Now that the Carpeting Party seems to have found a little spine, let's rename another one.

Quote:

"It's time for us to send a message to Washington — we're sick and tired of big-spending, high-taxing, career politicians," Hoffman said in a statement Saturday after Scozzafava's announcement.

Let's see, it's almost the end of the first year of Democratic leadership which has already, apparently, yanked the economic auger-into-the-ground out of its nosedive after the administration supported by the same people helping Hoffman's campaign ran the National Debt into truly dizzying numbers. Isn't that 'big spending'?

And he's being supported by Sarah 'I like the attention this gig brings me' Palin. Isn't she the definition of a career politician?

Welcome, Hypocrisy Party, to the spotlight. Let's hope you can draw out all the whackos and let the Repugnicans go back to being merely slightly disagreeable.

P.S. Muahahahaha.

Happy holy-day, all

I don't really have the energy to play with secular Halloween any more. Nobody to do it with, nobody around here that would really appreciate it... but as Herself reminds us, it's the turning of the year and a day of rememberance, not just an excuse for a party.

My parents decided to prove they're real Celts. My Da died the day before Halloween... oh, ages ago now. My mother, who one might think had a slow-acting death wish considering how badly she abused her system, waited until me and my heroic measures were well out of reach, and died either Halloween night or early All Saint's Day. Can you imagine anything more appropriate?

A blesséd Samain to you and yours.
