Obummer pauses as he talks about the assassination of Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto as he begins a campaign rally Thursday, Dec. 27th, 2007 in Des Moines, IA.
I have two problems with this Hillarity PR stunt. First, if she plans to demand anything she should do so in her official capacity as a Senator, not in the public eye as if she speaks for the U.S.
Second - It is NONE of our business. One of the reasons this area of the world is in such a mess is that we are trying to run it for them and we don’t have a clue about how to do it.
My only concern is their ability to use nuclear weapons, otherwise they can all bomb each other back into the stone age for all I care. At this rate they haven’t all that far to go anyway! All we do by constantly poking our nose into their business is to invite retaliation for their problems.
Well here we are at the end of another year again. Sheesh even. I have decided to make some more major changes to how I structure the Blog starting with the new year. I hope it won’t cause any problems and there shouldn’t be many differences to how it looks, just in the background as to how I keep track of everything. So just let me know if some menus don’t work or whatever.
It must be a sign of advancing age that I don’t really get too excited about the beginning of a new year like I once used to. For one thing I don’t drink so I don’t really need the excuse to party, not that I ever needed the excuse but it was fun to have company.
In fact for a few years I used to think of it as Amateur Night when it came to drinking and now that I look back on it that wasn’t anything to be proud of either. That’s not to say there aren’t responsible people my age or older who still bring in the year with a hangover — I’m just saying I know MY limitations.
Now I see the coming of another year as one of many reasons to be thankful I have survived this long and am still sucking air. I probably wouldn’t be breathing very well at all if I hadn’t quit smoking and whenever I drink I want to smoke, so I don’t do either. And I don’t miss smoking or drinking. Who would have thunk it?
Chances are we will be in bed before midnight so Happy New Year to all of you and please be safe!

Andy and I just got back from Kohls in E. Peoria. The snow is really pretty coming down! It’s slick out though if on Rt. 150.
This house will be just as exciting tonight....how about this for a “party”...finish laundry and have dinner and a movie. Dinner is soup and grilled cheese and the movie is Hairspray! From us to you:
