A woman fell out of a roller coaster in Texas. Now we have determined that some oversite is needed by the Government. What happened to COMMON SENSE? Can't find that in the Government.
The Pope is visiting Brazil. He's from South America. People are so happy. The crowds waiting along the road to see the Pope have become unruly to the point it isn't safe for him to visit. Certainly makes sense to me. (sarcasm).
George Zimmerman was found innocent in his murder trial. Some people found that a reason to riot. Obviously, trashing private and public property is an approiate response. Our system, however flawed, worked as intended. A jury (chosed by defense and prosecution) found doubt of guilt. End of story? No. It continues to be a Black and White issue. There cannot ever be an end.
With all that is happening in the world, is the best headline one about the birth of another baby in the Royal Family in England?
The best story today? A plane landing at New York wrecked and a couple people were injured slightly. Thank goodness all the rest of the worlds problems were solved earlier! (sarcasm)
Saw an advertisement for the Wounded Warrior Project. Seems wounded military people do not have all the necessary care needed. I, as a taxpayer, have no problem with giving these people all the care they need in response to what they have given serving us. Why are their needs un-met by our government?
Arizona has a Stupid Motorist Law. If you drive into a flood and require assistance to save your dumb-ass, you will get a bill. I like that.
FINALLY, the President is going to give speeches about the economy. Sounds like a good solution to me. Make sure to give those in Detroit!

stupid has rights
Rolling Stone magazine published an issue with the surviving Boston Marathon bomber on the cover. The fallout has been immense.
While I am tired of the glorification of turds like the "Bomber", I strongly support our right to free speech. The end result of Rolling Stone publishing this issue is yet to be known. Their purposed serious story is, again, well within their right, even if not the smartest thing. That is one of the beauties of living where we do. We have a right to be stupid.
I have not seen or read the article. I have no desire. I have always been of the opinion that Rolling Stone is an entertainment magazine. Therefore I have formulated the opinion their latest cover story is purely an attempt to raise circulation. It has certainly put their name on the lips of many non-readers, even if it has not raised readership.
Remember, stupid people/organizations, have rights.

Let them eat cake.
It's been awhile since I have been here. Many reasons, none of which are valid!
Alot has been happening. Biggest news today is the impending birth of another Royal in England. Apparently, I am the only person in the world that is not holding their breath in anticipation of the historic event. I understand that I live in a country that has no tradition that rivals the chain of Monarchs that have ruled England. I am astounded at the costs associated with maintaining a Royal family that has become "for show only".
I do, however, relate Englands Royal family costs to the exhorbitant costs of maintaining a government here in America. We are always learning more about those costs. Wheather it is a vacation in Hawaii for our "Royal Family", the Obamas, or the staggering amout of money we spend on housing and transportation for Washington's political members, or the Millions we spend on Military bases that we never occupy. The similarities are there. Even to the point that our Government is mostly show, just like Britian's Royal Family.
In a time when many Countries are rebelling against their Governments, some very violently, it would seem that across the globe things are changing. General populations are becoming very tired of Government mis-management. Current economic crisis conditions are having a hugh effect on the quality of life in many regions and people are tiring and patience is becoming short. It would seem that at some point, our infatuation of the famous and wealthy might become a sore point. Remember the French Monarchy......Marie Antoniette? She never really said "let them eat cake", but her actions seemed to insinuate that behavior. In-action can have the same affect. Gonverments that continue to overspend or have become in-active may want to take a look at the growing un-rest.
We should all be able to afford to eat cake.
