Even More Whining About the Weather et al

Here is some more whining about the dreary winter and the cold air and the icy slush on the streets and the crows that come into town every night and scream in the trees and shit all over everything. We have had worse winters, but like the one last season this one has gotten dreary and irritating after three months, and we have two more months to go before April gets here, and in place of nice spring we may have a long stretch of rain before wonderful warm summer, which may arrive in August. Whine, whine, whine! Everyone in my social universe has had colds and is as grouchy as I am. We are all poor souls. The quest for the presidency is going on and on. Right now everything is concerning hrh and bama yelling at each other about which one is more of a crook; he has dealings with a Chicago slum lord and she is on the board of Walmart and he is hooked up with a black militant preacher in Chi, and she has Bill hanging around and yelling at reporters. Some of the longtime feminists are mad at bama for trying to stall her from being a shoein as president. And Fred Thompson dropped out of the race. W and congress are working on a plan to rebate about 600 bucks to taxpayers to fire up the economy. In the 70s Ford gave us all a rebate. If I remember--the deal was to spend the rebate on stereos and housewares. Interesting that just a few years later stereos went away when cds came in. The political news recently has pushed Iraq and world news to the side. McCain is suddenly on a roll, and from reading some websites with comments sections Ron Paul has a small but vocal core of devotees. Movie actor Heath Ledger drugged himself to death a few days ago. I had heard of him but never paid any attention to his existence, but he seems to had had a lot of fans. In personal news I am reading a Kevin Phillips book on President McKinley, and Rousseau's Confessions, and am going to watch a dvd of Little Miss Sunshine sometime this weekend. It is now 2 a.m. and I am going to conclude this blog entry. All of you take care, and I may be back tomorrow night or Sunday for another session. It is time to go to some late in the darkness website searching. Stay warm, fans. Di di mau!
