My Mom Rocks!
Has anyone else been following this story that broke Friday, Jan. 19. I know, I'm slow, but I try to stay plastered to
the news only 3 days out of the week so I don't go postal.
Anyway, my coming back from my "sanity break" I found Fox News had done up a whole to-do on Barak Obama.
Just watch the video, see the over-excited anchors salivating to let loose with their "bombshell". Listen to the callers
who are reminisent of a KKK rally. Is America really this afraid of anyone claiming to be Muslim? (Of course, Mr. Obama isn't
even Muslim...but did they care? Nope. They were happy to smear smear smear)
And the "retraction" is even worse:
I can honestly say I felt icky after watching that last one. Those are horrible, retched people. And my Mom...being the
blessed saint she is wrote this email to Fox News:
I have a question. Why would any thinking
person watch Fox News for serious coverage of the 2008 Presidential Campaign? The alleged story on Barack
Obama is a prime example of your lack of credibility. I am saddened by the fact that any American gave
credence to such a display of total ignorance. What kind of an idiot decides to vote, or not vote for someone
because of a school his parents sent him to when he was six? What was he suppose to do, tell his parents
that he would be running for President of the United States when he grew up, and refuse to go? Of course,
that beats the heck of “I have a tummy ache, I can’t go to school.” How petty do you have to be, to think
that is news worthy? I would laugh about it, but it’s so embarrassing, sad, and hateful, I just have to
let you know, most of us are not as stupid as you obviously think we are.
Oh, snap! And that's why she's my hero.

The things I read
Well, now that I have some new glasses for my face (and boy I am going blind!), I was able to read an editorial
that used a phrase I haven't heard in a while. In fact, I was hoping the phrase had been purged from our collective vocabulary,
but alas, it's not dead yet.
Reverse Racism
I can't stand this term. It's stupid. It's like insult to injury because now even white people's racism is
better than anyone elses! Here I am arguing for people's racism to be equal!
So, please, after reading this diatribe strike the phrase from your vocabulary. From here on out just call
it like it is...Racism. Anyone can suffer from this horrible affliction. Anyone. If you are white and it happens to you, it's
not some special fluffy magical version of racism.

It's the Little Battles that Count
I've been dieting for years now. It's just an on-going thing for me. A long time ago, I decided to just make small
changes as I can to see what effect it has. Well, for one, I may not be losing much late, but I have certainly stopped gaining
weight! I haven't gone over my current weight in 3 years. That's got to be good for something. We eat more whole grains
and more veggies. I've cut out 98% of my pop consumption. I also pay way more attention to how many calories I am eating throughout
the day. Anyway, today's battle was against my sweet tooth. I really wanted a danish and coffee. I even planned a
trip to Starbucks. But the thought of their calorie content was killing me. So, I went to the local grocery store. I looked
over all the tempting doughnuts and (here's the victory) I didn't want anything I saw in the display. Don't get me wrong,
it was all lovely and tasty looking, but I didn't want any of it. So, I bought a turkey sandwich instead.
