Women on the Rise for Elected Office
Last week, Germany installed its first female chancellor (for anyone confused, this is Adolf Hitler's old job). This is a giant move forward for women receiving larger roles in government. Germany, which has the world's third largest economy, has allowed the US to follow suit.
In 2008, I believe most eyes are focusing on Hillary Clinton to succeed King George to the presidency. It will be a curious spectacle to see if Hillary would accept such a nomination (and I believe she will).

Can you feel the love?
Saudi Arabia has pledged $1 billion for the recovery of Iraq's infrastructure. Isn't that sweet?
I believe it reduces down to a bit of "pay off" money. I am sure that most of the money they are going to donate came from high prices at the American gas pump! Of course, in business you want to pass on the costs of business to your consumer, which is exactly what the al-Sauds did!

Dissention in the Ranks
Finally, a handful of Republican senators who are willing to take a stand against some of Bush's foreign policies!
Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) stated that the White House should take a proactive stance against the abuse and torture of foreign prisoners. This stance has been advocated by Senator John McCain (R-AZ), and is supported by Hagel. Vice President Dick Cheney, however, supports the use of torture against CIA-held detainees.
I believe if the US had focused its attention on Afghanistan, Pakistan and al-Queda, it would have been much more successful in rooting out these extremists, who actually presented a real danger to the United States. Now we are stuck pumping a billion dollars a week into Iraq to fight a war that cannot be won! Logical, huh?
When will the US Congress hold George Bush accountable for high treason, misrepresentation and crimes against humanity?
In 2006, we must vote to return Democrats to the US Congress! That is our only hope for sanity and accountability!

Arctic Drilling
The US Senate has given its support for drilling in the Arctic region of Alaska.
Reluctantly, I, also, give my support to this measure. I believe the US must become self-reliant for its energy needs. Furthermore, drilling for oil in this region does not mean the creatures that inhabit this area will be disturbed. I do, however, believe there must be a strong support system for making sure that companies receiving authorization to drill do it in a restrictive way, which will preserve the natural beauty of this area.
In addition, to this measure, the Congress should give full attention and full funding to support research relating to alternate fuel sources for our vehicles, such as bio-diesel and hydrogen. I realize these may not be popular items, but they are pressing at this time, considering the price of gasoline!

Royal Visit
My, my...I seem to have a lot to catch up today!
I love the hype that goes along with Prince Charles' visit to the U.S. The people on tv say that he, and his new wife, does not have the fortitude and star-power he had with Diana. They report no one is watching what is going on and no one really cares. Now, come on! Just by reporting this story 10,000 times in one day supports the exact opposite!
Also, I was flipping through the channels and Larry King was doing a show just on them! I think a man, who will be king, needs a sort of subdued limelight. He mustn't create too much rhetoric or invite criticism. Finally, the "Cinderella" quality of his life is gone and the reality of his real situation can be understood.
Isn't that what is mommy always wanted?

Alito
I am missing Harriet Miers already. Like the pundits predicted, George has selected an ultra-conservative, Samuel Alito, to replace a moderate vote on the Supreme Court. Of course, this man will be in the fashion of Scalia and Thomas. If confirmed by the United States Senate, the Court can begin to unravel our nation in favor of the conservative Christian base, which Bush panders to (why? I just don't know!).
How sad!
How sad!
Bush in Argentina
I love it! If George Bush had a clue, he would know how much he is hated, not only in his own country, but around the world.
Now I concede there are protestors and organized mischief anytime the president (any president, for that matter) travels abroad. But I believe the message from this experience is simple: George Bush you are a fascist! The United States is an imperialist nation, thanks to you. We conquer other nations with disregard for international justice and the welfare of the local people.
Bush is now in the world of Eva Peron, who blasted the wealth and opulence our nation has.
Bush you better get out while you can!
