As most of you that have been reading this know, I was a Howard Dean man. I swore I would never vote for a person who voted for the Iraq debacle or the “patriot” act, an un-American bill as can be.. And here is my proof:

I was a “deniac”, I even canvassed for him. He reflected my views in almost every way. I think he could have proven a better contender to bush.

The girls came with me, as they will for every vote until they themselves can vote…

Making lemons out of lemonade, I believe in the AA type concept of recovery. You have to hit bottom to get back up. This article from Molly Ivans reflects my take on this view:

Don’t Mourn, Organize

by Molly Ivins

AUSTIN, Texas — Do you know how to cure a chicken-killin’ dog? Now, you know you cannot keep a dog that kills chickens, no matter how fine a dog it is otherwise.

Some people think you cannot break a dog that has got in the habit of killin’ chickens, but my friend John Henry always claimed you could. He said the way to do it is to take one of the chickens the dog has killed and wire the thing around the dog’s neck, good and strong. And leave it there until that dead chicken stinks so bad that no other dog or person will even go near that poor beast. Thing’ll smell so bad the dog won’t be able to stand himself. You leave it on there until the last little bit of flesh rots and falls off, and that dog won’t kill chickens again.

The Bush administration is going to be wired around the neck of the American people for four more years, long enough for the stench to sicken everybody. It should cure the country of electing Republicans.

And at least Democrats won’t have to clean up after him until it is real clear to everyone who made the mess.

I really like Molly Ivans, she is like a redneck liberal. Sorta how I picture myself.. 🙂

Ill get on to more mundane things now… Here is the R and I.

Here are the girls putting clothes “on the line”.. They had to get this out of a book, because we have not done it for years.

This is probably the worst part of being a parent so far… Yuck! K just asked me if it’s even worse than a big ‘ol poo diaper… Absolutely. I’ll clean that diaper three times for every face (and high chair) like this I have to clean.
