Why NOT to read the news first thing in the morning

[krislaughs]

UGH.

Just reading about the House spending bill, taking resources from children, child-prevention, and the earth, and putting it in the hands of people who want to cut off mountaintops and kill our native rivers as well as to recruit all those undereducated boys to the army at NASCAR events... About Wisconsin governors who want to return to the preunion glory days of 'Newsies' (maybe they think the un- and under-employed masses in this country will burst into song a la Glee)

Makes. Me. Want. To. Gag. On. A. Spoon.

Or move to Australia. This country has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Yeah, I am doing exactly the same thing and having exactly the same reaction. It's kind of ironic that J. just got his citizenship, because I am ready to give up mine...

I know, right? I have no problem with America, just with a vast majority of Americans...

Seriously, you guys need horse vets down there, yeah?

[mellaithwen]

sure! I'll put in a good word when I'm over there in the summer :D

My town has 12 vets for a population of 800 people (and lots and lots of cows)! You'd never be out of a job!

*damn* Really?

(Sadly, one of the reasons I'm job-hunting is to get away from the cows-- to do more horses, plus a spattering of small animal general)

I vote for moving to Australia (even though we might be going to hell in a handbasket, too)!

At least it's warm here a lot? *weak grin*

Nooo!! Stay away from the handbasket of DOOM!

I haven't kept up with the news beyond the last elections. Is your party-in-congressional-power siding with Mumbarak and busting labor unions, too? *sighs*
