I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Bren, that looks gorgeous! The colors here in Kansas are also outstanding this year! I remember hearing that brilliant Fall colors mean a hard winter is coming. Have no idea if that has any validity.

Blue and Ray, my deepest sympathy. Beautiful cactus.

Bren, it is very rainy here, but beautiful! Maybe I'll try posting pictures of my yard.

Blue - so sorry to hear about Ray's Mum - lots of hugs to you both

Just watched a most wonderful speech given by Pres. Obama in Boston. It was a fantastic speech and wonder of wonders......what he mentioned ( not that I did not know it already ) was that if we had true bi-partisan efforts going on how well things would work.

Essentially what it meant to me was that my dumb terribly stupid family ( who now seem to be going extremist Republican ) will not be able to snatch my health care and that of my friends away. You know, it sort of bothers a person when their own family -- who boasts how much they look at both sides of an issue -- just don't come close to getting it.

Sigh !!!!! over and over again.

Just speaks for itself.

Mind boggling his afternoon listening to Repugs plus Boehner ( ( Krazy Krauthammer first ) just keep pounding away about the Obamacare/ACA being a lie. I guess I might as well as well say are they stupider than a pet rock or are they worse.

Also heard a great take on the Sibelius hearings. Yes, she is sitting in a hearing room being forced to explain ( but a whole lot of the rest of the country gets to hear the truth while she does ) to Repugs who wouldn't be asking most of the questions they do if they had read the book on it --- and why would you make accusations about things you know nothing about -- because your a Repug I guess. Anyway......they don't seem to see they are in fact giving her a huge chance to SET the record straight because she will be un-covering so many half-truths and outright lies. As they use to say in school ( was that 100 yrs. ago now ) smooth move, X-lax.

While there are problems and no one ( that I know of ) denies that, IMHO many of the Repugs just keep digging the hole deeper. They were and are on shaky ground and why you would just continue to exacerbate that is completely beyond me.
