Day #2 of Rick Santorum's retirement - how has your world changed

[LynneSin]

I've noticed a happier lilt to my step each day and how when I wake up in the morning the sun shines just a lil bit brighter than normal. Then I realized - I'm living in a world where Rick Santorum can no longer make decisions that could affect my life.

I saved the cork from the champagne that Ramsey and I had to celebrate Santorum's last day! It's my reminder that if you fight hard you can make a change!

1. The sun is shining brighter here in the west. Air smells a lot fresher, too.

Pennsylvania: :thumbsup:

[Hugin]

2. Music is more beautiful... Food tastes better... Colors are more vibrant...

I've started dating a box turtle.

You know, the usual.

:D

3. I'm happy for my old home state.

It seems like they're finally coming to their senses.

[Avalux]

4. I feel that way about Tom Delay.

Knowing he isn't in office and fucking up Texas anymore makes me happy. We got rid of Bonilla yesterday too! Woo hoo! :bounce:

5. That rash is clearing up.

6. Old senators never retire, they become lobbyists

"I'm living in a world where Rick Santorum can no longer make decisions that could affect my life."

The lobbyist's clients make the decisions that affect our lives, jobs, health care, not the senators. Even the war. Defense contractors pay big bucks for war. Except for things like "protecting the institution of marriage from the gays" that are hard-right core constituent issues.

7. Or Blowhards on Cable News Networks!

I heard he wants to become a pundit on MSRNC or Faux News.

15. Perfect

Now when his defense contractor buddies and Halliburton want more war and both democratic controlled houses don't, he'll threaten to go on Hannity's TV show and tell the whole world that democrats don't want America to be safe from terrorists because they don't support the war against it.

9. I'm ready for some man-on-dog sex now

I put my urge on hold for the first day, but now I'm having trouble resisting with out Sen. Rick protecting me...

[LynneSin]

10. Does this make you 'frisky'?

[NewJeffCT]

11. I like them big

I'm a size man...

So, this is more my speed:

[LynneSin]

12. Damn, that dog probably takes a crap bigger than that dog I posted

:wow:

[zappa_parappa]

13. I married my pet box turtle

We've never been happier.

14. My Repuke State Rep. replied to my email in a matter of hours...

not the matter of months that it took last time I emailed him (about something hugely more important). And this is in PA too!

16. It just smells better these days.

:hi:

[KatyaR]

17. Wow, maybe that's why I had such a nice day.

I wondered why I felt so good today--who woulda thunk it? :bounce:

[AlCzervik]

18. today sucked but knowing he's gone it didn't suck as much as it normally would.

19. The birds were chirping before sunrise this morning

actually they continued chirping before each sunrise all through Icky Ricky's tenure in office, but it did seem they were in particularly fine voice today... :-)
