It's been awhile

Seems to be the topic of most of my last posts here.... But it has. I've been distracted. With summer mostly. Summer is the most calming and blissful season of my life. I try not to spend a moment fretting about anything, outside of how I'm going to find time to read in my hammock today.

Aah but here goes it, politics has penetrated its' way into the cracks of my delirium once again. And the summer winds down. I spent the week bringing my children home from school for Obama's speech to them, since their superintendent avoided adult responsibility and waited till Friday evening to decide to "leave it to the teachers" whether or not to air the speech, but only with parental permission, before school started Tuesday...

(Another post entirely.)

And then defending the health care overhaul has been a full time job in itself. I refuse to spend any extent of time on how insane I think this country has turned- I can only hope it is a minority and includes the vocal crazies around here- it's not just depressing, it's scary to think what I hear everyday is anything close to a majority. I was involved in the FACT based outrage that was post 9/11 and the war on Iraq, the death of thousands of our brave young troops and the rest of the desecration of the position of President of the United States that was G.W.Bush, and while that has turned the crazy right into a raging hypocrisy, I was never so afraid of crazy people actually harming the President as I am right now.

Because in this case the angry people are being fueled by Glen Beck, who laughed about assassinating Nancy Pelosi, and Rush Limbaugh, who... well... is Rush Limbaugh. I've seen more blatant lie and subtle misinformation based disrespect for President Obama than I ever saw in my days of working in the Far Left, Bush Years.

I'm done going on and on. An example. I hear this kind of crap actually coming out of people's mouths and see it in editorials (just better grammar) every day here.

Other questions he's still waiting to find out the answers to, in case you thought you might feel the need to reach out:

• Do dark faded black jeans look good with all black chuck taylors and a tight T
  shirt ?
• Why are my questions so random?
• My girlfriend is straight dancer at a lesbian bar and i have a thing that bothers
  me.?

• Can you tell me about legal drugs that ARE NOT on my list?
  

I'm Serious. These people own guns. Somehow. Scariest thing? They are immune to reason.

I spend so much time fending off yelling fits from the above type people that I have yet to have an intelligent conversation about health care reform. I'm open to reason, I promise. I just want to hear some.
