Forty-four days left of George W. Bush's non presidency... Can we fast forward?

*

Watched the Meet The Press Barack Obama show.
He has some good ideas and some that I'm not as sure of.
The only thing we agree on is that it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Not too sure about the time frame on that recovery either.
2.5 million jobs? I'd like to know more about that. Who, where, how much cost?
I'm happy with the choice of Dick Gregory for the moderator of Meet The Press, he's pretty good.

Iowa's supreme court is going to rule on the state's gay marriage ban.
Let's hope that they favor basic civil rights being extended to all people.
There have been other groups oppressed in this country and there still are...
Matthew Shepard was murdered because he was gay, just like the racially inspired beatings and murders that have occurred.
No matter what you personally feel about gay marriage we cannot allow government sanctioned discrimination.

On a lighter note, have you watched Mark Shaiman's "Prop 8- The Musical" with Jack Black as Jesus? (yup)
Might be offensive to some but I thought it amusing and pointed.

Non Political:
Spent most of today searching for good internet prices on the few things I have left on my Christmas list.
It's a shorter list this year and definitely not very expensive gifts on it.
Only have two people left on the list, the rest get cookies, pies and homemade things.
One more trip to major stores and that's all I expect to do as far as shopping.

Can't wait for New Year's Eve. I have a number of real resolutions and a "bucket list" of sorts to work on.
I'll likely post it here New Year's Day... I wonder if there's a way to place it on the side to add to and delete items.
Working my way through watching Miami Vice Season Three and drinking a hot cup of tea.
G'night
Crockett and Tubbs are calling to me.
