Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

I have been skiing all morning, but


Cold up here today. Love it, love that chill, but hate that stupid green logo for a macho ski area. Anyway, this is worth posting while I take a beer break to warm my fingers and toes: House Votes to Repeal “Job-Killing” Health Care Law 236-181.


It will go nowhere, with the Senate and the O's veto gel pen. Still, a strong message.



Hey - big par-tay here tonite. Readers invited, with toga or thong or whatever. Release those inhibitions! That is your News Junkie, down in front, locked and loaded.

NJ -

I only had one question when I finished your post:

"Does that come in mural size?"

looks like a faculty party at Berkeley in the 1970's. Of course those gals are all tenured now--so probably no more parties like that--well then again . . .

"It will go nowhere, with the Senate and the O's veto gel pen. Still, a strong message."

No, it will just reaffirm Obama and the left in their superiority and their knowledge that they can do whatever they want.
And of course anything that goes wrong from now on they will blame on the "rightwing radicals in the House who block our attempts to fix the economy/whatever".

Waiting on a follow up on the party last night. You should be up by now.
