Yay! Didn't have to go back

So I've been spending the day working on MILs afghan. My hands are tired of knitting so I'm going to type for a while.
I am finally getting excited about Christmas. It's nice to finish some projects and be able to relax. DH wants to go to Borders tonight. They're having some wingding, 50% off or somesuch. May be able to score some little Christmas presents. Last on my list of things to do this week will be to get some stuff in the mail by Friday so we won't have to lug it up to Alabama. Then it's off to the Dolphins game Sat.
I sent an email to the Boortz show this am. He has expressed on several occasions that he thinks people should give up this Obama birth certificate thing. I kinda disagree until I think about it.
Here's what I wrote:
Dear Mr. Boortz,I'm puzzled by your stance (and others) on the Obama birth certificate controversy. I've listened to you for many years now and have heard you say on many occasions that we are a nation of laws. If the document considered to be the supreme law of the land has stipulations as to who may become president then shouldn't all the candidates, prior to making their run, submit the required documentation? If Mr. Obama had done this a year ago there would be no controversy, no lawsuits. But he has not. Why? That is at the heart of the problem. I for one am sick of hearing about this personally but I have to wonder why the cloak of secrecy or what appears to be a tacit refusal to produce the document? I remember when Schwarzenegger became governor of California some were saying it was a pity he couldn't run for president because he was not a natural born citizen so obviously the requirement is well-known. Furthermore, didn't Mr. Obama disqualify his opponents during his first foray in to politics by sending his campaign workers to find problems or reasons why his opponents couldn't run for that office? He has set a precedent for disqualification based on legal criteria but the same doesn't apply to him? I think the matter of his birth should have been resolved months ago. The fact that he has not been forthcoming and has let deadlines pass to submit the information doesn't pass the smell test. What it does smack of is a man that will thumb his nose at a document that is at the very core of the founding of this country. That speaks volumes about his integrity.
I don't expect a reply but there is a profound problem with a candidate that either can not or will not answer a simple question. More change we can believe it?

Jury Duty

A pretty big bore actually. But on the bright side they let our group go about 11:30 for the day. I have to call that number and see about tomorrow. I'll probably take my laptop with me so I can at least check news and schtuff.
I HOPE I'll finish MILs afghan tonight. I'm getting so close I'd probably be done with it if I'd just sit down and hit a lick.
Barack Obama is a dangerous man. No doubt about it. I think with his choices for cabinet positions libturds should be asking if this is the same person they voted for. He has proven to be duplicitous in the past. Why wouldn't he continue on that path? As for those of us who really asked the tough questions prior to the election and found his responses or rather the complete blackout of any answers to be disturbing we know what he is. He was on a Sunday talking head show with more of his spread the wealth rhetoric. You want to know why the economy is tanking it's because of Democrat social engineering in the economy. With no small help from worthless, spineless Republicans who went along with it just to be 'nice'. Screw that. It's hurting all of us you morons. So much for being nice. The economy is going to continue to tank until the private sector figures out if Obummer is going to make good on his threats to unleash the unions on business, increase taxes and the like. If that happens we'll be in a depression.
There's your change.

Finished

The sock I mean. And I'm in a good position to finish MILs project by Wednesday. Can I start enjoying the holidays then? Please?

I wonder this an awful lot. Do we have the right to not be embarrassed, sad, or get our feelings hurt? I say no. This last election was a great example of how things get when libturds are in power. I had as my Ravatar a picture of Obummer with his hand up in what would appear to be the NAZI salute. Another member emailed me that this was offensive since she was Jewish. A closer look showed she was a member of some lefty groups including an Obama group. So what did I do initially? I caved. I don't want to OFFEND anyone. Then I got to thinking. (this is why you shouldn't make decisions after having a beer anyway). I quickly found out that avatars can be hidden and this is what she should have done instead of asking me to change mine. What balls. But here's the important thing. This is so typical of liberal behavior and I can't believe I fell for it. How many times over the years have we had to look at images, art if you will, paid for by taxpayer dollars, that is offensive? When the 'artiste' is questioned they always say the same thing--it's freedom of expression, it's meant to be controversial/thought-provoking or something along those lines. In other words, a big middle finger to those of us who are offended and we just have to suck it up. But now the shoe is on the other foot. For eight long years I've seen and read the most despicable things about GWB. Things that earlier in the 20th century would have had the artist or writer hauled up on some kind of charges. But now anything goes as long as the target is conservative. When I think back on all the trumped up charges, lies, faked documents, etc that were meant to embarrass or outright humiliate this president I cringe. Well screw you libturds. I've got four years at least to exact eight years of pent up rage and Obummber is a perfect target. I don't and didn't agree with GWB on so many things but one thing he did realize and take care of was this nation's defense. He is responsible for keeping us safe for 8 years. I doubt if that unqualified boob or his shrew wife are going to be able to pull that off.

But back to my original question of a right to be 'unoffended' all the time. Obviously we don't and my suggestion to libturds is to grow some thick skin like we conservatives have had to do. Otherwise keep your crying towel handy. You're gonna need it.

