no joy in mudville

i am not even really sure what to write about these days. oh- don’t get me wrong- when i say that, i inevitably end up writing 3,000 words anyway my mind is in a bit of turmoil and i don’t know that it’s quite spring fever because it isn’t a happy sort of feeling. i am disappointed that the democratic party has chosen to continue playing politics as usual within the corporatocracy because i honestly thought we had a shot at beginning to change things. but no. i guess i shouldn’t be surprised when the democratic party is made up of ‘crossovers’ from camp clinton and the blue dogs like lieberman. so- i am truly going to change my affiliation to independent. i have no desire to be affiliated with the democratic party any longer. in fact, i fully intend to send in my membership renewal (sans cash of course) with a nice letter explaining to howard dean, et al, where exactly they can shove that renewal and why. and so it goes. i feel very andy rooneyish today. i am also bitterly disappointed that we, the people, haven’t fought harder to save our constitution. we, the people, collectively decided to roll over and play dead while the pnacers took over our country. they effectively control everything and no one will make any kinds of moves to stop them. in the news recently:
