The Emperor’s New Clothes

I just got through reading “the emperor’s new clothes” to my little boy and I couldn’t help but think: “gosh, that sounds a lot like the bush administration and all of those fools who think so highly of him”.  If you haven’t read this old story you must – it is a timeless classic….it is as if the author looked into the future and saw ole George Bush in his crystal ball.  

We’re Still #1

While we have all been talking about how George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Patriot Act are threats to our freedom, our brothers in Australia have decided to create laws that single out an entire race of people.  It seems that the people down under think that the solution to their epidemic of Aboriginal alcoholism, sex abuse, and teen prostitution is to make pornography and alcohol illegal.  Wouldn’t the solution to this problem be to help these people?  I don’t know about you, but I sure am glad we don’t live in a country that would allow things like this to happen:

How am I getting around with these blinders on?

I am the only LIVING member of my family who has decided that the Republican party is completely insane.  Sure, there were Grandma and Grandpa….but they were just members of the greatest generation – what did they know?  Anyhow, I was recently in a discussion with my sister who ended with “you’re so lost….you are living you life wearing blinders!”.  Gee Wiz!  Why is it that whenever someone doesn’t agree with a Republican (s)he has lost his mind?  Why am I the one wearing blinders?  Why is it me who needs to take a reality check?  Can someone please help me out here and answer the $60,000.00 question?
