My Elvis is Dead

He moonwalked into my heart when I was 8 years old and never left. Micheal Jackson elevated the music video to an art form and set the platinum standard for being a performer. There is no one like him and and there never will be. I will be a fan forever.
King Michael, much love always. Go gently into that good night and rest in peace. Give my gandmommy a big hug and say hello to the godfather of soul.

Should Governor Sanford Resign?

If he used taxpayer money then YES! You don't refuse federal stimulus money that will help your state and then fly to another country on the taxpayer dime. And who is Mrs. Sanford fooling? This man spent father's day with another woman and her kids; that's love. The Sanford's are separated and he is in love with another woman. If the Sanfords stay together it's because the other woman wasn't ready to be a fulltime woman to the governor.

The governor has lost his "family values" card. It's time for this hypocrite to move aside and get his personal life in order.

He went to Argentina to meet with his lover?

Okay people what's really going on with the men of the GOP? First Nevada Senator Ensign admits he had an affair with a campaign staffer. Now Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who was MIA for awhile, is admitting he went to Argentina to meet up with a woman with whom he's having an affair. Did he charge this trip to the people of South Carolina? I hope not because I know I would be really upset if my tax dollars were subsidizing an extramarital affair.

These GOP folks were getting on President Obama for taking his wife out on a date. Maybe they should take a page out of his book. Isn't the GOP the "family values" party?

Bill Maher May Have Point

I watched the last episode of Real time with Bill Maher and realized he had a point about President Obama. We did not vote to see him eating burgers with the Vice Presdent or taking his wife for a date on Broadway. We voted for change. Of course we have to do our part. The President can only do so much. If we want change we have to force the President and Congress to make it happen. However, Bil Maher also said President Obama should also be more like George W. Bush. Basically he should bring a little "my way or the highway" mentality and stop trying to please everybody. Again Mr. Maher may have a point. If the last president could get through all his bad ideas and create the mess the Presidnet Obama inherited, then maybe our current leader should push through all his good ideas and effect real change, otherwise when it comes to the environment, healthcare reform, and the financial institutions, it will be business as usual.
