This has been quite a

This has been quite a week. The Iraqi elections, State of the Union address, Social Security reform, and.....Michael Jackson. It was exhilarating to witness the elections, it will be something in the days to come that is remembered as a world-altering event. Our grandchildren will learn about it in school and ask us with wide eyes, "Wow Grandma/Grandpa, you remember that?" All of the social security rhetoric has been somewhat distracting from the more important matters of the week. I do like the President's plan, any money the government let's the private sector manage fares better. (Wasteful government spending in lieu of private contracts? Not. The private sector always out performs. Hence, smaller government=less taxes.) And....did it ever occur to the opponents of Social Security Reform that maybe Social Security is in trouble because there are roughly 35 million Americans not earning a wage and paying into the Social Security system because they were aborted?

Listening to the juvenile antics of the left with regards to the supposed 'staging' of Janet Norwood and Safia Taleb al-Suhai was the icing on the cake. These politicians are paid with tax-payer money; if I were a Dem I would be embarrassed that my chosen representative is wasting their time on such mindless blibber-blabber. Are they really being paid to evaluate this genuine, touching moment? I WANT THAT JOB!! (As I said before, keep talking, keep talking--tee hee.)

I have stated many times before and I will again, I am not an avid television watcher, but I watched last night (no wrestling to be at). There was a 'Happy Days 30th Anniversary' special on. That was one of my favorite shows as a girl, and it was a pleasant evening reliving those years. But, I have something to shove into the face of J. In a prior post I stated that I felt that no longer was 'Art a reflection of life, but rather Life was now a reflection of Art'. J opined vehemently against my analogy, but here's the evidence. Last night they stated many statistics regarding the show, but one stood out to me. Illiteracy was becoming a problem in the US and the writers of the show were asked to promote reading. They wrote an episode where in The Fonz decided to get a library card. Registrations for library cards went up 500% after that episode, someone owes me an apology.
