Jan 2013

AGAIN I have the long-yearned-for pleasure of realizing that FINALLY - I. AM. Actually. Getting. My. Money's. Worth.!

Pleases me GREATLY to see how our President is stepping up to the plate - on so many issues I care about! Especially the ones, like this, that have been ignored for FAR too long. Give it some of that Presidential Punch, dear Commander-in-Chief!

VERY nice to see this! Elections sure do have consequences, don't they? And for FAR too long, it's been all the wrong ones. That "hopey-changey thing" is actually working out rather nicely for us, I think!
