A Keith Olbermann Quote

Okay, I just heard this on Keith Olbermann.  He said, "Sarah Palin is about to find out what a community organizer does.  Obama has organized the voters and is working to send her back to her community."  I laughed out loud!  He is so clever!  By the way, did anyone catch Ben Affleck's impersonation of him on Saturday Night Live?  It was great stuff.  And hey, what did you think of the fake French President's prank phone call to Sarah Palin?  I'll tell you, you couldn't make this stuff up, could you?

If I never hear John McCain's voice ever again, it will be too soon.  I am so sick of all his lies.  I firmly believe he will have to account for all the lies he has knowingly told during this campaign, just to try and win!

I also heard that George W. Bush is planning on undoing a whole bunch of regulations that make the workplace safer, protect the environment, and/or keep watch over a variety of businesses, including big oil as his last act to mess up this country.  This is just so typical of his entire reign for the last eight years--stick it to the citizen, and protect the multi-millionaires.  This guy cannot be out of office quick enough!

Alright, alright, enough ranting!
Love you all,  Claudia

Laugh it up, Fuzzball

It isn't very often that I laugh out loud at something I read (okay, maybe you HAVE heard me laugh out loud at something I read), but after this past year at school, I'm always grateful to find something funny.  This week's NEWSWEEK magazine did just that.  In last week's issue they had panned Bill O'Reilly's new book, "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity", and of course Bill-O went on air and trashed the editor, and trashed the magazine with 'its far-left posture'.  

Not to let a perfect opportunity go by, NEWSWEEK staffers felt duty-bound to offer up more-constructive criticism, and offered the following alternate titles for his book:

1.  "A Big Steaming Lump of Male Vanity"
2.  "A Deep Barking Voice of Inanity" and my personal favorite...
3.  "A Large Bag of Gas Who's No Hannity"

Tee Hee.

They also had an interesting article by Kathleen Deveny about little girls being labeled bossy.   Those are many times the same girls who are called the B-word when they grow up to be assertive women.  She noted, correctly so, that little boys NEVER get called bossy, and that it's a very sexist label.  Anyway, having been a somewhat bossy little girl, I thought it made for very interesting reading.  

So...here I am, reading away my summer!  Love,  Claudia
