Can you hear me now?

When the people talk, the U.S. Government listens.

That may be a flippant takeoff on the old E.F. Hutton ads, but it's looking more and more true -- and sinister -- each day.

First, government officials said that calls from America to foreign lands were being monitored in the war against terror.

Then we read in USA Today that tens of millions of Americans' phone call records were given to federal officials covertly so that "patterns could be detected".

Then ABC journalist Brian Ross learns from an unnamed senior federal official that he and another reporter, Richard Esposito, had had their phone calls monitored by the FBI.

One FBI official even remarked that Americans should get new cell phones.

I once again ask, WHAT COUNTRY ARE WE LIVING IN?!

We just "liberated" Iraq so that the people can live "free" and have the same rights that we enjoy here. Iraqis, you too can "freely" live with the government monitoring you, spying on you, harassing you. Wow...want Saddam back?

Can we get someone to come liberate us from Bush?

I second that. I want to be liberated from Bush. Why isn't he impeached yet??

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin. Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
