The Prez makes $400K per year. Even if Bush saved every cent of his pay, he's have to be in office 9.25 years to afford that house. Which begs the question: where'd he get money?
Will those of you Christians who are NOT vile, ignorant, dangerous, obnoxious crazies *please* stand up all together and tell the ones who ARE to SHUT THE FUCK UP?
I live in Dallas and all I can say after google mapping their new residence: UH UH, living west of the tollway??? No respectable Dallas snob lives WEST of the tollway.
You're right, Megan. Everything has pissed me off today. I began my day writing an editorial for my local paper on the expanded "right of conscience" rule that is going to be put in place by HHS, before Obama gets into office. This allows for even more discrimination against women - abortion, contraception, and medical procedures.
Now, to read that dismal ignoranus Huckabee spouting off, along with Rick Warren?
I'm so angry I can hardly see straight. To quote a famous Canadian, "If I had a rocket launcher, some sonofabitch would die."
Please, please enlighten me. Exactly where DOES the Bible tell us to attack Iran? You've said many times that we should follow the Word literally so I'm sure you've read a page that says, specifically, that God wants the UNITED STATES to attack Iran. I've always missed this section. I'm assuming it is right next to the passage that says we should observe the Sabbath on Sunday instead of Saturday and civil rights should not be for all.
I really liked the part where Laura Bush said they were spending their Xmas money on the house. Wow. I totally support presidents being well-off and sound financially for the rest of their lives, even bad ones I guess. But they were rich already, so it's not like they really NEED the money. Still, the job should come with some kind of financial perk, as much as it pains me to admit it.
However, I just feel all kinds of bad jealous when I hear someone flippantly say they are spending just their Xmas $ on a huge mansion, which is not their first or even second domicile.
Meanwhile I'm trying to pull together a meager Xmas that is probably going to look a lot like the Xmas mentioned in Little House in the Big Woods (everyone gets a pair of new mittens, an orange, a stick of candy, and a penny. And you'll like it.), because MY Xmas budget is $0. I'm not even kidding.
I know jealousy isn't healthy, but I can't help it.
@LadyFabulous: oh Tim Horton's how I miss thee and thy double double (drink of choice) and Timbits to keep me warm and sate my hunger during the drive to Georgian Bay.....
@Scout: Aww, see now you've got me going on the Timbits and double-double train.
Somehow, we'd always manage to fit at least three Timmies stops in between Toronto and Owen Sound. I miss the Bruce. I mean, London is great and all, but geez, sometimes I'd sell my damn soul for a chocolate dip and a decent coffee. I really would.
Is the part of the Bible that says to bomb Iran before or after the part that says you can make billions off spreading the word of the lord even if those you make it from often can't afford health insurance?
Two houses? One for Secret Service? No puede ser. One house for Little Lord Pissypants, one for Laura. That's how I'd plan it out if I were her, but thank goodness I'm not. Also, S W A N K neighborhood.
I miss my home state, but this is another reason I'm happy to be in the Pacific NW.
