OK… so Obama is choosing former-Clinton people to help in his transition.Â? That’s probably not a bad idea… as long as they’re just transition people and not permanent parts of his administration.Â? I’d really hope that he doesn’t do what Dubya did and pick old cronies of the previous president from his party to run his Cabinet and administration.
The one good suggestion I’ve heard is Colin Powell for Secretary of Education — I think it’s what Powell wants to do.
To an anonymous person:
If you use a common computer and you have a cold..
WASH YOUR F-ING HANDS AFTER YOU SNEEZE OR COUGH ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, it does not give me warm fuzzies to have Clorox down the machine before I use it.Â? And if the sea monkey and I get a cold, I will make your life miserable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Snuggles,

It’s a mighty beautiful day in the neighborhood.Â? Even being home with a migraine could not spoil my day.
[+] To all the idiot talking heads on TV: Obama won because he was the choice of the people.? It’s that simple.? I don’t remember a candidate winning by that many electoral votes since Clinton.? It’s not because he promised X or campaigned really hard in Y.? He was the peoples’ choice. Stop batting around conspiracy theories and such.
[+] Just went and looked at the county-by-county results in Minnesota for the election.Â? At least the people in LQP and Swift counties (the area where I used to live) voted correctly.? If I was still there, I wouldn’t have to be embarrassed for my county like I am in Montana.
[+] Speaking of my county, what’s up with you guys?? You couldn’t elect an intelligent woman in the state House race?? You suck.
[+]? Apparently, my dad saw the nasty Elizabeth Dole campaign ad from North Carolina where she cites Hagen receiving money from a group called “Godless America” and accuses her of being an atheist.? This caused my dad to mail the Hagen campaign $25 of “godless money” and makes Dole’s beating a whole lot sweeter.
[+] I’m waiting for the recount in the Minnesota senate race.? This should be a sign of how much Norm Coleman sucks as a senator that Al Franken (a comedian) is kicking his @$$.? It’s so close that they had to go to recount and I’m hoping that Franken comes out of it the winner.? I think he’d do good things for Minnesota.? Coleman only got in because his opponent in 2002 (who would have soundly trounced him) died in a plane crash. Unfortunately, this could drag out until mid-December.
So I’ve gotten through the rest of the book now and her time in Indonesia (well… Bali) is redemptive. She helps the medicine woman buy a house to live in with her kids, she helps the medicine man preserve his notes, and she actually WAITS before bedding Felipe.
I still think she’s narcissistic and self-centered but… she’s a New York socialite so I can’t expect much less. I’d still give the book two stars on Amazon.Com (maybe 2 1/2 if I was feeling generous).
If you live in the United States, you are probably aware (unless you are very well cloistered) that Election Day is tomorrow.
So…
GET YOUR BUTTS TO THE POLLING PLACES AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously now… you lose your right to complain if you don’t vote in this election.
I could write about my thoughts on the election and who to vote for.Â? (BTW, those voting for McCain: your voting day is actually November 5th!)Â? However, I’m not in the mood to be pissy.Â? I could write about how offended I am at the crap Focus on the Family put out (also known as “The Letter from 2012”).Â? That also goes under the politics category so I’ll skip it.Â? The sea monkey is zapping all the energy from me and it’s taking more energy than I have to be righteously indignant.
So… here’s a cute story:
The newspaper in Cut Bank asked some kids what they wanted to be for Halloween.Â? The best response (in my humble opinion):
Freddy COUGAR
Somehow, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch the Nightmare on Elm Street movies again (well… even for the first time) with a straight face!
I’m not doing too well at updating this site (this thing called real life keeps getting in the way!) so I decided to do NaBloPoMo this year to try and get myself writing again.
The point of it: post every day during the month of November.Â? No word requirement.Â? No special topics.Â? Just post on my blog.Â? I have no time for NaNoWriMo this year (besides, I won two years ago by killing off parishioners that irritated me in a murder mystery) so this hopefully will be something fun and geeky to do.
