Holy cow, another mass exodus from the blog again! Or did everyone have a stroke (like I almost did) after watching the Democratic Debate on Fox last night? I was exercising during that and being out of shape anyway I felt weak and ill. Could've just been the debate. ;-P I *think* I recovered....but I tell ya, I haven't had my emotions in a blender on puree like that for a long time. I was disheartened at all the Bush bashing that went on- they are so quick to point out his weaknesses and how "terrible" everything is now, but they don't offer up any solutions (or, maybe rather the description I should use is steps to solving). They say what they are going to do, but never the steps. I think it was more of a Bush bashing celebration that an actual debate. The topper was when Carol Moseley Braun compared Mayflower passengers and slave ships to people crossing the Rio Grande. The key part of this statement that I have a massive problem with is the "people crossing the Rio Grande" part. Those "people" aka ILLEGALS are NOT in the same class as the first two. The first two paid their dues, illegals have NOT. I know not everyone who "runs for the border" has malicious or dishonest intentions; I know that some really do want to become an integral part of this country and pay their dues like everyone else- and more power to them. I don't know, besides all the Bush bashing, that comment stood out above all else that was said. I just think it was an insult to people who fall into those first two groups, as well as everyone else who came here the correct way- going through Ellis Island or becoming a true blue citizen of the US. I told Kevin that if Bush isn't re-elected and one of these nine are, I'm really going to need medication, and I'm only 1/4 to half joking about that. **Rant over**

Anyway....where *is* everyone?? I take it that there haven't been any hotties on the last few days.....I've noticed that Dan Springer is reporting in the AM from Iraq instead of Greg Palkot (I think most of this week). Well, it's early and I haven't had my coffee really yet, so I'm out of things to say for now. Later!
