Not Going to be Swift-Boated
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
There are many reasons why I like Obama and always have: He's tough and fair and he genuinely believes in making regular peoples' lives better; not just those making five million dollars a year or more like someone I know.
I am so glad Obama is standing up to the GOP whereas everyone else just crumbles and bows to them out of fear of retribution. Oh no, Obama's not having any of it.
Check out what he said today at a campaign stop in Virginina this morning. Love it! Obama is not going to go down like Kerry did. He's coming out swinging and he should! The future of our country depends upon it.

It's Been An Entire Summer, But I'm Back!
Tuesday, September 09, 2008
I don't like this woman and I'll tell you why: hypocrisy! I don't care about her stance on the "Bridge to Nowhere". I don't care about her pork barreling. I don't care about her lack of knowledge on foreign relations and her gaffe about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (for real, she should know what she's talking about with two major US institutions before she opens her mouth -- again!). What gets me is her teen daughter who is pregnant.Make no mistake, had a Democratic VP pick had a teen daughter who was pregnant the GOP would tell the world how bad we are on family values, but her family is off limits. I cannot stand that! It's a true double standard. I will echo what others have said, even if their voices have been muted by the Right. If she can't handle her household, how can she help run this country?

I Think I'll Probably Cry Tonight
Tuesday, June 03, 2008
I'm gonna be honest here: I thought I would be dead and gone and six feet under before I witnessed the real chance that a black man could be President of the United States.And then, all of a sudden, like a bolt of lightening, Barack Obama came straight out of nowhere and tonight he will probably become the nominee of the Democrat Party -- that is, if the Supers don't trip and come out en masse (like they should have weeks ago) and put him over the top.
The reality that Barack Obama actually will be running for president will bring to a head all that abolitionists and Civil Rights leaders fought for.
I know I'll cry. I'm so happy that I'll be alive to see this moment.
Now, I will also say this and I am really sincere when I write this: I will be thrilled if Hillary is asked to join the ticket. I really, really will.

Why MSNBC Makes My Brain Hurt
Sunday, June 01, 2008
I've been watching MSNBC almost non-stop for weeks. I watched all umpteen hours of the DNC meeting on Saturday and I can't bring myself to blog about what's going on lest I curse and make a fool of myself.
When is this thing going to be over?

So!
So! What started out four years ago to be my online haven where I chronicle the mundane and not-so-mundane happenings in my life has ever-so-quickly become a stagnant waste of online space.
Should I be so hard on myself?
Yes! Because I am supposed to be one of "those" mom bloggers who goes on free trips and gets boxes over boxes of free products to review and blogs for other sites and knows lots of bloggers (dot, dot, dot).
But, I am so bogged down these days that I rarely (if ever) get here and write...which is really pathetic because when I look back on these days years from now it will remind me (AGAIN) how horrible I am with simple planning and organizational skills.
I could easily blog here everyday if I would simply prioritize my life. And yet I let this space linger -- untouched.
In truth, I am truly disappointed with myself because I like being able to write down those things that bother me, inspire me, make me think, make me want to become a better person.
It's 4:20 on Sunday morning and I should be sound asleep. I never sleep. I should rest. Maybe then I could better prioritize and return to active blogging. I should sleep.
I am a blogger. Maybe I should behave like one.
