    hummm? I'm not one to get into this " gratitude" bullshit and think the whole meaning of the holidays is a crock of shit, but ...

    I guess I can be grateful for obama , and I've got nothing against hillary really . and yeah, grateful for joan walsh, a femnist writer whom tells the news like it is, unlike the " fair and balanced" FOX news folks, most commercial others too.

    I mean we could have had the Concerned Women for America president wendy williams' dream come true if " Maverick-reformer" Mc Jackass and especially " Mrs. Governor Sarah MooseCherry ; were both elected! a dream in which both wendy williams, pat robertson, and james dobson would be the true elected officials in charge!

    maybe now those " free grants" from the small business administration would be more available after jan 20, 2009? as right now I could use some of that ebeneezer scrooge " holiday spirit" from all of P.T. Barnum's "suckers[ shoppers] born every minute " coming in!
