January 30th marks an unpleasant time of year for me and mine. It was just eight years before we said goodbye to my father, the finest example of a man I have ever known. Eight years is a long time, but it’s not hard to go back.

So, to celebrate the memory, I found a picture that quickly brought a smile to my face. For those of you who remember him, I hope it will give you one, as well. And for those who had not the privilege, this’ll tell you a lot of what you’d need to know.

While the title’s not a direct quote, that’s the gist of what was said by Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) in a letter to Politico. The essence of this is, “keep your superstitious foolishness to yourselves and leave the governing to us progressives, or we’ll steal your money.”

If you’re wondering where you may have heard of Rep. Woolsey before, she was the one responsible for Cindy Sheehan’s disruption of the 2006 State of the Union address. She had given her sole invitation to Sheehan, despite knowing she was a full-on loon.

I’m a fan of football. Having grown up watching and playing it, I see no time in the future where I won’t be watching it. It’s an “always have, always will” sort of thing.

But there are some things I could totally do without: see how many you agree or disagree with! I’m sure there’s other stuff I haven’t listed here, but those are the major ones.

I like it quite a lot, but there’s plenty of work to be done. First, the tab box is way too tall…I need it smaller with less wasted space. I also need to renovate the right side with the featured articles, with the first two or three displaying images and the rest without. The middle column repeats a post if it’s in more than one category.
