Letting His Freak Flag Wingnut Fly

From Album3

You know, with all the "this is good news for Republicans" nonsense--and it IS nonsense, despite the conservative media lazily pushing it as fast as their Rethug masters can crank out press releases--something like this shouldn't necessarily be discounted as a reaction to the batshit insanity of card carrying GOP wingers.

Most people don't make following politics their pursuit, hobby, obsession...whatever you want to call it. And with their ideological purity (e.g., "proud right wing terrorist," etc.)...anyway, even with the media doing their heavy lifting, the general public might well be sick and tired of the lunatic rightwing fringe. Just saying.

Tigger takes in the Quarter. It was a little colder today than the picture above; however, it was quite nice visiting with a very good friend, his better half, AND I finally had the chance to say hello to Adrastos at his place of work. A good start to 2010, and hopefully a good auspice.

Cheers.

Have a nice weekend.

2010--Hopefully Off to a Good Start

I'm going to New Orleans, and if I time things right, I might avoid traffic both coming and going -- lots of people will be watching football games...

Might post something later. Here's to everyone having at least a decent 2010.
