I am back. More to come.

I am moving to a more comfortable home. You gotta love the OC to pay these silly prices.

It will be interesting to see how the congress avoids impeaching GWB for his decision to violate the privacy of you and me. Follow this link at The NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/24/politics/24spy.html?th&emc=th

The argument that this president has the ability to do what he wants because we are "at war" is simply comical.

Happy holidays to all!

The way I will vote tomorrow:

Prop 73: NO. More regulation isn't the solution.
Prop 74: NO. Teachers who suck should be termnated without regard to tenure. This proposition doesn't address the real problem.
Prop 75: YES. Unions need not take money from people for the purpose of influencing opinion. If the members want to contribute their money, let them form a PAC.
Prop 76: YES. State spending should be limited by all means available. The less money the state has, the less likely I am to be bothered by the state.
Prop 77: NO. This one is a close call. I will vote NO.
Prop 78: NO. I prefer prop 79.
Prop 79: YES. Allow the state to negotiate fees and permit the state not to do business with those who don't want to negotiate.
Pop 80: NO. Additional regulation isn't the solution.
Measure B: NO. I don't see a reason to restrict funds to only those that the county bless.
Measure C: YES. Shifting funds away from the sheriff is always good.
Measure D: YES. Same as measure 'C'.
Measure E: YES. Same reasoning as measure C.

Enjoy the election and the results.

Wow! It has been a long time since I "bled my soul" on these pages. Not to woory - I have a lot of blood to bleed. Just a little today.

Let's all give GWB an atta boi for the recent court nominations. Roberts will likely be a winner. Why? Because he will likely do the job. Will he try to write law? I think not. He will simply deal with very complex issues with the team that he has and cast his vote acordingly. The new gal seems to be OK. She is clearly not a right wing nut and I suspect she, like Roberts, will do us good.

Let's all give me an atta boi. My gal Mary and I are still together after a year and that deserves at least that.

I am good. I am making money more than I can count (I hired a bean counter). I smile more than I once did but am still not as happy as I need to be. I love life more than before (not that I hated it!).

Let's all sit on the sidelines and clap loudly as this GOP administration and this GOP congress goes down in flames in the midterm elections. Be sure to vote. Don't forget - the right wing churches are encouraging their members to vot - because God (and Rove) told them that they have to. Listen to me: YOU need to offset that whaccoism lest you find yourself sublect to am American Taliban.

Love you

Too much travel isn't good when one has a bad back.

I continue to suffer with my back. Drugs, drugs and more drugs do little to relieve the pain. More to come.
