Morning AB, All,
Nothing majorly new here this week. Garage door is fixed and hey, I seriously did NOT know that Abstainance on Ash Wednesday meant I couldn't have sex.
Heh. Well it means you can't eat meat but damn that's not the more normal use of that word. The church bulletin said we must abstain on Ash Wednesday and my loyal Catholic self planned to do just that. Though I really wondered why on earth God would care if I made love to my husband, heh.
Husband, not a Catholic, reluctantly bought into the notion that there would be no sex on Ash Wednesday but he really thought the idea of my giving up sex for Lent to be very stupid. Lent lasts 40 days, heh. "Bullshit" was how he phrased it.
Moving on to politics, I am so mad. There was a time when the idea of a U.S. congress actually voting against a military action of the Commander in Chief, be it "non-binding" or not, would be considered an act of treason.
And don't forget, mine one and only Rep in the House of Reps (Delaware being one of the few states with ONE Rep and TWO senators) also voted FOR that non-binding resolution.
And HE'S a REPUBLICAN!
I speak of Mike Castle. My monthly Repub Women's Club meeting is coming up soon and I am going to lambaste Mike Castle. I say he should vote how he wants but he should become a damn DEMOCRAT! Why are the pubbies financing this guy?
Pat, I agree. I e-mailed "General" Castle and told him that I had voted for him everytime, but it will be a cold day in hell when I vote for him again.
I did the singles thread this weekend on Shrove Tuesday and posted a couple of pancake recipes as we call this Pancake Day in Britain as well as Shrove Tuesday.

Good Bye Senator Coleman.
Dear Senator Coleman;
As a Republican and a Minnesotan, I have supported your campaigns with my time, my money and my votes. Every time you have asked, I have given you the maximum legal contribution. You ended that today. By selling us out to pander to people who WILL NEVER support you on an absolutely WORTHLESS US Senate Iraq Resolution, you crossed a political line that simply CANNOT be crossed. When you put your own political future in front of your duty as a US Senator, you showed us you are unfit for the office you hold.
Leadership requires courage, not mindless pandering to polls. You failed that test of Leadership today Senator. I WILL NEVER be coming back to support you. NEVER. The Minnesota GOP put up with a awful lot of "maverick" behavior from you Senator but today you simply manuevered yourself right out of a job.
