Or in my case now...

For taking the dog out for a walk before bed at 11:30pm when I'm bleary eyed and just want to go to sleep so I can get up early enough in the morning to get into work at some resemblance of a decent hour but instead I have to bundle all up and brace myself against the 20-something degree weather and don't forget the plastic bag so that on top of it all I can pick up the dog shit.
....well, at least it's warm (eeewwww!)

I knew there was a good reason to go with cats instead of dogs!!!!! ;)

The Elite

You ever notice how the Republicans like to throw the term "elite" around when referring to liberal-minded people?

It's interesting how skilled they are at describing their opponents in terms that actually apply to themselves.

The Republican Party generally represents the interests of very wealthy and powerful individuals and businesses. A group that makes up perhaps 10% of the population (and I'm being generous with that number). If that's not the definition of Elite, then I've simply been mis-educated on what that word actually means.
