January 20, 2009 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Obama calls himself a Mutt and I have two!

November 8, 2008 this i believe

. Is it wrong to have hero worship towards a politician? Ever since the night of Nov. 4, I have been walking through the clouds. Elated, of course, but that feeling also comes from my disbelief that we actually did it. Or rather, he actually did it! And of course, we all know there is [...]
