50 Days! It sounds so wonderful to say, just 50 Days left until Bush’s last day in office. What a painfully long eight years it has been.

I have been in the midst of a MAJOR blog lull, I haven’t even posted in this category since the countdown was at 200 Days on the 4th of July. But the lull wasfor good reason. I was busy doing all I could to help elect that man who will replace Bush (and inherit the tremendous mess that he made), and was also training for a marathon (more on that later).

Getting through the election season was like a marathon itself, and happy each ended well. Eight years contains 2,920 days. Now there’s just 50 left. You do the math, but if compared to the 26.2 miles of a Marathon, we’re just inches from the finish line!

We now have 250 Days to go in the tragic mistake that is the Presidency of George Bush. Here’s a thought provoking video that asks the question, who has done more damage to America since George Bush was appointed President in 2000?

So I’ve found that here in my blog, on entries that are in this category of ‘Bush’s Last Day’, you are likely to see a nice graphic Google Ad for John McCain’s campaign. Please click on it and consider how a McCain presidency would essentially be a third term for George Bush. And if a third-term for George Bush appeals to you. Well, please, bite me.

Why am I watching this nitwit on TV trying to say everything’s great in Iraq and asking for patience … five years into a war of choice, 4,000 lives lost, many thousands more injured (and that’s all just OUR side, forgetting the injury and loss of life among Iraqis), and $12 Billion a month. Go George… just go.

299 days…

There are 349 Days to go now until Bush’s Last Day, hang in there baby!

Today 22 States will hold their primary elections, making today Super Tuesday. We have a week yet before we get our turn here in Virginia, when we’ll be joined by Maryland and the District in voting on what I’ve heard called The Potomac Primary, and Chesapeake Tuesday (‘Potomac Primary’ turns up 1,010 results in Google, while ‘Chesapeake Tuesday’ returns only 596, so I guess that race is won). Good luck to all the candidates (ok, not really, just trying to be a good sport).

As you can see from my fundraising graphic, and the new sign in my yard, that I’ve made my choice. You can probably tell by the amount also that I’m not exactly yet having a big impact on Barack’s behalf. Hopefully that will change some over time. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look at the ‘Yes We Can‘ video on Obama’s site. Powerful.

BTW, delayed congrats to the Giants. That was an amazing finish, and an excellent Super Bowl!
