Hating America?

[plutherus]

I have, upon occasion, been accused of Hating America, due to my frequent criticism of the Bush administration.

It isn't true, of course. I love America.

And I miss it.

I just hate the people who've destroyed it.

I liked to refer to it as "A small island of blue in a vast red intellectual wasteland."

The place has history, culture, (even the dread multiculture!), jazz clubs, opera, and sushi, and just outside are snake-handlers, sibling-spouses, and Jesus billboards...

(OK, I admit I loved the trio of billboards out Highway 40: "Discount Tires", "CHEAP cigarrettes", "JESUS!")

But damn, do I miss the weather there. Here, it's a high of 77 degrees, partially cloudy. tomorrow, 77 degrees, scattered clouds, and after that, 77 degrees with occasional clouds. My god, I've worked in buildings with more weather than this!
