Domestic Bliss
Posting was not possible this weekend because of family responsibilities. Tomorrow is a new day, with plenty of breathtakingly obnoxious stuff to post. More outrage at work! Outrageous! More liberal heads to explode.
I like to make liberals a little uncomfortable. Especially at dinner parties when I am outnumbered, and family events. It really doesn't take much to make them squirm. A little "Go Palin", a little "Obama is a zero", a dash of "Bush is a great man", and voila! Seethe, fret, grrrrr....
One time I was at a family function, and a dear relative was telling me how he had been in Africa, travelling and how the kids-the CHILDREN, were running up to him for a few coins, for a stalk of corn-anything. How we in the West take so much for granted, and they have so little, boo hoo. I listened for a few minutes and then said "gee 'H', that is so very moving-especially coming after your second trip to the sweet table.
What is with this poverty tourism crap? I think it's pretty sick to take tours of the most impoverished places on earth. But, maybe that's just me.
More tomorrow.
