In case you’re wondering where I have been for the past 48 hours, I’ve been busy.

Silver Democrats of Fort Bend has a headquarters and an Obama Shop up and running in the city of Rosenberg.

We did it all in Texas heat with no air conditioning so it could be ready for today’s meeting at the new headquarters.  We got the air conditioner working at about 11:00 so that meant we quit growling at each other about noon.

A few of us stayed around afterwards basking in the fact that we have a headquarters with wifi and a kitchen.  What else do you need?

Silver Democrats are all over the age of 55 and we are one damn fine looking group of people.  We had about 40 people at our meeting this morning and then a hunk of us all went to lunch together.

We start getting serious about this stuff in the middle of August so we wanted a place to call home before the cavalry shows up to kick hiney and take names.

Political prognosticators say that my county will be the first suburban county in Texas to flip.  Once it does – Barack Obama got 49% of the vote here in 2008 – Texas begins flipping.  Once Texas flips, game over.

I’m good tired, have about a gazillion emails to read, and need to get some laundry done before my whole house smells like the boys’ locker room.

That’s where I’m been.  Like I said, it’s a good tired.

The difference between Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin? Lipstick.

The White House announces that Israel is the next stop on the Romney’s Re-elect Obama 2012 Tour.

Many are concerned about Romney being a Mormon; now the second m seems irrelevant.

Can Mitt Romney retroactively cancel his trip to London?

When Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen tells me that something is a big freekin’ deal, I tend to believe him.  However, I could be blind and deaf and see that this is a BFD.

A stunning about-face by one of Wall Street’s trailblazers is emboldening lawmakers who have long called for breaking up the nation’s largest banks.

Sanford Weill, the former chairman and CEO of Citigroup, shocked the financial sector and its critics Wednesday, when he publicly called for the breakup of big banks to ensure the end of “too big to fail.”

Really?  Really, big banks?  You developed a conscience?

But Weill’s comments carry added weight because they come from a man who initially led the charge on creating gargantuan banking systems. Under Weill’s watch, the bank Citicorp merged with the financial firm Travelers Group to become Citigroup — a move that ushered in a new era of Wall Street giants and helped press Congress to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act.

This just ain’t a big freekin’ deal.  This is a miracle act of God big freekin’ deal.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen who personally invented the Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate Blizzard.

Mitt, Mitt, Mitt.

You’ve already started a war and you’re not even the nominee yet.

It’s “the middle of nowhere” vs. “There were a few things that were disconcerting.”

Romney had to walk back his prissy remark about how the Brits didn’t do this Olympic stuff as well as he did.  You know how Republicans say that President Obama is always apologizing for America (even though he doesn’t)?  Hey, at least Mitt Romney would only have to apologize for himself … over and over and over again.

Cripes – he’s George Bush in a better suit.

Thanks to everybody for heads up.
