I know I will be violating protocol with such a short diary but sometimes it is better to serve the purpose at large with brevity. Two guys who right now I could kiss have an ingenious plan simple so simple a six figure engineering teem from BP missed it ALL ALONG>

UPDATE; up since four am heavy labor ten hours in the sun I am shot and need a shower. FOR THE NAYSAYERS> stop. honestly if you have that defeatist attitude lay down and die already. This country was not built like that. In the years that pass will you remember trying anything that could work or saying sorry too big game over? WHere is your fight I wonder what happened tpo your spirit?

We are a nation of doers- we exceed goals thrive on challenge and have the most incredible rescources in our selves, resources that far outshine our prodigious lands. It is not enough that
we know this, without acting upon this knowledge we are lost.

Hi it is a shorter than prefered journal I know..please be gentle with me
I suspect there are a few like me who frankly just find them selves at a loss for words during the course of the day, or like me just occassionaly tearing up at the thought of what just occurred and how the world has cheered.

I was walking down the street on my way to the Obama headquaters when a lovely lady in a VW bug was requesting directions from a fellow Tampanian. I noticed the local was confused so I offered to help and the driver said said "dont tell me tell Senator Nelson over there!" Sure enough the gentleman to my left was indeed Sen Nelson.

Hello and good morning/afternoon dear Kossacks. So What follows is what appears to be an ad for distinguished journalist wanna be Limbaughs to hack up some prose while thinking of a hot date with Ann Coulter. I see a lot of listings on Craigslist and really really enjoy the irony of the ultra conservative reach out on a site where you can get a meet up with some fellow wide stance enthusiasts. I gotta wonder about how this all went about...while purusing the casual encounter/erotic services..uh real estate listings.. the idea of this ad came about perhaps? My taking the day off because I 'm a slacker commie liberal mind wants to know. It's all my fault apparently I at least have been educated on that talking point..bombs. economy. for profit wars. all the liberals fault. bad bad liberal.
Regardless I thought I would share the brief open minded posting of one of our local nut jobs, though it does not in anyway reflect on the people of Tampa THEY are cool this one however does represent a vocal minority that still exists around here.

Because standing in 120 degree heat having to shit in a pail and having no running water is not enough to make you grateful enough for your liberation, now there is the US backed Disneyland for Iraq. Batshit, that's the phrase de jur these days on Kos, no?Not that asking the whitehouse would do any good as to why this insane other wordly schizo thought process could of possibly come into fruition.

why am I not surprised..and all apologies if posted earlier today as I burned my eyes out painting my house in the Floridian sun..which is why I am posting this pretty much verbatim from AP out of laziness/ spots in my vision and now my Proust like run on sentence minus the literary genius part shall now end.
You know I just could not come up with the list of screw ups, embarrassments and gaffs the Republican party seems to generate the last three years if I were under contract for a book. I cant even recall them all, widestance gate etc. My dad - a long time GOP supporter just shakes his head and says it disgusts him, the fools on the hill. HE calls them criminals which if you knew him you would be shocked to hear it. this is a serious, quiet, conservative new england yankee republican folks (voted 2xs for Dubya..{slow deep breath..})and I'm calling him my canary in the coal mine. I expect a blow out I honestly do. Stuff like the following only help fuel the fallout.

SO surprising . WE brought the chemicals in and (possibly) used them according to a 2000 page leak from inside the government. Someone with a heart actually stood up and sent in this document of insanity and I wonder who will report it? Pardon me if I missed any mention of it on tv I don't really watch that much anymore. Some items of scrutiny as mentioned on the site wikileak.org are the number of bulk cash counters shipped to Iraq (39) amounts of cash missing ( 9 billion. Bill Eeee Oonn.) and this little item I lifted directly from the site;
"Friday November 9, 2007

Wikileaks exclusive investigative report.

The United States has been caught with at least 2,386 low-grade chemical weapons deployed in Iraq. The items appear in a spectacular 2,000 page leak of nearly one million items of US military equipment deployed in Iraq given to the government transparency group Wikileaks. The items are labeled under the military's own NATO supply classification Chemical weapons and equipment. "
