Things have changed ………..
Annette | April 7, 2009
And they have changed for the better.
Remember when Chimpy Fucknuts met the Queen of England?
The Queen was overheard, as the photo below was taken, saying to Chimpy, “Let’s get this straight – you’re never coming back here, right?”
And now we are represented all over the world by these beautiful people………….
Today ………………
Annette | April 7, 2009
I had the distinct and memorable pleasure of telling my friend Tony that the Vermont legislature had overridden the governor’s veto of the gay marriage bill, and that wonderful New England state had become the fourth state in the country to legalize marriage for everyone.
He made a grand sound, one that I’ll never forget. [...]
It’s so nice ……………….

not to be embarrassed or ashamed when our President goes abroad. Watching the reception the Obamas are getting in London, I am cheered – even though Gil is there, battling his way through the G20 demonstrations, I fear – by the way they are being embraced.
I am so proud of them.

my beloved Gil went to work at the high school where he teaches kids English.

He said, “An abandoned gas station in Kalamazoo never looked so good.
“Gone the next morning, but it was enough.”
Good manners

If we are properly raised, we understand and applaud the practice of thank-you notes. The proper kind, personalized and timely. We are nothing but Bush partisans without good manners.
Today, we got a thank-you note.
Waking up in a different America this morning,
Annette | November 5, 2008
I felt like I’d had ‘way too much to drink, but, in fact, there’d been no drinking at all. It was just the headiness of the events of the night before, the day before, the year before. All of it came together at 11:04 pm last night when CNN said, “Barack Obama is [...]
My home commonwealth went for Obama,
Annette | November 5, 2008
my adopted Commonwealth of Virginia went for Obama, adding yet another Democratic Senator, no less.
