Pauline’s Daily Happenings

  • The rain was coming down so hard this morning that I thought I was back in FL. We had a stream going down our street. #
  • Specter changes parties!! http://tinyurl.com/d7eg9w WOW! #
  • I’ve always liked that Spector was his own man, even if I don’t always agree with him. He is where the GOP should’ve been. He not a yes man. #
  • Spector will help keep the dems in check, even if he is in the party. #
  • Damn Jack! I love it when you get on a roll : http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/28/cafferty.cheney/index.html #
  • I thought this was going to be a slow news day with nothing but swine flu updates (yuck). Much better now. =) #
  • Figured out why I couldn’t get through to my best friend with my new phone….the number was goofed coming in from my outlook contacts..oops #
  • It is amazing what a positive image can do for women of color worldwide : http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/28/first.lady/index.html #
  • @PA_CBookwalter Come on Blazers!!! #
  • It was great that the Trail Blazers won tonight. Houston is a very good team. #

Busy News Day

I thought I would be totally bored with all the swine flu freak outs.  Yes, I know that swine flu is serious, but the way they are going on they are panicing and overstating it.  More people die from the regular flu on yearly basis, don’t hear anything about that. (Regular flu has killed thousands since January)

I am very surprised that Spector went dem.  I actually thought he would go independent.  I don’t always agree with him (Anita Hill, employee check card….etc), but I respected that fact that he was moderate rep, not some right wing nut job and that he was his own man on issues.  I’m independent with liberal leanings, but I’m not a dem and know that there are good reps out there.  So I was hoping that he would be able to bring his party back around from the extremism that it has become.  All parties need checks and balances within reason.

But I don’t get the commentators with the filibuster proof vote that the dems may get.  That is totally not true.  Spector is no yes man and they will have to make concessions to get his vote as they did when he was rep.  So he went from a moderate rep to a conservative dem.

His leaving the GOP is reflection of how bad that party has gotten.  His statement at his press conference was a critique of what is wrong with the party and all the moderates it has drum out.  Until they can fix that, they will in the wild for awhile.  This article fully shows the divide and unreasonable expectations that the GOP has become  :  http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/28/specter-defection-highlights-gop-divide-in-south-carolina/

I posted more news stories in my tweets.  =)  So you know what I’ve been following.

I found a few more apps for my iphone through our friends’ suggestions.  Those have been fun.  I do need to fully go through them to make sure that I don’t have a bunch of space wasters.
