Bullying

I had a thought last night as the news was going on and on about the upcoming presidential election.  They were talking about the back and forth of "He said.....well he said.....and he said...."  You know the garbage that goes on and suddenly it made me think that it was a form of bullying.  Do you see it?  It's a grown up kind of bullying and name calling.  Do we ever grow up and get away from our youth?  Why can't we play nice on the playground and quit the name calling and verbal shoving that is going on.  Every four years, no wait every year it goes on and on.  We are trying to teach our children not to bully, not to shove, not to be mean to other people, yet here we are everyday on the television a reminder that we are not doing what we preach.  How will we ever change?  How will we ever make an impression on our children to be better people when we NEVER change.  I don't care if it's the name of the game in politics, STOP IT!

Stepping down from the soapbox.

Super Tuesday

Today is Super Tuesday here in Oklahoma.  I really can't wait till this stupid election is over, mainly to have different news to watch.  I'm already tired of the commercials and every single news program is nothing but election stuff.  The main thing I'm ready to end are the phone calls.  They come every single day, several times a day, Sunday's included.  Yesterday, when I got home from a very long day at the office I checked our phone messages which usually area NONE.  There were no less than six messages, one was a message we needed.  That meant five were political and they were all within less than an hour.  I'm glad I wasn't home.  Last night I went to the walking group and while The Hubby was home but on a walk with Clayton I came home to find the light blinking.  There were another three messages, one an actual message.  It is just ridiculous.  I deal with sales crap calls all day long at the office and trust me, you don't want me to answer your phone call.  Normally I am a very nice person on the phone but sales calls and now political calls...OOOOOOooooo!  Unfortunately the political ones are usually automated and recorded,  I can't rail at anyone person! 

Politics...??? Who Me!

Two down and four to go. Do you think more will drop and we can start all over again! Here's to wishing!  We need a whole new cast of characters please.


Mitt Romney
Ron Paul
Rick Santorum
Rick Perry
Newt Gingrich
Jon Huntsman

I'm blah, blah, blah and I approve this message!

It is that time of year and I'm already DONE with it.

Our street corners...

Our mailbox...

and let's not forget the television...

"I'm blah, blah, blah, and I approve this message!"

Should I or Shouldn't I

Should I or shouldn't I have an opinion, a political opinion.  I have tried to not have any kind of political opinion on this blog and really what I'm about to say is not really political but morally right and out of anger and frustration.  This is to all the politicians and oil guys and blow hards.  I have been watching the news as has everyone else about the BP Scandal and all and it is just making me sick.  What I see is a tragedy that has happened in the ocean, not necessarily the US ocean but "OUR" ocean, the world.  It has affected us and the gulf coast so terribly that my heart is just broken.  The people, their livlihoods, their future, hopes and dreams are just crushed.  Their lives as they knew it are done, just done.  Our world will never be the same and I'm not just talking financially I'm talking about the actual world, the earth.  We as people of this earth are stewards of it and we have failed miserably to take care of it.  What is the matter here people.  I am watching the stupid hearings or whatever they are called with the BP exec on the hotseat and the congress people, blah, blah, blah.  He did it, she did it, they did it, I didn't do it, well neither did I, it's not my fault....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.  Is that all they can do is jabber.  Get out of your seats and DO SOMETHING.  I do not want to wait around while you hash out blame.  Put on some hazemat suits and FIX IT, blame later.  Politicians, all they are good for is talk, talk, talk but no do.  Stand up, move from behind the podium and DO SOMETHING!  This goes to everyone, right down to Tony Hayward and everyone involved, put on the bright yellow suit and WORK!  I cannot take another picture of an oil drenched bird flapping around, dying with the stuff.  My heart hurts by the sadness of it all.  People, stand up and pay attention to our world and how fragile it is.  We are killing this earth with this crap.
