Tomorrow

I never saw Annie, but the song Tomorrow just popped into my head and I think it's from that musical?

Anyway - TOMORROW - in Washington, D.C. a brand new congress will be sworn in and it's the first time since I moved West that I wish I lived a lot closer so I could be there. Maybe I'm a bit nostalgic as I was sorting through some old papers and found my Metro pass from the day of Clinton's 1st inauguration! Still has $2.50 left on it - I kept it as a souvenir...I recall having a big party that year as well to celebrate taking back the country from the shrub family....

So instead of being in D.C. right now, I'll savor the victory from Oregon and plan a visit and party for January 2009!

No rants today - only a mazel tov to us the electorate and to the new majority in both houses...and hopes that they can act like Spitzer did today...now there was a 1st day agenda!!!!!

Another sad "number"

Today the 3000th of our children died in Iraq. The news clips say that shrub is mourning this death but from what I read he also added that there is no quick end to the war on terror.

I never could understand how anyone can have a "war" on a concept....Wars require specific enemies - not words or actions....

But it's 3000 of our children who have died over there and how many more Iraqi children have died? For what? And why do more have to die?

I hope the new Congress comes in and stops this insanity.

Peace and a saner New Year

War is over if you want it

I cried all thru this video - send it on to your Congresspeople

War can be over! that's what we just voted for....

Say NO NO NO to any "surges"

If the admin wants more troops - let's send the twins and other hawk's kids -

Orange Ads

I've replaced the ubiquitous google ads with Orange Ads. These are ads run by people, like me, who belong to Network Marketing Central. You can look at our ads, ask us questions, or even buy and we won't pester you! That's our promise. If you click on the Network Central logo - you go to my page there. If you click on any of the ads - you will go to that person's page.

Try it - you may even find new friends - I did : - )

And didn't the shrub just tell us to go shopping ....grrrrrrr

Iraq

I admit there is no good solution to this mess - so if there is no solution, why does anyone think sending in more troops is a solution?

Having been against this stupidity before it started, at least back then "they" should have listened to Shinseki when he said it would take many many troops. He was right - then. But will more help now? I doubt it. Just means more of our children will die and I will keep crying...and my son is safely out of the military. But I cried all during the Vietnam mess and at that time I was not a mother - I think most women understand the loss of all children in a different way than do men....

If women were in positions of power around the world, would we have these senseless armed conflicts? I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to say let's try - the men have made a big mess of the world....so let's let the women attempt to fix it...at least here we'll have a start on this with Nancy Pelosi....

Some military persons have been calling for a change to the deployment "rules" so that troops [read children] can be deployed more frequently - hmmm - because they volunteered ? Nonsense - they did not volunteer for an illegal occupation of a country that had not harmed us. I say if "they" want more troops, there are many young conservative adults out there who ought to put their bodies where their mouths are and go join the military.
