News Clips & Ramblings

Condi Rice is attending the Superbowl, and like me, will be cheering on the Steelers. On the other hand, evil Bill Gates is rooting for the Seahawks. (His friend and parter Paul Allen owns the team.) I won't feel the least bit bad when that thief is crying in his beer.

Some advice for Cindy Sheehan: If you plan on running against DiFi for the Senate seat, being arrested twice is not a way to win voters' hearts.

Prince Henry will be deploying to Basra, Iraq in May 2007. Hooah!

Apparently, I'm not the only one disgusted with the media's coverage of reporters Woodruff and Vogt. Over 2,200 have given their life for the cause, and thousands more wounded. Two reporters get wounded and the press pats themselves on the back for days for going into battle to bring you slanted news. I didn't hear once of the 11 soldiers KILLED in the same week the two ABC newsmen were INJURED. I didn't think my faith in the media could drop, but I guess I was expecting too much.

Five states are working toward legislation banning abortion in their states. Their plan: appeal and appeal up to the SCOTUS with the hope of overturning Roe. I'm for it. As a pro-choicer (pro-death), I would love to see women continue to have control over their bodies. But Roe was just a horrible ruling. Nowhere in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights does it give women the right to abortion. The decision should be up to the people and their state legislators. If the people want the right, let them have it. Where would we be if Ted Kennedy's mom was pro-choice? Probably in a better nation. (I'm sure that comment will come back to haunt me.)

I leave Feb. 26th for Ft. Bliss, TX, spend a week processing, then am deploying to Baghdad, Iraq.
