An Amusing Message Sent to Me on Accident

Cell Phone

I received an anonymous voicemail once. I think the person was drunk or spoke English very poorly but the person was leaving a very nice message for someone and I know it wasn't me. He must have gotten his digits crossed or something.

I’m sure the GOP is really questionin­g their earlier judgment in embracing the tea party these days. These tea party representa­tives are not playing by the rules of the old guard, where everyone was on the same page. I guess on the day the tea party freshmen were sworn in, they didn’t read the fine print in the GOP handbook. These tea party activist representa­tives need to be taken down a peg or two, their vision for America does not work at all. If they want government to be reduced to the size it was in the 1960’s they need to go find a swath of land where they could all colonize, call home and live life like it was 1960 and leave us alone so that we can rebuild and reinvest in our country to make it ready for the 21st century that is going to pass us by if we don’t get moving.

Tea Party To Republicans: ‘Hold The Line’ Against Debt Ceiling Deal, Bring Back ‘Cut, Cap And Balance’ (PHOTOS)

It galls me to no end all the theatrics over a balanced budget from the GOP and the tea party folk. The democrats under Clinton gave them budgetary surpluses and what did they do with them? They squandered those surpluses, they used those surpluses to party like it was 1999, “let’s give out tax cuts”, let’s keep pushing deregulati­on of the financial industry, Robert Rubin helped start the tide, it can’t be bad. Let’s just finance the two wars to our future generation­s, we don’t have to raise taxes for the war effort like the good old days, heck we just lowered them. Wouldn’t that make us look stupid. I could go on but the point is that the GOP has a lot to answer for and they have no right to hold our economy over the fire like they are doing right now. President Obama needs to blow out the fire and take the air out of their sails by declaring the debt ceiling unconstitu­tional and proceed with business as usual.

What would it take to get you to move?

It would take a forklift to get me out of my house. I recently wrote that my house is my present day-dream house, so it would have to be something huge, something earth shattering, to get me to leave, let alone pack. Oh, to think of packing again, now that is a whole other issue. It was the year 1994, the year my daughter was born. That year, we moved three times and I mean packing everything, three different times, in the space of one year. I had a new baby, a toddler and we got a puppy in the midst of all the craziness. That fact alone is a humongous factor in my steadfast refusal to ever move again. If we ever get the future dream house in the southwest of France, we will be purchasing everything brand new over there because I refuse to pack this house up and ship it. The children can use this house while their father and I enjoy our new dream house in France. I think that would be very fair for everyone.
