Explanatory Buzz

I confess.....Without any warning our posting went into serious decline over here at mosquito blog. (Mac, kindly posted our latest post 12 days ago....) This has not been a planned thing...to take a break it just has sort of descended upon us for a variety of reasons.

Star and I decided in March that we were sick and tired of Hillary Clinton. We concluded that she will probably still be around on inauguration day laying out spiking strips to derail Obama's victory lap in the presidential limousine. We both were tired of wasting our time covering Hillary's latest antics. We believe she cannot win and though she entered this race as the "favorite' with all the resources, etc....the people have soundly rejected her. No matter how much the corporate media backs her campaign now (and she wouldn't still be around if corporate media wasn't backing her now.....unfortunately, the corporate media is supplying Hillary with the air time, she can no longer afford, to allowing her to evolve into a sort of "Terminator" presidential candidate. Seems to me the last thing our country needs is to replace Darth Vader with the Terminator.....

Well Hillary is as delusional as ever and I just can't bring myself to write about her. Then Star has had some stuff come up so she is going on a sabbatical until August/September. She may post something here and there but she will not be posting on a regular basis.

I have also decided that I am going to take a sabbatical until August/September. Quite frankly, this news junkie has to turn the channel every time Hillary Clinton's face appears on the Boob Tube. I can no longer stand the deceitful way the corporate media is playing this and I'm even more disgusted with the Democratic party. I have a relative that used to be "big" in the Democratic party. She would often say--"The Democratic party would screw up a two car funeral. " I am seriously looking at other options for my future community service work. I am so disgusted with the Democrats....unfortunately it's becoming more difficult to tell the difference between a democrat and a republican....especially with Hillary Clinton's negative campaign and her crazy plans to "nuke" the Middle East.

(I may post something occassionally) but I want to free up some time and resources to get a home renovation project underway and give some serious thought to local community projects I may wish to work on.

I haven't had a chance to speak with Mac about his plans for the summer so I can't give you any idea of what to expect from him over the summer.

I plan to continue to support Barack Obama financially, and if the Democratic party does not self-destruct, I plan on volunteering to volunteer to assist Obama's Presidential campaign in the fall.
