My husband is getting laid off

Yup. Laid off. Made redundant. Given a pink slip. Canned. At the end of the month. At least the company was nice enough to give the unlucky workers notice. His last job, the ubermanager came in at 4:45 and said, "thank you for good work, but at of the end of your shift this entire unit is laid off. Have a great weekend!" (Okay he didn't say just like that, but it was pretty close.)

However, my husband was already job hunting for a real job (IT) and has had interviews with groups in Las Vegas, Reno and Memphis. I wouldn't mind going back to Philadelphia. Actually, would LOVE to go back to Philly.

But we'll have to see what happens.

Now that I've finished my rant about my personal life, you really should go here and read what Molly Ivins wrote. I've been a pest and emailed the link to DFA and the DNC. Molly (as usual) has hit the nail on the head!

As usual, the Democrats have forty good issues on their side and want to run on thirty-nine of them. Here are three they should stick to:

1) Iraq is making terrorism worse; it’s a breeding ground. We need to extricate ourselves as soon as possible. We are not helping the Iraqis by staying.
2) Full public financing of campaigns so as to drive the moneylenders from the halls of Washington.
3) Single-payer health insurance.

and then there's my personal favorite:

I can’t see a damn soul in D.C. except Russ Feingold who is even worth considering for President.

I like Feingold too. Here's a link to his site, so go find out more. He's from Wisconsin, and refuses to follow the lemmings. I'm hoping (and praying) he runs for president.

And another brief rant - Iran. Is Bushco going to lead us into a war there, just in time for an October surprise? Or am I just being a cynical bitch? Maybe I'm a cynical bitch and that has nothing to do with Iran. Anyway, I'm getting the same bad feeling about Iran that I had before Iraq.

I need pie.
