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.

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...

What's in a name? Everything.

I'm appalled. You can call it King or Duke or Princess or M'lady of Everloving Windsor. But you cannot call it Queen. It is not Queen. Will never be Queen again. Freddie Mercury was the heart and soul and voice and face and pianist and songwriter and co-founder of that '70s & '80s phenomenal English rock band. Yet, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor have trotted some singer named Paul Rodgers on stage, on tour, on a new album, and are calling themselves Queen. Technically, they're referring to themselves as Queen + Paul Rodgers. I'm sorry, but two washed-up has-been musicians and some former singer for Bad Company does not somehow magically make it OK to blaspheme Freddie like this. The band HE fronted was the one inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. MTV named Mercury the second greatest singer in the history of popular music. I realize that many bands suffer this fate as members retire or die and others t...
