Yikes, I have spent my day on the deck.

You ask why? Do you live under a rock? The ACC Tournament! Carolina was playing the "Semiholes " for the championship and Jane was about to bust a gut. I mean really. She is ridiculous. The Heels lost but Jane's attitude changed a bit when they got a number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament...phew, I could not take anymore ranting. But, Murray State is a 9 seed and that did set off a bit of a tirade. I hope they lose in the first round just for my sanity. Now I have to listen to all the rambling while she fills out her bracket...she has already determined that Harvard will beat Vanderbilt. Oh well, what can I say, here we go again...she does this every year.

Jane made me post this

First of all Thomas Jefferson gave us the Bill of Rights. Jefferson was a Deist and did not advocate organized religion. He also is the person most responsible for SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! God may have liked the B of R's, but he didn't write them.

Conservatives need to actually read something about Ronald Reagan....the real Ronald Reagan, not the mythical creature that lurks in their mind.  Did not go to church; was a terrible family man...didn't speak to several of his children, didn't see a couple of his grandchildren until they were 3 years old; ran up the highest deficit in history; conducted an illegal war in Nicaragua violating numerous laws and defying the will of Congress; pulled out of Lebanon when 241 American troops were killed when their barracks were bombed; slept through Cabinet meetings; didn't even know that his Secretary of the Treasury and his Chief of Staff had changed jobs.

Love the earrings on the left girl.

And they didn't even leave the TV on!

So Pat and Jane leave yesterday afternoon to go to Chapel Hill and find a place to watch the Dook/Carolina game. The last one caused such a trauma with Rivers' (now referred to as Stream by Jane) final shot and I was really hoping that I would not have to listen to all the gnashing of teeth again. Now here is my gripe...Jane almost always leaves the television on when she leaves so I will not feel so alone; not this time. Just shut the thing off and go. I missed THE game. They come home screaming and yelling, whooping and making fun of the poor, pitiful performance that played out in Cameron Indoor by Dook. I just stared at them in disbelief with my beautiful brown eyes. Day after day I am left to endure the MSNBC drivel about the radicalization of the Republican Party, nothing but dark silence last night.

Thank goodness they were not the oldest people in Kildares again and evidently, if you believe them, their age group was fairly well represented on Franklin Street.

Jane, you ignorant slut

Okay, you have to know that when screaming goes on I retreat to the landing on the stairs (I used to go upstairs and get under the bed, but noooo, there is now a gate that blocks me. Jane said she was sick of me butt skidding on the carpet up there), Evidently some cretin (not my word) has called a poor Georgetown law student a slut and a prostitute just because she wants her insurance company to pay for contraceptives. This unfortunate three day attack on the poor woman has ignited a major screaming fit in front of the TV. And that's not all, Jane is signing petitions, writing emails, and swearing to never use products that advertise on the cretin's radio show. Of course she has no idea what those products are because she never listens to the cretin.

By the way, I butt skidded behind the door in Jane and Pat's room the other day...put a gate on that lady.
