Open Letters

While we were paying attention to. . .

. .. Wright and Wrong, there was another scandal , brewing in Washington that once again seemed to have missed the main stream media’s attention.

Where is story?

What's wrong with this picture?

Here’s what we are looking at:

§         Climate Crisis

§         The Country is in a recession

§         The oil price over $4.00 per gallon

§         Housing foreclosure doubled since January

§         Wall Street powerhouses straining to stay afloat

§         The US dollar descending against the Euro

§         War in Iraq

§         War in Afghanistan

§         Rumors of more war (Iran)

And all they gnash about is Rev Wright! The main stream media is driving me nuts.

Great article about this by Bob Cesca

MSM Travesty

As we all watched Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s sound bytes played over and over again for the last few weeks, I like many Obama supporters wished that it would just simply go away. Not because I was so appalled at what was being played (I had watched the sermon in context), but because I figured white America would never understand the Africa American church experience. I knew his words were taken out of context and if main stream media journalist watched the same sermon, and still take away from it that Rev. Wright is a radical, then the road to uniting our differences would never happen.

I watched the Bill Moyers PBS interview with Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Friday night, and I anxiously await the following day’s reports of the pundits review and analysis. Nothing! Zip! Nada! Just a few writings here and there, and then I thought where is the outrage? Why aren’t people angry that they were made a fool of by main stream media? Why aren’t they asking for the firing of a few journalists? As Liberalscumbuster puts it "WHOEVER PUT TOGETHER THOSE JEREMIAH WRIGHT SNIPPETS SHOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL"                            

The articles I have read of people who watched the interview came away with a different impression of who Rev. Wright is. He is not a wacko, he not a radical, he is not crazy; he is not an angry man spewing hate. Any person who watched this interview and is honest with themselves would agree that the sound bytes were not an actual representation of what Rev. Wright actually said. Why would the media spin such a story? What good does it do our nation to create divisiveness? Who is in charge of these networks and how could they allow such shoddy journalism to prevail, since apparently they failed to fully investigate who Jeremiah Wright is, his ministry, listened to his whole sermons, his military background etc? If that was done, and they continue to demonize him, then the primary purpose is to mislead the American people.

As Rev. Wright in the interview said “If all you knew of Jesus was a continuous loop of him beating the vendors out the temple, we would have a different impression of him” I said Amen!

Sequels are bad

We were watching TV the other day and out of the corner of my eyes I saw my 2 year old walking around in circles with this smile on his face. I turned my full attention to him as his circles got tighter and tighter. Then suddenly he stops and looked at us, chuckled and said “Pininin fun!” (Spinning is fun) Yeah, I know. .. So damn cute!

                            

Then I thought “So said the politicians and the media pundits!” Isn’t this Democratic election exhausting? Every few weeks there is another Super Tuesday, where it’s the one that’s going to determine the nominee. It's well known that sequels are usually bad, now the political process  has downgraded to a mindless daily soap opera.

                            

Oui stop the madness!

Impossible Conception

There is something to be said about being sick and the only means of entertainment is mindless television.

                            

I laid in bed all last week anxiously awaiting the Oprah episode of the “Pregnant Man” I even remember dropping my son off at my parents, and telling them that I must get back home quickly because I didn’t want  to miss Oprah. After every sound-bit I would think, “How is this possible?” Is there new medical discovery?”

                            

Well I was sorely disappointed. I thought there was going to be ground breaking news about how men could get pregnant (hell the thought of my husband pregnant is highly hilarious). The show was simply about a “bearded woman who was pregnant”.

                            

I don’t care if a woman takes hormones so that she get hairy, deepens her voice or grow her clitoris to penis length; then changes legal documents to correlate to outward appearances. It’s still a woman, borne one and that’s it.

                            

I was so pissed! At least I am better now