That darn sock

If I counted rows correctly, I have 56 total from the end of the gusset to the start of the toe decreases. I'm on row 30 now. I believe I'll finish but as usual there are flies in the ointment. First I haven't hit a lick on MILs lap afghan since we got back. I have to start working on that tonight. Two, I have to report for jury duty on Monday at 8 am. They do not allow 'handwork' needles. Damn. If the freaking TSA allows them, why doesn't a court room WITH armed deputies? The logic of government continues to amaze me. Pray I don't get stuck in there all day Monday and have to keep reporting back. Hopefully they will give us a questionaire and something I say on it will knock me out. Let's see...I am conservative so that should be a big negative, I'm reasonably well-educated--strike two' I listen to talk radio--strike three, pro gun ownership, anti illegal immigration. Gosh I have a smorgasbord on my resume of things that should eliminate me. Writing this blog probably is going to get me too if they ask.
And did I mention (I know I did) I have to report at 8am. UGH.
Here's another thing. As unlikely as it may seem now, if I do get seated on a jury trial that could go on for weeks I will miss my flights for Christmas. Wonder what the policy is on that?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

THIS is what I've been talking about since Obummer got elected. Sooner or later the twits in the MSM and his dumbass followers are going to have to realize Islamic terrorism is not about who our president is or our policies. Beautiful. And on CNN too.

The heel is turned...gusset DONE

Chugging along, gosh I hope to be to the toes by Monday. I've also decided to do one ornament for my Aunt. I just don't see how I can do three, finish MILs afghan, and possibly start on mom's Fuzzy Feet by Christmas. So there ya go. I would not have been able to make any money as a knitting back in the day. Got to admire those people that could knock out sweaters in less than a week, socks in a day or so.
So Chambliss pulled it off in Georgia. Good but again, it should never have been that close. Actually if memory serves the only reason they had a runoff is because he didn't get a majority of the vote. Wait a minute...that's the new test? If there are more than two candidates there won't be a majority. Where did that stupid rule come from. Oh...let me guess.....
Franken(stein)'s still trying to steal MN. What a tool. How do they keep finding votes for him while simultaneously removing from Coleman? I did see on Drudge that some he did lose some votes. Good. Unfunny moron needs to just go away. Notice the difference in how Republicans handle things. They just concede and move on. Dummycraps trot out the lawyers and demand the courts step in. Tools.
Our founding fathers continue to weep in their graves. Earlier this week the new visitor center opened in DC (much to the delight of Dingy Harry Reid's sensitive nose). This taxpayer funded boondoggle cost about 150 mil more than it was supposed to cost. The bill was something like $261 mil. That's government for you. And these are the people many in this country want to see in charge of health care. But anyway, one important thing was left out. Something so important that it was the WHOLE FREAKING REASON this country was settled in the first place. Religion. No mention whatsoever of God. NONE. But I expect nothing less from this godless bunch of idiots that are in DC...our leaders. OBummer even skipped church to go to the gym. Shows where his priorities are. As much as I'm trying to keep my chin up, I really feel this country has jumped the shark. I never thought in my lifetime I would consider moving to another part of the globe but where? Too sad.

Oh good grief....

Well...at least I got the heel turned and stitches picked up. Not a very productive day and tomorrow doesn't bode well either. I have got to get my decorations up which means I have to clean first. Ugh.
The DH has been keeping me posted on the latest goings on with the Office of the President-Elect. (how pompous is that?). There was some stuff on the newswires about a $30,000 ring His Highness was going to give the First Whateveryouwanttocallher as a thank you for her support. I thought spouses were supposed to support each other anyway but that's another topic. What makes this interesting is the timing and type of gift. First let's be clear on this. I don't give a rat's ass what people do with their money--that goes for number of houses, cars, or whatever. As long as they didn't steal it I don't care. What does strike me about this is here's a guy whose made giving back a linchpin of his campaign. Spread the wealth and all that rot. So he goes out and buys the missus a ring worth more than many make in a year made of materials from another country. Not something made here in the US mind you but something made from materials found only in South Africa. More proof that this guy is so bloody arrogant. Marie Antoinette had nothing on this unqualified tool. If he wants to buy whatever for that shrew of a wife that's his business but for this to get out in the news is such a slap in the face to all those 'middle America' people he sucked up to in order to get elected. You know, those Main Street folks that are losing their jobs as a direct result of the Dhimmicrap Congress and the social welfare programs they forced on the mortgage industry. And yes there is a direct link because all segments in the economy are intertwined. But that's a digression...Back to the main point.
Now I understand his official spokestools are saying he hasn't bought it, that it's a rumor, blah blah blah. I smell damage control. These nouveau riche twits know they've stepped on it and now their sychophants are stepping up to protect him. Not.Buying.It. It's going to be a delicious couple of years watching this incompetent fool try to govern. He couldn't govern his way out of a paper bag. There's your change.
Good news though, Chamblis may pull out a win in Georgia and things aren't looking good for Franken's attempt to steal MN. None of these races should be that tight tho. We need to clean house in the GOP. Get rid of these useless old fogeys like Lindsey Graham (SC) and get some more aggressive, true conservatives in there. I heard an interview between the above and Claire McCaskill and I swear I think I heard him say 'Ah disahgree with mah wuthy ahponent' on some point. What century does he reside in????? I'm a southern gal through and through but this freakin' Colonel Sanders routine makes my skin crawl. No wonder liberals have made such giant strides in the south. I'm willing to bet that if you put what the GOP stands for side by side with the Dems on a sheet of paper without listing them as such and asked any number of people to read through and check which they believe in they'd pick the GOP points. But somewhere along the line they get turned off by the people we have in leadership. Give 'em the boot or our party is toast.
