• Shaking my head.....

  I've been away packing a library.  It's time consuming and tiring.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

  But I have been reading the news and, as usual, a lot of it has me shaking my head.  Things are just so strange sometimes.....

  Judge Judy vs the demonic divorcee (or take your stinking plates and shove 'em!).  Judy Judy found herself in the middle of a messy divorce case.  She had apparently purchased some flatware and dishes from one of her producers who sold them, even though he was in the middle of a divorce and they were community property.  Judge Judy at first wanted to go to court, but in the end, gave the plates back to the producer.  It ended up costing her $50 grand.  Seeing as how she makes $47 million a year, this is chump change. 

  Which makes me wonder....what kind of plates were these that she just didn't go buy/commission her own set?

  CPAC #1

  During one of the meetings held at the conservative political action convention, a discussion was held about how to bring wavering members back to the conservative fold.

  As the discussion unfolded, Scott Terry (age 30) stood up to speak about how the Republican Party's drive to be more inclusive and reach out to more minorities, particularly blacks,  was disenfranchising "young, white, Southern males such as myself."  The moderator of the discussion, who was black, explained in a story about how Frederick Douglass wrote a letter to his former slave-owner forgiving the slave-owner.

  Terry's response?  "For giving him food and shelter?"

  The scene can be viewed on YouTube.

  When questioned, Terry admitted that he believes in segregation and would be perfectly comfortable in a society where blacks are subservient to whites.  He also stated that the Tea Party supports his positions as well.

  How far we have to go.

  I almost hurt myself shaking my head at that one.

  CPAC #2

  Ann Coulter.

  Stop gagging.  I know she's caustic and divisive.  But even this surprised me.

  Coulter made the comments that indicated that she is truly fringe material.

  Comment 1:  I used to believe that women just should not be able to vote.

  (Don't hurt yourself shaking your head at this one.)

  Comment 2:  Now I think at least Liberal women should not be able to hold office.

  Her comments were made in response to the sharp discussion between Sen. Diane Feinstein and Sen. Ted Cruz about gun control legislation where Feinstein told Cruz that he did not need to lecture her on the Constitution.

  Coulter went on to say that Liberal women are essentially crybabies who drag out pictures of dead children when they want to make a point.

  My head shaking on this one went into the level of disgusting snorting.  Coulter snipes to sell her books and fools buy them.  But Feinstein made a good point about the Constitution-the Tea Partiers drag it out and wave it around (in part now and then) when it suits them.  Far be it for them to actually read and understand the whole thing.

  Gun Control is a hot button these days.  The hyperbole about this is not likely to end soon.  But to tie this to denying half the population the right to vote or hold office? 

  I have to wonder if Coulter even understands which gender she is.....

  CPAC #3

  Chris Christie should have been invited.

  He may well be the Republican's best chance at the White House next time around.  Rubio and Cruz may not be able to pull in those conservative votes if many think like Scott Terry--hey, they just aren't white!

  As for Rand Paul?  The Republican party votes with the old folks.  Slashing Medicaid and Social Security will not gain you votes, mister.  (Not to mention your fuzzy math....)

  Makes me wonder....do the Republicans even want to try????

  Naked guy chases down a car.  Thinks it is following him.  Admits that maybe it's the bath salts talking.

  Bath salts.  This odious drug makes people do crazy stuff.

  What could possibly be the attraction?
