New Year. Same Shit. No Surprises.

First order of business: A Public Service Announcement!

Dearest Christine and anyone else similarly concerned,

I didn't "switch sides"...I've always played for the other team...just ask Dennis. I feel the need to reiterate this because I haven't changed. If you weren't "creeped out" by me before you have no reason to be now. As someone I have a great amount of respect for once said: "You can't catch THE GAY. It's not like THE MEASLES." :oP ...and regarding the other teams I play for...I've always been the most liberal person I know. Even my parents are all "Where the hell do you get you ideas, girl?!" sometimes. lmao. Now I have an answer. MSNBC. ...but I digress. I shall end this announcement before I break into Jessica Andrews' "That's Who I Am."

So we're discussing the UNITED States of America today, are we? In that case, I have this to offer...



Oh those crazy Russians. I love them to pieces. Just FYI, the day Kentucky joins the European Union is the same day that Rachel Maddow calls me up and asks me to run away to Canada with her and get married. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, KIDS.

...what else were we talking about...oh yes, the war. I was for it before I was against it. Like Palin and her bridge to nowhere. No, really. I was with Hillary. She voted for the war and then once we'd had time to figure out what the hell was really going on she realized that she'd fucked herself politically...which was incredibly unfortunate...not to mention the war itself {which she didn't declare all on her own, haters} has been INCREDIBLY unfortunate. So many young American {and ally} lives lost needlessly. So many young Iraqi children orphaned...and blaming the U.S. in general for their loss. They will retaliate. Dr. Mazzei's videos don't lie. It won't be pretty. As hard as I try I don't think I'll ever be able to see what makes it all worthwhile.

I do agree with Christine on one point though...the soldiers are going to NEED mental health services. They are currently RIDICULOUSLY underserved by the VA. That is one thing that my plan for socialized medicine in the U.S. would be sure to take into consideration. No one listens to me, though. It's their loss, I suppose. :op

Much Love,
