\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Business a usual in D.C.\u00c2\u00a0– These idiots just don’t get it!!!! Enough with the idiotic pork-barrel stuff. The stimulus package is so full of bullshit, it’s drawing flies. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) cannot possibly stimulate the economy. Support for STD treatment cannot either. Both these could be considered worthy causes in a time of prosperity, but now is not that time. Obama already trimmed out the ludicrous\u00c2\u00a0mall resodding project and the equally inane contraceptive funding, but there is still way too much pork and not enough direct action.\u00c2\u00a0We need money to\u00c2\u00a0support infrastructure projects which will put people to work. If a proposal will not add\u00c2\u00a0a substantial\u00c2\u00a0number of jobs, it should be scrapped. Congress is whining about Wall Street not listening to the people when they’re just as deaf. STOP THE PORK!!!! (Clear enough?)<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 Winter – 9″ of snow this week. I’m so in need of a warm day or two. Now that I have a ragtop waiting for me, the winter days are dragging by endlessly.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Dad\u00c2\u00a0continues to improve.\u00c2\u00a0– Today they had him standing up\u00c2\u00a0straight (with a little help) and next week he’ll start learning to walk again using parallel bars. The docs are amazed at his progress, but we’re not. He’s a determined man. Always has been.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
