(dying a horrible death on Daily Kos)

NOTE: After reading yesterday’s C&J, I decided to embargo this until today. Obviously, I originally intended to post this at 11 ET yesterday morning…but I couldn’t make myself do it. I just COULDN’T be a buzzkill on that Day of Days.

One hour from now, Barack Hussein (and f you if you don’t like it) Obama will drop the “elect” from his title, and become the 44th President of the United States.

We’ve worked like hell to get to this point, kids. We’ve tangled with Republicans in general as well as “birthers”, PUMAs, racists, Paultards, Fox News, Larry Johnson, (oh wait. I already said PUMAs. But he’s special. He’s a FloBee PUMA.) and on and on and on.

But more importantly, and more to the point, to reach the point at which we arrive in One. Fricking. HOUR……we’ve gone through eight years of hell.

And THAT, my friends, is the point of this dairy.

And I’m here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It’s not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

Sub folda.

Could any SFKossack out there pretend to have asked for a solar consultation from me?

Here's the situation: I've been looking for work; selling solar power.

It's really a long shot (I'm some old lady with only an Art School education). Finally I found a company but the interview failed to convince them that I could do it. They referred me to the PG&E solar training.

At my first PG&E class last week the woman who sat next to me was a SF resident who wanted a solar consultation and I took her name and email down – and emailed the solar company back and offered the lead in return for a demo of how a solar consultation should look, at her site.

Amazingly, this morning they actually emailed me back that in return for my “soft lead” they would show me how to do a consultation professionally. (The commission would have gone to my trainer, who would be a guy from the company) and actually renewed the possibility that I could start working for them, based on this one contact.

Woohoo!!! Right?

I then found I had lost my PG&E colleagues contact info.

“I’m not prepared to vote on Holder. I’m meeting with him tomorrow,” ranking committee Republican Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania said at midday. He said he still has additional questions he wants answered .

Sen. John Cornyn , R-Texas, said he and other committee Republicans want Holder to answer follow-up questions they posed after his Jan. 15 confirmation hearing before the committee. Among them are questions about the possibility of future criminal prosecutions of U.S. personnel involved in the interrogation of terror suspects and the potential impact on intelligence gathering.

No one could have anticipated…..

How long will post-partisanship last with the R’s obstructing every move?

Apparently Leahy and The Spineless One are having words.  

“Bottom line, he got elected, didn’t he” (warning, toxic freeper link)

He did get elected but that’s not the bottom line, merely an indicator that 53% of the USA is anti American. The atrocity isn’t Obama, the atrocity is the American people.

We need better math teachers!

In other news…

 The new administration of U.S. President Barack Obama has verbally ordered the prosecution to seek a 120-day adjournment in war-crimes cases at Guantanamo Bay.

   A commissions spokesman says the order was made through Secretary of Defence Robert Gates. The prosecution has filed a motion with the military commission in the case of Canadian Omar Khadr and those of the men accused of plotting the 9-11 attacks.

BREAKING: White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel stops Bush’s last-minute regs. Emanuel signs a memorandum ordering all agencies and departments to stop all pending regulations until a legal and policy review can be conducted by the Obama administration.

So far so good, for us the anti-American American majority.

Good thing for us liberal whiners that we have SO much Bush Legacy still to chew on, or we might run out of things to whine about! Har. Remember when we used to debate stuff like education and rights for the disabled instead of ……….torture?

24 hours or so into a new administration and dammit, I have yet to find anything to Yell Louder about! A President of the United States…..is doing things I approve of! Weird.

Soon, perhaps, if things keep going so well, we can get down to some REAL criticism of Obama on substantive issues like this!

No Grateful Dead?

Impeach!

Dude, Wazzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap:

 

A new thread has dawned.
