I just made a donation of $25.47 in honor of Barack’s 47th birthday–it ain’t much, but unemployment checks don’t allow for much discretionary spending! 😃

How 'bout the rest of you, care to join me in a little celebration?

Go 'Bama!!

Ho ho ho, Merry Obamasmas!

Has anybody delivered the frankincense and myrrh yet? I’m guessing gold is out of the question in today’s economy. 😃

Dang… I’m barely two weeks and two days older than potentially the next POTUS. I don’t know whether to be thrilled or terrified… ( And, Way to make me look the underachiever, B-man, thanx a heap 😉 )
