I’m one of the first to speak out against the current (soon-to-change-thank-god) US government, but this video really does make me sad. I have little to say positive toward G.W.Bush and have certainly complained about him (often) when really complaining about the actions of many many people… but I don’t think I’d go so far as to refuse to shake his hand. I mean, he’s still a person.
On the otherhand, I myself have toyed with the idea of considering him a mass murderer… so from that perspective, I wouldn’t want to shake his hand or be in the same room with him.
One sunny day in 2009 an old man approached the White House
from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he’d been sitting on a
park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and
said, ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.’
The Marine looked at the man and said, ‘Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer
president and no longer resides here.’
The old man said, ‘Okay, thank you’ and walked away.
I just created a handy little script to create todos in basecamp for unresovled tickets in mantis.
You can see the open sourced code/project: http://code.google.com/p/mantis2basecamp-todo/.
This is something we found useful, if you use both tools, you might find it useful as well.
I’ve finally processed and uploaded the photos from my camera. We’ve got new ones from september, october, and november. Most are of Poppy, but not all of them. Some great halloween photos, some camping, and many other occasions where the camera was brought out.
You can see some on the homepage of this site, or poke around flickr at: http://flickr.com/photos/zeroasterisk/
I feel like I should have something profound to say. I’ve been a supporter since I picked up one of his books and have grown more so as I’ve found out more and more about Obama and his family and views and campaign.
We watched the results at our friend’s house and were ready to cry together, but thankfully we didn’t have to. After the last two presidential elections, I was pessimistic and ready to be disappointed – when Obama won I really had to do a couple of reality checks.
