Gloria's Blog

Gloria has a blog. Today she posted a blog about her mornings. I tried to post pictures to that blog, but It looks like this blog does not allow pictures to be posted as a comment, so I am posting the pictures here that show the experience she is talking about in our back yard.

Dahl Girls Do The Getty

Gloria went down to North Hollywood this weekend to visit her sisters. They went to the getty Museum today so here are 2 pictures.
Doesn't "the Getty" sound like it should be a dance?

Darn, Conservatives are getting desperate

Conservatives have so little to talk about they are actually using the picture above to prove that Obama is anti-Israel and is advancing a pro-muslim agenda. yes, just the picture.

They have even hired "body language experts" to say what it means when a person who works 24/7 puts his feet on the desk during a phone call. If you go to that link and read carefully, you'll see they even make up what Obama was saying. If these people spent as much time working for the benefit of the country instead of just making stuff up, maybe we could get out of the ditch the conservatives put the country in.
I live in a very very conservative part of the country. The way conservatives are acting reminds of when Clinton was elected. The VERY SAME WEEK Clinton was elected, "Impeach Clinton" signs had already sprouted up on highway 99 near Pixley California. Of course in those days Pixley had a right wing militia radio station and many members, but that appears to me where this anti Obama movement is starting.

Nine Pound Hammer

There are lots of songs about a nine pound hammer. I think most are blue grass or old timey. A nine pound hammer is the one that the chain gangs used to use, kinda like in the movie "O brother where art Thou? A nine pound hammer is not a good thing unless i guess you are using it voluntarily to fix your driveway or something.
So why am I talking about a 9 pound hammer and who is listening anyway?
I work in a 5 attorney office and we were down to 3 attorneys this week so i have had a very hectic week and was unable to completes tasks that HAVE be completed by this coming Tuesday. the law profession is one where oftentimes (luckily not always though) a deadline is a deadline and there are true and serious consequences to be suffered if the deadline is not met. That is a long way of saying I had to work today, but I am now finished with the vast majority of the task that had been hanging over my head.
I feel like I have thrown down the 9 pound hammer, that is why I'm talking about implements of destruction.
Have a good weekend all, I will, I feel much much better!!

Was Ronald Reagan an Even Worse President Than George W. Bush?

It saddens and amazes me that republicans blame Obama (who has been in office less than 6 months) for problems that have been longstanding for years and started with the unemployed actor, Ronald Reagan, who was elected president in 1980.
It saddens me because the right wing's intellectual dishonesty and refusal to work within the system shows the republicans do NOT care about the country's benefit unless they are the ruling party. Rather than just disagree with policy many refuse to even acknowledge Obama's right to be president by pushing the ridiculous issue of Obama not even being a citizen.

The starting point for many of the catastrophes confronting the United States today can be traced to Reagan's presidency.
