I'm Back!

Where have I been?

I didn't mention before I left that I was going on vacation.
I'm back now, catching up on some work related issues and Ill be back to essay writing later this evening.

As someone who loves summer, I have to say that this has been the worst summer in my life. First, with the death of my dad in May and later with nearly 6 weeks of non-stop lung infection and subsequent hospitalization, I ended up missing most of it. But its good to be alive.

What did I miss?

Well, the shuttle made it back.
Thank God! Now fly it to a museum and get on with building something that doesnt kill people every 50 flights.

Karl Rove still has a job.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Rolling Stones wrote an "anti-bush" song.
Oh, you remember 'the rolling stones' from the "2001 walking fossils of rock" tour? Apparently they used to make popular music for the kids in the 1960s.

Keith, Mick, hey- love ya guys, but I notice that over your entire 40 year year span of music you never managed to make an anti-pol pot song, an anti-nixon song, an anti-reagan song, an anti-carter song, an anti-saddam song, an anti-milosevich song, an anti-mao song, an anti-breshnev song, an anti-mulroney song, an anti-thatcher song, an anti-major song, an anti-de gaulle song, an anti-honecker song, an anti-gorbachev song, an anti-blair song, an anti-castro song, an anti-clinton song,an anti-kerry song, an anti-hitler song, an anti-mussolini song, an anti-churchill song, an anti-heath song, an anti-franco song. After all that time, after all that history, after all the monsters both real and imagined in your lifetime, its only Emperor Bush that has inspired your drug addled minds to write a lyric opposing him and his regime.

What was that lyric you guys sang in "mothers little helper"? What a drag it is getting old? Yeah, thats the one.

Bush nominated a conservative to the Supreme Court.
No kidding, really? who wouldve thought such a thing possible?

Like I said, I'll be back this evening. Oh, by the way the entry in the 'Hitchhikers Guide' for Nevada,Utah and Idaho should read "Mostly Empty". I know, I drove on one road for 4 hours and only passed one other car. And that was while I was going 70 miles an hour!

I just wanted to say I'm sorry this summer has been so personally hard, and I'm really glad you're back blogging. Yours is a voice I come to often and I appreciate your insights. I'm with you though, autumn can't come soon enough. I'm in the midwest and it's just an armpit here in the summer.

"Bush nominated a conservative to the Supreme Court."

This surprises the same people who were shocked that the new Pope is Catholic.
