telling
One good thing about the new neighborhood is that everyone LOVES Obama. And Hillary hatred is rampant. What's not to love about that?
Wait, you don't find her adorable and capable? I better find something nice to say, -- wow -- it's an hour later and I can't finish the post.
Okay, Hillary's pantsuit is very smart. But only a monster would want this lady to answer the phone at 3 AM. Unless the caller was an even scarier monster. Hard to imagine. The mind reels.
I love the lipstick smeared on the teeth. You'll see Mary Kate, Britney and Lindsey Lohan running around with this exact look in a few days. Hmmm...
So I'm biased. Those Clintonian lipstick teeth are just a personal favorite "campaign trail" trend of mine -- you may leave your own favorites in the comments.
But back to the hood....I take it one issue at a time. For example tonight someone said, "McCain is beating them both! Who will pay for the war?" Mr. Rogers could beat either of them and he's been dead since before the Iraq war began.
Knowing my audience, I said, "China is paying, we're paying interest. I don't love McCain, but what's the big difference between John McCain and Obama?" Then I changed into my "inside the house" sweater. And changed my shoes.
Again I got, "but who's paying for this war?"
So I asked, "what are Obama's plans for that?" Yes, I used my inside voice.
{crickets}
then...
{children and grand children of crickets emerged}
Full disclosure: I really don't love McCain, also don't love Obama. Either way and I'm fine. Anyone but a Clinton and I'm happy as a clam in a smart pantsuit. Though if I had Hillary's money, I'd buy some cool pantsuits, something with style. Perhaps something that would hide my cankles. You know, to be fair.
As I walked out of a certain local establishment, someone was complaining about the price of gas. Had to turn around and say -- I can't wait until people see gas for $5 a gallon and think, "why so cheap?".
I left it at that. There's no way I can compensate for other's stupidity. Surely the magic trolley came around to help deliver them to reality.
When gas is 6 bucks a gallon, people in Los Angeles will realize they can find a job nearby, or walk two blocks to the restaurant for dinner, which already (as in, now) costs 20 bucks more because all our grain fields are being converted to corn deemed for ethanol. Useless to us. Trust me -- I used to be a scientist.
I don't give a shit about "Mother Gaia" but I walk all the fucking time. Obviously there is something wrong with me. I own two cars. One a sweet 1980's era six cylinder Porsche gas guzzler and gross polluter. She'd love to be driven more...and I'd love to drive her more. But it's easier to walk living in a city.
With higher gas prices we can expect -- well, life will change. We will drill in North Dakota and Ala$ka, happily. Liberals will forget about all the bunnies, drowning polar bears (who remarkably, are excellent swimmers) and whatever animal is on the PETA and the Sierra Club's hot list. Folks will drive less, and we will be able to afford to buy food again. Gas for cars, and nuclear power for our homes. Trust me, I'm the grand-daughter of a coal miner.
Mark my words. 5 year guarantee on that -- no payout, just me being smug. If we don't go back to our roots, we'll be paying 5 bucks per hothouse tomato. In two years.

I've never found her to be an attractive woman. Matter of fact, she and Monica stood before me, I'd definitely pick Monica. (I'm with ya on this one Bill). She looks like she's aged about 20 years in the past couple of months.
As for gas, the Europeans and their Socialist Guhments have been paying 5 to 7 dollars for petrol for the past 20 years. We should consider ourselves lucky.
