What a Face to Wake Up To

Shame on CBS for polluting my Mother's Day morning with Dick Cheney of all people. The Republicans can't understand why they are a dying party? Here's a hint: stop letting Darth Vader go on television to tell boogeyman stories of people with different religions from different parts of the world. He actually said he would rather have a hate-mongering, drug-addict speak for the party, a.k.a. Rush (OxyContin) Limbaugh than a war-proven general, Colin Powell. Lions for Lambs anyone?

I saw a newspiece on the Saudi Arabian plan for Guantanamo prisoners that return to their country on CBS none-the-less last week. They try to assimilate them into the Western society as quickly as possible by buying them a car, a house, and providing them with a job. So far, they have a 90% success rate. These men actually realize that they were duped by a fanatical side of their religion. Let's let the experts - the military - run this now, and leave the Lambs out of it.

The Republicans will not have their party grow until they become inclusionary and not exclusionary. Listen to kids like Megan McCain, and you might grow again. More on that later...

Had a great Mom's Day despite working. Tay won her game on Saturday, and we hiked the new trail with the dogs after the kids split for their friend's houses. The hubby made me a great dinner, right down to the Almond - Soy Asian salad. Now it's back to crunch time.
