Maybe I Don't Understand Politics At All

The Republicans control both houses of Congress. They have a president that is twice elected. The electorate is composed of a majority of conservatives. So, call me naive, but why doesn't Bush simply throw down the gauntlet: Nominate a person to the Supreme Court that will say he/she is conservative, is a strict constructionist and, without any qualification, say that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and, if presented with the same facts, would overturn the decision. The Republicans will not always be in power. Minorities are generally Democrats and, as the years pass, the minority population will dwarf white, conservative, and Republican America. Why doesn't W take charge while he has an opportunity?

No One Can Comprehend These Numbers

For the last three months, Microsoft had sales of $9.74 billion and a net income of $3.14 billion. What a monster. But just think, twenty years ago Bill Gates had this thought: "Every computer will need a software program that will allow it to launch other programs. Let's create one call Windows and sell it to every computer manufacturer on the planet." But who would have thought that computers would be part of our lives like they are. The Internet ratcheted up the stakes.

I Hate Pop Up Ads

And two great tools to help you elimate them are: - Google's Toolbar, and - Yahoo's Toolbar. I actually keep both of them up and running all the time.

Many believe it was Harriet Miers's Spring 1993 speech to the Executive Women of Dallas that was the straw that broke the camel's back. She said: "The ongoing debate continues surrounding the attempt to once again criminalize abortions or to once and for all guarantee the freedom of the individual women's [sic] right to decide for herself whether she will have an abortion." The use of the word "freedom", without qualifications, probably sent off sirens to the right wing crowd.

FYI: I Have No Decorations Up

"FREDERICA, Del. - The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said."

I'm Insane . . .

Air Force Head Coach Fisher DeBerry is in trouble for these remarks: "It's very obvious to me the other day that [TCU] had a lot more Afro-American players than we did. It just seems to be that way that Afro-American kids can run very, very well." My only problem is with the term Afro-American.

It Used To Be That A Pat On The Butt Was Sufficient

Going, Going . . .

Gone. If it is her decision, I understand it. If it is Bush's decision, I can't believe he backed down.

Is That Al Roker With A Wig?

I'm not surprised Sheryl Swoopes is gay. I'm surprised that's her partner (right, background).

Another Reason . . .

A Professional Female Basketball Player Is Gay?

Sheryl Swoopes, former Tech star and professional basketball player is ....what do you call it....er....gay. So is it genetic? She doesn't think so: "I didn't always know I was gay. I honestly didn't. Do I think I was born this way? No. And that's probably confusing to some, because I know a lot of people believe that you are. I've been married, and I have an 8-year-old son. Being with a man was what I wanted. When I got divorced in 1999, it wasn't because I'm gay. I'm three years older than my ex-husband, and I matured a lot faster than he did. "
