A few thoughts that have occupied my mind over the past couple of weeks:

How soon do you think it'll be before "The Simpsons" do a Glenn Beck reference on the blackboard in the opening credits?

It's quite a thing to hear the decision striking down Prop 8 in California, then turning the channel and seeing one Georgia GOP gubernatorial candidate attack another for supporting a center for gay youth.

It's still another to hear that supposedly gay friendly candidate totally dismiss her earlier support as just politics.

It's always an odd thing to hear conservative pundits poo-pooh the idea of environmentally conscious vehicles and other Earth-saving solutions for the home, road, and air. Seems like, in addition to the ecological benefits, it could create many, many new jobs here in the US and make beaucoup bucks for the people who institute these technologies. Shouldn't we be encouraging American know-how to solve these problems instead of figuring out how to put an extra large cup holder in next year's Ford Expedition?

I think we are reaching a saturation point of conservatives calling the Obama administration and Congress "socialists" "communists" "subversives" and "Bolsheviks". You can only throw charges like that around for so long before people start to tire of it, and I think that unless GOP congressional leaders present actual alternatives to Democratic proposals, they're going to be rather shocked come November.

The leak has been capped. Hooray! Now, can we clean up the oil on the beaches and honestly determine what's happening to all the spillage at sea?

That's all I've got. Gotta get back to work; have fun and remember to tip your servers!
