Easter Sunday, 4:00 p.m., 44 degrees . . . it's snowing. What in the ?
Did Katie Couric say a racist thing on "Larry King Live"? The other night Larry said that John McCain said that he would not run a negative campaign. Larry then asked Katie if she thought that was true. She said yes, she thought John McCain would not be negative but that often times it's other people on the campaign staff create negativity. She said it happens when "they [meaning campaign staffers] go off the reservation." Now, I think that might be a little slanderous towards Native Americans. Like, "The Indians have left the nice little reservations provided by the White Man and there's no controlling them." I may be way off base . . . if so, tell me.
Finally, I keep seeing ads about televisions not equipped to handle digital signals will be obsolete by early 2009. I guess there's some kind of conversion box you can buy and apparently you can get discount coupons for those boxes from PBS. Again, I realize it would behoove me to have all the pertinent facts about this situation before me before I get all wound up, but I'm sure that would take all the fun out of it. So . . . if the people in charge of television and cable can figure out a way to make it mandatory for all households to have digital-ready televisions, why can't some smart people make it mandatory for all households to have at least one hybrid car? Oh, wait. I'm guessing that might have something to do with the billions of dollars oil/gas companies make. Ok, how about mandating a flat prescription drug fee for ALL drugs? Or maybe reworking "No Child Left Behind" so that teachers (especially special ed teachers), who are already overworked and underpaid, don't have to fill out reams of reports just to get a pittance of federal funding? Ok, s-s-s-immmer down . . . I'm just sayin' . . .

woe is me right now.
i'm sitting in a laundry place where i have a horrible headache!
i'm sitting at these chairs by the door, which just so happens to be opening every two minutes from the horrendous wind beating the side of the building!
so every time it opens, i get blasted with a burst of wintry wind!
hope all is well with you.
i love you.
-p.s.-
the building across the street from where i'm doing my laundry is called "Emporia Anesthesia"
hahaha
hear hear! i support the hybrid (with a little help on the finances) and paying our teachers more and supplying them with what they need to teach our children.
yes, the reservation comment was not p.c. but since when do we care about being p.c. concerning native americans? there's been no restoration and most americans still think the "land" we supplied them with is just fine. i wonder if the media noticed katie's slip...or maybe she was talking about dinner reservations and they wanted to sit at the bar.
