Spring is Here!

Well it looks like Spring is finally here to stay in Michigan. The trees are budding, the tulips and daffodils are in full bloom, and the smell of dog poo is in the air. Ah, Spring. Time to get out my super-duper pooper-scooper and clean up the yard. Luckily, tomorrow looks to be a bright, sunny Spring day.

Spring and Fall have always been my favorite times of the year. Fall colors, the smell of burning leaves, the holidays just around the corner. I love the moderate temperatures most of all. Not that they are all the moderate anymore. Thanks to Bush 1 & 2, the US does not believe that global warming even exists. So, of course, we are not doing anything about it, because it doesn't exist. See how that works? It's called Republican logic. It exists on its own little plane, separate from real logic.

I was thinking the other day, where will I be able to go to feel safe. Still can't think of where a person could run and hide and not be affected by this weather. North, south, east, west, all have their own unique climate challenges. Maybe they will open a hotel on the moon soon, we could all go there and hang out. That way we can see how this all comes out, from a distance.

Then there is Bush's foreign policy. If Iraq wasn't bad enough, now he wants to keep the nuclear option on the table when dealing with Iran. Or as Mr. Bush would say, the nu-cu-lar option. How did we end up with this moron in the White House? It has to do with the polarization of the electorate. The right-wing base will never not support him, no matter what he does. As long as he is with them on the social issues, he will always get that hard-core base to vote for him. It doesn't matter how many former aides, or generals, or CIA agents tell us what an idiot he is on foreign policy, he's got that base. Scary.

Not to mention his arrogance. Actually, the arrogance of his whole administration. Between Rumsfeld and Gonzales, the smug alerts must be going off all the time in the White House. When will Bush realize that he is only a president, not a king?

You may have noticed that I have added some local GLBT news to my site. Between the Lines newspaper is one of our best sources for local gay news in metro Detroit. Check it out.
