10 Days Left

10. The number of fingers on the normal pair of hands. That's how many days we have to tick off till we get rid of the nastiest President of the United States within anyone's living memory.

You could put up 10 pieces of toilet paper and it wouldn't stretch very far. That's a short amount.

10 days can be long, like if you're suffering severe pain that long. And I guess we are. But, like they say on Seinfeld, you're sleeping a third of it, today's about over with, and Obama will be inaugurated at noon. So it's practically over with, four days or so to go.

Even Cheney today (or yesterday) said he was excited to see Obama come into office.

The biggest downer is that we still have the obstructionist Republicans in Congress. Two or three of those monkeys can diminish a good thing fast. They're already cranked up to thwart Obama's desires for good government and economic progress. It's funny, they bent over backwards for Bush to perpetrate crime after crime, but they're already lockstep against Obama doing anything positive. Creeps.

Remember just a few years ago it was unpatriotic to even criticize the President. But how things change when it's someone from the opposite party!
