After watching nearly non-stop war

After watching nearly non-stop war coverage on NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX (mostly CBS and ABC), it's come to my attention that Peter Jennings is a Bush hater.
I can't put my finger on exactly why I think this except for there are little things that are reported by Dan Rather that would be in Bush's favor but are not reported by Peter Jennings.
I'm reminded that Jennings is Canadian and nothing against Canada, but they aren't usually Republican-minded.
I don't like it when news reporters let their own political views color their reports.
I'll keep watching Dan Rather as he says, "This war is tighter than the lug nuts on a 57 Chevy."


I can't stop watching this TV coverage. I finally slept today and when I woke, I turned on the news and immediately cursed myself for being weak and sleeping.
I missed the barage of bombing on Baghdad, I missed Rumsfeld and all the spontaneous reporting.


Garage sales rock.
I never go to them but my mom is having one tomorrow.
She has priced and tagged every piece of junk she could find in her utility room, closets and even under her bed.
These things are covered in dust and she's made a feeble attempt at wiping some of it off but she doesn't care. She's been to countless garage sales and knows this is how things are done. You put out something dirty and disgusting and people feel like they've been digging for treasure. They even have the dirty fingernails to prove it!
I went over and put a few items in the garage sale.
I doubt any of my things will sell. There is a Nine West Laptop Briefcase in perfect condition. Now, why do I think people who go to garage sales will want a nice laptop briefcase? There are two Liz Claiborne purses. These purses are in great condition also. They don't have a chance in hell of selling because they are not 75 cents each.
I can't imagine some person dressed in a housecoat, residing in a trailer having a use for nice purses or a laptop briefcase.


I had to show my mom Rachel Lucas' site, I knew she would love the Michael Moore letter.
I read his letter first, to which she said "Oh my God" a few times, then I read her version of the letter and at the end she says, "Well bless her heart."
Rachel should take this as a serious compliment. When a southern woman says "Bless your heart," it's a really good thing!

Ok, I have to talk about these anti-war protesters. I am all for freedom of speech; I think it is an important right. However, these protesters make me want to vomit.
Do these people not watch TV? Do they not read newspapers or history books?
Have they not heard and seen the things Saddam has done to his own people?
The other night on PBS, they had a special on Saddam and one of the things I watched was a film of a meeting that took place right after he took power.
He was very young-looking and the film was in black and white. One of the very first things he did as the leader of this country was to show the rest of the world what he was capable of and what would happen to you if you crossed him.
This meeting took place in a small auditorium. The seats were full of what I am assuming where higher ups in Iraq.
Saddam called out the names of men who considered themselves his friends. Each man stood as his name was called and he was taken away by a guard.
Some screamed in Arabic as they were dragged out of the room because they knew what everyone knew. They were being taken to be assasinated.
In a sick show of sadness, Saddam dabbed at his probably tearless eyes, "crying" over the deaths (of his ordering) of his "friends".
And this is one of the "tame" things this man has done.
So, these protesters think he should stay in power?
What they think is that we should mind our own business. They think we are imposing our will on other countries but obviously they weren't paying attention in their highschool history classes because in WWII, we tried to mind our own business.
We purposely ignored the things that were going on, even when our government knew what Hitler was doing to the Jews.
It didn't matter, though. Do those protesters remember a little event now called Pearl Harbor? It ain't just a movie, folks. It's what happens when we try to mind our own "business".
We can't let that happen again. I'm sure we could have tried to mind our own business just like I'm sure we'd be forced to get involved at some point after we were attacked. How many people have to die before we're "allowed" to protect ourselves?
Besides, this is just my opinion:
What is wrong with us using our considerable power to liberate an obviously oppressed country? These people are dying by the hand of their own leader. Why shouldn't we take advantage of our "riches" and help others?
Of course, things like this are happening all over and I wish we could help them all.

Oops! Gotta run...Andromeda is on!
