Elephant In the Room - All roads lead to tyra ROME

Does she really need 3 shows. Am I the only one who fail to "get it" about her? Dear God, please help me. Please help her. Please get rid of at least one of the "enabler" of the "all about me" syndrome/disorder.

Elephant In The Room - Seat "Stealer"

Not quite sure what to make of seat "filling". Those who have done so may have mixed views as well. Those who have blinked,(except palin), held lobby court a little to long or chatted up their fellow colleagues a little to far from seat to find their ticketed seat filled by a steala "filler" as well, may hold a more agitated opinion of the usefulness of this practice.(a phenomenon used mostly by "Hollywood" to give the illusion of standing room only crowd, as if someone looks at their screen and notice 4 vacant seats in a sea of sitters).

The AUDACITY of Despair

Just when you thought you knew all the political maneuverings involved in seating a U.S. president, McCain comes along with a predictably unpredictable new "low". Not only should his supporters be upset but the entire country as well!!!!!!!!! Talk about insult.

Not only was this an insult to the political process and constitution but to every business model used since...[H]e would rather put an entire nation at risk by endorsing a no-name, no-experience of relevance person to take on the responsibilities of VP of the U.S., than to wage a formidable toe-to-toe battle with his opponents.

I bet Sarah Palin is a lovely wife,wonderful mother of five, patriotic and small town political force to be reckoned with - but PLEASE don't underestimate the intelligence of Hillary Clinton's supporters or "18 million cracks" according to Palin. I must say a Hilary/Sarah debate would be quite entertaining despite evidence that the only commonality between these two women is gender...and if the logic of McCain's choice was based on the popularity of the "female factor", then it really shows how much he is anti-everything the presidential political process represents along with a blatant disrespect to his party's more viable candidates.

SHOCK AND AWE - 8/12/08

China's opening ceremony was a world-class spectacular production. Nothing like it before and "Good Luck" to the next Olympic host country that will have to follow....

Meanwhile Tibetans and Darfur continues to suffer at the hands of China's collaboration with and instigation as the oppressor.

If there was an Olympic sport called "humanity", China would not have qualified for competition.

An Adulterous senator's "ex-mistress" who tells all in a book shamelessly hawked on the ex's self-produced television show.

PET PEEVE DU JOUR - 8/12/08

California drivers who expect you to rush crossing street so they can make a right turn on red. The pedestrian, must wait for the "walking white man signal" (another one of California's ridiculous restrictive laws) or risk being ticketed by over-zealous officers for "jaywalking" .

The traffic signal allows an average "cross" duration of 24 seconds:

I'M TAKING BACK EVERY SECOND TAKEN FROM ME
since I'm forced to wait until the "state of California" says its safe for me to cross the street.
