55. When your kids suffer a disappointing defeat, ya let 'em blow off steam.
Edited on Fri Jan-27-06 10:57 AM by Neil Lisst
I think it's like that.

It's not the time to lecture them, but to let them vent. Same deal here. Each person is entitled to respond as he or she sees fit. Some rant. Some pout. Some threaten. Some erupt. Some leave for a while.

Each person has their own coping mechanism.

I wanted a filibuster, but I knew it was over for that Wednesday, which is why I ran the cartoon I did yesterday.


I'm very disappointed in some of our Dem senators, but I'm not going to call for their heads. That is self-defeating thinking.

I'm just going to start pushing that big rock up that hill again. It's not going to get there by itself.
