I'm There, Maxine...

I don't know about any of the rest of you, but I am so ready to get this election d.o.n.e. It seems like the campaigning has been going on since Jesus was a boy.

Am I the only living person who remembers when campaigns were much, much shorter in duration? By the time this election is in the books, I won't even want to see the face of whichever one wins.

And it's not just the presidential elections, the local and state ones are driving me just as nuts. I get so tired of our politicians and their rivals talking about what crooks the others are and who got pay-offs from whom.

I think about 97% of them ought to be put in jail, just for general principles. Everyone of them seems to deserve some jail time according to the others, so put them all in together for a "time out" and let them think on their many sins. I don't know that it would help, but I'm just saying...

So when I saw got this Maxine opinion in an e-mail, I knew I had to share it with everyone, and this is the easiest way I know to do that. I have really enjoyed Maxine since she came into existence and we share the same ideas.

Maybe it's the old, crochety, bitchy broad in her...

Birds of a feather, you know.

I Think I Lost My Mind...

And after what I witnessed on the "debate" tonight, I'm not sure that I want it back. How can it be that 2 people who are battling for the highest post in the land can seemingly be so out of touch with the American people? And why do I, and millions of others feel like we are beating our heads against a wall trying to be heard? I have voted in every election since 1966 when I became legal to vote.

I was young, enthusiastic, and, obviously, naive. I somehow thought that even if the candidates I voted for did not win, my vote and that of others like me would be looked at by both parties as a message that even though my people may not have won, they had things that they espoused that were important to a lot of people and should be considered by our elected officials.

Naw... they just won the frikken' election. Piss on all those poor bastards that didn't vote for me... I'll make 'em pay, one way or the other. Well, I kept up my chin, being a glass half full kind of gal, and would walk into my polling place for the next one, place my vote, and if my candidate won, I would see them do the same damn thing to people of the other party.

It's no farking (thanks Nola) wonder we can't get anything done about all the situations going on today. Billy Bob senator wants Joe Willy representative to kiss his lily white Christian ass before he will help talk up a bill to his senate cronies, while Joe Willy wants a piece of pork slipped into the bill that would get him a destruction derby race track built on some land that Bart Buddy owns back home because Bart Buddy gave him a big ass donation from his millions that his pappy made in bootleggin' back during probition...

I'll be so glad when this election is over...The older I get the more frustrated I get.

HALLIE... HALLIE...WHERE ARE YOU??? And Sock Monkey... I will quit calling you silly names... maybe

A Grass Roots Movement...

HALLIE TWOMEY FOR PRESIDENT!!!

This just in off the blogging wire....

There is a groundswell rumbling through our country. An event of epic (maybe) purportion, preportion, porportion, well, a big damn event. And it was conceived in the mind of a retired militant, errrrr, a retired military person, a blogger, a woman. I am now formally endorsing this candidate. You want someone to clean up the government? This woman can do it. Big business? No problem. Fuel costs? She will handle that, too. How do I know this? She has two teenage sons and two wiener dogs, and, lest we forget, a marvelous husband, and if she can deal with them, she can deal with anything!!! Want proof? Go check it out...
