I am not a particularly creative person, and my web-skills are pretty much maxed out by occasionally creating a diary that has links - and even an image from time to time. So - for anybody who wants to be an uber-diarist, come below for a brief little suggestion for you.
What with the passing of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, I got to thinking about the upcoming Christmas holiday season (Oh my, I combined "Christmas" and "holiday" in the same sentence. Will Bill-o's head explode?) and remembering to my childhood when we would have an Advent Calendar at school (in violation of the First Amendment, but what the heck - it was the fifties). Each day we would eagerly wait to see what was behind the window to be opened that day.
So ... that got me to thinking about how we are not only waiting for Obama to take office, but also for Bush to leave. And since we can only fantasize and dream about what Barack will do when he enters office, but know full well what BushCo has done in the past eight years... why not create a "Decessio Calendar" (Decessio being Latin for "leaving" or "withdrawing" - according to my handy-dandy internet English/Latin dictionary).
Now I don't have the talent - but I am sure that there is somebody out there with time on their hands and the right perverse creative drive to create a new little "window" (otherwise known as a "link" or "embed") for us to open each day as we await the departure of the Smirkmeister, with each one being a "window" into the awfulness that has been the past eight years. Just think of all the opportunities! Needless war ... birthday cakes while cities drown ... assualts on the first and fourth amendments (to must mention two), torture ... The list is plenty long for a full Decessio Calendar.
The idea has been tossed out. Go to it my creative friends :-)
