Babble & NewsFlash

Well, I’m getting closer to having most things caught up.  So happy about that.  I have the weekend to get some of done, but I can do it more at my pace.

Regardless, tomorrow night is movie night.  I’m finding that Fridays seem to be the best for them.  Things slow down on work and I can chill….but maybe I just get the “screw it” attitude after a week of work………grin

At the gym, I just go the treadmill in.  But I did beat my old best, so that was good.  Wondering how hard I’m going to get worked tomorrow.  I try not to pay attention to what he does when he sets the weights, because I’m afraid I’ll mentally mess myself up for it, but I do know that he is increasing them…..I can feel it.

I did a small goof on my diet today, I’m still within calories, but had a big dinner.  He wants me to eat about 200 calories every 2 hours, but I was so hungry that I picked up some KFC.

Here is my news flash of the day :

Texas Seizure of Polygamist Sect Kids Thrown Out

The Third Court of Appeals in Austin said the state failed to show the youngsters were in any immediate danger, the only grounds in Texas law for taking children from their parents without court action.

**Now who the hell did not see this coming?  I fully disagree with the them forcing young girls into marriage, there is no doubt in my mind that it has and will happen with this cult.  But the way they went in a seize those children without proof to begin with…..you knew it that was going to be overturned.

McCain Rejects Pastor’s Endorsement 

Republican John McCain on Thursday rejected endorsements from two influential but controversial televangelists, saying there is no place for their incendiary criticisms of other faiths.

**About damn time.  But can someone tell where the hell is the uproar over the fact that he accept their endorsements before this came to light?  They sure are giving Obama crap about his former pastor, for a sermon he wasn’t even there for…..the media is so full of hypocrites, doesn’t help that many white middle class are racist and afraid of the “brown” man….so of course, Obama is going to crap while the white candidate won’t…..sad

Honors Bittersweet For Army Specialist 

To us, Corriveau and the rest of the soldiers honored Thursday, two of them posthumously so that their families received the medals, are heroes.

But that’s one of war’s many myths.

“Do you feel like a hero?” Martin asked.

“No. I did my job,” he said.

**Now for all of those who seemed to think that those old war movies show it like it is…..this is what it is really like for those who survive while their buddies don’t.

Senate Defeats Bush on Iraq War Spending 

In a stunning vote that illustrated President Bush’s diminished standing, the Senate on Thursday ignored his veto threat and added tens of billions of dollars for veterans and the unemployed to his Iraq war spending bill.

**I am one that hates all the unnecessary pork that our representatives add, but this is something that is so needed and smart.  I’m loving the fact that they finally ignored his veto threat.
