listen to the music. vote in the poll. and make a stupid comment after the blog.

jesus christ. is that too much to ask?


1. I've become interested in this Rod Blagojevich 2nd act. The FBI tapes are fascinating as well as infuriating in the level of corruption. He flat out states that the BEST person for the job is not an option because they don't benefit him politically. But the FBI also jumped the gun in their investigation. why? who were they protected from BUYING that seat? or where they simply trying to ensure THEIR man got the appointment? In one file he is talking about holding back money for pediatric doctors as a bargaining tool.

2. New York City is infected with bed bugs. My sister lives in New York City but is visiting Ohio now. She told me that she can check her apartments status on the Bed Bug Registry through an app on her I-phone. We can't monitor illegal aliens coming across the border but we can check up on the bed bug status through a phone.


3. This democrat vs. republican crap has become tiresome. What has either party done for YOU lately? We've been sold put by both parties but we continue to cling to the hope that one or the other will save us. Can't we get it through our heads, that they are two sides of the same coin? Neither party answers to us. They get their orders from the corporations. Is it their aim to remove our borders, shred our constitution and eliminate the middle class? If so, it's working. It may already be too late. We are so distracted by TV sports, who won on American Idol, and when Lindsey Lohan gets out, that we are are oblivious to it. Sometimes I think we might wake up too late and find ourselves under martial law. Are we too tired to just turn off the boob tube and the crap it tries to spoonfeed us? Do we want more shiny new things so badly, that we are driven to distraction at the cost to our own well being. How hard will we continue to work to buy more stuff. even if that stuff keeps getting more and more expensive.

what will it take for us to get our priorities straight?

do we even have priorities?
