97. I pen the same screed endlessly? Really?

Let's see, going back through my posts, I've penned one today on the drought, one on the Paterno statue, this one, US military imperialism, the nuclear industry, the MIC, how our wired world could be driving you crazy, Penn State again, the Bush tax cuts, Afghanistan, Michael Johnson's controversial comment about slavery effecting athletic performance, scientology vs. Christianity, a warning against firing off fireworks due to the dry conditions and a plea to put out water for our wild animal friends during this heat wave.

That is my entire OP posting for this month, and let's see, there are five, out of fourteen, that mention the president. I would hardly call that "endlessly".

You don't like my posts, then don't read them, it is, after all, that simple.
