Doing the "RIGHT" thing

Since when did doing the right thing turn into meaning we should do what we need to do to make people like us? Those are games for high school drama queens, not for making political policies. Since when has doing the right thing EVER been the popular thing to do? Since when has doing the RIGHT thing ever been the easy road to take? I get sick and tired of hearing the excuse that we need to change our policies because the world hates us. WHO CARES??? We, our administration in government, is/are doing what we feel is the right thing. Could we as a country do things better? OF COURSE. We, the United States of America, are the scapegoat for the world's dirty work and we are the ones who get labeled as the bad guy. It is beyond ridiculous now. And I'm so sorry to inform all of the Bush Bashers about this, but there was corruption in government long before Bush1 or Bush2 ever got there. And yes, it didn't come with Bill Clinton either. It has been there for many many years. George W. Bush is the bad guy now because he is where the buck stops.

I stand by my statement that too many people have opened their minds so much their brains have fallen out. It is popular to bash the president. Everyone is doing it, that means it must be right.

Mmm, yeah OK!

I don't like Time Changes...

It throws off my sleep, my daily schedule... It's 8:40 and I'm finally rolling out of bed. Maybe that has to do with the fact that I didn't go to bed until 2am. BUT, how can I go to bed at a 'normal' time when my body thinks it's an hour behind?! GAAH!! I wonder how the grand experiment of starting DST early is going to end up. I think, just for kicks and giggles, next year, we shouldn't even change the clocks. See what THAT does to our energy consumption. I don't like these people playing with my sleep schedule. Aren't there places in Indiana and Arizona that ignore the time change? I'm going there!!! Seriously though, I guess the one bright point of this daylight savings time thing is that it is after 8:30am and Aiden is still asleep, and he even went to bed between 8 and 8:30 last night. He had been waking up earlier and earlier until today. He's sawing logs in his crib right now. :o)

Spring is springing in NC this week. Our high yesterday was in the 70's and this week we are forecast to hit 80! How crazy is that?! Trees are budding, daffodils are past their peak, and my plants are starting to poke their heads out of the soil. I weeded my front flower bed this weekend because they got incredibly out of hand with this warm weather we've had.

I never got to comment on American Idol this week. Oh wow, what a shocker!! I cannot believe that Sanjaya is staying. He has a nice voice, but he is BORING. And I love happy people, but goodness, this guy smiles ALL THE TIME, well except when he's waiting for the results to be read. Then he himself is incredibly surprised that he made it through to the next round. He's overcome with such amazement that even he can't even smile. I'm glad Antonella is gone. She just didn't do very well at all. Her voice in the lower register... nuh uh. She couldn't hit them. I'm quite shocked that she made it as far as she did. And Sabrina going home... while I think she was the better singer over Haley, I'm not surprised in the least. And to be perfectly honest... I VOTED FOR HALEY. I don't know what it was about Sabrina. I just didn't see STAR when she was up on stage. I saw a singing machine, a robot with a good, well trained voice, but she lacked charisma. Now did Haley have that much more personality? No, but for some reason I just liked her more. And her voice isn't bad. I'm eager to see what she does in the coming weeks.

OK, there is my update. And it sounds like I've finished just in time as I hear Aiden singing from his room. :o)

Happy Monday!
