I waited for a while on posting to let my personal rage to subside.

hurrah.

The GOP has triumphed over the folks they put out of work and stopped unemployment benefits for those who have been on the dole for over six months (depending on which state you live in)!   41 brave Republicans and one turncoat Democrat  have stood solid, showing the majority of senators just who really is in control. This moral victory in wrangling in the deficit will surely be shouted to the heavens.

But, wait, where is the smug spin zone?

An Open Plea To Frank McCourt

So I dressed up the family in Dodger Blue on Tuesday and drove down to the Orange Curtain to watch us get a disappointing beating at the hand of Los Angeles Angels of  Anaheim last night. As a Dodger mini-plan holder I can take a loss but there was something I couldn't take.

Now I hate the Angel's as much as the next guy but there is something they have that the Dodgers
just can't get their minds around... Showmanship, Razzle-Dazzle and Jibba-Jabba. The organization had these fans riled up and guess what happened? Clayton Kershaw got jacked by the 10th man, the fans.

So let's take a look at what we could be doing differently.

I've been watching this cool little animated series of shorts on THEWB.com called "Chadam"

Since the episodes are short, they dole out information with an eyedropper. So far, this is what I have been able to glean. The residents of  Vulture have been under an attack from an evil mastermind and have blockaded themselves into the remote district Cardboard City. Chadam, who has been pulling a Rip Van Winkle awakes to the new doom his city has become. He seems to be discovering that he has a superpower, he can make drawings leap off the page and do his bidding.

It got me thinking, do I have a superpower that I a taking for granted?

So this is how Californians got hoodwinked by some Utah good ole boys?

November 5, 2008 was the day hope and hate collided in California. The front page of the L.A. Times blared "IT'S OBAMA!" An unfamiliar optimistic feeling was emerging. But as it seems with many Democrat victories, the second headline was a kick to gut. "In California, gay-marriage ban takes early lead."  It soured the Obama victory and gave us a reminder that Bushies were not extinct, just in the closet.

How in the HELL did this happen?
