Reports Of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
I could afford to cut back a little, but given the state of the economy I feel compelled to make and save every dollar I can today, in case I can’t tomorrow. All my current jobs are precarious in one way or other, and although my household’s in good financial shape these days the economy still scares me enough that I want to add as much to savings as I can.
Working 16-hour days has made me a much mellower person, since on the rare occasions I have time to read some news I’m too tired to feel any outrage. Barack Obama has reneged on almost every promise that made me vote for him last November? Shrug. At least he was grammatically correct about it, which is more than I can say for most of the authors I edit. I can’t criticize Obama because all the opposition to him has been taken over by conspiracy-minded lunatics ranting about false birth certificates and racist epithets? Eh. I only have to read about Orly Taitz; it’s not my responsibility to polish her ramblings so they make sense.
When things calm down a bit I fully expect to become royally pissed off about things again, and will spend much time bitching about it here. In the meantime, I’m going to bed.

grammatically correct,
Obama weekly address, "historic and unanimous resolution" is syllepsis.
Obamawise, I favor the birdbrain hypothesis.
Why worry about politics? It's all a silly game. Best to focus on your home and family.
Politics covers things that can destroy my family or confiscate my home.
They may be covered under politics but what good can you do by worrying about them? Might as well worry about the weather or stellar physics.
What good can I do by embracing ignorance?
Editing vanity novels? How much does it pay and where do I sign up?
What good are you doing by getting your blood pressure up worrying about what Obama and his circus are doing? Are you one of those Libertarians who suffers from the Tom Paine Delusion? Do you think that all you need to do is string the right words together and the problems of this nation will be solved?
If you're really curious, Windy, send me an e-mail.
I was thinking that the evil forces behind Big Hair Products had sent a squad of community organizers to forceably hold you down to lather, rinse, and repeat. Then, leave you begging for a hair conditioner.
Glad to see that you're back and in "attack moode".
