FRIDAY OPEN THREAD

I would like to express my gratitude, today:

Thank you, Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby for standing in the way of the confirmation of 70 presidential nominees – proving to America’s children that they CAN have their way if they hold their breath long enough.

Thank you, Connecticut and Massachusetts voters. You know who you are.  Maybe, we’ll all get together one day and have a real celebration..  on the bread lines

Thank you, Tea Party delegates for letting the rest of us know that we really don’t have to know anything about the Constitution to cite the Constitution.

Thank you, Democratic Party for losing the Health-care Reform battle.  Now, we can get to the real business of passing a single-payer option.

Thank you, Sen. Al Franken for being who you are and Blue-dog Democrats are not.

Thank you, AVATAR movie that I’ve seen in 3-D for a third time, for helping me save the money I would have spent on a bottle of Jack Daniels for the same effect.

Thank you, Rush Limbaugh for making my drive into town less stressful, because it is such a relief when I turn you off my radio.
