I think from now on I am chucking all my public reasons why I am leaving and just answering I can't live in a country where Mike Huckabee is a serious candidate. (Thanks danbearnyc. I guess he doesn't want the Jewish vote.)





To recap publicly: I used HomeGain to solicit realtors to sell The Loft. None of the responses were local to my market but covered other parts of the city, 80% of them were canned. What I can also report is that the one I wrote through HomeGain never got back to me. I talked with one broker who was a FOAF, one pair that I got through AgentMachine, one team I met at a party, and one that was recommended to me by a realtor who lives in my building. I signed with the last one as the best fit on Friday, listing went up on Saturday, and the team I met at the party already brought an interested party last night to my realtor. I should ask how the viewing went. While it was on I went to friends to have dinner and then timfogartyfeed to not bake cookies.

I can't think of politics in this country without becoming despondent. Unfortunately, I poked my head up to see a few things that people were saying. Huckabee seems just awful. Not that the rest of them are much better.

Is there a sane (or at least less crazy) part of the world? Or is everyone just as doomed?

Well, we know our crazies are crazies, even when we elect them to politicians of the year.

America is hopeless and I'm finding myself constantly ashamed to be an American.

What makes it even worse is that Huckabee is the Republican presidential candidate who makes me least queasy. (OK, although he's a kill-the-poor, race-baiting loon, Ron Paul also disgusts me less than the rest.) The only Republican candidate who didn't make me gag was Chuck Hagel, and he dropped out early.

Nixon's paranoid ghost would be a better candidate than most of those bozos. He even has a clean criminal record, thanks to the pardon.
