Obama

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

yeah mate, the election is over…what can I say…those are my people yo!!!
welcome back!!! FFM missed you…

a british colleague had Obama as her desktop wallpaper…really people, are the parties that different…no!!! if you think they are you are european!!!
Euros with their bloody proportional representation and multi party systems…

…OK with a Dem house and senate (being one of the astute observers of politics of course I know what a filibuster is…)…
…knowing what a filibuster is does not make you an astute observer of politics….

I started to expound on my point about an Obama vs. McCain presidency and what legislation would be different, but scrapped it…I don’t have time to edumacate….
OK…maybe health care legislation will be quite different, and environmental legislation will be more comprehensive, but other than that it would end up being the same…taxes, war, immigration, etc…the other important issues would have ended up identically….
I’m much more interested in how the religious right reacts…this could be the end of the religious right in politics…as they fail in 2012 and then move to create a multi-party system….
fun to watch…like 50 y.o. making out at the pub…

Battle of New Orleans next may…live!!!

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

an old irish dude who used to play with Bob Geldof (I think his name is Dave) loves politics (esp. american politics…I always tell him it doesn’t affect him, but he seems to think it does…), anyways he wants McCain to win then promptly die…just to see Palin in office…that would be a good show!!!

Eric is a flip flopper!!! Changing to Obama just because of Palin..

2.0 promised me I could sing a johnny horton song during his wedding if I would come…I’m pretty sure he didn’t clear this with stephanie, but since Eric wears the pants and the wedding is really for him I know that I will be singing “the battle of new orleans” in Minnesota next May….thank you eric!!! you are my hero…

During the time immediately preceding his promise the two yanks were singing “the battle of new orleans” in the pub…I should be ashamed, but i’m not really…

I think Saffa also promised me a song at his wedding in SaffaLand as well (if I show up and if I’m invited…)…cheers matey!!!

Some dude who lives in my flat rode the elevator down with me and asked me if I was going to vote…really…I’ve never even said more than ‘hallo’ to him before.

No I’m not voting, but if I was I’d vote for whoever was more likely to raise your taxes…you need it…

Me (to Mona the waitress): can a brother get some cake!!!!

me: Kat, Do you know what the root word of navajo is???

Fresh AND vital…

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Was introduced to a someone who apparently knew of me…New friend described me as ‘frish und vital’ (fresh and vital)…
Those are new words used to describe me…flattered??? maybe….
They should see me now…
…and too thin…also a new one…
