Dear Readers: I am officially closing The Shrine for vacation. I will be spending the next some time in Italy, and will be in Florence for a Italia Tea Party event on June 19th — which I will detail as my first post upon my return.
Whenever I am on leave or extended breaks, Team Obama takes the opportunity to set the world on fire. Last time, it was the rapid-fire passage of Cap&Trade. To that end, I want to leave you with the administration’s new anthem: Both Ends Burning by Roxy Music:
Yep, given ALL that is in the news today, I pray the world doesn’t go to hell in hand-basket without at least the opportunity to share the experience with you via the Internet. In the meantime, please follow my fellow SLOBs (San-Diego Local Order of Bloggers), links to the right.
One positive note to send me on my way: ANGELINA JOLIE IS SLATED TO PLAY CLEOPATRA in an upcoming movie. 🙂
We will miss your energy and wit while you are gone, but hopefully those Italian Tea Party goers will get some inspiration!
Roxy Music?? Wouldn’t “Love is a Drug” have been a great Clinton Administration anthem?
Enjoy Italy. The Euro has almost reached parity with the USD so it will be a cheaper trip. Beware Italian drivers, think Mario Kart and you will understand. Enjoy the scenery, the people, the food, and see when the traveling market comes to the town square. And finally come back safe.
SSG Conway, Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies’ is the Clinton theme song. 😉
LOL! Thanks for all the kind comments. I will enjoy the rest — we all have a lot to do for the November elections.
