Once again, I'm just plain deliquent in posting... So, let's just free-form:
> MJ - I know he was a great entertainer, but the spectical of his death was just an overkill. I must have been one of the four people surfing cable TV looking for something other than MJ. I don't have much to say about his troubles. I think everyone can agree that he was a troubled soul, but I still wouldn't let my children near him no matter how innocent he was.
> Sarah Palin -I don't know WHAT to think of her. I think she really does march to her own drum beat and I like that. However, her resignation speech was one of her worst. It just ramble and didn't quite make sense. With all the frivolus lawsuits draining her family resources (I think I read during the `08 race that her wealth was less than $500,000 and that was mostly tied to her home), I can see why that alone would be enough to say 'screw this!'.
I really hope she doesn't run in `12 cuz that would be a disaster. Let's hope she's still as feisty in `20 as she is now. Love her independent streak and would love to back her even if I don't agree with her totally. I'm just sooo tired of all the negative press about her!! MSNBC is just amazing with the pitbull attitude towards her. Disagree with her politics but do it civilly.
> Obama picture in G8 - Don't know if any of you saw the picture floating about showing Obama and Sarkozy appearing to eye the nice ass of a 16 year old memeber of a delegation. The still photo looks great!! and quite convincing. See ALL men are hounddogs!!
HOWEVER... if you see the video of the scene, you can see that he is glancing down in anticipation of assisting the young lady behind him (black blouse). Now Sarkozy is a different matter, it show him clearly checking the young one out!! But to hear all the talking heads, it was just another example of skewed "journalism". Now, I'm no fan of the big O's policies, but when things are taken out of context, it shows just how bad things can get and BOTH sides are guilty.
> Sotomayor - next Supreme Court justice. I can't dispute her qualifications and think she deserves to be appointed. I think she'll get 86 votes. My point on this is while Repubs may disagree with her opinions, they don't dispute her judical judgement. This cannot be said of the Dems when faced with the same choice. They threaten a filabuster just to make a political point. Shamefull, just shamefull.
> Joe Biden - God love him, cuz I sure do!! Talk about loose lips ... he's always so entertaining!! Never a dull moment when he's in front of a microphone.
> Iranian protests - I was glued to Nico Pitney's Huff Post blog. I feel for them and hope the can achieve their freedom from the mullahs.
That's all for now.
Peace
