On the road again.

Just took the Oglet for her first drive around the neighborhood. She did OK, actually.

We have only two Explorers and an Escape, which are not easy cars to learn to drive on.

When did I get this old?

Damn

While looking for info about my previous posts, I stumbled on a bunch of statistics about the debt. Good lord, do the left ever love to play with numbers to make it look like their guy is doing a great job! This shows pretty much just how far you can trust Wikipedia. (To find the post in question, search “debt by president” and look at th wikipedia entry. Anyone got a REAL accounting of the debt by president, or know where one can be found?)

Presidential Monuments

Ms X is discussing the FDR memorial.

me, I’d like to memorialize FDR- and all the presidents that followed- by putting a statue of him digging in the bottom of a hole that symbolizes his debt. Each president will have a plateau a bit deeper, each president in bronze wielding a shovel. By the time you get to wingnuthead, the hole will be pretty damned deep.

Here’s the best part: I want the “monument” to be in the middle of the walkway through a dimly lit tunnel that leads to the offices of all Washington bureaucrats. No handrail.

Eventually we might have to cap it off and reconstruct it in a new location, like the Congressional cafeteria.

My monument will be more useful.
