Does anyone else see this?

Anyone else out there think that Maria Schriver could play the Crypt Keeper?

Frankly, if she walked around a corner in the dark, and I ran into her, I'd probably die of fright!

Condoleezza Rice: Hypocrit of the Year!

Condoleezza Rice has recently made several statements to the press about the state of affairs in Russia that I find quite offensive. Rice said she hoped the efforts of rights activists (in Russia) would promote universal values of "the rights of individuals to liberty and freedom, the right to worship as you please, and the right to assembly, the right to not have to deal with the arbitrary power of the state."

I'm sorry, but she must live in a United States of America that I don't anymore. Since 9/11, any person in the U.S. wishing to protest President Bush at one of his public speaking events, have been rounded up by the Secret Service and placed two or three miles away in what they term "Free Speech Zones". Usually a parking lot of an abandoned building surrounded by a chain-link fence. The protestors are told they can have their "freedom of speech" there. The media aren't allowed to film or talk to these people, and of course all you see on TV are people waving "Support Our Troops" signs and signs showing pro-Bush slogans.

Ms. Rice is worried about Russians possibly not having the right to assembly or free speech, yet she hasn't seemed concerned for quite some time about U.S. citizens apparently no longer having those rights!

She also seems to think that the Russian government may be becoming one-sided with all the power being held by one faction of it. Damn! I guess she hasn't been hearing all the talk around this country about how the Executive branch of our government has become too powerful, overshadowing, and even bullying the other two branches of our government (the legislative and judicial branches) into getting what they want. Gee, doesn't Ms. Rice work for the Executive branch of the government? I think she does, and apparently as long as you're the one in charge, it doesn't seem so bad a thing!

I think it's time that our government, and it's representatives like Ms. Rice, start looking at what they themselves are up to and clean house here in the U.S. before worrying about what others' are doing in their own back yards!

Meet Steve Jobs, hypocrit

All these years, Steve Jobs and Apple have been telling us about the mighty Goliath, Microsoft, and how they try and monopolize the marketplace and leave consumers without any choices. Then along comes the I-phone from Apple that's supposed to revolutionize the cell phone industry. While the I-phone itself is pretty amazing, the network it's tied to, AT&T isn't. Then along comes some ingenious people who figure out how to crack the I-phone and allow it to be used on other networks.

Now Steve Jobs announces that they're going to fight I-phone users being able to use their product on other networks.

Gee, Steve, who's become Goliath now, telling consumers what they can and can't do with the product they legally purchased?

George W. Bush killed Nelson Mandela

Haha! George W. Bush today once again proved what an "ASS" he is... here's a quote from his news conference today...

"Part of the reason why there's not this instant democracy in Iraq is because people are still recovering from Saddam Hussein's brutal rule. Sort of an intersting comment, I heard somebody say, `Where's Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas."

Sorry, George W., Nelson Mandela is alive and well!

Also, George Bush is threatening to veto a bill being pushed forward by Democrats to increase spending on Children's health insurance by $35 billion, to a total expenditure of $60 billion. He continued to say, "Members of Congress are putting poor children at risk so they can score political points in Washington," Bush said. He said that "more than a million children could lose health coverage" if the program is allowed to expire....of course what he's not saying is that without the extra $35 billion even more children will continue to go without health insurance coverage.
It's ok to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a war in Iraq that no one in this country wants, but GOD forbid we'd spend a small portion of that money on our own children!!
