She's Electric

Just got an email forwarded to me by one of the neighborhood groups from the City of New Orleans, about how the city will be participating in Earth Hour 2009. What a crock! Today is Saturday and City Hall is officially closed, and the lights aren't on anyway, so big fat hairy deal.

These hollow-make-yourself-feel-superior-symbolic gestures annoy me anyway, but apparently I am one of the few people in the neighborhood who is not buying into it. Unfortunately, I work for a living, and did not have time to string the christmas lights a la Clark Griswold. But if you are looking for Mr. and Mrs. Molly tonight, we should be easy to find. We are the house with all the lights on cranking Oasis on our stereo.

Obama Administration Insults Our Closest Ally

I am not a fan of the political correctness of Gordon Brown. However he is the prime minister of the United Kingdom who has, historically been our closest ally. Apparently Mr. Obama has no couth whatsoever and has insulted Mr. Brown, in his representative capacity as a leader of the people of the United Kingdom.

After September 11, 2001, the people of Great Britain loaned a bronze bust of Winston Churchill to the United States. After British authorities offered to let Obama continue to keep the bust for another four years, he, by all accounts, rather uncerimoniously returned it, insulting the British in the process.

So much for his promise that the countries of the world would like us better if we elected him. Way to go zerO.
