Health is fine, had my PET scan the other day and haven't heard any bad news, so that's good news. I will know the details in a few weeks at my next appointment. Like I said, at least I don't have to watch you guys drinking all the good stuff! (I still cannot drink alcohol. Red wine tastes like paint stripper, white is not much better, and beer...yuk! It's all done wonders for my weight and Mrs K says it's been better than Weight Watchers...although I would NOT seriously recommend the Cancer Diet! LOL) Funny thing is I don't miss it either, and am happy drinking copious amounts of water. I'll be toasting Obama's win with some Sydney tap water! LOL 916

Absolutely jen. I have to admit. In a cyberworld of fairly vicious and predictable ranting, that one actually shocked me. Perhaps it's just naked envy or whatever. But the sheer volume and tenor of his bile was just a bit too much. Especially after forcing myself to endure Downer on Insiders this morning. :( Roll on Wed. :) 920

Thomas Sowell is obviously looking ahead and seeing his future as a commentator of the right……. looking pretty black.

Ego and Mouth……………..
….. The kind of self-righteous self-confidence that has become Obama’s trademark is usually found in sophomores in Ivy League colleges– very bright and articulate students, utterly untempered by experience in real world.

The signs of Barack Obama’s self-centered immaturity are painfully obvious, though ignored by true believers who have poured their hopes into him, and by the media who just want the symbolism and the ideology that Obama represents.

You'll certainly be missed but absolutely there with us in spirit (as will the rest of you intertube mob) on the day.
