An Email to Sharron

Note to readers: I received the following instruction from a friend whom I emailed shortly after the innaguration of President Barak Obama. "You should copy your email to me onto your blog! Once again, it is right on and I just think other people should be reading this stuff besides me."

Sharron, you've been an inspiration to me...I'm happy to comply!




Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey...GOODBYE!!

Thank the lord and praise jesus...the wicked administration is dead!!!!! And the question is: Which ones will go to jail. Many, I hope!

I was a total mess on Tuesday...in a good way. Watched a lot of TV and found myself emotional many times. After so many disappointments with election results, so much frustration with the band-aid approach to governing, I am thrilled to hear the arguments that have evaded public discourse since...well, pretty much my entire adult life. After decades of juvenile antics and "one side against the other politics," I am truly moved when I hear emotionally-mature adults presenting reasonable and fairness-based approaches to solving the problems that America faces.

Let's just hope that the toothless ignorants (you know, the people who adore Ann Coulter and Rush the Pill-popper) remain locked-up in their trailers long enough to allow the new administration to help them out...educate their children, perhaps?

I heard one quick newsflash that Obama immediately overturned "Don't ask, Don't tell," thusly allowing gays to serve openly in the military. But, I haven't seen much TV (aside from Tuesday's coverage) for the past week, so I don't know if there is any truth to the rumor. Given that the streets are clear of drably-clad men and women wielding pitchforks and torches, my guess is that the story was just a hopeful rumor. Have you heard anything? Interestingly, this was precisely issue that tapped the first nail in the coffin of the Clinton presidency. The minute he instituted the controversial edict, the neocons "reared their Putin-like heads" (yes, that's a slam on Granny Palin) and began the witch hunt that dogged Bill throughout his 2 terms.

I hope it's true, but it would surprise me if he did it so quickly, given that he is working so hard to reason with the unreasonable. He seems to be trying very hard not to piss off the backwoods hicks of the nation, an act of futility, in my opinion, because those people will never embrace the true ideals of this country, i.e., freedom and equality FOR ALL They're way too married to a certain, narrow interpretation of the Bible. I say...Give em Alaska!
