You've got to love America

I do. I married an American and she is wonderful... so are her whole family. Love them all. Who else could I talk openly with about bodily functions (without being drunk at an American-Irish wedding)?

But. The others... no NOT 'The Others'. Now there is a series where the title was too short by two additional words like 'the plot'. Started so well, went wacky and then went wackier still. Utter garbage in my opinion. I would rather eat cement.

I am talking about the mindset behind some of the 300 million people (minus my wife it would make a number with lots of nines in it) who live there.

Exhibit A: Imagine if you will what a difference this amount of money being spent on peacefully 'overthrowing' Iraq would have made. Things like this would not have been written.

Or even a tiny amount being given out to victims of several natural disasters. Or even to people who really need financial support.

Exhibit B: I can turn on the TV and have many channels devoted to violence, rape, murder... etc but people are objecting to this.

Exhibit C: I am not sure what they are bitching about. Good grief, get a life.

And we will not even begin to talk about fiscal responsibility. If I ran my personal budget the same way I would probably be in jail or up the proverbial creek in some way shape or form. Still, the economy is on good shape. Thanks to the wife for reminding me about The Onion again. I had forgotten how funny it can be.

Now I am beginning to flag.
