Climb time

Had an energizing climbing workout with my dear friend who's going to see a surgeon this week. Fun to put cares away and throw ourselves into it.
Started Angela Carter's last novel, Wise Children; another wild ride lies ahead. If she were alive today, she would be bubbling over with fierce amusement at the latest sex scandal in D.C. What a bunch of wankers. Oh, we already knew that. Oddly, this may be what nails them, something that in the greater world is meaningless, unless you are a fundamentalist hypocrite.

There would be a certain poetic justice if the fundamentalists turned their backs on the republicans because of a sex scandal. It's the kind of thing that would make me grin all day long. OTOH, these people managed to live with Ted Haggard and Mark Foley. So, there's no telling how hypocritical they'll turn out to be.

Yeah, they seem to be coated with extra slippery stuff, those repubs...

What's a little sex with professional hookers? Surely even a fundamentalist can appreciate the needs of professional politicians, considering their demanding hours. It's not like they had relations with an intern, for goodness' sake...

Sincerely,

Republican Apologist Extraordinaire

The latest hypocrite was Bush's AIDS czar, who lied about the effectiveness of condoms, mfm, and pushed abstinence. For your information, I thought Clinton was a fuckwit for messing about with Monica Lewinsky. Abuse of power, stupid ass move. BUT - He didn't lie us into an utterly unnecessary, expensive and deadly situation in Iraq. So knock off with this stupid apologizing for the GOP. There's absolutely no comparison.
Perhaps you are profiting from Iraq?

The climb sounds splendid! Do you ever climb in Ballard? We keep our boat dry-stacked near the Lockspot Cafe. Fish & Chips, anyone?

No time for smutty politics here. I have a new grandson to meet!

Our son sets routes for that gym by the Lockspot, Babette. Congrats on your grandson. Glad you have a way to ignore politics.
