It’s a really nasty day out this morning and I can’t
seem to shake the depression I have felt since the
events of November 4th. Somehow I have to find
some rhyme or reason as to how the American
people, some of the most intelligent in the world, if
not the most intelligent, have sunk to the state of
complete moronic gullibility. As far as I can tell they
based their reason for lowering our standards for
President because they thought one man, President
George W. Bush, caused all our problems. Those of
you who have this in your mind have no mind. You
are not able to judge things for yourself. You believe
what the newspaper tells you and can’t see that it's
a rag paper because it's slanted in the worst way.
This is my personal opinion. I still have the right to
have an opinion at least until January of 2009. You,
not me, are part of a cult of personality. I would
caution you not to drink the kook-aid. I for one will
fly my personal flag at half mast and draped in black
for the next four years and will not speak of this
again. Those of you who tried to do the right thing
for our beloved country can take solace that you will
get a chance again in four years. So until then pray
for our nation.
If your stomach is upset the best thing for that is
Good Old Chicken Soup-this one made with our own
pumpkin ale!
Now let’s cook ......
