Pud day. Yeah, for a Monday, it was. I like pud days. And the rains of the day, and last night, knocked most of the pollen out of the air (which I am attempting to breathe) and I feel a whole lot better. Anyways, work was not a problem, and I went over to see Mom after I'd gone to walgreens and got some cigars and milk and got Mom some Boost (prescribed by her doc) and some Ice Cream (prescribed by me). Walgreens was out of 1/2 gallon milks, so I got a gallon and poured a half-gallon into Mom's almost-empty container. So we both have milk. Karen is coming home tomorrow evening, so I have to go pick her up, she's supposed to call me with the details... but it's 20:00 and I'm still waiting... I need to be at work at 06:00 tomorrow and the next day, to make sure that the big change in software doesn't have any problems.... And speaking of problems... BabyBush has a group of people looking at taxes. And it seems that they think that there are too many loopholes. For the poorer people, of course. So they're looking at taking away the deduction of interest on mortgages, for one thing.... Nothing, of course, said about re-applying the taxes on the rich folks that BabyBush has decreed unfair.... I might have said this before, but it bears repeating: BabyBush and the republicans in general are assholes. They want what they want, and there is no such thing as compassionate conservatism. The rich must get richer ("they're mah friends!" and the poor? "Fuck 'em, they can't do nothin' for me!" The founding fathers "knew that the recognition of a Deity would be seized upon by fanatics and zealots as a pretext for destroying the liberty of thought. They knew the terrible history of the church too well to place in her keeping, or in the keeping of her God, the sacred rights of man." ---Robert Greene Ingersoll
