On Curtains & Congress

Some time after I first moved into my house, I found an old orange curtain left by the previous owners in the cabinets in the laundry area. I later learned that the previous owners were heavy smokers and used orange everywhere to hide nicotine stains, and they were not very good housekeepeers. Well, here I am getting rid of things that I have not used, and here in my house lives this old orange curatin. BUT, it will not go to the refuse pile because it is my favorite drop cloth. I cover furniture with disposible plastic but cover the floor with this old orange curtain. It is light enough to easily spread, cover and move, and dense enough to catch splattered paint. So, the old orange curtain stays until I can no longer paint.
Larry King did a show about prostate cancer. I watched to see what he would do. I generally don't like Larry King because I find him too sensational and too mired in Hollywood, as if the rest of the world should care. Anyway, I find it strange to listen to people talk about prostate cancer and have it reported that so many people don't know anything about it. The bsst part of the show was that they named lots of famous men who beat prostate cancer. For me, among siblings, two of three brothers have beat it, so I think we men who are survivors should be telling everyone we know so that everyone will know it IS survivable. However, I do not approve of Scotland sending the terrorist who was serving a life sentence home to Libya. How dumb can you be? Compassionate release? I wonder if the minister in Scotland can say that 270 times. It MUST be about oil, because the humanitarian excuse doesn't appear to cut it. And are we pleased that Tom Ridge is spilling the beans that peresons in the previous administration acted for political gain???? And under which administration has that NOT been true??? Might Congress be able to get something done if just a few of them could get past acting for political gain??? The longer we allow Congress to be ineffective and not perform their constitutional duties, the stronger the argument for term limits for all of them! Back to work on Monday. Come weep with me past hope! Return to work just in time for more furloughs! Yeah, I'll be glad to pay the union for this! Life is just grande.
