WHOA!

Wow, more than a month without posting a single thing. It's not like nothing's happened! I'm still working my ass off, but I've also taken 3 vacations this year. We visited family in Florida, Texas and Louisiana. And of course took tons of pictures of Abby. She's getting big, and talks up a storm! Here she is on Easter dyeing eggs:



Too cute for words, huh? She and Tina are away this weekend, and I already miss them.

Now I shall bring the pain:

Don Imus. The only thing I ever hear about him is when Howard Stern makes fun of him. And over the years that's been a lot. Anyway, about his comment. He handled it all wrong. He should've said, "I said something stupid, and I'm sorry I said it." Then he should have gone on with his life, and take his lumps. Don't go on Al Sharpton, don't act like a cowboy... because it is obvious you ain't (Despite your stupid hat)! That made the situation even worse. It was the equivalent of saying, "some of my best friends are black!" He even slipped in the "you people..." during his apology. He apologized to the women he offended, and now he's going off into the sunset like the cowboy he wishes he could be. The bottom line, to me, is he should not have been taken off the air for saying something stupid... he should have been taken off the air for being a horrible DJ. A 77-year-old man trying to stay hip by using slang comes off as pathetic. Now he's a pathetic old white guy who has raised the ire of both women and blacks. Good riddance, enjoy the rest of your days with your creepy wife changing your diaper.

And here I thought he was the father of Anna Nicole's baby. Fuck Imus, get Sirius.

As I sit here listening to people across the room praising Bill O'Reilly the following thoughts come to mind... I hate that people think that if you question the government you're not American. Why don't people understand that questioning the government is the very definition of being American. Government for the people... by the people. I also don't understand people who think Fox News Channel is fair and balanced. The world ain't black and white, and those that think it is, they're blind to half of the world. How hard is it to pander to the right, then belittle anyone with a different opinion? One day people will wake up and see O'Reilly and his ilk for what they are? Look at why he does what he does. He can't really believe all the pablum he pukes over the airwaves. Its a schtick to make money. How long would he survive if he had someone on with a differing opinion and say, "You make a good point, I can accept that." Like most open-minded human beings could possibly say. How do I know it's an act? Because on the other Fox network they aren't right-wing nutjobs, they put on shitty reality shows, another crap that are the bane of a conservative's existence. But no Republican would dare say anything that would make Daddy Rupert mad! The bottom line as I see it... think for yourself, get the facts, make up your own mind.
