Obama Supports Merkley

Here is an ad Obama made for Jeff

It's Hard to Rant Today :-)

It's also hard to not smirk, smile with glee or jump for joy!

[I will contain myself and keep plugging away for Dems until Nov 4th!]

Why can I not rant ?

All those R's coming out to say they support Obama! [See http://www.conservativesforchange.com/]

All those R's who are moving down in the polls against D's.

All those R's acting like rats leaving the proverbial skinkign hisp and sendin out heri resumes!

All those R's seeing thier "emire" crumbl beofre them!

I'll repeat Ozymandias here [from a May post] as it is SO SO fitting today!

Here is Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

And among the last lines of Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss

And his burp shook the Throne of the King!

We Dems have burped - and we Dems have shook the throne of mad king george and all the R's.

I wish them a hasty departure from Washington and I hope they never return except for trials!

Why Bloggers Rock!

Up in Washington, Darcy Burner is running against an incumbent R - [ I won't give him any name recognition here.]

The local "news" paper came out screaming that Darcy lied about her Harvard degree.  She didn't [Harvard has oddities no other college has] and this was most likely a faux noise/R campaign to discredit her.


But - as I've said before - I'm a psychologist and when R's start saying "someone did that" - it usually means they are projecting their own whatever onto someone else.


Well in this case - the R DOES NOT have the degree he said he had - and he quickly re-did his congressional page [oops]


So the R was caught in his own projection!!!
