Despondent...

What a sad day. Among the day's events that had me wishing it was all a nightmare from which I would soon awake:

My president. No, the president of my country, AGAIN used the word "nu-cu-lur" in the State of the Union address.

Coretta Scott King died.

Samuel Alito became the newest justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Nice knowing you, Roe v. Wade.

The 100th British soldier died in Iraq.

My boss announced that he was being promoted, throwing my work situation into turmoil. AGAIN.

And I'd add that Walk the Line was left out of the Oscar nominee list for best picture...but that sounds a little trivial compared most other events I listed. Still...Munich? Really?

I'm going to bed. Maybe tomorrow will be better. I don't see how.

You must be more optimistic! If a day is THAT bad then surely the next one MUST be better.
And I'm so sick of this abortion split. Stupid Republicans need to realize that if they make abortion illegal, then people will still do them - but in back alleys and get all sorts of diseases and stuff.
I still haven't seen Walk the Line. I haven't seen Munich either but I'd rather see the other one first.. And didn't War of the Worlds get nominated for something? *shudder* If I have to see Tom Cruise anytime soon I will vomit.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...
