I have NEVER been this down at Christmas. Twenty years ago, we were on our way from one duty station to another, and got to spend Christmas with Lovely Daughter's grandparents on her daddy's side. The phone rang - no cell, my in-laws phone on the wall of their kitchen - and my mum told me the results of the exploratory surgery Dad had undergone. He refused any more treatment for the colon and liver cancer that would end his life in about 2 years.
This is worse, because my dad CHOSE his treatment...or lack thereof. We understood, because we knew him and loved him.
Congress has become the totalitarian regime that Nazi Germany was so proud to put in place. From "Nazi Fascism and the Modern Totalitarian State:"
Totalitarianism is a form of government in which all societal resources are monopolized by the state in an effort to penetrate and control all aspects of public and private life, through the state's use of propaganda, terror, and technology. Totalitarian ideologies reject the existing society as corrupt, immoral, and beyond reform, project an alternative society in which these wrongs are to be redressed, and provide plans and programs for realizing the alternative order. These ideologies, supported by propaganda campaigns, demand total conformity on the part of the people.

The very reason that they are rushing it through is that the people that should be paying attention aren't. They're trying to get the holiday baking, shopping, gifting, parties, etc. finished.
Swampie, I don't think it matters. I think Congress is going to vote the way they want to, with no regard for the wishes of their constituents. They believe they KNOW better than those of us in the trenches. They're smarter, dontchaknow. It's 'for our own good' as if they were parents, not REPRESENTATIVES.
Scum.
Parking lot at Target was nearly empty an hour ago. Got 2 sweaters for Lovely Daughter on clearance. Ten bucks. She always makes out like a tall dog when I have a little cash right before Christmas - 50-75% off is a BIG deal!
Yowza. I shopped at Target midday last Friday and, except for other coworkers that had gotten off at midday, the place was empty.
Never seen anything like it.
The weather channel is blaming the weather for the empty stores. Don't think that they can use that excuse here.
What in the name of all that's sane are you doing up at 2 in the morning?
Old dog. Bladder capacity smaller than it used to be. (Do they have prostate problems?)
Boy do I know that one. Woke from a sound sound sleep exactly 5 hours after closing my eyes. It isn't prostate with me (snicker) but I can't say about your dog...
