New haircut, old arthritis

I finally cut my hair after nearly a year. I look different. I will have to post photos soon. Then you can all see what a handsome, young lad I really am. :D

However, arthritis is really giving me heck. My left hand now refuses to close all the way and I have no grip on that side. Two knuclkes of my middle finger have stiffened ti the point that I can't bend them. The pain is devilish at times, too. It has slown my typing speed but I am not giving in to it. I'm fighting for flexibility and movement.

Nothing new to add about my wife's health. She is doing as well as can be expected with me giving her a boost from behind all the time. She's a fighter, just like I am. At the rate we are going, we will still be going strong together long after we should be totally incapacitated. Go us.

On the soap box: Still not buying McCain as a valid choice for president. Let's inaugurate Obama tomorrow and end the tragedy of the Bush years. Off the soap box. Good night.

Billary B. S.

If I could, I would grasp Billary by their collective neck and shake until common sense sets in. They need to step aside and let Obama take on McCain. I won't vote for McCain regardless of who wins the Democrat nomination but Hillary can't beat him in the general election. She just doesn't have the right stuff.

Enough preXidential politiX for now. Veterans of all ages unite! The current crop of returning vets is getting the short end of the stick when it comes to G. I. Bill for college. Over at Wes Clark's place there is a petition to get key senators off their butts to fix teh problem. Please follow this link http://therealmccain.com/gibill/ and sign the petition. It will take mere seconds. The veterans of today deserve no less than the benefits we and our parents enjoyed after our sacrifices.

My patriotic blood thanks you in advance for stepping up.

More Hillary Hokum

Okay, Hillary has proven herself to be a liar already. Now she is saying that if she gets elected president she will cut middle-class taxes by 100,000,000 dollars a year. That's one hundred million clams a year. Is that more of that sniper fire we hear?

It's like her concept of universal health care. Make every American man, woman and child buy health insurance whether they can afford it or not. During Bill's first 100 days, she said, "We are going to make the deadbeats pay up!" Does anybody really think that she has had a change of heart during the past 16 years? Not on your sweet bippy!

So now she has her lapdog, Carville calling Richardson a Judas. He is anything but. He is a savvy polititian with a good sense of right and wrong. What Bill did for Governor Richardson has no bearing on Richardson's political decisions. If Richardson wants to back Obama, he is free to do so.
