I have decided to take some time away from FR for a while. This election had something to do with it, I'll admit. MAybe I just need to stop feeling upset every time I read a thread on how bad it was last night. It was bad, but I believe in miracles. Maybe in 2 years the country will see how bad San Francisco style leadership is in the House and restore the House back to the Pubbies. Maybe two years in the minority will make them learn a lesson they will never forget. If they reclaim power, they better use it to advance conservative principles, or they may never get it back again.
Talk about aging oneself, I watched Green Acres when it was on in prime time!

The political thing does get a bit overwhelming. Bottom line, conservatives do better out of power. We have two years to find us a President
Hell, I watched the pilot...lol

Pelosi is delusional and a complete idiot. Let her go over to Iraq and try that garbage on the terrorists. She won't miss her empty head when they take it off.
Don't forget about.... Come an listen to a story bout a man named Jed......
Gosh, you are an old beagle. (just kidding) I probably watched the pilot too but I'm too old to remember it. LOL
There's no way that I can stay away from my fellow Freepers. At a time like this, we need each other more than ever.
Actually that " farm livin" sounds good to me for a while, even in a shack like Zha Zha enjoyed!
That's raunchy!
You don't what? LOL
Y' got it right. The Green Acres spinoff, spun off from Beverly Hillbillies...
This is a great place to have a humor break. I received this today in an e-mail.
It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now
and then - just to loosen up. Inevitably, though, one thought led
to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I
began to think alone - "to relax," I told myself - but I knew it
wasn't true. Thinking became more and more important to me, and
finally I was thinking all the time. That was when things began to
sour at home.
One evening I turned off the TV and asked my wife about the
meaning of life.
She spent that night at her mother's.
I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment
don't mix, but I couldn't help myself. I began to avoid friends at
lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I
would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is
it exactly we are doing here?"
One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you, and
it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real
problem. If you don't stop thinking around here, you'll have to
find another job."
This gave me a lot to think about. I came home early after my
conversation wit h the boss. "Honey," I confessed, "I've been
thinking."
"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!"
"But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she
said, lower lip aquiver. "You think as much as college professors
and college professors don't make any money, so if you keep on
thinking, we won't have any money!"
"That's a faulty syllogism," I said impatiently.
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no
mood to deal with the emotional drama. "I'm going to the library,"
I snarled as I stomped out the door.
I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche. I
roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the
big glass doors. They didn't open. The library was closed. To
this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.
Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra, a
poster caught my eye. "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your
life?" it asked. You probably recognize that line. It comes from
the standard Thinkers Anonymous poster. This is why I am what I am
today:! a recovering thinker.
I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-
educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Next week it's
"Career in Marketing." Then we share experiences about how we
avoided thinking since the last meeting.
I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life
just seemed . . . easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking.
I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.
Today I took the final step . . . . . . . . . . . . I joined the
Democrat Party
Levin tonight ixnayed McCain and Rudy...Who get the poll numbers. Allen is kaput.
Where is our Gandalf to save the day?
LMAO! I forgot it even had a song till you said that.
Now we can not only be depressed over this election, we can have these dumb ash jingles stuck in our head for a day or two!
