I 100% stand behind the drug testing for welfare!!!!!!!! What do you all think?

Busy, busy, busy !!!!!!!

We have all been so busy. Really with all the elections and all I haven't found much time to keep up with it all. Seems to me that every politician needs a paycut, so they can feel the same way that the American people feel. Yet they are asking for raises. If they didn't feel like they were getting paid enough for the job they were doing then why did they want the job? Here's an idea, have them go find new jobs that they feel will better compensate them.

I wish them luck in their NEW adventures!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday morning musings

Well, the cable news and the Weather Service got great ratings because of the hurricane. This one impacted a lot of heavily populated States so it was the major thing on a lot of people's minds. It could have been a lot worse. Floods are bad anywhere but it's not like New Orleans which is like a bowl.  Once water got in there it couldn't get out.  In the Northeast it just flows on down.

I noticed that Michele Bachman, one of the GOP presidential candidates, thinks because of the hurricane and the earthquake that God is trying to tell us that our government spending is out of control, deficit, deficit, deficit.  I wonder if that's the same God that tells women in Texas to kill their kids.  Sometimes the voices in your head mean you're just nuts, not listening to God.  Not saying that she's nuts but I don't think she's playing with a full deck.

This week the US Open Tennis Championship opens in New York City.  They are saying they are starting on time this morning.  Wheeeee.  I've got my next two weeks taken care of.  And for the last five days my computer has been working so I can blog.  I do find a virtual keyboard to be a pain to type on.  So I'll try to be a bit more active.

Military Retirement Pay

Since so many of us are tied to the military, I'd love to see how you all feel about military retirement pay being, I guess you could say taken away, in relation to the economy? Do you think it will happen? Do you think if the economy improves it will be reinstated?

When I was younger I was almost obsessed with understanding how Hitler and the Nazis could take over a country and do such evil things. For probably twenty years I studied World War II because it just didn't make sense to me. Lots of people knew about the death camps, not only in Germany but the rest of the world leaders. One comment I came across that made more sense than most was it only takes good men remaining silent for evil to prevail.

I look at my country now and wonder how the crazies got unleashed. Maybe it was too many sane people staying quiet.

Free Birth Control for Women - Tarav

Sorry, once again, that I have been so inactive with this blog. Having a newborn and a toddler is very time consuming. I am getting better at this whole double duty mommy thing though!

As for the birth control thing, I think it is a fabulous thing! Some of my friends are unable to afford insurance and therefore have to go to planned parenting to get birth control and that alone has caused a lot of problems for them. I am glad that getting birth control has become a little more convenient. Maybe this will help to lower teen pregnancy statistics!
