Hello there !

Where do I start ? I’ve got tons of disorganized random thoughts swirling on my mind right now. But I finally figured out how to make sense of them….. make them current. That’s right.

So to start off and without much further ado…..

Yesterday, Pres. Obama complimented California’s attorney general, Kamala Harris, for her good looks. But that was after saying nice things about her brilliant work as an attorney-general.

.There was an ” uproar” among feminists. Oh, from just a few critics but boy, were they loud. They said it was sexist and inappropriate. C’mon. It was said at a fund raising event where jokes were tossed around and bandied about among friends and allies. I’ve always been with you , sisters, but not this time. Your outrage is silly and over the top, and it makes you look like some bitter Ms. goody two shoes with this holier than thou attitude. It’s nasty and it won’t advance your cause. Thank goodness this is just a one-day wonder. Lighten up, ladies. The glass ceiling is going to finally break in 2016. . Save your energy. The fight is about to commence. Who’s with me?

.We have a bunch of Hilarry stickers like the picture above left over from her 2008 Primary run againts Pres. Obama. I couldn’t even vote yet when Mom dragged me along as volunteers for Hillary’s campaign. At their headquarters, I worked the phones for a while, but I really couldn’t stand getting yelled at by obvious Obama supporters at the end of the line….. And we weren’t supposed to argue, nor contradict, nor be contentious, we just explained things nicely , stuck to written guidelines, then got the heck off the phone fast . Ha ha. That was NASTY ! When I whined about it, I was given the task of posting on different fora. My “favorites ” were DailyKos and Huffington Post. At first , I was polite and meek, but it didn’t work on DailyKos, so I took off my mask and gave as good as I got, blow by blow, tit for tat, to the point that I was almost banned from the forum. He he he. Oh, the adrenaline ! ! I was the goddess of Rock ! ! Good thing there were a few nice posters who defended me … it was like, ” Look, guys, we’re all Democrats here. We have to unite at one point behind one candidate . We’ve heard of Hillary supporters threatening to sit out this election if things turn out even more contentious than this. ” And the poster was right. My parents left the names for President blank. Mom said she was so pissed she voted for McCain. No, she didn’t, ( though I’m not sure ) but we did go into sulk mode. It took us maybe a year to warm up to Obama. Yay, Obama ! ( We still don’t like Bill Richardson and that b*tch what’s – her- face from CNN. )

Enough of my chitty chatty and let’s get down to the nitty gritty……my trip to France.

Here’s my problem though…… I forgot the name of the first French town we visited and stayed the night in. ( 6__6) I remember the hotel was Ibis. So , any one from France who gets to read this, can you please tell me what town this is? It’s a small, charming postcard pretty town, and the street sign here says , Limoges Chateuroux, Bessac, CHU de Poitiers. Could it be Poitiers, France? I’m not sure.
