Top Things I'm Thankful For This Year

I'm thankful for Ned Lamont. He had a message of change and decided to inject that into the 2006 mid-term elections when it wasn't popular to do so. He gave everyone hope that things can change for the better; that entrenched incumbents must face their record. Thank you Ned Lamont. You rock.

I'm thankful that I'm able to bitch, moan, whine, and complain about the situation in this country. I'm a proud American and a proud dissident.

I'm thankful for all the people I have met through my humble blog. People in particular, you Bryan and you Shelly. It's good to connect and exchange ideas.

I'm thankful that no matter how bad my situation is, whether it be financial or personal, I'm able to survive and never experience the harsh reality of poverty.

I'm thankful for our Bill of Rights. That's what makes this country so great. Our rights as US citizens to say what we want (even if it's unpopular) and believe in what we want to believe in.

I'm thankful for the many Americans who voted Democratic. We might (*might*) see change soon when it comes to this horrible foreign policy.

I'm thankful for my education. Despite college costs increasing again (yes, again), I'm able to attend school and hopefully, when everything isn't outsourced, maintain a decent standard of living.

I'm thankful for the "netroots", those who blog daily, and those who do real investigative work on their blogs. You guys are fantastic. I don't know where you find the time! ;-)

I'm thankful for the fact that I'll be dining on some food later today. Many won't be as fortunate.

I'm thankful that I'm an American. I love this country alot. I just hate what these bastards are doing to it.
