Anyone else prefer rainy weather over sunny weather?

For as long as I can remember, I've always liked rainy weather. I find it comforting and soothing, and I like the whole atmosphere of it. I like some of the more introverted activities, such as playing video games, surfing the Web, or working out at home, and this type of weather gets me in the mood for those things. Also I find it easier to sleep at night when it is cold, and I never have to worry about sweating randomly like when it's warm outside.

On the other hand, I never did care for sunny days that much. Unlike many other people, I actually find them a little depressing and boring. They're depressing for me whenever I have nowhere to go one day, and because I really don't have anybody to hang out with outside anymore (I lost contact with all my high school friends). Plus it becomes monotonous to me whenever there is more than 2-3 weeks of sunny weather. During this type of weather, I'm just waiting for either nighttime or rain.

On the eve of MSNBC's Bush ll documentary, I want to spread this video:

For anyone who doesn't get it, this is a parody that the Boondocks did of Bush ll lying about the war and the existence of WMDs.

Message to Republican Pundits and Radio Talkers

Dear Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Nugent, and the rest of the RW media,

First of all, I want to congratulate you on a job well done in convincing about 47% of Americans to support regressive social and fiscal policies this past election cycle. It never ceases to amaze me how you guys (since 1980) have been able to persuade millions of working-class and middle-income Americans to support lower taxes for a small handful of citizens, at the expense of services that are designed to help millions of people who struggle to make ends meet.

However, since your party decisively lost the last presidential election, there is no need to continue trying to drag Pres. Obama's name through the gutters. He was re-elected decisively and is here to stay for 4 more years, so you can stop scaring your viewers and listeners with lies about him wanting to ban all guns, being a foreigner, a communist, a fascist, and comparing him to Hitler and Stalin (two people who happened to be on opposite sides of the ideological spectrum). How about you propose some decent ideas for a change, that will actually help a wider array of people than just the Monopoly Men of society? Enough fear-mongering.

Sincerely,
Jamaal510

Right-Wing Related Question

Can someone here tell me exactly what policies the Right offers that are actually more beneficial to the country as a whole? I could be wrong, but so far, all I have seen from their side of the spectrum are stances in favor of the elite at the expense of everyone else. They have opposed the auto bailout, the troop withdrawal, women's right to choose, same-sex marriage, secularism, progressive taxes, public sector job growth, unions, entitlements, and their side believes that global warming is nonexistent. Furthermore, while job growth was at about 24M under Republican presidents the past few decades, job growth under Democratic presidents has been about 42M, plus the deficit is shrinking under our current administration.
Much of the media makes it out as if both sides of the spectrum are equally valid, but I have yet to see the other side be correct on ANY major issue thus far. I understand that there is a need for a functional 2-party system, but what do Republicans (and the Right-wing in general) have to offer the country besides impediments to progressivism?
