Rebirth?!?!

You.  Must.  Be.  Joking.


Ok, several events in the last 24 hours have been a bit jarring... finding out your cousin is getting divorced by having a bbc article emailed to you about it notwhistanding, the 4:30 am alarm clock, the 20 degree drop since yesterday, etc...  but this Wahington Post headline makes me crazy "

GOP SEES STIMULUS OPPOSITION AS CHANCE FOR "REBIRTH"

What?!?!

So now they're this pheonix rising from the still smoldering ashes of partisanship, rigid adherence to failed economic strategies (ahem, tax cuts tax cuts and nothing but tax cuts), and a refusal to invest in new infrastructure on the wings of partisanship, rigid adherence to failed economic strategies (ahem, tax cuts tax cuts and nothing but tax cuts), and a refusal to invest in new infrastructure?   WTF?!

This is so surreal.  I can't take it.  My favorite quotation was the Senator who said "we are beginning to find our voice."  This is too much, it hurts.  Shouting the same old rhetoric, but this time from the sidelines, feels like a new experience huh?  Amazing what a little change of perspective can do to the same old ideas.

Oh, and by the way, happy 6th birthday Adahlou!  I love you tons!
