Random Thoughts

Hello my dear friends. We'll take the sunshine where ever we can find it! While I was resting in the warm sunlight, several things crossed my mind and I thought I would share them with you. First, my serious thoughts:
->  Those poor kids in Chardon, Ohio. So young, so senseless. My heart breaks for their families. Will this type of insanity ever end?
->  This Country is $15 trillion dollars in debt, growing at a rate of $10 billion a month, and we just spent $750,000 taxpayer dollars to build a soccer field for inmates at Guantanamo Bay. Seriously?
->  A judge just acquitted a Megabus driver of criminally negligent homicide charges for crashing his bus into a bridge, killing four people. The judge also ruled that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of failure to obey a traffic control device. This means, even though he admitted he was fiddling with his GPS at the time of the crash, even though he passed 13 warning signs about the low clearance and, even though his own attorney said he (the driver) "was responsible for a large portion of what happened", Onondaga County Court Judge Anthony Aloi ruled that the bridge, not the driver was to blame. Seriously Judge Aloi, SERIOUSLY?
Okay, on to less serious matters....
->  The new cast of Dancing with the Stars was announced, with much fanfare, on GMA this morning.  Big Freakin deal, right? Geez, you'd think they were announcing the next Pope. I kept watching for the white smoke. Instead, they introduced the likes of Sherrie Shepherd and the dude who played Urkel.
->  There's an ad in the paper for "Chiweenie" puppies.  These, if you're wondering, are a Chihuahua and Dachshund mix. We used to call those Mutts. Now, someone (with way too much time on their hands) makes up a cute name and charges a thousand dollars for them!
->  My captor (Grumpy) has been planning this vacation (blowing off my Birthday) since last September. It's now 4 days away and she has a head cold. Karma? You be the judge. (Just don't be Judge Aloi).
->  Erykah Badu has been banned from performing in Malaysia after a photo of her, showing a temporary tattoo of the Arabic word for Allah, appeared in a Kuala Lumpur newspaper. Muslim groups say she is a bad role model for Malaysian girls. Bad role model? How about bad singer? Right move, wrong reason.
