What a beautiful Blue day

I don’t have a big rant to post here, but I wanted to at least register my happy disbelief. The Democrats have taken back the House, and possibly (probably?) the Senate. Huzzah! Having a bunch of yes-men in control of the Senate and House who would approve anything the president said and allow travesties like his “signing statements” was a mistake. Let’s just hope the democrats can maintain solidarity and actually have a consistent party vision. I have nightmares where they break this landmark moment by turning on one another right now. Still… what a beautiful Blue day!

I can’t believe you use the name cheesecake! 😉

But yeah. When something like 95% of the professors at this university are Democrats, the republican students and teachers tend to stand out. Honestly, I have no problem with republicans, and even agree on some fiscal matters with them– the problem is that the Neo-conservatives who have been in power lately aren’t really republicans. The amount of voters who usually vote republican but who voted democrat in the last election is a testament to that, I think.

Looking at what I’ve seen coming from Pelosi and other dems mouth over the last week, I must say– America won!

Whatever — you’re really a socialist at heart and you know it. Don’t let him fool you with his “I’m fiscally conservative” talk, folks. I don’t know why he does it really.. I’ve talked to him about dropping that habit 🙂

Is it any wonder why more university people tend to be more liberal? I know I’ve seen a few polls on it, but can’t seem to find a good one off the top of the google search page… maybe I’ll try harder when I feel more motivated…

🙂 The reason i used cheesecake was because i was eating cheesecake when i typed the message last night… of course i am eating eggplant dish as well right now so you can pretty much tell what i eat everyday if i visit here and leave a message everyday – maybe – … anyway, it turns out the republican in our lab is very religious as well, maybe that’s why…

I’d love to hear an explanation of how PD’s RPG books and electronic gadgets fit into his fiscally conservative view 😉 😛

I’m going to answer that by following a long chain of so-called ‘fiscally conservative’ politicians in saying, “The rules apply to everyone else, not to me.” 😛

No, Teisha is right, I’m really a liar. I favor socialist programs in almost every instance where they’re proposed to me. The areas where I would be fiscally conservative would be in defense budgets, politician salaries, and pork-barrel state projects.

…

Speaking of electronic gadgets– I want a Nintendo Wii so very badly. I wish they weren’t all pre-ordered and booked up everywhere in this area.

I’ve heard bunches about the Wii. I think it would be cool to play Smashbrothers with it 😀 😀
