Looney! It’s Just You!<\/b><\/p>\n

So, how’ve you been? My dinner plans<\/a> haven’t really changed since I haven’t gone shopping to pick up the delightful ingredients in your recipes. Jumbo shrimp!<\/p>\n

I’ve been more concerned about The Cute and Cozy Cabin, its financing, and what I’ll start on first in its rejuvenation. Apparently, my siblings and my Mom have been jockeying over rights to decorate in the meanwhile. I don’t have a problem with that (they’re all getting a key to the place after all), I just have one request:<\/p>\n

I want a comfy chair.<\/p>\n

That’s it. At The 1912 House, the chairs are either too delicate and precious or placed for design’s sake, not comfort. Seeing as how this will be my fortress of solitude (except for the solitude thing), I think I’m entitled to furniture that I can relax in. Yep, me. Weird.<\/p>\n

This is the political silly season of course, so I’ll need an inviting perch to take in the debates—with the Waffle King’s equivocations playing against the President “rising above lowered expectations.” Some people have called this the most important election in United States history, you know, like Truman v. Dewey, Reagan v. Carter, Bush v. Mondale, et al (spell check note: All of those proper names checked out okay in the spell checker except for Mondale. Tell you something? – ed<\/i> Yes! Apple has a anti-Minnesota bias! Have they been sued<\/a> by the state lately? – bob).<\/p>\n

I think it may be the most important election this year! I know that’s going out on a limb, but I’m sticking to it. I mean, what are the real differences? Bush is from the nearly sovereign Republic of Texas. A land where they don’t take nope for an answer. Kerry is from France, where non!<\/i> is the social currency. Frankly, we could use a little nope in our public discourse nowadays. Ballistic Missile Defense? Nope, ain’t gonna happen (or work). Medicare Trust Fund? Nope, ain’t there no more, we done used it up. I just don’t cotton to the French version of nope.<\/p>\n

I suppose what I mean by that is non<\/i> in this context is “anti” rather than a rebuttal. I didn’t have the time or energy to listen to what you said, all I know is I hate it, whatever it was.<\/p>\n

That’s not the way we’re supposed to run things around here and if Democrats can’t wise up to that, or at least make a cogent argument, then we’re truly sunk. By the way, was that a tacit endorsement for the Republicans? Hell no. The only refreshing part of their platform is that we know where they stand. I detest a vast majority of their platform, but I admire the fact that they can stay on message. Dems? Pathetic, and they’ll lose because of it.<\/p>\n

That’s another wild prediction of mine that, when combined with five dollars fifty cents, will get you a carmel macchiato. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

Well, that was pretty random…<\/p>\n

Your best pal,<\/p>\n
