Overload!

Posted by Little Miss Know it All

March 13, 2007 |

I’ve been very silent these past few weeks, and there’s been good reason for that.  However, much of it is simple overload.  There’s just been too much that makes my blood boil, or at least my skin crawl, and I haven’t been able to sort it out of its jumble.  So here it is, in all its messiness.

1.  Just how many wounded are there?  According to Sen. Jim Webb, the military lists are, oh, about 200,000 short of the actual number.  Says the DOD lists are of 25,000 injuries (or so) and the military hospitals report over 200,000.  He suggested we go look at the number of Purple Hearts given out, that we’d have a more accurate number. 

2.  The FBI grossly underreporting their abuse of powers.  I won’t go there.  They might be listening.

3.  The administration is forbidding two of its own scientists from Alaska to talk at an international conference on greenhouse gases and global warming until they agree to spout the administration line.  Seriously, they were slapped with a gag order, forbidding them to talk about melting polar ice caps, the affects of green house gases or the endangerment of Polar Bears.

4.  The Cincinnati Enquirer (why do I still subscribe to that?) had a call out for comments on the Walter Reed Hospital story, saying that Washington has responded with quick and urgent action.  Their action according to the Enquirer?  Hearings and Congressional Investigations.  Folks, that’s not action, that’s what got us into this spot in the first place.  The guy they just fired, had six months in the job.  That’s enough time to figure out what the budgets were he was stuck with by the past Congress, who his buddies are, who his enemies are, and begin surveying what needs to be done.  He wasn’t even there long enough to begin the massive two year process (often longer) of battling for a better budget an re-organization of the funds in it.

 5.  Jenna Bush’s “makeover.”  Just because she visits a few poor people in the mountains of South America does NOT make her Mother Theresa.  Party girls can visit shelters and then still party all night. 

6.  Newt’s “Honesty.”  Please, it was one giant political maneuver.  We all knew about the affair, it was old news.  It was a traditional political ploy–neutralize your flaws before they can be used against you.  And he did it on the show of the bastion of the Evangelical world–Dr James Dobson.  He admitted his wrongs, talked about prayer and Christ, and then…not much.  I didn’t hear true repentance, I heard–let me cover my butt before I get it whupped in the presidential race.

 7.  Anne Northrup’s candidacy.  Sorry to those of you not from Ky, but you think the Presidential race is crowded, come visit our Gubernatorial race.  Okay, so this woman always reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West.  Looks like she just sucked a lemon.  And now that her campaign against Gov. Fletcher is taking off, what’s her big rationale for her candidacy?  Vote for me, Ernie can’t win.  Well, sure, that’s an inspiring campaign slogan.  Let me jump right on that bandwagon!  Oh wait, she’s got McConnell and Bunning on there.  Nope, can’t stand to be within 100 feet of those two, or Little Miss Know it All will finally have the stroke I left politics to avoid.

8.  Hillary, Obama, Hillary, Obama, Guiliani, Obama, Hillary….give it a freaking rest already!  All of them are going to burn out at this rate!

 There’s more, there’s always more.  But I’ll stop before my blood pressure rises any further!
