Aunt Elizabeth Wants You!
SAVE OUR COUNTRY! SAVE MY FUTURE! IMPEACH BUSHY NOW!
After five years in cahoots with the oil cartels, including the Saudis, the Qataris, the UAEians, Exxon, Conoco, and Chevron, during which time they've quadrupled the price of gas, Price George has come out of his bubble to tell us the Chinese drive cars now and the era of cheap gas is over. but not to worry, hydrogen will save the day. are we really to take this jerkoff seriously? he must know something we don't know; americans are, generally speaking, apathetic imbeciles.
what, no american idol tonite? damn? guess i'll have to download some new ring tones for my cell phone.

Georgie appears to be bloodied and on the ropes. Only another terrorist attack can save his ass now, and even that will be a stretch. Let us continue to take him and his ilk to task on all evasions, prevarications and lies. Letters to the editor, letters to Congress people, and a constant hounding of friends and neighbors who still lean right are essential. The only downside is that even if we can get rid of W and pals, the best we'll get is a Democrat, and to tell you the truth I don't see a single one out there with a spine. But I guess I shouldn't complain.
I think I will go down to the local McD's and sit in line for a cup of coffee at the take-out window. Damn those high gas prices!
Jim's right.I was mellow as a meadowlark, but Marg's poem and Bill's rant set me off.
that's cool; let's enjoy this beautiful spring weather. no problem at all wit dat. i've been livin in the moment as long as i can remember.
today we played in elizabeth's new sand box (the beach, as she calls it). we visited neighbors (on foot). we rode our bikes around town with elizabeth on the back screaming "yippee!" on the downhills. we trimmed the hedge and watered the pansies and read some lewis latham in the shade of our old maple.
but we're lucky (in so many ways). we didn't have to start the car today. but andy rawlins did. he lives in syracuse. works in watertown. at the wal mart. makes 7 bucks an hour. has a college degree from suny binghamton. is a management trainee. 48 miles each way. drives an older civic. gets about 32 mpg on the highway. works 50 hours a week. 6 months ago he worked about 10 hrs. a week to keep gas in his car. now he works almost 15. by the end of the summer, while the fat cats loll around on walker's point and fly fish the madison in central montana, andy will be using one-third or more of his weekly pay check just to get to and from.
