march winds howl in

it’s a tad windy here today- not sure it’s great kite weather as it’s also rainy. and warm. there isn’t any doubt in my mind that there’s global climate change on a- well, global scale. i heard an interesting rumor that al gore was going to run for president as an independent candidate with michael bloomberg as his vp. i am not going to get my hopes up but i felt a bit of relief as i read those words. why? i don’t know. gore would have a tough time getting things cleaned up to- but at least he is familiar with the landscape and has public backing for policy change on environmental issues. we’ll see. i would definitely vote gore. bloomberg- gee i hope not. although, it could bridge some gaps and he isn’t a horrible rightwinger. we’ll see. i guess i wonder if it would shut the clintonistas and the obamalamas up for a while. i have never seen or heard such stupidity in my life. i don’t know what else to call it and is second to pelosi and reid in reasons i am changing my party affiliation to independent. instead of fighting the real enemy- this party is eating its own. stupid and shortsighted- and the reason that the right wing always makes a comeback. i can’t in good conscience be a part of that- and i send them back their beggings for money with a note- ‘no impeachment = no money.’ perhaps someday an actual person will read it.

in the meantime, i am researching fair trade coffees and teas and where folks can buy them because i had no idea (but why it should surprise me is beyond me) that coffee and tea plantations were outside sweatshops. not that most americans give a damn- but i do. if i am going to buy something, i don’t want my enjoyment to cause suffering to another living being. if i have the choice between sweatshop and fair trade, i will pay the few extra cents. and that’s my two cents for now.
