This will be a melange of things that have crept across my cortex over the past few days.
We have been up to our collective butts in the psychological and physical stresses that come with aging parents. Mary's parents had a bit of health crisis that we had to drive a two hundred mile round trip each day for three straight days to help successfully manage. Her parents combined age is 172, so it kept us busy, to say the least. Sarah Palin, the intellect of the Republican party, would be just durn glad to know there were no 'death panels' involved in all the work we did with the docs, etc. Socialized medicine, that is, Medicare, came through and all is well, at this point.
There were some things going on in the world that I did notice, I just can't remember what they are right now....
Edward Kennedy deserves gratitude for the tremendous amount of legislation he was instrumental in writing and shepherding through the Senate. I am sure the conservative noise machine (think grinding up live chickens in a blender..with due apologies to PETA) will be saying all kinds of crap about him, and his past. Yeah, well, they should also recognize all the adulterous hypocrites that litter their playing field before pointing fingers. I suppose the noise machine will say that the pious adulterers have all been processed through the 'Forgiveness Soul Wash & Tyrant Study Group' on C Street, so that doesn't count. Bottom line...Ted Kennedy helped a lot of people regardless of what the pinheads say.
The PETA Billboard: Wow...their advertising mavens are real shitheads. They have run ads in the past few months that would have you believe that being a Vegetarian will have you hooking up with skinny models who rub broccoli on their genitals, and that being a Veg will make you thin. Even my devoutly vegetarian spouse remarked that there a a lot of fat vegetarians around, to which I added that there were also a lot of vegetarians who could not get laid if their little vegetarian lives depended on it. She did agree, albeit with a remark about my irredeemably male take on it. The whole upshot of this crassly stupid billboard, was that it was just that, crass and stupid.
That is about it for today. I am still tired and need to go stretch out somewhere and snore.. loudly.
