hello!

Taking my cue from Patrick, I thought I'd say hello and intro myself. I run a small blog called expostulation. I'm nowhere near as exciting as Patrick, what with the punk band and all. I, too, live in a conservative area--SW Ohio. My Professional Geek hubby and I have four kiddos who are taking nicely to our liberal brainwashing (muwahahaha!) and a dog who thinks he is a person named "Damnit Dog What Are You Doing" (though his real name is Copper, because we're just that original).

I'm also extremely honored that Shakes invited me to guest-blog. Which reminds me, here is something I thought was interesting (and no, not because of my thing for Bono. Honest!). Seems Bono met with Shrub about the poor people of the world (because, as we know, Bush gives two shits about them). That's not the interesting part. This is:

[Bono] said he once criticized Bush for not getting the Millennium Challenge money out quick enough and was rebuked for it. "One senator threw a newspaper at me in a meeting. 'How dare you disrespect the president of the United States!'" Bono told [Rolling Stone].

What is with these people?! I mean, really. Bush is not a king for chrissakes. What I'd love to know is who the senator was that throws things like a pissed off toddler.
