Alright all, it’s 3am I’m off to a bath and hopefully to sleep. I broke the major rule of jet lag and took a “nap” this afternoon from 3pm to 9:30pm–too bad, because I was almost adjusted to the time. Anyway, I’ll be on more often I’m sure–catch up soon. Happy Friday!

I also just called John Boehner’s office and I’m pretty sure it was actually HIM I spoke to! The man who answered wouldn’t give me his name and the voice was dead on–how absolutely satisfying to express my views about his “participation” in the health care debate…

Thanks, HB! I spent the summer in beautiful Colorado where I decided to enjoy fresh air, exercise, family, and peace of mind–the latter entailed a break from news, blogs, etc. I didn’t manage to avoid them altogether, but I was on the equivalent of a political starvation diet, which I’m promptly breaking upon returning to Russia.

Good to see you, rodent of the near-Russian wilds … hope to catch your next pop-in.

Back in the primaries when the burfer thing first surfaced, my sister was a believer. I still haven’t been able to ask her about it for fear I would laugh i face. Bless her heart.

I have several GOPs in my family too, some of whom have held quite high positions in government; however, I’m happy to say while I don’t agree with them politically, they’re not neocons or wackos–they’re more Reagan conservatives.

No kidding. She does have a strong Russian accent, although she’s Moldovan, I think–was all USSR though at that time. In any case, it’s hard to resist pointing that out, although she has the right to be as stupid and vocal as she wants, I guess. I fault the media even more than her though since they LOVE to cover people like her.

Yeah, that was a trip. Especially since I have GOP’s in my family. I was holding my breath for fear we would have a fight.
