Musings on the news......

Lieberman on Iraq I just finished reading Lieberman's editorial in the Washington Post... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/28/AR2006122801055.html entitled "Why we need more troops in Iraq". His article is concluded by calling himself an Independent Democrat. It's fairly obvious that the war of misinformation has taken it's toll on all our sanity! I'm left to conclude that democracy is the first step towards a state of dissociative disorder.

Pelosi from the kitchen to the House I watched in amazement as the first woman to lead the House of Representatives took the gavel this last week! It's been a long road for women in this nation! We lag far behind other countries in terms of equal representation of women in our government. And like our dear Mr. Lieberman's claim to be a Democrat, equality is a label only! The ERA amendment fell short of passing and what we ended up with instead was the age of escalating plastic debt. It's no wonder we're faced with a government so adamant about marriage being one man and one woman! If two women get married, they can't pay the rent!

Oprah on innocence and being a celebrity Oprah defended her choice to start and fund a school in South Africa, because the children she met in American ghetto schools wanted I-Pods and Sneakers. So apparently one of the richest women in America can't abide by materialism and keeping up with trends! That's interesting.

me...... scratching my head Okay, so far this year is starting out to be very interesting, if not just a tad more dis-functional than usual!
