what happens next?

i love little surprises. i got a text a bit ago from bee saying that donald rumsfeld stepped down and that bush was giving a speech on cnn. intrigued, i ventured into the main lounge area where cnn plays non-stop. i was the only one in the plush green chairs interested in what our prez had to say. that is, until the mail lady strolled by, rolling her cart.

we watched in silence together for a bit, but eventually started chatting about how late we each stayed up with the polls. i went to sleep, happy and oblivious, around 11pm. she stayed up until 3am, pouring over the different news casts. for one, this impressed me. none of my socially savvy friends have admitted to staying up past their normal bedtimes.

then our lovely, reliable mail lady starts in on her own theory: that hastert will also announce his resignation before the end of the year. she hypothesizes that hastert would be a dildo to give up his humongous pension as house speaker (arguably, he already is a dildo, but that's a different blog).so, since he was re-elected yesterday, but the speaker is now pelosi (very cool, on many levels - esp the one where she's 3rd in line for the presidency if anything should happen!), he is out of his elevated position starting 1/1. this means he slides down to normal congressperson pension. if he steps down, he can appoint another nice white repub to take his place in congress.

i thoroughly enjoyed this theory. in fact, i figure, after a bit of research, i'll most likely subscribe to this theory as well. it's the people that surprise you in little pleasant ways that keeps your day up and running. well... for me it is. :o)
