WHAT'S HAPPENED TO US!
I think in the time I have been away from this blog, this country has gone mad. Not that I haven't been involved in crazy things myself, too numerous to answer, and too mundane for people who aren't involved to give a rat's arse. Shall I start with the murderer who got away with killing her daughter?
Casey Marie Anthony and her attorney's pulled off the coup of the year. She got away with murder and 64% of the people in the US agree with that statement. She'll be out of jail on Sunday; nutty publishers, TV show producers, book publishes, untold numbers of publicity seekers are willing to pay her huge bucks to appear, write her memoirs (would you believe that story?)and be in the limelight.
Then there are the others who believe there was no justice for Caylee Marie Anthony, who want everyone in the world to boycott anything she is involved in. Do you want to see her grinning smirk, her flirty eyes, on the TV or movie screen, on the back cover of a book? I think it is a horrible thought that she will make money off the death of that beautiful child.
And then there's our wonderful Senate who refuses to talk sensibly about raising the debt ceiling, won't roll the tax cuts back to pre-George Bush rates, will allow our national credit rating in the world go down the tubes (making our interest rates on debts go sky high), and insist that Social Security and Medicare be cut to all seniors as their number one way of lowering our debt in the future. Boehner cannot even control his own party and he wants to control this country??? And that bimbo, Michelle Bachman, says that not raising the debt ceiling will not mean we can't pay our debts, nor will it affect social security checks for August. And,of course, the poor in our country can find a job on August 1 when their benefits run out and immediately take care of their children. Yeah, right.
So should I really take all of this seriously? What can I do about any of it?
Not much, I must agree. But I can do what other Americans continue to do--speak out at the inequities in this country. Defend the dead and defenceless. Make our votes count in the next election. These are all our rights as Americans--even though several Republican friends assure me that if there was only one party in this country--Republican--this country would flourish. I have one question for them:
Where all all the jobs Bush created by cutting the taxes of the wealthiest individuals and corporations in America?????
