days later, he reminisced about going to New Orleans "to enjoy myself, occasionally too much," apparently thinking he was at a fundraiser. He topped that in Mississippi: "Out of the rubble of Trent Lott's house … there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch."
May I throw up now?
Anne, thank Goddess the midterms are coming
