    Sometimes I wish Obama would say what this little poster suggests:

      Well, I’ll have to take your word for it. When I clicked that link, my computer completely locked up. It kept flashing between that and a black screen. I finally had to power it off because I couldn’t get out of it.

      Can we send him back to Mars on a one way trip, please? I’m not taking the candy either. And I couldn’t make myself read the article about him in the Parade that came with our Sunday paper.

      I blush to guess whether that abomination that Trump flies on his unupholstered brain has US or Liberian registry. It for sure don’t look human or Earthly.I’m fairly certain that America faces a number of unsettled/unresolved issues and whether the sitting Potus is from a foreign land or an actual state is rather silly,since it has been known for ages that trump doesn’t really exist.

    Good morning. It’s just barely morning still. I have the day off so I am occupying my bed! This will be my last week at work and it won’t be a fun one. I have to work mostly nights. Saturday was the last day for one of our part-timers. He is retired and didn’t know it was his last day until he saw the schedule and he wasn’t on it. I have been incredibly ticked off since I was told we would all be given bonuses if we stayed to the end. Just a few days ago, I was told that only managers and key carriers will get bonuses. I had been waiting to be promoted to key carrier for over a year. So I am planning on writing a carefully worded email to the district manager and cc-ing to the CEO.

    Saturday the Occupy Traverse City folks were out – standing in front of and across the street of our local bookstore, much beloved by everyone, yelling their slogans back and forth. It was impossible to get across the street on the crosswalk because they were blocking it. I did my shopping and, on my way back to the parking structure, noticed that their numbers had dwindled. I asked a group of three why they were blocking the bookstore and not our Representative Dave Camp (R – Chair of House Ways and Means), who supports the “unborn” and the very wealthy with his votes, and who has an up-north office is down the street. Two of the three stared at me as if I were from the moon and the third said “He’s not in town.” So, I asked them why they were standing in front of and across the street from the bookstore which threatened no one and I was told they were really protesting the bank which was next door. So I asked why didn’t they stand in front of the bank and all I got were blank looks. I’m just not sure about these folks! I hope they don’t all vote for Ralph Nader in 2012!

    Ok – where would one find a “V for Vendetta” / Storm Trooper costume ?? Am I mistaken or is that what I’m seeing behind the “Get Our Troops Off Tatooine” sign.

    I need one !
