Carnival of Liberty XLVI

Posted in Life, Liberty, Property, Miscellany at 6:06 am by LeftBrainFemale

Time sure flies when we’re having fun - and thankfully, as I like to add - even when we’re not! Somehow, it seems the older I get, the faster days pass - here we are, almost halfway through 2006! Well, without further ado, here (in no particular order) are the posts from Carnival of Liberty XLVI - that’s 46 for those who are roman numerically challenged.

While I’m not generally a pessimist, admittedly my own submission to this week’s carnival is a bit more negative than usual - but I’m including it as I know I need to keep my priorities straight - and perhaps it may help another reader to give some thought as to how many of us have become the ultimate American Idle.
