OK… I can't be the only one…

First thank you SO MUCH to all of you who have left comments! I’m enjoying this immensely! And I’m also BLINDINGLY close to 1000 comments on this wordpress iteration of my blog, so I’ll offer a prize for that too 😀 Keep those motivational poster captions coming though. This is so much fun!

Have any of you watched the press conference President Bush put on today (that link is to the transcript)? This pisses me off to NO END!

This morning I also spoke with the Democrats. I spoke with Senators Reid and Durbin. I congratulated them on running a strong campaign in the Senate. And I told them that, regardless of the final outcome, we can work together over the next two years.

I also congratulated Congresswoman Pelosi and Congressman Hoyer. They ran a disciplined campaign. Their candidates were well organized and did a superb job of turning out their votes.

I told Congresswoman Pelosi that I looked forward to working with her and her colleagues to find common ground in the next two years.

As the majority party in the House of Representatives, they recognize that in their new role they now have greater responsibilities.

And in my first act of bipartisan outreach since the election, I shared with her the names of some Republican interior decorators who can help her pick out the new drapes in her new offices.

WTF! Because she’s a woman her first concern should be the DRAPES in her new office? I am 100% certain that had the Democratic speaker of the House been a man, he wouldn’t not have mentioned drapes, let alone mentioned drapes in his OFFICIAL PRESS CONFERENCE! What an asshole!

Also, I didn’t realize it until today, but all this stuff that seems so far away in Washington hit home today. My supervisor told me that having the House in the hands of the Democrats basically insured the funding for his long-term research project. Something that would have had a 50% chance of getting funded, now has a 90% chance of getting funded.
