Gulity, really?

Isn't this the guy who has been proclaiming his innocence in the Abramoff scandal since it all started? I can't help but wonder at this point, how far does this go? Apparently there are photos of Abramoff with the President. Can it be possible that W and Jack were in bed together? I say most definitely. DeLay is still under investigation for his involvement and should be charged as well. I can't wait for all these crooked sons-of-bitches to be on their knees begging their voters and the American public to forgive them. They will take responsibility by blaming their actions on a prescription drug addiction, or an alcohol addiction, or a golfing addiction. They'll serve their time in the Federal prisons with special sections for white-collar criminals and then they will go to their home states and live out the rest of their lives in peace and prosperity living on their Congressional pensions. It is getting really tiresome listening and reading about all these people who have taken advantage of their positions just because "that's the way it has always been". My hope is that they are all held accountable and a "new breed" of congressman/woman be born from all this scandal. Will it happen? Probably not. But we can be cautiously optimistic.

Stop the High Fives!

I really hate football season. The fantasy leagues, the pools, the armchair quarterbacking, the Monday mornings when people are talking about what a great game so-and-so had yesterday and how many yards he had passing/running. It's not that I don't like the game of football. I actually enjoy it thoroughly. But I cannot stand all the analysts and talking and "human interest" stories the reporters down on the field do. And the celebrity watching by the cameras in the stands. Just because TomKat is on the Redskins sidelines, doesn't make the 'Skins somehow a better team. Can we just watch the game? Do we have to have John Madden or Joe Theisman or some other retired player/coach tell us what is going through the mind of the left tackle right before the ball snaps? The play-by-play is tolerable, but everything else is too much. I want to hear the sounds of the game. I want to hear the crunch of bones; the slap of skin against pads; the thud of bodies on top of bod...

"C" Word

What is it about the "C" word that most women find so offensive? I tried to use it today when I was cut off by some bitch on her cell phone driving her 47 kids around in the Expedition. I could see that she was quite distracted by all the goings-on in her vehicle, but come on!! I had to slam on my brakes and almost get hit by the car behind me. I was so mad that I tried to call her the "C" word, but it wouldn't come out of my mouth. I was left wondering why I couldn't say it. Maybe it's the same as Tony who hates the word "nipple" or Jenna who hates the word "moist", or Megan who hates the word "scaffolding"? Scaffolding? really? Why would you use "hate" to describe your feelings about scaffolding? Hmmm. I just don't know why I hate the "C" word. It brings to mind that scene in "Silence of the Lambs" when Clarice Starling goes to the prison to meet Hannibal and gets Migs' semen thrown a...

Bah Humbug

As the "holiday season" gets into full swing, I feel the need to vent about how much I hate this season. Really, it is the day after Turkey to December 25 th . The week between X-mas and New Year's is probably one of my favorite weeks of the year. All the pressure to get the perfect gift has been lifted and I can enjoy the company of friends and family without having to worry about whether the wrapping paper I chose is appropriate. When I was a teenager and my parents had recently divorced, there was a lot of responsibility placed on my 16-year-old-shoulders to transport myself and 2 sisters to all the right places at all the right times. Mom's house for breakfast, Grandma's house for lunch, Dad's house for early dinner, Auntie's house for late dinner and finally (phew!) to another Grandperson's house for dessert. It should be noted that these locations were all over the county. There was at least a 30 minute car ride between all of them. "Everyo...
