I'm flying home today from Ft Lauderdale and had an interesting experience at the airport. While waiting for my plane, this band of Obamamaniacs decided to get a group portrait. Apparently, they had just been to the inauguration and just arrived home. Being used to crowds, they saw nothing wrong with invading other peoples' space and chose the railing next to where I was seated. I was just there, doing nothing and minding my own business, when I was suddenly surrounded by Obamaites poking me with their flags and being obnoxious. Having been to Venezuela before, I've had a similar experience in a hotel with a group of Chavanistas on a protest march. Maybe it is a socialist thing which I just don't understand.

Speaking of Venezuela, I'll be going there next week. Since the memorial service is Saturday and I'm not going anywhere before then, you probably won't here from me for awhile. (Unless I get a good internet connection)
