Yay more Waiting !!

Wow- April 26th..... glad I could sneak one in before June. Please be aware that I wrote this while I was .......waiting (geee whiz who'da thunk) for someone to work with me from the NOC.

Here it is; sorry its a couple of days old

Whee; more waiting for me. Well its been a long time hasn’t it?? Sorry I’ve been away, after 6 months I still haven’t developed the discipline to actually schedule a time to sit and write. Oh well, life is hard. Wear a helmet.

Since last time much has happened. Barack has all but secured the nomination. Hillary fights on, in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, staving off the inevitable perhaps as she should. McCain has secure the repugican nomination ago time ago and while not always being under the strictest of spotlights has managed some good gaffs. My favorites, which haven’t been played up by the right wing media nearly so much as it was when it involved a black preacher, is McCain’s courting the endorsements of -2- scary assed white preachers. The first, Hagy, is a proponent of backing Israel and military action against Iran in hopes of bringing on the End Days and encouraging the rapture. Oh, he also directly called catholicism, the "great whore". The second is a man named Parsley. He states that America was founded in the destruction of Islam etc. etc. etc. McCain has actually sought these people out and asked for their endorsement. Endorsements usually involve some sort of payback eventually either stipulated or implied. He also let his health records out; the Fri. before the memorial weekend. 20 reporters that he selected, had 3 hours to review 1100 pages. 9 seconds a page. Initial reviews were that he wasnt going to die tomorrow. Yeah this guy has nothing to hide........Should be a fun summer.

I been building bike regularly for a couple of months now. And more importantly, I’ve been in contact with MOOTS!!!!! I should be able to start the actual build process of the frameset next week (hopefully). 2 months later, I should be able to gaze upon the beauty of a frameset that will always be a better bike than I am a rider.

George Bush in the meantime has done what he has been doing for the last couple years, continuing his war in Iraq, to the benefit of few, mostly his friends, and to the great burden of both the American and Iraqi people. The soldiers obviously are the worst off of this side of the conflict. Long tours, stop loss policy, and under funding post deployment, and veterans support programs seems to be his way of supporting the troops. The Iraqis in the meantime have to live in perpetual violence and horror. Oh yeah; Did I mention that he also vetoed the latest GI Bill that would help our soldiers, not with health care, but move from military service to a further their education and get them out of the non skilled work force and into the ( what is quickly becoming) the minimum starting point for a skilled work force or job. Good times.

F U George. Can you go home early??

239 and counting........
