joelle - This too shall pass. We survived 8 years of the Father of the Homeless and 4 years of Daddy of Dubya. We'll survive the shrub. In 2 years, the dems will take back the congress and in 2 more, we can dump Dubya. Until then, it's important that we laugh at him.

Joelle: Preposterous: <<a sick pissed off bitch>> You aren't sick. You're normal. And realistic. As a woman faced with survival sans the bullshit illusions that a "rescuing Prince Charming" makes life grand. Men are finding life ain't so grand, either, suffering under ridiculous religious right ideologies that form the fabric of this society ... right, John? Little Bushie wishes to make lives like ours even harder. He's sexist, racist and homophobic. Yeah, I got rage. Lots of it. For same reasons as you, Joelle. I'll never understand the Republican ideology as embraced by middle/lower income residents of this country as long as I live ... convinced of it. And the fu*ker stole the election. And evidently, the votes will never be counted. Best, 'b-i-a' ###

stay lean and hungry so you can focus on your goals. but never stay angry or bitter, it clouds your thinking and robs your health.

Hello Ylang Ylang, Well I get p!ssed about things too.. I get p!ssed about the soft white middle to upper part of our society taking all their benies for granted, Like everytime they got to take a p!ss on company time, a vacation, get health care,, they figure they deserve it.. But they Don't because they didn't earn it.. but their liberal fathers, mothers, grandmothers did, they fought the system and won those things. They wern't handed out through the good will of their employers.. .. I get p!ssed because some person working as a temporary in a hospital, packing a p!ss pot for some fat matron having something done that really isn't needed, but her health care is paid to the hilt, and the poor pot packer with rotting teeth has none,, Or when some mother, with small children, can not afford adequate child care, or barely get maternity leave.. Or when Maxim, that company from Texas, buys Pacific Lumber and wants to rape the last good stand of Redwoods on the Coast.. Or the USFS wants to sell virgin timber stumpage in the Tsongas National Forest in Alaska for a 1.50 a thousand so some Corporation can re sell it to Japan. for 50 times a much. Or when Dick and George, the Military Oil Complex,, will open up the Arctic National Wildlife refuge for drilling. Or when .. I could go on and on.. But we are going to go laugh and drink and dance with our aging hippie friends,,on a "fear and loathing" loosey, goosey trip through the Reno Hilton for the weekend... We gamble just enough to get comped once a year in their slack time... Haaa...decadent. So I will end this... But I just remembered..I wish.. there were some good hard hitting writers out there, like Jack London or even like Henry Miller that wern't afraid to take solid shots.... Now days.. So hang in there.. coug
