Happy New Year, everybody. It seems the same challenges to us, our lives, liberty,pursuit of happiness and the things we all hold to be self evident and true,are going to be still challenged (by the challenged), but hang in there and don't give up. As I sit here writing this, the B-1 bomber just flew over on its way east from the Pasadena Rose Parade, I walked outside and looked up and saw it, what an awesome sight. I went back in and left the TV off, since we now have an openly bi sexual rose queen with glasses who acts like she or it represents some great breakthrough or something, so I don't care to watch. Some years back they had a gay wedding performed on a float live for the world to see, and since I am tolerant and don't really care what people do in their private lives, I didn't watch that,either. Why does the vile stench of politics have to contaminate every social institution,stealing every opportunity to try to dictate societal policy? There should be some kind of inert ground where we can find space to relax and enjoy the day without having this kind of leftist bilge insult our intelligence like this.
