The Itch to Hitch

Happy Summer Solstice! And Merry Christmas while I'm at it because that's how fast tempus is fugiting.

It's Day #14 of my Hillary withdrawal. For at least seventeen months, I saw her every day, knew where she was going, who she was having dinner with -- now nothing. It feels like a sad, if amicable, breakup. Now we have to start seeing other people. Sigh.

Perhaps the biggest shock upon coming out of the Democratic primary bubble is to realize that I had been lulled into thinking that everybody was now trying to work in an adult, democratic, progressive, civic manner. Silly me.

Out in the unreal world of Bushland, George and John McBush, his mini-me, want to drill their bits into ever inch of Mother Earth. They are squeezing the last little bit of speculative oil out before His Category 43ness leaves. They are back to photo-oping on broken levees. They are ignoring Iraq's ungrateful but fond wish for us to leave, now that it's going so well. ['For whom?' being the unasked question.] They are spreading manure lies about Barrack HUSSEIN Obama's religious beliefs. They are going after Michele Obama who is resisting their demands for an extreme makeover.

In short, they got nuthin' but fear and hate, their two favorite cards.

Happily, I've been following a different Haight. Despite the flagrant flaunting and taunting from CA friends, "Sooooo, when are you two getting married?" my gal pal and I recently reconfirmed our own vows not to marry. We do however, vigorously support the freedom of others to marry.

While we don't have the itch to hitch, we can't get enough of our friend's lovely stories of all the weddings in CA. With gas at $4.65 a gallon in LA, I encourage newlyweds to locate their bridal registries at the local gas station.

And na na na na na na, back at you CA -- one word: Celtics. And so much for that illusion of grownup behavior.

Our Empirical State is making progress. When Governor David Paterson issued an executive order that NYS must recognize out-of-state marriages, he spoke lovingly of the early influence of his two gay uncles, Stanley and Rodney. Rev. Al Sharpton teased him that he might have unwittingly outed them. Patterson said he was only disappointed that Rosie O'Donnell hadn't called him. With any luck, Paul Rudnick is already writing a sequel -- In and Out, Part II. I'm working on Same Sex in the City.

Happy Summer of Love! What do you want for Christmas, besides a First Lady Obama?

oh and Oil?

Cramer is full of crap.
(1) Corn Ethenol uses exactly 5% of corn feed typ of corn. period.
(2) Hemp (as in rope) makes good celulosic, so do corn stauks I think.

HOARDING
1) Morgan Stanley is now the largest holder of oil in New England and not selling.
2) Companies only drilling in about 13MIllion of the 68Million acres they have off shore and on.
3) 55Million is about to be subject to Use it or Lose it. Go Go Go.

Refineries:
1) 50 Refineries have been taken off line since GWB
2) 250 since Reagan slept every afternoon

Tax Cuts:
1) Tax Cuts are going into buying Oil Futures, and copper, steel, molly, gold, silver, coaking coal etc.
(2) These Speculators are like having 30 Middle Men between the Well and the Pump.

Israel's been using Solar to heat water in homes for 50 years. Imagine where we'd be if Reagan
hadn't removed the Solar Cells from the White House roof.

I am sick of hearing that the Republicans are better in National Security.
Nothing MORE FICTICIOUS THAN THAT!
Would be happy to write that Trestise, with better spelling.

Loved the piece. Feel simillarly if I may be presumptuous.

Wish I'd known degree of involvement. Her web site needed bullet points...She having achieved more compatiton supporters had it easier with talking the points.

Some say marriage destroys relationships. Regardless, I cried reading of Dell and Phillis.
What a strory, 66 year old daughter and all.

Elenor Rosevelt's story is being replayed again Couldn't help but think of the Hll,
and sure do hope she'll try again. My Mother says maybe we didn't deserve her.

Mass Drugging is so ideotic.
FCC is yet another agency we Americans pay to protect our interests.

Cascade part of the Russert Cascades of Erroneousness moved from my impressions into history..
=Judy Woodroof when on CNN said "now Florida has counted all the votes"
=Doris KG should stick to history
=Mrs. Greenspan said: "He made us look like we're better than we are"

Saw Michelle speak in a Jackets for a change. Tank toppy on Larry King must have been chilly.
Some Europeans are already free associating Jackie.
My PR friend says Image is everything. I disagreed saying Product is and that she of all people
should know better.

But who am I. And I think young women are looking like hookers these days...
and wonder why in the hell why.

Reporters must be fed shrimp.

Hope Bill is Ok!
