You’re enjoying your day
Everything’s going your way
Then along comes Debbie Downer.

Always there to tell you ‘bout a new disease
A car accident or killer bees
You’ll beg her to spare you, “Debbie, Please!”
But you can’t stop Debbie Downer!

I hate to bring you all down after what was most likely a very faboo Mother’s Day, but somebody’s gotta do it. 

• Think hydrogen power is the next big thing for our gasoline woes?  Uh, think again, as it won’t make a damn bit of difference for another 40 years.  I’ll be like really old by then.  In the meantime, I’m waiting for the 2009 Toyota Prius.  Maybe we should be focus on that for the time being. 

• If anyone believes voter ID laws won’t keep Americans from voting, they better read this.  Many older folk who have never had to show proof of their U.S. citizenship can’t even find their birth records.  “That’s downright wrong,” proclaimed one 78-year-old from Mississippi.  Indeed. 

• What will it take to undo Bush’s mess?  Lots.  The next prez is going to need a big shovel and a whole lotta time. 

• The EPA:  what’s it good for?  Absolutely nothing.  And you thought the “Protection” part of their name stood for something!  Suckahs. 

There is some good news, though.  Young evangelical Christians are fleeing the Republicans in record numbers.  Maybe it’s because of stupid shit like this. 

Damn, it’s not even 3 a.m. and I need a drink.
