Johnny and Ms Thang Cindy have more houses than I have pairs of shoes.
I think that just about sums up reality.
(Check out the photo on my avatar...look at Ms Thang's turkey neck! Girl, you had better start using LA plastic surgeons....those Scottsdale quacks are not doing you any good!!!)
Oh Mary it takes a fairy...

This whole Hillary kerfuffle (I love that word) perpetrated by our wonderful and subservient media is ridiculous enough, but even more so by their not reporting on what is hidden underneath. If the Clintons, for some bizarre reason only known to the solons of traditional media, decide to screw up Obama's campaign for the Prez, they would become the Zell Miller/Joe Lieberman couple of the Democratic Party (or maybe a better pair as an example would be Leopold/Loeb). They would be despised, spit on, castigated out and lose nearly all voter and financial support, and I would doubt very much if Hillary could ever retain her NY Senate seat after doing so. And I also doubt if the Republican Party who welcome Miller and Lieberman with open arms would do the same for the Clintons, after basically trying to have them burned at the stake like Galileo for over 2 decades. So where would they go or better yet, where would they hide, because I know a lot of people would never even allow them to walk down their streets? But what I find absolutely hilarious is the media's total cluelessness in not being able to recognize the box that McCain has put himself into. He wants to try to appeal to the Hillary people who are supposedly pissed at Obama for passing her over as VP, and also the Dems for not giving her the nomination. But if Hillary goes after McCain tooth and nail the way she will have to to prove herself to the Democratic Party in order to keep their support and her political career, how can McCain fight back against her volleys without losing any support from HER supporters and any indies who may have supported her? Any first-year journalism student would bring this up in a political discussion, but I guess that leaves the current crop of TV and newprint journies totally out of the loop, since they don't even seem to have that much sense.
Any time you see a Talking Head on TV, just remember you're looking at a very rich person who wants to save their tax breaks.
The few who give an objective view are actually very selfless, because they're telling the truth against their own self-interest.
All the fluff stories about the Olympic athletes' personal lives gets a bit old. But if you're going to go on and on and on about the het athletes' lives, do the same for the gay athletes. You could've help dispel the archaic notion that homosexuality is only about having sex.

- The weather continues to be pretty much what it was when
you left - high in the mid 80's and finally a chance for some rain.
- The start of the school year in the major school districts like
Montgomery and PG have caused a major (but expected) shift
in traffic. Is it that the assholes just take August off, or do they
suddenly shift into asshole mode when the schoolbuses hit
the road? Did I mention that the drivers around here are assholes?
- Political news - we got nuthin'. All eyes are on Denver.
Back to you, Joe.
Personally and amongst my intelligent friends, we are afraid to get excited about an Obama victory because we can't take another Kerry or Gore letdown. Things "feel" good for us but the polls are saying it's close. We smell rats and we have come to believe in rats. We say, "nah, there's no WAY McCain can win". And then, we remember that this is the country that put W in office TWICE. We are afraid.
