Welcome to democracy and the stupidity that goes with it. These 'filmmakers' and 'artists' make some totally disgusting videos, get a who-knows-what to do a little internet salespitch, and this is the reaction? Ironically, the countries where violence is now erupting aren't used to the concept/idea/privelege of free speech and aren't used to the concept that just because it is out there, on the internet, or even other media forms, doesn't mean it is government-sanctioned. If we want to spread democracy, we might as well throw in the bill of rights and constitution, and all the pitfalls that come with it, not to mention the tolerance and patience required before any opposing parties just kill each other in broad daylight. It's almost overly simplistic to ask whatever happened to the old 'sticks and stones' retorical question except now the sticks are icbms and stones are ied's?
This blog is intended to be therapeutic, and maybe there are others out there who are as confused and dumbfounded as I am about the state of the world as well as the people in it. I have to laugh in order to preserve my sanity! Feel free to comment (if anyone reads this:). :)
My dog makes more sense than the news:)
Oh, to trade lives with my Daisy!

Please wake me the second week in November!
Well, wow, where to start and keep it short? Todd Aiken who I not so affectionately call Odd Fakin made some really bizarre remarks about women's bodies and their abilities. Then he so not-so-intelligently put together a campaign-related apology where he revealed that rape can result in pregnancy. Thank God he cleared that up! Where would we be without this second coming of stupidity to guide us in Washington! What a team player that he wouldn't step down at the request of most intelligent people! His six??? seconds that we know about are what his mindset was to set policy in DC! If he had any balls and concern for the state of the Republican party he would go teach women's studies somewhere and not further embarass Missouri. If this state is stupid enough to vote him in, I want to move. What if he made those comments before the primary?
The saddest part in commentaries (besides Odd Fakin not bowin out gracefully) is the 'anyone but Claire' mentality. I may fall in a small group but every vote counts and I was in that group but now with Todd, I shifted to anyone but Todd. If he had any concern for those besides himself, I would have voted republican. Take a hint from Spock from Star Trek. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, and Todd, YOU ARE NOT THE ONE. You may be the one to lose the seat. Thanks so much for your self serving concern.
