Post-Election Depression

For those who feel a little (or a lot) down in the dumps this day after elections, here's an article with a few tips.

I actually googled this, I am really bummed today. It doesn't help when the "other side" is right there to celebrate (yeah, I would probably be the same way). I hope that the "messiah" can work the miracles he has promised (doubtful), so I guess I hope that my umbrella is big enough and can hold up for the shit storm that is bound to happen. For more outrage and scolding aimed at the GOP (therapy), I suggest Nel Boortz and/or IMAO .

Drilling takes center stage on Capitol Hill

Found this article on Panhandle Poet's blog this morning. From the Houston Chronicle, it talks about the energy bills being brought up in Congress. I loved this quote from the President-

"This is their final chance to take action before the November elections," Bush said. "If members of Congress do not support the American people at the gas pump, then they should not expect the American people to support them at the ballot box."

Too bad they are having to spend all their time bailing out the sub-prime lenders and their bad loans, now we'll have raised taxes and higher fuel prices.

More Head-Rattling

I feel guilty, I have been neglecting my little blog here. It's pretty sad when you start to rely on other people to convey your own thoughts. Plus doing that whole work thing, and lack of energy to do much in general other than what's required. Anyway, here are a few brain nuggets to ponder and/or laugh at.

• Yesterday, overheard a co-worker say to another co-worker "I have a blog now, how do I get people to see it?" (what a question!). Come to find out she also blogs "random stuff". I'm glad there is enough random stuff to go around.
• Heard a comment on the news this morning that the current economic snafu is just part of the seven year cycle of economic ups and downs. What was happening seven years ago? 9/11 and the instability of the aftermath. Makes you wonder.....
• G. Gordon Liddy had a excellent tribute to 9/11. I suggest finding it if you can. I will never forget standing there getting ready for work and watching the second plane and knowing things would never be the same. Let's hope we never forget.
• I actually had an "discussion" with a fellow office dweller when he had said that we need to "take from the rich and give to the poor". This whole "Robin Hood" mentality is getting out of control. Here's a point to ponder: What happens to the level of charitable funds being spent by Bill Gates, self-made gazillionaire, is forced to pay more taxes to support lazy welfare leeches? I wouldn't be so generous.
• In the same "discussion", the race card was pulled. Does anyone know how many of them are out there and where to get them, because as much as they are being and going to be used, they are going to be wearing out and need replaced. Maybe someone can make some money, but then they would just have to give it away. Gotta love socialism comrade.

Anyway, there should be enough there for some entertainment to hold you over. I am going to try and keep things going, there's going to be plenty to talk about in this election season. Later Days!

RNC organizers aggressively go green

Looks like Republicans are also taking steps to help the planet as well. It was nice to see, since all we in Colorado have been hearing about is Obamarama, and how "green" they claim to be, like claiming power for the convention will be supplied by a broken wind turban in Wray, and moving from the pepsi center to the huge investco field, or buying carbon credits to offset travel from their cronies.
