Happy Wednesday, and a really interesting quote…

1 10 2008

I was reading Time Magazine online today, and found this quote:

STEVE LATOURETTE, Congressman from Ohio, who voted against the Wall Street bailout bill, on how constituent opinion is split on the legislation.
Amen, brothers and sisters.
And Happy Hump Day.
TTFN.

Neat.

Sea floods Texas island; get out or ‘certain death’ – CNN.com.

I’ve got a personal connection to Ike, although not directly.

My daughter-in-law Kim was supposed to travel through Houston to Seattle today, and that flight has been canceled. She will be home Sunday instead of Friday.

My prayers and best wishes to the people of Texas.

I hope everyone gets out safely.

 Obama says Palin’s family off-limits – CNN.com

Good for you, Obama.

Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

And??

Teenagers have sex, folks, and sometimes they get pregnant.

Even, heaven help us, teenagers of Republicans (gasp).

The media needs to back off this one.

CNN is talking about it now.

Let it be, CNN.

I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day!





Dear Cindy Anthony,

1 09 2008

I know that you care about people.

I saw your concern when a protester was yelling at you, in front of your home. The woman was yelling at you, and you worried about her blood pressure.

You are a nurse, a mother, and a grandmother.

I cannot imagine what you are going through right now, because I am a mother and a grandmother also.

My son is the light of my life, and my grandchildren are my precious treasures.

If I was in your shoes, I just don’t know what I would do.

I’ve said, and written, about how I would act, but the disappearance and suspected death of one of my grandchildren is beyond my comprehension.

God, I don’t know what I would do, how I would act.

And worse, if everyone believed that my child was the perpetrator is even more unthinkable.

But Cindy, you need to suspend your rage and grief for now.

You owe Caylee a decent burial.

Caylee is your blood also, Cindy, and she’s gone.

You know this.

As  Casey’s mother, you know, better than anyone, how to get the truth out of your daughter.

I’m sorry that I have judged you harshly throughout this awful time, but it’s not about me, and it’s not about you.

It’s not even about Casey, not right now.

Find Caylee and give her the decent burial she deserves.

Sincerely,

Beth

Well folks, I may get some even snarkier comments now, but I just had to post this.

 Mandatory evacuations to begin Sunday morning in New Orleans – CNN.com

I watched mayor Ray Nagin lay it on the line with New Orleans citizens.

Nagin called Gustav “the storm of the century.”

Good gracious, I hope he is wrong.

My prayers to all in the path of Gustav.
