THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD MADE

It is 7:36 a.m. and 59.8 degrees. Patrick is curled up on his afghan at my feet. Well, over the last week, we've had over 8 inches of rain, at least.Seems like nature was trying to make up for our two-month long drought all at once. Grass is green now!! Yesterday we went to the lumber yard and bought OSB, tar, roll roofing, nails, drip edge, 1x4's, more nails and flashing. Oh, boy!!

Heard Roy Brown say "diconbobulated" on TV the other day. Haven't heard that word in a long time. My Dad used to use it. We miss him.

Tried to watch Charlize Theron in some Japanese-type cartoon character super hero roll, in black tights on cable the other day. She doesn't have the body for it. Oh, sure, she's a ballerina, but that's not enuff. Couldn't stay awake. She doesn't have the body for it. Oh, did I say that? Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider and Halle Berry's Catwoman (or Michelle Pfieffer's, for that matter) have set the bar too high on cartoon women, in our opinion... Oh, and of course Rebecca Romaine--was that her? in X-men--I could go on, but--thumbs down to Sorry Charly.

We just admire when people tell it like it is and call people names! Patriot Post is one of the best: (our emphasis)

Democrats change position on Iraq

A sure sign that the Treason Lobby is fresh out of ideas is their resort to that last bastion of hope, “glass-half-empty” politics. In this case, now that the Demos’ “quagmire” whining has been squelched by General Petraeus’ recent counterinsurgency victories in Iraq, the Left is beside itself as to how to cast these overwhelming triumphs into abject failures. Enter “half-full-glass” politics. Specifically, because military gains—no matter how remarkable—have not resulted in peace, love and harmony among Iraqi’s various political blocs, smooth-brains on the Left are confident they have worthy a rationale-du-jour for “bringing the troops home” (AKA, surrendering in Iraq). The theory is that since there has been no “political reconciliation” (to use The Washington Post’s term) among Iraqi factions, these concrete successes mean little, if anything.

Notwithstanding its inability to survive a giggle test, this argument is nonetheless gaining popularity among second-echelon Democrats, who feel obligated to undermine U.S. efforts in Iraq. While Democrat presidential candidates stumble over each other to be first in the “I’m-toughest-on-terror” line—a line each candidate must toe, if he/she ever wants the label “President” to precede his/her name—the real yeoman’s work of Planet Democrat’s inhabitants centers on dismantling efforts to further freedom and democracy in Iraq, through whatever means possible. The Seditionists have tied their hopes for power in 2008 to U.S. failure in the Middle East, independent of the consequences. Let’s just hope America—as well as the rest of the world—isn’t forced to face those consequences.

Right.

GO GATORS--LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO!!
