Things are just getting so bad,

I don't know how I could stomach raising a child, particularly a daughter here. Last night we had a friend over for dinner and we were talking about the challenges to abortion rights in South Dakota and Tennessee, and the deficit being raised again to the point where each newborn essentially has a $30,000 birth tax on her head. While we're basically hearing reruns of the pre-Iraq coverage, but with Iran substituted in. And Mitt Romney running for President. I really can't stand that guy. He completely decimated education, kindegarten through college, in Massachusetts, among all the other crappy things he's done. Every time I see him he reminds me of that plastic Duracel guy- you know, the plastic suits they had actors wear for those commercials, only they couldn't wear them for more than 5 minutes at a time because of the heat and suffocation? Ugh. I'm just disgusted with our state of affairs.
