He can't do it alone

He's not gone yet!

At least I live in a blue county

I remember looking at this map in 2004 and the only blue in Texas other than "the (Rio Grande) valley" was Travis County where Austin is located. I'm told that this is the first time Harris County has gone to the Democratic presidential candidate since LBJ (that was 1964, for those of you who are too young to remember). I see that Dallas County is blue, too. Hope springs eternal! I am also especially happy to see that Florida and Ohio went for Obama....little consolation for the debacles there in 2000 and 2004, but a moral victory knowing that all the votes were counted this time around.

100 more days

Gosh, when I posted a hundred days ago, I couldn't imagine that things could get any worse. Boy was I wrong! There may only be 100 more days of the "current occupant" but the results of his failed policies are going to be with us all for a long time.

Are YOU registered to vote?

My daughter, Kate, posted this on her blog and I was just going to post a link, but it is so good that I decided to post it myself. Watch it all the way through...it's great!

200 days, but who's counting?

I AM!!! I haven't gotten political here for a while, but sometimes I just can't help myself. Let's see...we're in an unwinnable war in Iraq, things are heating up in Afghanistan (where we never finished what we started), the Dow in is a bear market, global warming (the existence of which the current occupant denied until about a year ago) is wreaking havoc on the weather, gas is over $4 a gallon, the dollar is at an all time low against the euro, the national debt is $9 TRILLION, there is a major drug war taking place just across our border. Could this country be in any worse shape? How can people continue to defend this man?

(Sorry about the run-on sentence...I tend to rant about this subject, just ask my husband.)
