Would You Let Your Children Play in the Oil?

I live in San Diego.  Way far away from the effects of the catastrophic oil spill that is plaguing the Gulf of Mexico.  And while I definitely have my opinions on what is happening there, I have kept quiet.  I don’t really feel that my opinion matters when it’s not my life, my beach, my gulf that is in peril.  Blog posts about the Gulf should be reserved for those living on the Gulf.  But today, I came across a YouTube video that absolutely flabbergasted me! Holy crap!  What...

Delegate Robert G. Marshall is an Ass

RICHMOND – Western Prince William Del. Bob Marshall (R-13th) says disabled children are God’s punishment to women who have aborted their first pregnancy. He made that statement last Thursday at a press conference to oppose state funding for Planned Parenthood. “The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children,” said Marshall, a Republican. “In the Old Testament, the first born of every being,...

My Thoughts on the First Half of the Olympics

Are you watching the Olympics? Of course you are. Right? I’m trying to watch them but it’s hard for me to stay up so late. I’ve been wondering why NBC can’t show some of the good events earlier in the day instead of holding them till after 10pm. It’s really annoying.  Plus, I was so excited to be able to share this Olympics with Anthony and I can’t since coverage comes on so late. Yesterday we were able to catch some of the Freestyle Skiing that was on early...

My Favorite Super Bowl Commercials

Sooo…how about that Super Bowl?? My family gathered at my aunts house to watch the game.  Bob had to work and I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the game since I would have to keep eyes on my crazy monkey boys by myself.  But as it turned out, I think I got to watch most of it and had a great time. I think it was an AWESOME game!  Very exciting.  I was routing for the Saints so was very happy with the...
