Why should Hillary drop out?

For once in a very long time, a few states haven't been able to make the decision of who the Democratic Presidential candidate will be and everyone is in an uproar about it? Why is it so bad that the voters in more states are being given the chance to make their voices heard? And why can't all state primaries be held on the same day, just as elections are so that everyone's voice is heard and vote counted at the same time?

I so wish Edwards had stayed in the race. Of the three- Clinton, Obama and Edwards, Edwards had the best chance of beating any Republican. But the media has made such a big deal over the first Black and first woman, Edwards was completely ignored by the press, while they kept throwing Hillary and Obama at us.

Now it looks like our choices will be Obama, who is inexperienced - and we have seen how well an inexperienced President has done (Little Bush), Hillary who seems to have a serious problem telling the truth, and McCain- an hot-tempered senile old man that wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years. I have been interested in politics for many many years, and have voted in every election since my early 20's. But I just may sit this one out.
The only thing I am looking forward to is not having to see George's smirking face on TV telling even more lies in his unique garbled way of speaking.

Tired of ranting.....

Over the past few years I have started several blogs, and then deleted them when I got weary of venting about the war, our current administration, the inability of the Democrats (or lack of courage) to face this administration as they alienate us from the rest of the world, not to mention the senseless loss of lives lost, maimed and disabled soldiers coming home to inadequate medical care, depletion of our military, and on and on. All this horror going on, and what is still in the news? Larry Craig and what he did or didn't do in a bathroom! I give up- I have lost all hope. We are a seriously fucked up country if there is really that much interest and concern about what Larry Craig does in bathrooms. I guess it is too much to expect NBC to do a story on why the Bush administration had plans for illegally eavesdropping even before 9/11. It was much more important for us to see Matt interview Bathroom Larry on Dateline.



But finally Bush does something I agree with- meeting with and honoring the Dalai Lama. And now China is upset with us- so what are they going to do? Refuse to sell us more children toys and items covered with lead saturated paint?




Once again, I am tired of ranting and talking about the elephant that is not only in the room but actually trampling us. But instead of deleting this blog, I'll just let it sit until I need to rant again. Or maybe I will just talk about my daily personal life- hell, it has to be more interesting than a month long discussion of Larry Craig's foot tapping bathroom activities. The first day the story broke it was interesting just to see how the Republicans reacted. But come on- a month of it? I do a lot more in my bathroom than just tap my foot. Hell, I actually get naked and take bubble baths.

Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) Gay?

I tend to believe Sen. Craig when he said he is not gay and never has been gay. I mean, come on... what self respecting gay man would live in Idaho, let alone be a Republican? I'm just an old hetero liberal woman, and I not only wouldn't live in Idaho, I don't even want to drive through it! The air must be thick in that state with the spirit killing, narrow minded conservative virus.



Perhaps Sen. Craig is just reluctant to admit that he suffers from the dreaded Restless Leg Syndrome. That's why he couldn't keep his foot in his bathroom stall! He had a tiring day and was simply trying to relax as he took care of his bathroom needs. According to the commercials for medications to treat RLS, when one relaxes is when the symptoms of RLS are most evident. He simply felt the impulse to move his legs and that is how his feet uncontrollably began moving around and he inadvertently ended up touching feet with the undercover cop in the next stall.



On a serious note- if Sen. Craig is indeed gay, and now that the party and state he has served for so many years has turned on him, he can finally be himself and live a real life. Get the hell out of Idaho, be a proud gay man and live a meaningful life.

Does Cheney have a heart?

One week after doctors probed Bush's ass searching for his brain ( no brain was found, just some ol' polyps), his Vice President entered the hospital where doctors tried to determine if Cheney had a heart. The conclusion is that this administration is both brainless and heartless.
