Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Nov 26
Good Morning, Welcome To Your Monday

Ugh, who else is moving slow this morning. Four glorious days of relaxing, binge eating, purging, drinking, football and shopping. Seriously...what a life!

It's early so let's see if there's anything easy to talk about in the news. Oh look! Senator Lott is going to resign at the end of the year. So long, Trent. I hope your house is all rebuilt down there in Mississippi. Lott did a good job of redeeming himself after publicly insinuating that we'd be better off had a bigot and segregationist been elected president.

Obama Inhaled! Big freakin' deal. I see Romney was quick to jump in front of a microphone for a quote, though:

"I agree with the sentiment that nobody's perfect and most of us, if not all of us, in our youthful years have engaged in various indiscretions we wouldn't want to have paraded in the front of a newspaper," the former Massachusetts governor said in New Hampshire. "On the other hand if we're running for president, I think it's important for us not to go into details about the weaknesses and our own failings as young people for the concern that we open kids thinking that it's ok for them."
That is the most backwards ass twisted sentiment I've ever heard. The fact that we learn from our mistakes is what makes us human. It's also what makes people a good leader. It's the people that refuse to acknowledge past mistakes or use them as a way to grow in their 'world view' that are the kind of people that don't deserve to be leaders. Dick.

What else? Oh...it's f'ing freezing outside. I need a staffer to go start my car and get it warmed up for me.

Speaking of staffers
...How many of you have been told not to email your regular contacts in the governor's office for the next few months because of the open records request from that dude in Wisconsin that prevents them from deleting emails? Do tell.

Ok. Y'all have a good morning. I'm going to go have another cup of coffee and will this mild hangover away. But, if you want to read a great article...here you go.

Does this mean the email request now needs to widen to yahoo.com and HotMail accounts now being used by staffer to carry out state business?
