It rained in my neck of the woods shortly thereafter.
But we could use some now, I can tell you.
You know what they call drought in Texas?
Summer.
you guys misplaced your prayers.
it has been overcast with occasional showers for a few days here. which is good, as my lawn was turning brown.
the timing was also perfect, as i just planted the final touches on my 'three sisters' garden. the beans and squash had just popped the soil when i walked out this morning.
The only 'adult' in the room comes off as a petulant child.
Ignoring a pressing issue for months on end, and then acting indignant when he does not get his way.
Throwing tantrums and issuing idle threats.
You guys need a new candidate because Barry Ocarter will take you down the same road he took our economy.
level? that is kinda what happened.
economy tanks, obama gets in, shortly after it levels off.
i'd say obama's strategy on the debt ceiling was brilliant. accept everything the repubs want, make them think thy had a deal or the better part of one, only to yank the rug out from under their feet and make them realize they had zero percent of a deal because they were not taking a balanced approach.
a balanced approach which most americans agree with, by the way.
the right has gone from wanting $4 trillion cut, to $2 trillion cut, to the latest "oh, let's just kick this can down the road".
they have been playing checkers, while the adult in the room plays chess. they have been soundly out-maneuvered.
