Yup, Bush did some seriously evil shit. Also, the Patriot Act was invented after 9/11, and has yet to not be renewed by congress. Just what the executive branch needs, more power…

Wendy's chili cheese fries are awesome, too.

Our refrain was "this land is private property" with those other lyrics. For the first refrain, that is. The second stanza is new to me - good job!!

How did you know my chess strategy?

I like how the bitter bit part actors keep complaining about the famous actors. Believable!!

I, for one, am looking forward to the Smithsonian "surplus" Ebay auctions. Not that I could afford anything, mind you.

And , as with every Obama speech I have heard since the election, I am weeping again…

Mostly Democrat - it isn't that bad up here. LePage keeps pushing back on measures the voters push through, because he sucks, and the legislature mostly pushes them through. But he does bullshit things like reject Medicare expansion, and other social stuff. I think he tried to veto a gay marriage bill at one point,…

We legalized marijuana, too. It isn't all bad up here.

Imagine being a Maine resident, one of the majority who did not vote for him. (This is why we voted in Ranked Choice voting last fall.)

Skynyrd/Zevon. Sigh.

Yup, Reagan was definitely easier, kind of (I was born during Nixon's administration). It's all a roller coaster, anyway.

I had to teach myself that - Microsoft Works, Windows 3.1. Those were the days! ;)

My sister got a certificate to be a travel agent in 1998 or so. Like, the year Travelocity was invented. My college didn't have a computer science degree, unless you wanted to co-major in math. Yup.

Yeah, growing up in the Reagan era was all peaches and cream. I didn't have nightmares about nuclear war every night or anything. The stock market crash in 1987 didn't screw up my college fund. The Challenger disaster wasn't totally disturbing either.

They get really pissed when you present them with facts, call them fake, and yell and howl, in my experience. Some of them delete my comments. I say "know your enemy" and don't block/unfriend, but I am happy for the fake news reporting option…

I'm hoping for one to hit during the inauguration, in DC. Sure, lots of innocents will be lost, but, well, we'll have to accept that.

"Drop Dead Fred" was a special and amazing movie, and her role added to that.
