Happy first day of winter!  I have a new book to read, "Fools Crow" by Mails.  Today, I am to bake cookies and cranberry bread.  First, I must wash dishes.  But before that, I must wake up!  I can't seem to get a move on.  It's almost noon, and I have just gotten dressed, after a very restless night, tending my dog, Pepper, who is not well.  What can be wrong with her?  Well, I think she has swallowed so much deer fur that she is constipated, and I gave her a stool softener in some liver sausage, and also a worming pill, Aricept.  She pants, loudly and continuously, all night, and that has to be hard on her heart, at the very least.

On the spying on American citizens, I just heard that Bush said something about the Constitution being "just a goddam piece of paper."  This current administration is so riddled with scandal and corruption that I cannot believe this guy is still in office.  But look at who would replace him.  It should be a double impeachment.  Speaker o/t House Dennis Hastreiter would be next.  Omg, this is why we can't impeach.
